Why I feel Stuck in Christianity

[themonkeyman]

It's always fun trying to read the opposite into something than it means.

Yep - you have to remember this as well MonkeyMan. When the bible said God destroyed everyone (and everything, including the cute puppies and kittens), it meant: "he gave them all a chocolate ice cream".

Just replace kill (and destroy) with chocolate ice cream and all the stories become much better.

(It would not surprise me if Christians think this )

Going to be honest here and say that I don't believe a word in what Christians say. I said I worried about the Unforgivable sin and that's what put me here. The fact that not one Christian can actually work out what it is. I figured there was 20 different opinions and at that point how the fuck can they all be right.

Jesus said it - Didn't tell us what it meant and then died! That's cruel - Because the people who are affected and afflicted by this are Christians no-one else. And the people most likely to Blaspheme would be Believers and the Pharisees were believers!

And don't Christian's give me this hard of heart bull shit Jesus said 'Speak' he did not say 'Feel'.

Intrestingly I do realise that Jesus said it wont be forgiven but never said it was a sin. And that it was worthy of ever lasting 'Contempt' e.g. 'Disrespect' So technically Jesus never said it would send you to hell nor did he say that it excluded you from heaven. Considering he had a fascination with hell through his ministry its funny how he told the world about One sin that spells disaster but talked right over it!

The English words used might not help you to understand what is meant exactly Chas. The original words can be understood quite accurately, if they're freed from the baggage we add.

Its funny having an Ex-Christian talk to a Christian as you are going to have the same scripture thrown at you. Which is interesting - Because oddly enough the bible can literally be used to make anyone believe whatever they want.

The other thing I did not get about Sodom and Gomorrah is the fact that God said there was not a single righteous person that's why he sent the Angels to Destroy it! So Lott and his family were actually no better from the people of Sodom and Gomorrah! The really strange thing is that the Angels Proceed to chat to Lott even when we hear in the preceding passage that the crowds were going to knock the door down! Where did the crowds Go?!
