This is what Christians worry about when people talk of Gnosticism and the New Age

Wasn't my observation accurate?

The bible asks, who told you you were naked.

I ask.

Why do Christians believe such lies?

Not one of those you mention ever answer as to why they were condemned in the first place?

They know it is a lie, because they have read the bible.

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV) "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.

The declaration which says that God visits the sins of the fathers upon the children is contrary to every principle of moral justice. [Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]

Jesus does not die for you. You have to die for Jesus and gain a Crist consciousness.

When you do, be you a Yahweh fan today or not, will condemn Yahweh and not innocent people.

Where did you get that idea?

Baptism and scriptures that say we are sinners in the womb.

You do not know much for a guy who knows a lot.

As I said before, you seem to know me better than I know myself.

With respect, fear is of the mind and so is insecurity. When we are insecure then we want to clamp down on things that we dislike.

There are many wonderful Christian Saints who can teach you many wonderful things. Hold on to God if that is what your heart desires but also live and let live, Honza, if you can.

There is no punishment or hell greater than the fires of your own mind - that which bends you this way and that.

Fear feels powerful, but in actuality, you are much stronger than fear - you just do not know it.

Take that which comforts you, brings you peace and relief and hold on only to that. Write phrases that show you the way of inner peace and stick those to your door, mirror and kitchen table. When you feel scared, look at those and focus on your breath for a few seconds. The fear will pass, and you will know next time that you are stronger than it.

Take heart that God is benevolent and don't (if I may) waste your time reading too many Christian scriptures as they will also do your head in. Just focus on a few phrases that bring you peace inside, and a better ability to cope with the pressures that you feel now.

Sinners in the womb is certainly a Christian belief and one of the most ridiculous Teaching I've read.

How easy it is to take something out of context.............


and was Psalm 51 written by Jesus? Maybe it was written by God?
Or could it have been written by a person who was not a Christian and was a person who was remorseful for the things they had done?


Alas, the choice will be made so as to perpetuate the agenda.
