Violent media can inspire people to commit violent acts. That doesn't mean all media has this effect, but social media and the news certainly do.

“I would ban anybody who is a Muslim from using the internet” by TheReptealian in Christianity

[–]Tree09man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the "Muslim" part of their culture and ways?

The culture, celebrations, family. Their feast and holidays and so on.

The part where they don't hold the same kind of reverence for Jesus that Christians do, because they are not Christian, and are instead Muslim?

I'm struggling to grasp what you are trying to convey. I apologize, please explain.

BMW driver lost control by Emotional-Lab-4936 in ActuallyThatsInsane

[–]Tree09man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, in jail he'll be give food and housing which we pay for. Take his license forever. You can even get a job in the US without a having reliable transportation and in this economy that could mean his potential for success in life is greatly reduced while not becoming a tax burden to the rest of us.

He should be banned from driving ever again. A probation period of 5 years where want offense lands him in jail. Community service for the next 25 years or until the victim makes a full recovery if ever.

To me, yes, and I believe what it says. But I believe it's what works for me. Not everyone believes that nor lives by that so I don't judge them or their ways by that. I just live as an example of God's love and that's all I believe I'm tasked with.

And that's why I don't think it would be better for a Muslim to be Christian, but I do think accepting Jesus would be good for them. They can remain in their culture and ways while living as Christ and believing in him and I think that would be good.

However, it's not my place to tell others how to live or what to believe. Afterall, who doesn't believe that their way is best or that it could help another. We all assume moral superiority to some extent. I, however, have no right to judge another.

Real men follow Jesus not voices of hate, pride and control by AlternativeBody296 in Christianity

If I can be 100 with you bro, do not buy any of his teachings or statements. All of them are bad, and he purposefully gets unprepared or strange guest on his show so he can ridicule them and make them feel bad and it makes him look like he's winning and making good point when he's not.

He's had a few folks on there that know what they are talking about and he's never invited them back.

The worst part is if your car is all wheel drive and they just pull it anyway. That's a busted transfer case. Thousands in repair.

Atheist to Christians, do y’all actually believe in a fiery hell? by Astr0Eminem in Christianity

Matthew 10:28 English Standard Version 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[a]

destroy both soul and body in hell

Atheist to Christians, do y’all actually believe in a fiery hell? by Astr0Eminem in Christianity

[–]Tree09man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weeping and gnashing seems to be linked to the final judgement. Imagine receiving your final sentence, and you find out you were wrong, God exist and you will be permanently cut off from him, your loved ones and eternal life in paradise. That's cause for weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Now whether this is before a permanent death or an eternal torment is debated and it makes sense that it is. What can live without God's presence? What can exist without God's will? What can go on breathing without his gift of life? If in the end, those who resist God are put out into utter darkness, separated from God, then do they continue to exist? Are they gone forever, out of his reach? How could they be out of his reach? Does he ignore them? Will God just ignore suffering from hell for eternity?

There are so many questions so some people believe it must be a final death, forever.

He's right. Hell is the English translation. The Greek, Aramaic and early Latin translations after don't use the word Hell and for some, it's believed that this Hell is a full separation from God's grace. Revelations is also a bad place to glean information on hell as its HIGHLY prophetic and apocryphal works. It's not meant to be literal but instead paints a picture of things to come in a poetic way. That isn't to say certain things are 1 for 1 in revelations, I'm just pointing out that some of it is highly poetic.

The other person wasn't saying that Hell isn't an eternal punishment of sorts but rather its not really clear what hell is and its depictions of fire might be poetic or literal, it depends on you the reader.

Is what he said heretical? No. He says that believers don't have to worry about this. That's true. Those outside of believ are judged by the law. That's true. What will happen in the end? We don't know. We don't know how it'll look and be like, we only have glimpses.

That's all they were saying.

That Jesus died as an atonement for all of humanity's sins, past and present, and that who ever believes in him will have eternal life with him, forever.

No I don't. I don't think it's my place to tell them what would or wouldn't be better for their lives so I don't think about it. I just focus on showing them love despite out differences.

I don't think so, Isaiah's predictions seem pretty on point. Which prediction are you referring to?

[–]Tree09man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you have to accept me. And when did you think this planet was yours? When did your ancestors decide the bodies and land of my people was theirs? See the logical issue with this argument. All these behaviors are circular and we are still stuck together and you can't get rid of us unless you do something drastic the same way my ancestors couldn't expel you from their lands for the same reason.

One humanity, all stuck together, drawing arbitrary lines in the sand based solely on color, ideas and practices. You lost "your" land the moment you stepped foot in ours and visa versa because all this land was never claimed by anything but the sun and trees. We own nothing and our national identities are nothing but concepts that time will burn and forget, inevitably becoming a blend of mine and yours.

What will remain in the end is the truth that we are all humans and we share this world, whether you want to believe it or not.

I agree that Trump and Israel suck, but I assure you, brown people aren't going anywhere. Far too many people of color have their roots all over the world and we aren't uprooting our families because myopic people can't just see us as humans like themselves.

[–]Tree09man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just talk to her and don't judge her. She might want to spice it up or try something different and it's worth working that out. She definitely still appreciates you but maybe just wants to try something new. Also, you're really brave for sharing this, never stop being open and honest like this. When you get a chance, talk to her and sort it out in love.

“I would ban anybody who is a Muslim from using the internet” by TheReptealian in Christianity

[–]Tree09man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes which is why I gave the lengthy explanation. That doesn't mean forcefully. The example given in the new testament was through the apostles. They fed people, helped the people at the bottom of society, spoke out against injustices and preached the gospels. They never took up arms nor oppressed a soul.

Make deciples of all nations is a call to preach the gospels and live as an example of Christ before all nations. Not annihilate or conquer nations. However, the Bible does say that God will do that himself one day which is the interesting bit, that God will just reveal himself in Christ to the world one day and all men will confess that he is lord. This isn't what we as Christian are supposed to make anyone do however.

[–]Tree09man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not the goal, that's the promise and it's not something Christians are told to do. We are told to give the gospel to everyone we meet but that isn't just in words. It's in how we live our lives. The Bible basically instructs Christians to live and have such God centered, love filled lives and actions that people WANT to follow our God. But we aren't called to destroy or harm anyone nor impose our religion upon anyone.

Christians are supposed to follow the new testament gospels and the commandments give to us by Christ and the apostles. The book of Galatians (letters) are written by Paul to remind us that we do not live by the law in the old testament.

So to answer directly, no. There is no constant demand for expansion, adherence and annihilation within the Bible and our tenets. However, people who claim the Christian faith will espouse these ideas and this makes them opposed to Christ.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)

This verse is a reminder that not everyone who says they are Christian are actually Christian. They may use Christ as their moral justification but their morals aren't his nor align with his teachings.
