"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....
Thats some crazy stuff right there.
ReplyDeleteGreat feature. If you read the bible Jesus's birth and death have different accounts. I don't see why christians don't question this.
ReplyDeleteThats what Matthew Mark and Luke are four different accounts from four different people and their perspctives. "No two people see the same or understand the same. Som whats new?
ReplyDeleteChrist was an alien to this planet and thats really all we need to know. He was a Celestial being, we are terrestial beings. We are bound to the earth He wasn't, and is not. He is the King of the Space men, of which their many, and few of us, earthlings"
To, make a long story short He will return again to earth.
"Time will tell"
And we have all the time in the world...

ReplyDeleteQUICK...come up for air! Your brain is already suffering from severe oxygen deprivation.
Jesus is not my king. Us Space Men don't have one.
ReplyDeleteI've also thought about this zombie thing recently and it's really a major flaw in the bible.
No other historian records such an event happening.
Not even any mention in Josephus, or any Roman records, or Jewish records, or anything or anyone else's writings...
Surely it would have been mentioned, even if only attributed to their own gods.
All it takes is a moment to stop and think about these verses instead of just brushing over them in the flow of the passion story.
Of all the gospels Matthew is the biggest bullshitter. He's got the most bogus prophecy 'fulfillments' and the most ridiculous miracles, all on top of this big zombie farce.
Im just thinking about it and what if Matthew saw it differently and what he saw had a great effect on his feelings at the time. He would want to try to explain in a way , most likely poetic to him and others and dramatically as well,the way he felt when he saw this. Maybe actual dead people never rose but the people at the death of Christ may have looked so sad and deprived of there faith and beliefs that they litterally looked dead and had no feelings. The bible is filled with parables and metaphors, maybe this is just one of those. Im sure if you look throughout history you can see other peoples accounts that have used this sort of imagery to convey a message of how they were feeling. I hope this makes sense.
