This is a ridiculous measure. I am a Christian, I go to the gym (mixed) and I go, work out and then go home. While it is true that some people, men and women alike, go to the gym to "show skin and muscle", the vast majority go to stay healthy and try (sometimes failing miserably, like me) to be a bit healthier and lose some weight.
Now, let's hear all the people here tell me how being a Christian makes me a far-right Republican pedophile homophobic whatever else.
That way of thinking is so tiresome. If I'm not gay, it makes me a homophobic, if I disagree with anything left-leaning, it makes me a Nazi, if I disagree with anything right-leaning, now I'm a liberal.
While I am disgusted to no end at how so many people is dumping on Jesus, I do understand that the only cure for ignorance is not wanting to be ignorant anymore and doing something about it, like having open minded conversations instead of doing, well, that which I mentioned above.
No wonder this world is failing the way it is. Hopefully more people will understand the merciful sacrifice of Jesus so that everyone that trusts Him does not 'die', but Jas access to eternal life. We all will be removed from this world at some point. Make what you will from this, I for one want to be able to enjoy a new earth when it's time. And if I am wrong, well, no harm done, it is what it is, but if right, I certainly don't want to risk the consequences.
I was with you the first 4 paragraphs. But than the Him and merciful stuff started and you lost me.
That is part of why I personally can't get on board with any religion. In one way or the other, it always gets snuck in and subtly trying to convert you.
Yes, for the open conversation. Yes to the fact there is no middle ground anymore and everything is extreme. Yes this whole gym thing is ridiculous.
But no to the Middle Eastern carpenter's sacrifice, eternal life and a new earth.
BTW no downvote from me because I respect your opinion. Even if it is definitely not for me.
I really appreciate it man. See? We disagree, and that's fine, I bet we can also go out for a beer together and dig deeper into this, and into how we're royally messed up in terms of our privacy in the internet and every other aspect of our lives. Thank you. I also respect your beliefs.
Wait, isn't the conclusion just Pascal's wager?
Your first paragraph was enough. You didn't need to go on a schizo rant against somebody that isn't here cause you feel a constant need to defend yourself.
How is it a content need of this is the first time I post about this? And I'm not defending anything, I'm mainly stating my personal facts based on my beliefs, just like everyone else.
Genuinely, as a 15+ year former AoG Christian, you're not being persecuted man, and neither is Christianity. It's all an act keep you on the defensive like this and running back to the church because everyone is out to get you and them.
You're just fine on your own man, and you are a stronger force for good when you are doing it for yourself. It's scary but just think about it for a bit, and don't be afraid to question the things you know in your heart are questionable. All the best to you.
I fully agree with you. The Assembly of God, just like any other church associations out there, are man made and their sole purpose is to manipulate the masses. And even more importantly, church is just a place I go to, going or not going has absolutely no bearing in my faith. All men are flawed, none of us can claim perfection. And finally, I can absolutely make it on ky own with God, I don't need other people for this. I do, however, like going to church every now and then, but it's not like I will drop delivering a time sensitive project because I have to go to church, that's focusing on the things of this world, and I'm not interested.
I was part of a pentecostal church once, those tend to be incredibly toxic and full of lies.
How's being a far-right Republican pedophile homophobic whatever else working out for you? You happy? Can you go say it to yourself in the mirror?
Lol, see what i mean?
May I ask, since you believe in magical sky fairies, why you don't just pray for bigger muscles?
Is it because you know prayer achieves nothing and there is no god?
Simple. Though I am (currently, until the day I die) part of this world, my main concern is to make sure my soul, and as many as I can possibly tell about Jesus' love, is saved. Everything else is not really a priority. In my faith, you may call it fantasy, my priorities are God, my family (wife and kids specifically) and my job, in that same order. The rest (going ro church, friends, video games, relatives, physical improvement, etc) Ia secondary and none of them have a specific priority order. That will entirely depend on the moment and circumstances. I hope that answers your question.
As proven by multiple large rigorous studies
I will also need a rigorous study to prove Santa Claus isn't real. Also Zeus.
You mean Santa isn’t real?! Then who’s the guy I keep catching my mom making out with? 🧐
