<title>karl</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1043476469</link><description>It horrors me to think that people believe in a &amp;quot;god&amp;quot; when there is absolutely no basis for belief except so called &amp;quot;faith&amp;quot; which is indoctrinated by a powerful institution.  If the Government today said &amp;quot;you must believe in this or that&amp;quot; we would be infuriated and protest, yet this Christianity is a remnant of Roman rule, and it still controls the masses. Christianity was brought into being by Emperor Constantine as a way to control, he marched his armies under the cross claiming some sort of divine power was at play. The whole thing is a con, anyone with half a brain can see it is.  Roman Emperor... now there someone you can trust huh? 99.9% of christians haven&amp;#039;t researched the foundation of their &amp;quot;faith&amp;quot;, they prefer to be sheep, told what to believe by a church they think they can trust, a church that has imposed its arcane will on the masses for millennia, hiding the truth and pushing the mystery.</description><pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2017 20:53:58 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1043476469</guid></item><item>

Running repeated Monte Carlo simulations to generate a variety of universe versions starting with a big-bang and ending in a big-crunch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good Catholic lad, puzzled by the illogic.</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2017 12:19:07 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1043413322</guid></item><item>
<title>zex serbia</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1034223108</link><description>Its simple, because bacteria, dental hygiene, atmosphere, sun etc., its not imported for our salvation and eternal life. If God exists, our scientific knowledge is relative, and it  is important only for this life. On the moment of my death, the fact that i know like is water formula or how deep is Marianne trenches its not important.  That knowledge will not saves me. (Sorry, my English is not good, but i hope so you will understand me)</description><pubDate>Thu, 24 Nov 2016 10:06:19 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1034223108</guid></item><item>

I will try to answer your question with another question: What importance?</description><pubDate>Fri, 23 Sep 2016 04:58:36 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1030649327</guid></item><item>
<title>Abrahamism1</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1029627862</link><description>Why should Jesus mention bacteria, pasteurization, or the importance of dental hygiene? Do you want from him to manufacture a toilet paper so that your pagan grand grand grandmother clean her asshole?   The freethinkers of the West are  beyond ignorant.   You need to read this interesting article:     &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.abrahamfatherofatheism.com/jesus&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.abrahamfatherofatheism.com/jesus&lt;/a&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 6 Sep 2016 23:11:38 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1029627862</guid></item><item>
<title>Buddy Fazzio</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1029596594</link><description>Also realize this society was not stupid. Anaximander of Miletus had already postulated his own theory of evolution and the pythagoran theory was over 500 years old.  Jesus could have easily taught these people,  but he didn&#039;t.</description><pubDate>Tue, 6 Sep 2016 13:02:01 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1029596594</guid></item><item>
<title>Ilen</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1026577119</link><description>Have you ever asked yourselves why the world/millions of people are trying so hard, round the clock, to disprove Jesus Christ? It’s not a surprising but at the end they always come out with spurious things in attempt to fool the world.&lt;br /&gt;Hear one of the questions of the link: &lt;br /&gt;“If Jesus was God, why didn’t he say anything new or even marginally useful?”&lt;br /&gt;And what are those ‘new or marginally USEFUL’ thing?: “…bacteria, pasteurization, dental hygiene, the sun, the composition of the atmosphere, clouds, or sooth people’s fears of the terrifying blights of lightning and thunder. He didn’t explain to his friends the moon (and the tides), the stars, the planets, our position in the solar system, the galaxy, the nature of gravity, light, radiation, or on a more practical note, dispense the formula for sun block ...”&lt;br /&gt;Seriously? He didn’t talk another mineral water either. He did talk about coke, Fanta, Lamborghinis, Porsche cars, fighter jet, electric train. He didn’t mention things like Rambo, Fast and Fury, Arnold Schwarzenegger, et al. He didn’t even tell us about black American President. &lt;br /&gt;How much of ridicule can we turn ourselves to just in attempt to discredit/disprove Jesus Christ? &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ did not come for the flesh of man or for mundane things. He came for the spirit and soul of mankind. He came to redirect man back to his maker. He was 101% focused to that effect. It’s like asking Usain Bolt or Warren Buffet why they don’t go about talking of the technicality making atomic bomb. &lt;br /&gt;What are the benefits of disproving Jesus Christ to humanity? How many of these references, fake or real, before Jesus Christ came to earth speak about the spirit and soul of man, and life after death? &lt;br /&gt;Do not forget that that Jesus Christ said people like these (working acidulously against Jesus Christ and Salvation) surely come. &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ came to reconcile men back to God. Though it’s meant for all mankind, it was also stated by Jesus Christ that not all men will be saved. &lt;br /&gt;Suffice to say those working hard to disprove God are working for Satan, and every man that believe their works and are spreading such are also acting Satanic agents</description><pubDate>Sun, 24 Jul 2016 13:31:49 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1026577119</guid></item><item>

<title>Brian Foster</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1025857268</link><description>Fortunately he didn&#039;t solicit input for what you or I might subjectively think is important or new.  What was apparently important for God to communicate should be inherently important for mankind to know, everything else is secondary.  Whether man receives it or not is up to each individual.  Here are several unique (new) things Jesus Christ, the Son of God, brought to mankind:&lt;br /&gt;1.  Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Mosaic law - something no mere human has ever been able to do.  Man&#039;s continuous failure to obey God&#039;s law perfectly constituted a continuous separation from God due to that failure.  Offenses (sins) against God will never be simply brushed aside.  They must be atoned (paid) for to satisfy God&#039;s justice - which requires nothing less than perfect obedience.  But due to man&#039;s continuous sinful nature, man is not able to atone for his own sins in God&#039;s sight since he is perpetually guilty before God.  The atonement for sins was accomplished intermediately through the old testament sacrificial system, which, through numerous prophecies, pointed to the eventual arrival of the perfect (sinless) Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who would be the perfect blameless sacrifice to atone for the sins of the world.&lt;br /&gt;2.  Consistent with the above, man does not &quot;become&quot; condemned before God due to sin, man starts out condemned.  Consequently, man is unable to save himself, in spite of the claims to the contrary by all man made religions who offer various activities and/or recipes to earn favor with God.  Simply &quot;being good&quot; is insufficient to earn God&#039;s favor.    &lt;br /&gt;3.  Consistent with the above, Jesus made it clear that there is no other way to God:  &quot;I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;4. Jesus claimed to be divine , which he said was made evident by what he taught, the miracles he performed and through his resurrection from the dead, which he said he would happen: The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life — only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.&quot;   John 10:17-18.&lt;br /&gt;5. Because a right relationship with God can&#039;t be earned, the only way for it to be achieved is to accept God&#039;s provision for attaining it, which is by placing one&#039;s faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone.  Why did God do this?  &quot;For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God&#039;s one and only Son. John 3:16-18&lt;br /&gt;6. The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Cor 1:18)  With respect to the secondary things of life, &quot;What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?  Mark 8:36-37</description><pubDate>Wed, 13 Jul 2016 05:39:04 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1025857268</guid></item><item>

<title>Geoyce Chatman</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1025794960</link><description>Jesus may have talked about some or all of these things which may have not been understood or considered relevant by those who edited what we know about him and his life. In the lost books of the Bible he talked about reincarnation and not eating animal flesh, promoting a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. He studied Buddhism and Hinduism in the East during the &quot;lost years&quot; and much of what is attributed to him reflects those teachings.</description><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jul 2016 05:11:03 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1025794960</guid></item><item>
<title>Guest</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1025803044</link><description>Maybe Jesus did mention some or all of these things and no one understood it and therefore didn&#039;t talk about it. In one of the Lost Books of the Bible Jesup recommends that people only eat vegetables and do not eat any meat. He also talked about reincarnation. There are many things missing from the approved &quot;bible&quot; which has changed with each translation.  For example, Jesus studied Buddhism and Hinduism during the years he was not in Africa,  not the Middle East. Much of what he taught was from Eastern religions.</description><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jul 2016 05:04:38 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1025803044</guid></item><item>

<title>Victoria</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1020215952</link><description>MAN is fundamentally SPIRIT, made in the image of God. Jesus said GOD IS A SPIRIT AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM DO SO IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH. The New Birth He spoke about is not physical but spiritual (beyond and way bigger than the realm of scientific evidence), and determines the most important part of our present being and eternal future?

<title>jj</title><link>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1020163288</link><description>Maybe because Jesus never existed? Was never recorded in the records of the time? Because there was never a word written by a Holy being? Just a bunch of pieces stolen from earlier religions. And none of the writers cared about humanity - they wanted the money and power that went with it. And damn - this time it worked! &lt;br /&gt;And these weren&#039;t educated people. They likely knew little about science.</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 Apr 2016 20:05:29 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/christianitys-nightmare-question/#IDComment1020163288</guid></item><item>
