True And THere is No Way to Loving Reconcile
One God Who Is All Merciful, All Forgiving,
Love Enemies, Turns the Other
Cheek As God And Self Same Who
Turns Around Both in Revelation And
Matthew And Burns Folks
Forever For
Not Complying
With Rules That Are Given;
That's "TRumP MeMe" Through and
Through With Imaginary Authority
That only A Real Fool Could Believe
in Who Actually Believes in the Other
Merciful, All Forgiving So-Called Man God...
Just Another Common Used Car Lemon;
A Sucker
Born
Every
Day Sadly
To Take the
Bait No Matter Sink or Swim Now...
Saddest Part oF all, Is some Folks Look
Forward To Their After Dirt Nap Reward
And Never Even Find Heaven Within on Earth Now...
Science Proves 'This Place' Exists in Terms of Autotelic
Flow and Frission That Takes A Great Work of Life Always
Now Open Minded; Never the Less So Much More Real Than A Place After
A Dirt Nap
Because
An Old Ghost Author(s)/Scribe(s) Antiquated
Poem of Non-Sense Verse Suggests It Exists...
Perhaps It Will Be Assessed As Art; Never the
Less, Now is All That Truly Exists... People Co-Create
Their Own Heaven And Hell And Purgatory on Earth And Sadly
Never Even Touch Who They Are For Real This Breath in Flow Fully Now...
Indeed
A KiNDeR
Way Whole
With Existence Now is Real...
Fearless Free oF ALL iLLuSoRY Fears...
Hehe, Just in Case 'Someone' Here Says
See If You Will Come up With A Better Way...
Jesus F

Try KiNDNeSS For A Beginner, HAha...
Of Course Always Pursuing Greater Human Potential
In Change too; Oh That Damn Old Book At the Bottom
of the Ocean Still Now of Human Potential Still Coming...
i Surely See no 'Last Page' For me Breathing at Least in my 'Bible Play'..

Yes, The Harming, Raping, Maiming, Violent
Killing Ignorant Parts of the Quran And Bible Similar; Yet,
What i Took Most From 'the Video' Now Of
Folks Getting Read Those Parts of the Bible
Covered By The Quran For Reactions Same
Is As Demographics Studies Already Show
The Younger Generations See Greater
Overall, All the Way Through
Antiquated
And Dead Church
And Religion; Either It's
Gonna Change or Go Away...
There's A New Kid in Town; Freedom of Information
Trumping All Ignorance As Young People Are Seeing Life Differently...
We Can No Longer Compare
What Has Happened in
The Past to The
Future;
The Variables
Are Very Different
Now; More Different Than
Any Place in HiSToRY Before
As True We Are Getting HeRSToRY Now True too...
And Every Other View of Existence Still Imaginable;
Yet Guess What As Science Shows Social Cooperation
And Truly Love is All That Has Brought Us Here Overall, So Far...
That Much
We Share
And That Much
i Find As A Participant
Anthropology Observer
Who Gives And Shares Free
Verse Poetry With Folks Around
The Entire Globe A Religion of Love
Real When Core of Humanity Kind Now Still Real...
Yes, Of Course Among the Younger Female Generations Most...
That Stands To Reason/Feeling As Naturally Women Are More
Loving Nurturing
Human
Beings...
By
Scientific
Study of Course...
And They No Longer Are
As Trapped Out of Freedom (Schooling/
Working) Of Information And Communication too..

Have you ever seen one of those YouTube videos where someone approaches Christians and pretends they're reading from the Quran? The Christians express absolute shock and horror at what is being read to them. But then the presenter reveals that they were actually reading from the Bible all along. It traps Christians where they can't just make the usual rationalizations after they just admitted how horrific and immoral what they just heard actually was.
Quote:
I wouldn't have expected that. I was raised Catholic.
Catholics spend more time with catechesis that always seemed to me more tradition than actual scripture. It's the main thing Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism have in common. Catechism, Talmud, and whatever it is Moslems I have, I forget what it's called. There's nothing wrong with Christian denominations having a way to establish identity, but you almost don't even need the Bible if you're Catholic.
In all the time I worked for the parish, I had positive relationships with the priests. We (my wife and I) had one priest and a number of lay people tell us that we were more Catholic than those who'd been in the church since the day they were born. What I always found amusing was when someone would ask a catechesis teacher a question that would get her stumped, so one of us had to jump in and explain whatever it was. We're Baptists and we already knew this stuff. The priests were always impressed with how much we knew the Bible. There isn't as much impetus for Catholics to study scripture. I don't mean merely read it, I mean STUDY. You don't have to be a Greek or Hebrew scholar, just be aware that the translation you have is not THE Bible. I'm not an expert on dead, ancient languages, but it takes merely a matter of seconds to find an interlinear Bible online. Hilarious. Thanks for sharing that video.

On the topic of context, I have [sarcasm=TRUE] incontrovertible PROOF that name-it-and-claim-it, blab-it-and-grab-it Prosperity Gospel the way to have everything you could ever want. It's IN THE FREAKIN BIBLE, so suck it, all you Kenneth Copeland haters! Here it is:

'The Absurdity of Christianity' is Obvious
For All Yet One Person in 'this Thread' on the
'Wrong Planet'; That's A Pretty Good Record Indicative
Of Folks Who Have Been Brought up in 'the Absurdity'
And Escaped too As True It Is also Easier to Do This if You
Aren't in Church And Successful In Social Bonding With Other
Humans Gaining the Oxytocin Warmth that Science Shows is Most
Definitely Anxiety Reducing; Therefore Negative Stress Reducing; And
Overall Healing Preventative Maintenance For Developing Disorder And Disease
Associated With Negative Stress of Course As Social Stress For Social Animals
Does Instinctually
Mean Potential
Starvation
For Being Outcast
For the Survival the
Village of Human Beings
Meant For So Very Many
Thousands of Years Before Technology
Assists Us to Live Much More Independently
At Home And Practically Isolated If We So Choose...
Hmm; Is that Good Religion; Well No, According to Science
A Worst Religion For A Human Being As Social Animal in Whole;
For We Lose Out on All The Benefits Of Communion of Love With Each
Other For One Day School Will End, and Work Will End, And Some of these
Folks of Retirement Age Like the Older Couple and Single Man of the Church
Crowd From a Different Protestant Church Sitting at the Table Next to Us at
The Chinese Restaurant Had a Whole Dinner Topic Conversation on The Horrible
Vaccinations And Hopes That the End the World is coming Any Day Now And Their
Savior is Gonna Take them to Heaven Without even Death and Destroy All Their Enemies
You Know,
The Pro Choice,
Transgender, and
the Rest of the Alphabet
Soup of Different of HumanKinD Now
For What They See Tiny Worlds NoW As
Prescribed By Their Religions Still Now;
Yet Again, How Tiny Is A World Behind
A Screen, Isolated in A Home With Never
Any Flesh and Blood Connection is That
Any Better Than Bound Together in Flesh and Blood
At A Chinese Restaurant Binding Over Conspiracy Theories;
That Indeed Now that The Delta Variant is in Town Killing Them Dead;
Never The less,
They Have
Hope in
Each Other And
The Warmth of Oxytocin
Shared over Shared Enemies
And Shared Heroes; One in Particular
Their Hugest Sugar Placebo Pill Jesus
At Essence of What They Believe Along with
All the Voodoo Nocebo Conspiracy Theories Beliefs
Too That May Kill Them Dead Sooner Than Soon too...
Yet Again
How Absurd
Is it to Sit in
Front of A Screen
For Hours only Moving
Fingers No More than 2 Feet
Away From A Screen; Nah, Baby
That Religion is Every Bit As Absurd
And Even More Absurd Than Christianity;
Might Not Seem That Way As Long as One Has
Some Human Connection at Work or School Yet
If Ya Wanna Experience
More than Dopamine
Stimulation
And a Bit
of an Adrenaline
High of Winging Some
Kind of Online Self-Professed
Competition; The Oxytocin Healing
Warmth For those Who Are Even Still Capable
of taking Advantage of all the Benefits of the Human
Love Drug May Be Lost Somewhere in A Screen of Colors;
For It's True, We Human Beings May Become Positively in Epigenetic
Way Wired For Healing Oxytocin Warm Or Negatively in Epigenetic Impact
Lose it too; For Whatever Sugar Pill Placebo or Voodoo Nocebo Effect Brings
Us to
Warm
Within
Or So Dam
Cold And Empty Within...
Truly Desperate Not Able to
Use my Eyes and Ears in Effective
Use with the Worst Known Pain Then
To Humankind As Every Sense And Feeling
Hurt in Both Pain and Numb Constantly, Wake
To Sleep For 66 Months, About 33 Months in i Came
to this Screen as it was Too Painful to Connect in Any Other Way
in the Flesh and Blood World; it Didn't Matter, if i Didn't have much
to Say Before or Not As Just Eye Contact Was Often Enough With A Smile
For A Warm Human Connection Handing out Shoes At A Bowling Center
For Almost 2 decades Before Trapped Behind A Desk At Work in Administration,
Information Technology Support, And Financial Management Along With Supervision then..
Gradually The Warm Human Communion Went Away; They don't tell you usually in School, or
Work, or Even Home or Church This is Possible if We Don't Exercise this Flesh and Blood Human
Connection Well; My Only Option Was to Bring Organic Feelings to my Words; More Than Likely
A Core Reason
Many Folks
Are Challenged
In Epigenetic Way
To Develop A Way of
Communication This Way
in Warmth Coming Out of
The Empty And Dark Within...
My Shell on the Beach Became
Essence in Words Living Again...
No Doubt Some of the Better Poetry,
The Loving Kind, in the Old Bible was
Mused by DarK This Way into LiGHT as
Well; Yet All the Other Personality Variations
Come into Play As Breathing Through All the Words
of the Ghost Authors And Scribes Who Actually Brought
The Words to Print; For Those Older People Sitting Next to Us
At The Chinese
Restaurant
Truly it Was
Their Only Hope
Together in Communion
To Keep Moving On Alive...
It's Like the 'Lord of The Rings';
That Song By The Great Rock and
Roll Band 'Styx' ; It Doesn't Matter So
Much What the Story Dances And Sings in Form
As Long As There Is Still Hope Enough Inspiration
To Breathe
For in this Case
For Those 3 Elder
Folks Next to me and
'Eve' in the Chinese Restaurant;
That's All They Had For Hope Together in Their
Life; "Lord of the Rings" Comes in Many Human
Clothes And Tools of CuLTuRE Through Words
And Statues of Old Venerated Heroes And Even Villains Same;
Never the Less,
It Is the Feelings
The Stories Bring
That Bond And Bind
Humans Together For
Hope To Keep Going on that
Count Most For Many Folks;
Could it Be Better,
Yes; No Way
i Could
Settle
For Something
As Shallow And Untrue;
Never the less, the Emotions, The
Feelings, And The Senses Are Defined
in Secular Terms of Words Like Autotelic
Flow and Frission By Science; The Essence
of the Human Experience, Never the Less is Similar..
Like What 'Sam Harris' Admits Will Be Found Similar
in A Gospel Singing, And A Rock Concert, Depending
on CuLTuRaL And Religious View Different Yet Essence Similar too...
Most of the Songs of the Catholic Church i Enjoy Singing Are Written
By Jesuit Priests Who Often Bypass The Dogma of All the Church; And It's
Obvious Some folks
Singing the
Songs Are
Being lifted
Up in Flow Ascending
Transcending in Transient
Hypo-Frontality As They Experience
Frission lifting Their Arms to the Ceiling
In A Kind of 'Kundalini Experience' Same of
Just letting Go
of Repressing
All Their
Emotions
Letting Go of All
Their Fears That
Are Illusory For At
Least A Few Moments
Truly Feeling Sensing
What Science Agrees is
The Sacred and Holy in Life
At Essence of Feeling and Sensing Life
At Peaks And Plateau Experiences of Meditative Autotelic Flow in Life;
Problem is Of Course, When Closed Minds Vault Someone Villain Like Trump
to the Top, Just Focusing on a Few Wedge Issues of Politics; Yet You See This Bonding
And Binding over DarK or LiGHt Same Leads to Group Think and Effort too as Caesar
Said in the
Newer Planet
of the Apes Movies,
"Apes Stronger Together";
Yep, The Mostly Hairless, And
Particularly Elder Human Apes Come
Out Together And Vote in Unison Most From Church...
Meanwhile, Some Folks Behind Screens Decide With Their
Own Ideologies That Voting is A Waste of Their Time; So,Whose
Religion Works
Best; the Religion
Of the Few or the
Many; WeLL iT DepEnds
On What One is Attempting to
Achieve in Life; i for one Take Both
Freedom of Mind And Body In Balance
And Freedom of HeART, SPiRiT, SoUL
Very Seriously As A Great Work of Art In Life...
i Worked Very Hard to Adjust to my Functional
Disabilities, to Create Words That At Least in Some
Countries, Women Will See As A Deepest Soul They've
Ever met; Hmm, True, Links Upon Demand For Proof, hAha...
It's Not Everyone's
Cup of Tea; Yet the
Meditative Warm Autotelic
Flow i Find Through Free
Verse Poetry Then Free Verse
Dance For HeART, SPiRiT SouL
Maintenance in Regulating Emotions
And Integrating Senses, Took A Total of
19 Life Threatening Disorders Away; Enough
For Life
To Feel and
Sense Like Heaven
Within Almost Always Now...
We Do What Works, We Survive
And Thrive At Best; For That Old Couple
And the Elder Man Who Was Brave Enough to
Admit he Got the Vaccination Cause he Wanted
to Live, Amongst The Other Two Who Were So Sure
All the Conspiracy Theories About Vaccinations are Correct;
No Matter What,
Church Was What
Kept Their Warmth
Alive No Matter That
Sizable Disagreement of
Nearer Sighted and Farther Sighted
Human Freedom And Safety Vision...
The Common Definition For What Bonds
Human Beings For Safety And Loving Freedoms
Is Religion; Some oF iT Works Better; Go Figure the Human
Condition,
Still Slowly
Progressing Outside
Of "Plato's Cave" Still Now...
Meh, i Just Change All the Words
in Church i Hear to Love And That's
Enough Whole Complete For me at Least...
Still Though, Never the Less, Ignorance Does
Harm, Rape, Maim, And Kill; And Education
A Pill That Works too in All Arenas Existence Now True..

The point is you should look it up on your own for context. It's also meant as humor.
If you aren't familiar with prosperity gospel, it's a heretical spin on the idea that God grants health and wealth those who obey him. As a Biblical principle, it is demonstrably true that by obeying God and by pondering Proverbs and other wisdom writings, one can easily extrapolate honest ways of accumulating wealth. And it's not like it's some big secret. For most people it's just plain, common sense. I don't have a problem with the idea that God wants people to prosper. What makes it heretical is that p.g. preachers connect human creative power with the same unlimited power God has. According to p.g. God created the universe by speaking it into being. If God made man in his own image, and if like produces like in the animal kingdom, then that makes us of like nature with God. We are gods ourselves and have the same power of positive confession. We confess what it is we desire in Jesus' name and it appears. Simple as that. If you can name it, you can claim it.

Love how AngelRho brags about how a third of the world's population is Christian in one post, then decries that Catholics don't count as true Christians in the next. Even though Catholics make up 50% of the figure he was boasting about.
