Ah, then you would have seen my responses to your examples. I feel that the examples you provided (for example) Luke 4: 29-30 and John 19:36 are poor examples of your claim. As Luke 4 doesn’t relate to the crucifixion, and John 19 is after he dies on the cross, not before hand.

I don’t have the time to go through every verse, but I would likely find similar issues with the two. My recommendation is to read the verses in their full context. As with context, the meanings or when something took place changes greatly.

(Isn’t meant to be hostile by the way, just trying to give responses. Apologies if this is taken negatively, it’s not intended).

I’m guessing you wrote this response and posted it on accident which is why when I tried to reply with the one I posted above your post (aka this reply I’m responding to) was deleted.

The reply I gave you was in response to your response to me. As in your reply, was originally a post which I tried to respond to. Anyway, I recommend reading what I said, as I went over how those verses either don’t relate/are out of context.

Replying to comment by: Just smileThe bible mentioned that jesus crucified?

I had a whole thing written to your earlier post which was deleted before I could post it. Anyway I’ll just paste what I said there and hope it helps

“ Well, I went through and checked some of these verses, and from the ones I’ve checked so far, they don’t relate to Jesus being crucified. For example,

Luke 4:29-30 (ESV) “All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.”

This doesn’t relate to him on the cross, as this is a story from him teaching at synagogue.

Another one, (you switched the verse order) John 19:36 NIV, 31

“Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[c] 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”

The full context shows that at this point, Jesus had already died on the cross. So they chose not to break his legs since it wouldn’t mean anything like with the other two. This did fulfill scripture as stated above.

I don’t really have the time to go through every verse, but it seems like the ones your mentioning either prove him dying in the cross, or don’t have any relation to the crucifixion. Essentially, context matters.

I still haven’t read the Bible so it’s been nice doing research for these types of posts. Hope this helps in anyway.”

Geez, I started this about 20-30 minutes ago. As a heads up really sorry for how long this got Manny. I divided things into chapters of shorts so just scroll around to whatever’s important if it’s too much.

Replying to comment by: MannyAnimsToday’s Christianity discussion got me thinking of my own qu

Hey Manny,

I’ll try my best to answer your question. As I stated just a bit earlier, I’m still a bit new to things. I did grow up in the church (it was like my second home), though I honestly didn’t pay much attention to it after middle school. But more recently I’ve come back to things and have been learning more and more. So I remember some things I was taught when I was little, but most things feel new to me. So essentially, I’ll try to explain the best I can, but I can’t promise that I won’t be wrong on a part/parts I say. Though I’ll link resources to help you find more knowledgeable people.

(Jump, Downward, and Zilla know far more then me. I’ll try my best with any further questions but, they’re a better bet).

Here we go.

Is it true that in Christianity, atheists and people of other religions go to hell simply because of their beliefs?

Well, it’s not necessarily their beliefs, but more so their rejection of Jesus. According to the Bible, we are saved through Jesus, so rejecting him is the 1 unforgivable sin which leads to hell. By putting your faith in Jesus, and believing in him, that leads to Heaven. Since your sins can be forgiving through him. Granted, that doesn’t mean you can go around committing crime sprees, then do a little prayer and go right to it. If you really believed in God, you would try to improve and follow him. We aren’t perfect, we’re flawed, so we won’t be sin free, but through him we can be forgiven of our sins and improve.

If God is loving, why would he banish his creations to suffer eternally simply because of their beliefs. Most people are raised to believe in a certain religion, and it isn’t necessarily their fault they believe that way. As for atheists, they could have atheists parents who raised them as an atheist…

Well, God is loving, but the reason for hell as stated before is rejecting Christ. One expression I heard I think, while simple, explains it decently well. When you go to court for a crime, the judge doesn’t look at all your good deeds and compare it to your bad ones. They judge you for your bad dead. So if you say murdered someone, they judge you on that murder. They wouldn’t say, oh well, he helps puppies on the weekends. The good deeds don’t out matter since the crime occurred. Though, you can get bailed out. Someone decided to pay for your crimes and get you out of there. And Jesus is your savior who bailed you out. He payed for your crimes and you are saved thanks to him. So by rejecting Jesus, it’s like you’re denying the bail money and staying in jail.

The expression was said better, but it’s just how I remember it, sorry about that. Anyway, God does love you, he loves everyone. He gave us a key known as Jesus. By rejecting him, your rejecting his love, leading to hell.

or they may have become one due to there being no proof whatsoever for a certain religion to be true. And there are many religions anyway, so if religion was 100% proven to be true, there are many religions all claiming to be true, why would he make it so if you choose to be a believer of one besides Christianity you are punished despite not knowing better?

Well, it comes down to one being right. When I was in middle school, I grew away from the faith since my low knowledge of it clashed with what I was learning in school, and in general. I’m a very skeptical person with things, and I need evidence to get behind something if it sounds off to me, as most people are/should be.

But I grew back in faith once I started to learn again. When I first researched, I started to see some things that actually showed up Christianity has evidence for its truth, and how things in the Bible connect to reality. Granted I don’t agree with every piece of evidence out there for certain things, that’s what leads to some denominations. But generally speaking, I’ve seen enough convincing evidence to keep my Christian, and not change religions or go atheist.

I can’t really go through everything due to time and plus there would just be too much to read, but a few things that proved it to me where,

– Jesus’ resurrection had 4 written testimonies, and 500 other stated eye wittinesses. The 4 testimonies were all written by different people at different times and match together.

– 10/12 disciples died brutal deaths for what they claimed to have seen. Not many people would die for something in such painful ways for something they can’t fully say they saw.

– Paul (from the Bible) someone who was against Christianity, and who had nothing to gain, became a Christian based on the evidence he saw

“ For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.”

— Galatians 1:13–14 NIV”

Essentially, if Jesus’ resurrection is true, the rest is. If it didn’t happen, then as stated by…[Read more]

I’m glad you consider yourself a Christian, though the Bible does warn to not be a lukewarm Christian.

“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth”. (Rev NIV)

I was the same way for years until just this year when I really started to actually do my research and grow closer to God. I still have more to improve on but I’d recommend just watching some Christian videos on YouTube. Mike Winger, Ruslan KD, and Inspiring Philosophy are my recommendations. It helped me a lot to learn about Christianity/refresh my knowledge and really grow in my faith.

Replying to comment by: Just smileSo 3 in the same time ?

Well, all 3 are God, but different beings. Not 3 different gods. 1 God, but 3 beings/persons.

Here’s a quick summary that says it better then I did earlier

Replying to comment by: Just smileI have a question : Who Christians worship ? Jesus or the ho

We worship God, which is Jesus, The Father, and The Holy Spirit. They are not the same exact person, but when you pray to God, you’re praying to all 3.

Granted some Christian’s don’t believe in a trinity, but personally I really have only seen evidence for it rather than against it.

I personally am not the best at answering these types of things, so I’d point you to @jumpsh00ps for a more coherent response.

I hope this helps, thanks for question man.
