I'm still not convinced of viruses existing and causing pathology. There's the isolation problem on one hand and the many Spanish flu experiments that could not demonstrate transmission from a sick patient to a healthy previously unexposed subject back in 1918: https://www.scribd.com/document/465804177/EXPERIMENTS-TO-DETERMINE-MODE-OF-SPREAD-OF-INFLUENZA-ExposeBillGates-COVID1984-PLANdemic

That's because the set up of them leaving the guys number in public space was intentional to catch a regular person and the media and legal system makes an example of t of a real person to scare everyone into being compliant

Is this what you red into the story? Not that a 12 year old girl was gang raped by a bunch of subhuman illegals who walked free? This is the worst part. The second one is adding insult to injury and they don't need a gang rape to scare people into compliance. They've been doing that on a daily basis since the coof if not before that.

If Germans had any balls left, there would be massive lynches right now. Sadly, the jews have castrated the men there.

So a gay guy who married a dude and paid a woman to give birth to their children plays a "conservative" in a cartoon show dunking on the progressive libs and their agenda? Makes total sense.

Not funny too. It's the cringe establishment Ben Shapiro right, which is in fact the same as the left except they want a small government.

I'll call your conspiracy and raise "cultures that wipe ass with bare hands". There's an intersection there and you get the implications.

Found the pedo rape apologist. They did rape her and didn't go to prison. People who live in Hamburg have confirmed it.

First men, then animals, then God/Jesus, then doves, now tithes and 'the eucharist'.

Early Christians did that? Where do you get that from? It was the eucharist all the way till today. Tithe is nothing to do with sacrifice - it's a duty for every Christian to be charitable and help the Church but no one is forced to give back.

Mistaking man's constantly changing interpretation for God's WORD (truth) is what leads to error.

Again, it's not constantly changing. If it were the case, what makes your interpretation not subject to said constant change? Suppose your interpretation is correct, how do we know it will still be valid tomorrow? This leads to epistemological nihilism - the inability to have knowledge of the thing in question at all.

You probably don't realize how each book of the old testament is testament to the failure of the time's religion to come to ultimate truth and so was doomed to CHANGE.

Truths can't be disproven. And only Truth is eternally unchangeable.

This is your gnostic interpretation of the text which you base on your gnostic worldview and its ruling presuppositions. The Christian interpretation shows perfect continuity in both the OT and the NT. What is the "ultimate truth" in your worldview, do we have access to it and if so, how? Where do you get the standard for truth?

Dude, Christ is God. He is the second person of the Trinity and He shares the same will as God the Father.

I've read that book many times over, gaining deeper understanding each time. Now read the one I sent the link to. I predict you won't. That would be a lot simpler.

I'm sure you have the correct interpretation and you're getting deep into that hidden knowledge and meaning only the initiated can achieve, my gnostic friend. But that's not Christianity, you're doing your own thing based on the Bible and the Christian concepts. The fullness of the faith is the historic Church, which is the body of Christ - it includes the Bible, tradition, the apostles, the saints, the believers, the canons etc. and Christ is the sole head of that body. There is a very strict hierarchy. Christianity is not an esoteric occult religion - it is open to anyone who accepts Christ as their savior and seeks unity with God.

There is very little 'level of continuity' in the bible when read literally and refusing to SEE the continuity

Who told you it's supposed to be red what you call "literally"? The Bible is a liturgical text and it's part of a tradition that instructs how it's to be interpreted. It doesn't interpret itself, neither it can be interpreted correctly outside of that tradition.

There is no 'true UNCHANGED Church tradition except for the common source of all religion.

There is in the face of the Orthodox Christian Church. What is the common source of all religion, how do you have knowledge of it and what is religion for that matter? How do you classify a certain set of beliefs and traditions as religion and what's the common ground between such contradictory worldviews (like Hinduism and Christianity for example)?

Are you up to the challenge?

I've red a lot of gnostic texts doing free interpretation of scripture. Even if I'm willing to suspend my belief and be open about it, what would convince me this take is the correct one?

Such comparative religion arguments go like this: Christian theology has a lot of similarities with ancient Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Babylonian theology therefore it is connected, influenced and borrows from those. This is called a genetic fallacy - assuming things that appear to be related to be related based on the superficial similarity. The truth is people who interpret Christianity like this don't do an internal critique because they either are not well versed in the Christian theology or because it serves them better to take things out of the proper context distorting the actual belief system and cherry pick the superficial similarities to other religions.

The ritual fails to convey the actual message, that's why it was stopped.

It was never stopped. It continues to be practiced practically unchanged for 2000 years.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Using Christ's words to contradict His Church's practices, which He personally instantiated and later sent the Holy Spirit to guide the Church and the apostles is ignorant.

Wrong, that's what the jews do.

Christ (God) offered Himself as a sacrifice and instantiated the eucharist where material things (wine and bread) are transubstantiated into His body and blood via the Holy Spirit. The living God is being sacrificed every Sunday.

All sacrifices are offerings to some god or other, so to whom did god offer up his son as a sacrifice?

That's a premise. In Christianity, sacrifice acquires another meaning. The Son sacrifices Himself as flesh (yet He's God), and thus transforms our understanding of sacrifice - it's no longer understood strictly as sacrifice of flesh on the altar to God. As everything in the NT - the old is incorporated and made anew without contradicting the OT. God of the NT and OT is the same but the context is different.

Christ doesn't sacrifices Himself to alleviate God the Father's anger caused by Adam disobeying Him (although such a belief in penal substitution is widely held by protestants). This is impossible because all persons of the Trinity share the same will and essence. The Son incarnates, becomes man and defeats death, so that man can gain eternal life and become like God (theosis).

If I sacrifice myself for the well-being of my loved ones, do I offer myself to a god?

Basically Book of Revelation. Only after the destruction, the Antichrist's tyrannical rule will be cut short by Christ's second coming.

God sacrificed His Son, the second Adam, to atone for our sins resulting from the fall of man. Man brought the fall through his own free volition but it was God who became man, who died willingly and defeated death for all mankind.

One can't understand the NT without the OT. It's a reference to Genesis where Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son. Moreover, practice of sacrificing to clean oneself from sin is described in Leviticus. Jesus' death (the death of His human nature only) is the ultimate sacrifice and the end of that practice and just like Isaac wasn't killed, He died but got resurrected. Christ is the fulfillment of all prophesies and He's the final testament between God and man - the promise for man's salvation from death and eternal life in God.

No book has the level of continuity the Bible has, even if it weren't the word of God, it would still be an unmatched literary masterpiece. But as with all written word it needs the correct interpretation which is only possible within the true unchanged early Church tradition.

That's what happens when you loose the war and get cucked to eternity by the jews.
