re: Amazon Prime new cartoon retells the creation story

WRONG. Are you familiar with the Biblical account of Lazarus and the Rich Man? And their respective destination upon death? (This is NOT an "allegory".)

---

It’s very frustrating knowing you aren’t rejecting my argument due to your own mental gymnastics but rather you aren’t even reading and understanding what I’m writing in the first place.

Why tell me I’m wrong and bring up Lazarus from the gospel of Luke? I was talking specifically about Genesis and more broadly about the Torah. You even quoted what I originally wrote but you didn’t bother to read it. See below - I bolded the part that should have caught your eye to reinforce that I wasn’t talking about the New Testament.

quote:

---

When one gave up their spirit, they were physically dead. From dust Adam was made and to dust he shall return. There was no afterlife. Death was death. You may not like that very much and it isn’t consistent with the New Testament.

---

Look, it is a fact that ancient Jews at the time genesis and the Torah was written didn’t believe in an afterlife. That changed after the influence of Zoroastrianism and Greek paganism over hundreds of years so that by the time of Christ, some (but not all) Jewish sects believed in an afterlife. At that time the Saducees didn’t believe in an afterlife, but the Pharisees I believe did definitely the Essenes of the messianic cults like the Dead Sea Scrolls community and the Jesus movement.

Ancient Jews don’t believe in afterlife

quote:

---

Most of the scholarly world agrees that there is no concept of immortality of life after death in the Old Testament.

---

quote:

---

Even many Jewish thinkers deny an afterlife. For instance in a 1991 interview, Jewish professor Yeshayahu Leibowitz said, Death has no significance… only life matters… In the entire Torah there is not the slightest suggestion that anything happens after death. All the ideas and theories articulated on the subject of a world to come and the resurrection of the dead have no relationship to religious faith. It is sheer folklore. After you die, you simply do not exist.

Wiki link references scholarly book on subject

Greek and Persian culture influenced Jewish sects to believe in an afterlife between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE as well.

As I've stated earlier up-thread, there's a reason for this inability to understand: The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit

---

So the supreme being, all powerful creator of the universe inspires a book with so many factually inaccurate statements and contradictions that one must be filled by the power of the Holy Spirit to understand the text? You have to be duped or brainwashed into already believing the material… to understand what it says. Sounds about right actually but that is sad.

Noah's flood? 10th plague of Egypt? The 3 or 4 different instances he commanded the Hebrews to commit genocide? What do you think happened to Job's children? Do you think there were any children in the cities Sodom or Gomorrah?

---

“God” also delighted in and accepted the sacrifices of the 7 sons of king Saul and Jepthah’s daughter.

quote:

---

As to "killing children," yes He has. Are you aware of the reasons?

---

Killing innocent children is evil. No surprise Yahweh admits that it is he who creates evil (Isaiah 45:7, KJV).

He could have saved those children. He could have made himself known and converted the parents of the children to Yahwism. He chose to kill them anyway. After all those plagues of Egypt, the Egyptians (especially the pursuing army) were aware that Yahweh was the most powerful and true god. At that point Yahweh could have converted them and accepted their worship. Nah, he chose to kill them. For a narcissistic and selfish reason, that he describes if you read the Bible:

Exodus 14:18

quote:

---

And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

---

Yahweh didn’t care about the Egyptians or their innocent babies. He wasn’t their god, after all. He wasn’t interested in converting them. He enjoyed killing them. Why? So the Egyptians would know that “I am Yahweh”.

All you've been doing here is quoting your own Gnostic sources, twisting of Scripture and lies -- and attributing them either to God Himself (you call Him a "Liar" AND Murderer.) OR attribute your quotes to ME.


You're not worth any intelligent or honest exchange; Your ONLY goal here (or on ANY other Bible-thread) is to inject the Lies of The Serpent in order to cast doubt upon the Lord's Word.

There is no truth in you. You cannot understand nor discern Biblical Truth, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or especially -- its context. The Lord has blinded you to ALL of it.

You know nothing about Life or Death; in this World or the Next.

The idea that Satan is the good guy is not a new idea. I think this is one of the things Masons secretly teach.

---

Yup.

The upper echelon worship the Sun-Lucifer.

Freemason 33s+ and Illuminati etal actually believe they are the special "Illuminated"; the inversion of the Bible story of this blasphemous cartoon reflects their cults.

This is from the same poster that didn't know his god killed children despite such things being present in some of the Bibles most popular stories.

Let me be honest; I think your lost, deceived, and...ignorant to the nth degree. You've got problems I can only imagine. I hope you get them worked out -- seriously.

Let me be honest

You worship a child killer. What in the world makes you think I value your judgement?

quote:

---

None of that touched the point I made.

---

You read past ALL of what points I made. You're lazy because you don't want to try extend the effort to try to understand.

quote:

---

If children who die before a certain age go to Heaven, then that's creating a class of people who don't have to be saved to get into Heaven.

Imagine a class where 90% of students fail. You're one of those students, and have a 1/10 chance of passing. But the guy next to you gets a free A and passes. Why?

---

Explained up-thread.

WE ARE ALL SINNERS. None of us deserves to be Saved (in in your example, "PASS" the test.)

As to "Why?" -- Have you read the Gospel?

If you don't understand the doctrine of Sin and Redemption and the reasons for Jesus Christ's blood sacrifice, the whole world makes no sense.

By the way, you seem to believe YOU know the mind of God Almighty than HE know it.

How in your finite mind can you possibly believe you (or the phony Luciferian-Squirrel) know the Ways, Purposed and Reasons of Almighty God?

Satan, who is the god of this world...

II Cor 4.4

People seem to forget Satan isnt ugly, hes very attractive and is God of all superficial and material things.

+100

Satan is a lame Counterfeiter of God's Glory and Father of Lies (as witnessed on this thread.)
