Eh, not really. And you're not a Christian, are you? You were espousing a heretical belief earlier in this thread (and Revelator seemed to pay lip service to that very heretical belief too, which I found to be funny).

The spiritual realm is more real than ours. But since we can’t see or understand it, we ignore it, or try to explain it away in humanly terms.
I believe this to be 100% true and also believe this is the way satan deceives most of humanity, with doubt. Just like the original sin of creating doubting in what God said and meant about surly dying if Adam and Eve ate of the fruit on the tree of knowledge.
People who scoff at the Bible do the same thing. They sell and plant the seed of doubt that the scriptures are real of from God. And because of the lack of worldly proof (Not that there is any kind of proof they would believe) they argue that it cannot be true because it doesn't pass the worldly test.
I as a believer do not have of need worldly proof because I have Faith. And even when confronted with doubt from the world I rely on my Faith to cover me until discernment is afforded to me.

What heretical belief is that?

Have you seen how much of the younger generation is willing to side with Islam in America and throughout the world?
Exactly. It's not just the percentage of actual islamists it's the whole of the support of islam as a culture. There are a lot of people ignorantly supporting something that will eventually force them to change or kill them.

A quasi-Gnostic view about the material world. You just said that the spiritual world is "more real" than the material, which is a little odd. Roger took the next step and called the material world "phony". You're both pretty close to just calling it evil. Add in the demiurge, and you're both there.

If God is real, he doesn’t really seem to give a damn about us.
The greatest lie ever told was by the devil, that he wasn't real.

Well the spiritual world and it’s inhabitants have been around before the world was created and many of the beings that inhabit that realm have been around for eons and will be around long after the earth is gone. So in that respect, it is more real.

My friend when true persecution comes to the Christian Church again on a mass scale you will see how few there really are.

Another supposed non-believer who posts on every Christian thread anybody starts.
There’s a lot of ignorance in this world. It’s our responsibility to help educate the world and make it better. I like having lively discussions and learning myself.

Jesus was clearly referring to Daniel 7:13–14 when he said that. He was not referring to His return, but His death/resurrection and "coming into His kingdom" during His first incarnation. Even if you refuse to acknowledge that as the correct interpretation, you're simply being disingenuous (imagine that) to refuse to acknowledge it as being just as valid as the interpretation that you are biased towards.
Hey good point. That is a valid interpretation. I don’t think most Christians believe that but some do. For you to believe that, you’d have to say that we are presently in the kingdom of God. If I were Christian I would reject that premise, as folks are aborting their babies, warring for no reason, and generally being shitasses with no consequences. There’s a lot of pain and suffering in this world and I don’t think that is supposed to be a part of God’s kingdom. That’s my opinion.
quote:
Clearly he was not referring to people standing around in the present moment when he said "we who are alive."
Paul wrote his epistles when Jesus was thought to be a heavenly entity who was crucified in heaven by the rulers of this age (not Pontius Pilate). He wrote before other Christians invented the Jesus story of a man walking on earth. Paul never says “when Jesus returns”. He never talks about Jesus coming back to earth. All his writings are of the coming of the LORD.
Clearly Paul was referring to “we who are still alive” literally. When the LORD comes (the one and only time) his righteous believers will be transformed. The transformation will be from a sinful fleshly body to a body suitable for use in heaven.
His Thessalonian congregation was like hey Paul, you said we were all about to transformed into heavenly beings. What’s up man?! My buddies and family members are dying and have died and it’s been many years. Paul says not to fret, because even those who have fallen asleep (died) will too be risen and given new heavily bodies.

For someone who acts like he has an airtight case all the time, you sure do manipulate and spin.
I normally have an airtight case. If my case is something I am not confident in or don’t have evidence to back it up, I don’t make the case.
On the subject of manipulation and spin, it is most often the pious believer who makes the case that the scripture doesn’t mean what it literally or even figuratively or allegorically says. You have a lot of nerve.

Makes you wonder how much disbelief you actually have as opposed to hate.
You guys can’t fathom how someone can not believe in fairy tales and make believe. I assure you, there is no hate. How could I hate something that doesn’t exist?

I don't even think it's that. I think they will support anything that the people they despise do not support and will not support anything that the people they despise do support.
It's a very shallow position to take and there are far to many evil people ready and willing to take advantage of people blind ignorance.

Do you think school officials/teachers should lead in school prayers and such?

They have no clue what that is, only the left wing interpretations.
Like MAGA is racist, when Joe biden actually has committed far more acts of "racism" than Trump.
these kids are non thinkers. Theyre just followers.

School prayers would be a wonder thing to get back to, but atheists and agnostics will never let that happen again so officially sanctioned school prayer isn't an option.
However, if a teacher feel compelled to do so and certain students feel compelled to join than yes.
But by no means to I feel like teachers and students should be required or forces to participate. And by participate I mean physically and actively taking part, not just someone who just is just walking by and happens to hear someone praying and then makes the determination that that person praying is trying to murder them or converthem unto a cult.
