Fiancé and I have been together 5 years, engaged after one month. She feels like she's not "good enough and all I deserve yet" to be married to me. We haven't had sex just BJ's and the like, but she feels extremely guilty and sad depressed after which leads to more not getting married. She loves God, not sure how to proceed without feeling like a cuck.

Any advice?

You guys should pray together are seek scripture relating to your troubles. Also you would need to know if she really feels like this is the reason and no other agenda. The "your to good for me" thing usually turns out she did something she can't really live with and if not at the least she may be hiding something. you need to figure out what the problem really is and put your pride away and fix it if you love her. If your afraid of being a "cuck" then you will most likely loose her because pride will turn you away from doing what you feel is right and will make you worry what people will think.

Evolution is flasifiable, in that it can be disproved. The proposition that God exist is untestable. The difference between the former and the latter is that the former has yet to be disproved, while no one can provide objective evidence of a creator. Thus, since the latter is untestable, it's not worth anyone's time.
>>
>>74385119
Even the state of the art of science is nothing but peer review on what we think sounds most correct given the evidence and the arguments.

Actually it is true, although it's not really centuries after. And you're the one who should do basic research instead of burying your head in the sand and refusing the confront the factual challenges to your faith.

The main issue is that Christianity is based on the tale of Christ, captured in the gospels of his disciples and followers, compiled as The New Testament +some faggot's fanfic, Revelations.

Unfortunately, the New Testament was not written contemporaneously with the events, or even BY the people they claim to be. Some of the gospels include glaring flaws, such as geographical errors, that couldn't have been made by someone who was actually recounting what happened.

Even the most generous and desperate of biblical scholars can't place a single Gospel before AD 50, and the majority of scholars place the earliest at AD 70, with the others in 80-90s region.

Jesus died (assuming he ever existed, which is not substantiated by any historical document) between AD 30-36. Let's call it 35 so math is easy.

So essentially, the stories you put so much faith in were written at least 15 years after his death, and probably actually more like 30 years later. Only some of them show the level of accuracy (such as John) that would indicate that it was written by someone who knew what he was talking about instead of just repeating shit he heard, but all agree John was written LAST and between AD 80-90, which would put his grizzled arse at about 110-120 years old.

This is a real issue that bibical scholars struggle with to this day, so don't just handwave it.

God in His wisdom warned us in advance of the moon cult of death.

Galatians 1: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Politics and religion are fiercely intertwined. The rabbis couldn't murder Jesus so they had to force the Romans into doing it for them.

>Which ones where?

As far as I know, all of them. However I am Catholic and can easily see the differences between vengeful, fear-inducing Yahweh and loving, forgiving God.

I don't see the books as perfect representations of events (they are really old and translated through ~3 different languages) but at the very least the messages are good.

>What basis then would Christ's teachings have?

>Jews of the time preach fearing God

>Jesus preaches mostly about love, acceptance, charity, absolving oneself of sin

That. If you would read the Bible or at least research Jesus's parables then you'd get a good idea on your own, which is what I did. I left the faith during middle school and high school because edginess and in high school I found out what reddit was, but after some consideration I returned.

>The earliest available Christian texts are the letters of the apostle Paul. Scholars date his epistles from approximately 50 to 60 C.E. Therefore, many individuals think that there is at least a twenty-year gap between the death of Christ and the earliest Christian writings. However, most do not realize that the epistles of Paul contain creedal summaries of early Christian beliefs which possibly date as early as 35-40 C.E.1 The general nature of these creeds includes the death and resurrection of Christ. Some of this material is found in Acts, while some is found in the letters of Paul.2

>The Gospels were written in such a temporal and geographical proximity to the events they record that it would have been almost impossible to fabricate events....The fact that the disciples were able to proclaim the resurrection in Jerusalem in the face of their enemies a few weeks after the crucifixion shows that what they proclaimed was true, for they could never have proclaimed the resurrection (and been believed) under such circumstances had it not occurred.

I find it difficult to buy the "supernatural" elements of religion, I guess I'm agnostic.

Could heaven and hell be merely your last thoughts as a reflection on your life? If you've lived well then you will feel satisfaction for what to you at least will be the rest of eternity?

And could God be consciousness? Or sentience? The driving factors of our will power as opposed to a bloke in the sky?

I do as well. That's one of my biggest stumbling blocks.

But I try to keep an open mind. And over time I've become increasingly convinced that what we perceive of this reality is a tiny shadow on the wall. It's really a sad joke in many ways. Actually I think God is the biggest jokester of them all, and he makes really good jokes.

I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping an open mind.

None Christian here. How do you view practitioners of the other Abrahamic religions such as Jews and Muslims?

I ask this because one of the things I have noticed is that a lot of christians try so hard to be best friends with Jews when the Jews do not even believe in Jesus and his miracles. Yet despite Muslims believing in Jesus and his miracles (although they view him as a prophet), the christians hate them. I find this logic messed up.

Take a trip on an airplane if you want to see how big this world is, and how different all the different places are. I don't know who has it exactly right, but it seems to me there's plenty of room if some people don't agree with other people. You really have to ask yourself on what basis does a certain people want to wage a religious war on other people.

Maybe missionaries take a different view. But I'd be alright with it if maybe one people can have one land and another people can have another land and then not have to bother about it. Come to think of it, doesn't the Old Testament devote a lot of itself to prescribing exactly who gets what land and keeping track of bloodlines and all that?

REAL Salvation IS easy, and if one had to really and truly "make Jesus the Lord of their life," then we are ALL really and truly do THAT is a form of works-based Salvation.

In fact this was one of the most ass-blasting things a nun had ever said to me. I just sat there and wondered about how there was clearly no right answer to that. Some other kids raised their hands and said, "because it's the correct thing to believe in" more or less.

The nun said no. The nun said that you only believe that because you were taught to believe that. Maybe that was a bit of vatican II nonsense, but it was a good point. So, what do you chose to believe?

Struggling Catholic that's contemplating other options here.

I believe in Christ and the bible. However, the Catholic church just seems to shift goalposts when it comes to "tradition". Tradition requires that it be believed in the first place so faith truly trumps all.

It seems much of what the Catholic church is historically known for being against isn't really found explicitly in the bible. Ie married priests, the papacy, sex for purposes other than procreation, masturbation or even some forms of contraception. I'm not trying to pull a childish stunt of "you didn't say I could punch him so I kicked him instead". It really seems like they are grasping at straws on some of these issues. Jesus specifically says that the bible is the word of God, is sufficient and no additions or deletions be made. I understand certain realizations must be made as culture changes but how come only some of these changes transfer forward. It was totally okay to have concubines, fornicate with slaves of you were married etc. These wrongs have been identified as wrong in our modern world even though they were fine then and even condoned in the bible. How can the Catholic church have authority and legitimacy given this?

Looking for different denominational answers.
God bless.

I meant that as a personal battle, and I presume that anybody seriously questioning things would understand. Then again, I didn't write the bible so I'm probably not very good at it.

I don't know for sure. It's just something that stuck with me, so maybe there's some truth to it. I have increasingly mixed feelings about the Catholic Church, but not yet enough to be convinced to rebuke it.

So where are we all drawing the line on the whole science thing?

Are you young earth creationists? Old earth but god created everything from scratch ie. no evolution? Old earth but god guided evolution? Old earth, non guided evolution with a god that just set everything in motion (more deist)?

>>
>>74400553
Drawing a line where the findings and claims from scientists conflict too deeply with what people believe to be the word of god or their own personal interpretation of it. Saying "science" as a whole may have been a bit too broad considering the biggest hangup people have is with respect to evolution but im curious to read people's ideas about it.

I don't know, the scientific method seems pretty clearly spelled out to me. It's only something that predates the birth of Christ.

Evolution is a particularly relevant and interesting subject to investigate. THH Huxley did some amazing work, but maybe being Darwin's "bulldog" was going a little bit too far. Can't blame the guy for trying to push the envelope though. I would encourage everybody who cares one way or the other to get involved in the development of further human understanding, whether that comes from a scientific perspective or studying something else.

Okay sure. Its better if you just watched a video though.

Every biologist has observed that every generation that passes, genetic information is lost. Think about that for a moment. Its lost. We have so far found no new information being added and in fact see that in example human generations, around 100 deletions or mutations that are damaging are introduced.

As for dinosaurs we have found many footprints of men and woman along side dinosaurs and even bones and tools of humans. The fossil record is increasingly problematic for evolutionist and they admit this regularly and look to biologist for the answer and vice versa.

An Australian because I know you /pols love them.

Christ is the sacrificial lamb which all Law in the Torah is fulfilled and all our trespasses against them are washed away. He also adopts us into the Kingdom of God while we live on earth and delivers us from spiritual evil.

If do not have Christ, we do not have the Father Yehovah, but if we have Yeshua Christ we also have his Father.

There were no people alongside dinosaurs.
And even if Jesus did start a relision out of delusion, id say hes been quite successful.

Michaelangelo painted to the roman church to tell them to accept jews for who they were.

If Jesus was also Jewish by ethnicity and the Roman-Jewish wars didnt tell us anything, id say we are getting along with everyone quite well dont you?

Bold statement. Perhaps you should try to dissuade the geologist finding them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_5o4WGPzqE

There are many other testimonies here which say otherwise and if you watch the videos in my previous post you might reconsider.

Jesus Christ is Jewish and he had to be. He had to fulfill the Law of the Torah as a kinsman perfectly and die for all our sins against His Fathers Law.

Jesus Christs lineage is said by the Apostles to go all the way back to Genesis and Jesus Christ spoke of Genesis as History and science bears this out.

If you're unwilling to investigate, you can say whatever you want but we have found dinosaur footprints next to human footprints. I think at this point you're just refusing the spend the time and effort to test a theory contrary to the one in your mind.

You are already cut off from your tribe.

Talmudic means Oral Law or Traditions of the Rabbis. Set down over Moses Law. Its heresy and even the Torah says its heresy.

At least you don't have any bad habits. The Torah is the only Law any Jew should follow.

However... considering you haven't followed it. It says you're cut off.

Now go find a single star ever being recorded as being born as well. Or explain why we have fully formed galaxies at the furthest reaches of space.

For your information the Bible mentions the stretching our or the expansion of the heavens which include the luminaries or the stars 11 times.

Try Creationwiki and Creation.com honestly. I don't want to start an argument here.

That's factually incorrect. Making shit up on the spot isn't how you win an argument.
>>
>>74407476
I used to. I grew up in a atheist household. Surrounded by atheist all my life. Never knew a Christian who would be my friend because I was an antagonistic asshole and I had suspicions just reading what evolutionist wrote themselves on the subject that something wasn't adding up. No new information into the genetic system, only loss. Implying creation. The dating system doesn't work as I had hoped and in fact doesn't seem to work at all. The fossil record doesn't show anything like a evolutionary model but a great flood model fits.

Now its obvious to me. The great flood stories of the world even in Australia point to the Genesis account, which was given to Moses by God.

Its just a lot that piled up on me and I had no choice but accept that God is real and so is Christ Jesus. I didn't want to.

>>74407561
100,000 Years is the absolute maximum. Happy?
