Description Edit 1/20/21 - I decided to redo the old stamp to make it stand out better. The old one was smaller and had cramped text, so hopefully this one is much easier to read. I also added some simple (and not distracting, hopefully) rectangles to add a little color. This was the stamp template I used, so credit goes to its creator:

Why Christianity?
Why Christianity?7/23/17 - Forgot a detail from before, so I'm updating this journal with it. It is under Point #4.
One question asked of me (or questions, rather), were how we can know the God of the Bible is the true God, and why any belief contrary to Christianity is false. Even suggesting such an idea today is automatically deemed "bigoted" and "arrogant," but yet, logic itself would dictate that if there is a singular truth, then anything contradicting it would have to be false. A simple example would be if I said, "1+1=2, and 1+1=3." Can both be true? Of course not. If there can only be one solution to a scenario, then you can't have another solution that's different. We will investigate in this journal the claims that the Bible makes, because it is the only book by which we may know God, and find out if the ecumenical idea that "all paths lead to heaven" holds any water. I write this, of course, with Colossians 3:12 and 14 and in mind.
"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and belo

I decided to make a stamp that's a much-shortened version of the salvation message on my page, but still has the verses you need for knowing how to become saved. This is free to use on your page if you wish, as well as any other site you're on, and there is no need to credit or ask me.

I believe in God----belief is all one has. I have accepted Jesus as His Son and has my Savior.


Even so, I do not believe we can ever know who or what God is----God is remote and ever silent.


It is belief, and hope. ...But God and death are (again) mysterious----and the latter is final and uncertain.


It's tormenting to think about.

The Bible has been revised and tailored for hundreds of years. Scholars say this really means that---in Hebrew, this has this connotation, etc...


Jesus Himself spoke in parable and myth. The Bible itself is mostly myth----stories intended to convey ambiguous or difficult truth.


A mistake or errant word/thought condemns the soul. ...The soul, also, is a strange and uncertain aspect of self.


I'm afraid of God.

Well, I don't hold the belief that the Bible has been changed, based on God's promise to preserve His words forever (in Psalm 12:6-7). I believe we can hold a perfect copy of His words in our hands and read them as originally intended. We don't need to know Greek and Hebrew to know what it really said, we can understand it in English based on the principle of preservation, and see what God is saying to us today.

Christ never spoke myths; doing so would have radically gone against what He said about Himself in John 14:6 (I am the way, the truth, and the life...). If He spoke with myths, then He isn't worth believing in as the Son of God, or as Saviour because He did not speak the truth. He did cite Scriptures as authoritative and factual throughout His ministry (I talk more about that in the journal in the description, under the third point). The Bible can be understood and trusted; in Luke 24:45, Christ opened up the understanding of the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and they were able to understand the Scriptures.

We don't have to be afraid of God, though; in fact, any who have trusted in Christ's payment on the cross for their sins, and resurrection, has peace with God (Romans 5:1 and Colossians 1:20). Even when we lack understanding (and we all do to one degree or another), we are able to rest assured that God is at peace with us, and us with Him, because of Jesus Christ. All He requires of us is to trust alone in the shed blood of Christ on the cross for our trespasses.

The Bible has changed: KJV; NIV; Neon Bible, etc. Not to mention the Gnostic texts and other writings that were removed.


You misunderstand 'myth'. Myth is 'truth'. 'Truth' and 'fact' are not synonymous----truths aren't facts, but rather tools that

intend to explain or give meaning to events, people, abstract concepts and ineffables.


Ah, but the Book of Job teaches God is God ...and will do as He pleases/as He sees fit. God is bound by nothing and owes no one,

not even the righteous, and explanation or pardon.

TheBoldMouse In reply to MartenFerret [2018-05-28 12:00:58 +0000 UTC]

Yes, God does what He pleases (Psalm 135:6), but Job lacked a lot of understanding (through no fault of his own; he just lived before scripture had been revealed). There is that famous verse of him desiring to have a book written by God so he could know what he was doing (Job 31:35). While he never did obtain such a book, that prayer has been answered, and now we can know what God is doing, in writing. It's also true He owes no one a pardon...but the fact that He offers it to us on the merits of Christ is the very essence of grace (receiving a beneficial thing when it is not deserved). Grace is what God is offering to all of us today, according to Titus 2:11. God is bound, though, not by man, or physical phenomena, but by His own words. Titus 1:2 states that He "cannot lie," for example, so if He went against what He had spoken to us, then He is a promise-breaker and a liar (and thus, Jesus Christ is not worth our belief).

(I also searched up myth, and I don't see how it can be truth in any form. At best, a myth can be used to teach a truth, but that's about it).

Doesn’t Romans 5:8 say that He died though? And doesn’t the instruction in Acts 16:31 strongly imply that Christ rose from the dead? If you have to believe on someone after they had died, then it logically follows that they must have resurrected.

I see. After I’m finished with work, I actually want to note you about that subject in detail. You actually cannot perform an unforgivable sin today. Faith in the shed blood of Christ for our sins will atone for us completely (Colossians 2:10,13-14, 1:14, Romans 3:25, 28, 4:5, and 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Featured:Β  Dreaming Dark DecemberAs the sun shines fewer hours in the day in winter, so our dreams expand in the warmth indoors, where the eternal clash between self-love and love-beyond-self continues. Our imaginations alight, moth-like (for not only butterflies come from caterpillars), exploring themes of human history, myth, science, the divine, and pure fantasy. What we dream, we also create, when it is light, and what is strange and fallen is intermixed with hope, always, for what else defines us as creatures but the persistence of hope of triumph, and where does that hope originate in the human heart but from our Creator who loves and redeems us?

TheBoldMouse In reply to bjta8045 [2016-05-27 03:00:55 +0000 UTC]

The purpose of the law, part of which you cited, is to show man that they need a Saviour.

"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." - Galatians 3:24

The law stated that if Israel observed to do all those commandments in the covenant God gave to them in Sinai, then that would be their righteousness.

"And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before theΒ LordΒ our God, as he hath commanded us." - Deuteronomy 6:25

The problem was, though, that no one was ever able to keep the law perfectly, which was why God made provisions for them in the early chapters of Leviticus via the sacrifices. Those sacrifices were a type that foreshadowed Christ's eventual sacrifice on the cross for sins. The law's ultimate purpose was to show them that they were too sinful to follow it and would need an atonement. Romans 3:19-20 tells us also what the purpose of the law was, to hold all the world guilty and show us that we need the perfect atonement for our sins.

"Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."

The purpose of that verse you attempted to quote (you only quoted part of it, and it's not from the KJV) is the same for all the rest of the Old Testament law, to show us that we need to be saved from our sin. We've all likely dishonored or cursed our parents at some point and deserved death for it, but because God is gracious and longsuffering, not willing that any should perish but that all come to repentance and be saved (2 Peter 3:9, 1 Timothy 2:4), He doesn't strike us dead and cast us into hell the moment we committed our first sin.
