So who really runs hell?

Cantonagod

Bruce to attempt to answer your question...

The gospel of Judas doesn't mean much unless you understand who Judas was and what he is protrayed as doing in the bible... and Christians are the most familar with this story...

I was in no way trying to exclude any groups from this discussion

so i got a question.

how come back in the day people had super powers ie. jesus but now nobody does?

imported_Bruce Fee

I can tell you I am more familiar with the stories of the bible than at least 90% of self proclaimed christians.

In order to conquer, we must understand those around us.

These is something on this on CBC, I saw an ad for it last night.



Jason, Satan is the ruler of hell. He represents wrath, power, and lust. Lucifer is the archangel who rose up against the tyranny of "God" with 1/3 of the angels supporting him. Lucifer represents intelligence, ambition, and dedication. This is according to certain bibles of courses. There are lots of different versions. I'd say the the Greek Orthodox one is the most correct as the New Testament was originally written in Greek. Everything else is a watered down version.

i wanted to get symbols representing the two deities on my shoulders, but didn't find anything i liked to have put on my body.

imported_Team Rukus

rub some sperm on your body you will like that.

I think you should learn how to spell first.

imported_Bruce Fee

When pointing out a petty mistake, you should perhaps point out the mistake correctly.

Although I meant to write there, I accidentaly wrote out these. This is a grammatical error or typo.

A spelling mistake would be if I had written their, or they're.

imported_SIR99

doesnt it say somethin about how Jesus told him he was the son of God and not the creator......and this makes the nicede creed (sp) wrong in a way? iono....

bdotdan

whats a gospel?

Turbo4U

vary cool, this will bring up alot of questions for sure

imported_t_dot_SiR

i read this in the stars this morning too... seems like an interesting read and something interesting discovered...

i'm not christian, but anything like these stuff interests me... its just all these stuff are a mystery, there's so many versions... we just have to respect what people believe...

sometimes religions start wars, which makes it wrong (lost its main purpose)...

imported_My93Civic

this is from the gnostic books, books that were left out from the Bible because they were certified uncrediable and easily out for a motive. Plus the writers of these gnostics were not reputable. don't let the titles of the books set you off.

go read all the gnostics if you want. google up gnostic

BTW: These gbostic things arent something new. Been out for a long time.

imported_My93Civic

BTW I forgot to add.

These gnostics gospels were written decades after Jesus died... how could they be accurate? the gospel of judas is even worse.

Compare this to the books that are in the Bible. there's good reason to believe that these don't have any historical worth.

Also these gnostic books are still a few good decades behind the synoptics gospels.

imported_gatherer

All the Gospels includingt he ones in the bible were written Decades and centuries after Jesus lived...

why do we have to respect what people believe?

no one respects my belief that the pyramids were built by a race of hunter aliens we can call predators so that they could hunt black aliens we can refer to xenomorphs.

This believe has exactly the same amount of "proof" that all major theistic religions have.

And just because one belief has more followers than other, it does not make it more valid, think back to when smacking around women was believed to be part of everyones ethical daily life.

imported_Moe_Mentum

^^^^^ I'm pretty sure somebody out there respects your beliefs. There is one author who believes in the Illuminatti. He thinks the pyramids are a form of symbol that aliens from another galaxy use to communicate with hybrid aliens that they have bred with humans here on earth.

I don't think we necessarily have to respect what others believe, because really some people believe some crazy stuff. But it takes a belief to start a revolution, so it some respect we do need to be open to other peoples beliefs.

Bruce I take it your atheist? You sound a lot like one of my friends
