Christianity was invented and made up by man. Jesus didn't start it, God didn't start it. We can learn in scripture what God started from the foundation of the world.
Jesus was the central figure in Christianity. Jesus had to be accepted to be a Christian. So Christianity started with Jesus.
How can I become a Christian?
This is the best part. Because of His love for us, God has made it exceedingly simple to become a Christian. All you have to do is receive Jesus as your Savior, fully accepting His death as the sufficient sacrifice for your sins (John 3:16), fully trusting Him alone as your Savior (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Becoming a Christian is not all about rituals, going to church, or doing certain things while refraining from other things. Becoming a Christian is all about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ, through faith, is what makes a person a Christian.
Are you ready to become a Christian?
If you are ready to become a Christian by receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, all you have to do is believe. Do you understand and believe that you have sinned and are worthy of judgment from God? Do you understand and believe that Jesus took your punishment upon Himself, dying in your place? Do you understand and believe that His death was the sufficient sacrifice to pay for your sins? If your answers to these three questions are yes, then simply place your trust in Jesus as your Savior. Receive Him, by faith, fully trusting in Him alone. That is all it takes to become a Christian!

What did Nikola Tesla think of Einstein's theory of relativity?
Tesla said the following on the theory of relativity in a 1935 New York Times interview: "The theory, wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors.

What will replace string theory?
Bosonic string theory was eventually superseded by theories called superstring theories. These theories describe both bosons and fermions, and they incorporate a theoretical idea called supersymmetry. In theories with supersymmetry, each boson has a counterpart which is a fermion, and vice versa.
Future Prospects
Theoretical physicists continue to refine the mathematical models and explore new aspects of the theory, such as non-perturbative effects and string field theory. Empirical breakthroughs, such as the discovery of supersymmetry or extra dimensions, could provide crucial evidence for string theory.

But that was all that Newton saw, a falling apple.Does not follow that the apple proved gravity, nothing has proved gravity. There has been evidence that supported but not proved
A falling apple led to the discovery of gravity.
Newton's discovery
The first written account appears in notes on Newton's life collected by John Conduitt in 1726, the year of Newton's death. It states that: "he first thought of his system of gravitation which he hit upon by observing an apple fall from a tree". The event occurred in the late summer of 1666.

They dont even play games. They just read nonsense news all day and believe almost everything without question. Their ability to think doesnt even exist. It’s just emotionally driven mind combined with memory. It’s why I doubt that they are really my parents. My ancestors were all stupid too, so I dont really know how is it possible that I am the product of them. The only thing I can explain it with is the great amount of disorders that I have which may have helped me develop intelligence by forcing me to think and figure out how to manage in difficult situations I was constantly in.
Maybe they deliberately did it to help you develop intelligence by forcing you to think and figure out how to manage in difficult situations they put you in constantly. Their perseverance it appears paid off.

First thing you're going to have to learn is that Christianity is actually man made, man invented. There's a difference between that and what God started as a faith for man. So many , the broad majority do not make this distinction.
What God started as a faith for man Christians believe was invented for man. Therefore removing any distinction.

I watched them trying for 2 hours to open a wine bottle and failing. They had smartphones for 10 years and still dont know how to use great majority of options on smartphone. Like, they couldnt figure out how to change font size after accidentally making font smaller. They dont even know how to search instructions on google.I mean, at age 8, I had better skills in technology than they do now. I dont even know how is it possible to use smartphone every day and not learn almost anything.
Maybe the instructions were in Chinese. Maybe they bought it to mainly to play games.

The correct thoughts are sedavacantism, but he has accepted the heretics of vatican 2 and the current pope. I will be writer a more full argument for sedavacantism when I have some time.
By withdrawing submission from the Holy Father and the faithful in communion with him, Sedevacantists are schismatic and hence automatically excommunicated from the Church under both Divine and ecclesiastical law (canon 1325, par. 2).

Yes it did lead to the discovery of gravity, but it wasn’t the Apple falling that gave us the main understanding of gravity, instead gravity was simply a hypothesis to explain the experienced phenomenon. And the reason gravity is a valid hypothesis is that it’s falsifiable and yet all the attempts to falsify it have failed so the hypothesis has stood.
But that was all that Newton saw, a falling apple.

An apple falling from a tree doesn’t prove gravity, it simply proves that apples fall from trees, we don’t need science to prove that. What science does is it hypothesizes why it falls from the tree, not if it falls from the tree. And one of the hypothesis, and the most accepted one is gravity and that’s because it’s a hypothesis that has evidence supporting it and has never been disproven or “torn down” by the scientific method.

Chinese also eat bats.Some say their habit of eating bats gave us covid.
What are the Americans eating. America was the epicentre of Covid. Trump admitted only one case of Covid came from China which was his excuse for banning all travel to and from China. So the Covid epidemic was home grown. 1.2 million Americans died from Covid.

Why else would Springfield swing much more for Trump than other places in Ohio?
Trump is a consistent/persistent liar. He is also a convicted criminal.
Over the course of five decades, Donald Trump has been accused of sexual assault, tax evasion, money laundering, non-payment of employees, and the defrauding of tenants, customers, contractors, investors, bankers, and charities. Also filed 6 bankruptcies. Trump paid 88.5 million to E.Jean Carroll for raping and defaming her. Trump was charged with paying hush money to porn stat Stormy Daniels to keep secret their sexual encounter while Melania was pregnant with Barron. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years . What he lacks in sex appeal he makes up with his pussy grabbing.

Read the literal reply you have in your reply, the one I just wrote. It’s not FOR my nonexistent pet (why would I want to know something for the sake of informing an unlikely pet about it?), it’s for me. Just me. No animals, no translators, nothing. Please just read what I’m saying.
You mentioned your concern a lot of Christians has no problem with harming animals in any way.
Do animals have free will? If not, what is free will defined as? If so, can they sin, and did Jesus die for them as well?The reason I ask this is because I see a lot of Christian’s with a very human-centric mindset, and it’s odd to me that someone who supposedly cares so much for life has no problem with harming animals in any way. I’m wondering if they possibly see themselves as superior, and if free will is the determining factor here.
The reply to your question “Do animals have free will? If not, what is free will defined as? If so, can they sin, and did Jesus die for them as well? “ would be useless unless it could be translated for the animal to understand.

Gravity isn’t even really “proven” yet it is just about as close to proven as any hypothesis can be in a scientific framework, which is why it’s called a theory.What is the scientific proof for gravity?
An apple falling from a tree! That's all the proof you need – indeed everything falling to the ground tells us that gravity exists.

@Double_R
Only on the MAGA right could "I just start kissing... I don't even wait" = "they gave consent".It isn't just that this is a blatant disregard for basic English, it's also that the context of this conversation does not in any way support your fantasy interpretation. "They let you do it" does not mean "they said sure go ahead". It means they won't stop you. Not stopping someone =/= consent.This is what being in a cult looks like, it's a place where basic common sense need not apply.
But would Trump have stopped if they did not consent? The courts decided no!!

Why is string theory both a dream and a nightmare?
String theory, even in the low-energy limit, demands a much greater degree of symmetry than even this, which means that a low-energy prediction of superpartners should arise. The fact that we have discovered exactly 0 supersymmetric particles, even at LHC energies, is an enormous disappointment for string theory

They are stray eaters not pet eaters. Cats are a tasty cultural snack for some Haitians.
A baseless claim that illegal immigrants from Haiti have been eating domestic pets in a small Ohio city has been repeated by Donald Trump.

Are you suggesting that things only matter if we can understand them? Because while I may not be able to tell a millipede that it has free will, they will still have it. I just want to know if they do, according to Christian’s at least.
Read my first reply: Knowing the answer to your question about animals having free will, will not help your pet if it cannot be translated for it to understand.

Well then I don’t really need to explain it to a future pet that I don’t have yet and won’t ever have to explain free will to (because legitimately why would i)?I’m not going to talk to a millipede, you’re the only person who mentioned talking to animals at all.
You are the only one who asked if animals have free will and did Jesus die for them as well
