Religion of Peace In Australia



A BISHOP has been stabbed in Sydney just days after six shoppers were knifed to death in a horror mall rampage in the city.
Shocking live stream footage showed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel being attacked while delivering a sermon at a church in Wakeley.
At least four people were stabbed just after 7pm on Monday night at Wakeley's Christ The Good Shepherd Church.
Bishop Emmanuel - who has a huge following on social media - was reportedly stabbed multiple times and rushed to hospital.
The attacker was said to have been detained by churchgoers before cops swooped and arrested a suspect.
A chilling photo later emerged of what appeared to be the attacker smiling at a camera while pinned down on the floor of the Assyrian church.



And it seems, that the Aussie Christians are not prepared to "turn the other cheek". gud on ya cobbers.

AND no doubt it will be broadcast by all MSM world wide that the Bishop's attacker will be "suffering from mental issues" <<< this being the new apologetics coming from all Western leaders.  Why can they not just face the facts, that Islam is a thread to all Western societies and has been since the day Salman Rushdie wrote a novel.?

So much sexual deviance among the clergy, yet they have the brass balls to call all atheists "drug addled kiddie fiddlers".... well, I know at least one of them does.
At least they have the decent y to hide that they are sick fucks instead of flaunting it.

They must have been "flaunting it" somewhere and to someone, It was a an orgy, ffs! held my men chosen by god!

Priest refused to open the door to emergency services that were interrupting his homosexual orgy.

"The priest was sentenced for sexual offences, the supply of drugs and failing to provide assistance to a person in danger of loss of life or serious bodily harm".

It's also kinda stupid to think humans r nothing other than elaborate flesh robots

Wouldn't go as far as to say "robots" in the true sense of the word. But we were certainly created as a slave species if the bible is to be believed. You want to try reading it for yourself.... one day.

Start here>> "And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground". Genesis 2:5  and then read what comes before up to the creation of the Adam.

Absolutely correct, Deb.  As do the Pastors, Priests and Chaplains. Any explanations for those awkward, embarrassing, ambiguous and  contradictory verses are all made up on the hoof and trying to come across to the reader as intelligent and knowledgeable, at which the Pastors and Chaplains fail miserably.
Hence the total lack of BIBLICAL support for said explanations..

Mall, wrote @Tradesecret
You're saying all these statements but you have no scripture that states divorce is justified. You're just giving commentary of an idea. 
Opinion based on nothing at all biblical is The Reverend Tradesecret's usual mo.


Notice that. I'm giving all this scripture that denies divorce. Just straight from the words of the book, not my own.

Indeed. In fact the Reverend Tradesecret will always insist on members providing "biblical evidence/ proof" for their comments, statements, theories, ideas and opinions while affording himself guess-work, conjecture, opinion. speculation and his beliefs and presenting them as fact. While not affording you the same curtesy. He's a proven compulsive liar and a  fkn fraud that makes it all up on the hoof.
 You'll get used to in if you stick around long enough, Mall. He's frightened to death to discuss any of the gospels or the bible in general even though he tells us that he has;
"been taught to memorise the bible from and early age in ancient Greek and Hebrew languages" too.

It's his "definitions" default when he's in one of the many tight corners that he often paints himself into that makes me laugh out loud. He tells us that he doesn't accept definitions from "some dictionary". 😒

Is Satanism Judeo-Christian?
-->
@rosends
If you want to say that some sort of worship of a "Satan" character is anything then just call it Christian. Don't drag Judaism into this. In Judaism, Satan is an angel who works for God. There is no notion of Satan's being some opposing force worthy of separate worship.

Spot on , Rosie, The bible confirms what A Satan is. But Christians are far too ignorant or stupid to work that out for themselves.

I put this down to Pastors and Chaplains and Priests that promote and have promoted the BS story about "satan".

If we are to go by the Christian belief, then is all those believers have to ask themselves is: who the fk was satan that he believed himself  to be in the position to test the character of the "son of God"?

-->
@Mall
Making a claim and preaching are two different things.#34
You are talking absolute bollocks if you actually believe there is a difference.

Nope. They claim there is a god. They preach about what they claim.  They preach what god and his son and his son's disciples have to tell us. They also preach from a book that was allegedly "inspired" by their god. I.E. the very word of their god.  And didn't Jesus say  " I was sent to preach the the good news"?   And didn't Jesus commanded his disciples to preach the gospels?



A theist can preach about God but necessarily make a matter of fact claim. 


That makes no sense. Theist always present their god to us as a matter of fact. Because gods existence IS  a matter of fact in their minds.

Unless you know of a Pastor, or a Chaplain that doesn't actually believe what he spews from his high and mighty pulpit at every given chance.

There's often people who come back from the dead.... they're dead or hours or days, as far as we know anyway, and still come back despite that it's inexplicable. Often there r stories of those in a morgue waking up. Or someone under water for half an hour. Granted it's very rare for a Christian to pray and bring someone back or at least the stories that we know of, and the stories r usually nde related... but it's not unheard of for extended dead to come back to life

And you have good reliable sources for those claims do you, n8nrgim?

Someone I don't doubt may be considered or assumed "dead"  but they simply couldn't have been  if they regain consciousness.
 Dead means no longer alive.

Maybe we should leave the praying to those who just love that sound of their own voice and pray for the simple things in life such as:

Dear god, in the name of your Lord son Jesus please fix the church bells so my brother and his bride can have a lovely memorable day. Or just send us a free cherry picker so we can fix  ourselves.

December 14 2019.
Church attempts resurrection of a dead two year old child, through Prayer
“We have a precedent” said Pastor Bill, “Jesus raised the dead”.
He said “there was no time limit on how much longer the prayers and singing would continue, but added that the child remained at the county coroner's office”.

Interesting that Jesus also commanded any one that followed him to:
“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give”. Matthew 10:7-8 .
They appear to have done everything by the book too:

“'Since that night, and at the continued request of the Heiligenthal family, Bethel Church has hosted prayer and worship gatherings which consist of singing and prayer,' the church said in a statement”.

Interesting it is that the bible informs its adherents to continue praying! And to “never give up”. Luke 18.
The baby’s funeral was eventually held December22.
What happened here ? “Ye of little faith” or the wrong faith?

It appears that the only thing “raised” during this whole sad sorry saga was $62,000 (“unforeseen expenses” don’t you know) via a GoFundMe page. I can hear Pastor Bill sermonising Acts 2:45 as I write.

It isn't hard at all to find  hundreds of cases where every single devout religious grieving parent was denied what they asked for in their payers.

Adultery is a legitimate reason to divorce your spouse.

While King David (Son of God) had multiple wives and concubines.

Matthew 5:28 - "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

Hebrews 13:4 - "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
Matthew 5:27-28 - "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery."
Luke 16:18 - "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery."
Matthew 19:9 - "And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."

 i dont like that the point is to satisfy God's wrath and blood lust. 

Having been beaten to near death, nailed to a cross and speared between the ribs, doesn't seem to have "washed away the sins of the world", does it?  So gods wrath wasn't satisfied by any means was it? Or was this waste of life only temporary?

And nothing you have posted so far goes anywhere near in explaining why any type of sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins was needed. Why couldn't your ever so loving  god simply say - from this day on all sins are forgiven?

It ain't so much that blood lust satisfies God.  It's that sin and death, took down Jesus, as Jesus chose not to fight back, and divine love brought him back to life.

It still doesn't explain why something or someone has to die in a  blood sacrifice.  Why not simply state and admit ones  wrong doing and your loving god forgive the wrong doer?

"Can be"!?   Followers of Islam have proven themselves to be  violent defenders of their violent and vile ideology over and over again.

Write a simple novel and a fatwa is put on your head- Salman Rushdie... Draw a picture of Muhammad and you get riddled with bullets - Charlie Hebdo. Just not believing can get you your throat cut or head totally removed from your neck - Anyone not Muslim.<<< These are facts!  So it is very rational to fear Islam.

What I find more "pussyfide" is our own Western Governments caving in to this intolerant vile ideology.

As the late great Christopher Hitchens warned a few decades ago-  "resist it while you can before they take away your right to complain about it".

Well when we look at Luke's comment Luke 1:32-33

" He [Jesus the Jew ] will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

The expectation fits the narrative of Jewish expectation - only the characterisation doesn't fit  a "turn the other cheek/render unto Caesar "Jesus at all, but appears to fit the nature of  the firebrand John the Baptist who had actually fought wars and battles.... according to historian Flavius Josephus. Who incidentally, dedicates more time & words to the Baptist than the few words he dedicates to a claimed "son of god" Jesus.

What's the point  of this in relation to the topic?


 Just following on from something that you requoted HERE>#23 . Which explains yet another glaring contradiction in these unreliable, ambiguous and confusing half stories that go to make up the scriptures. Didn't you notice the contradiction in the story?

Here; see if you can spot it yourself, Mall.

"Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him. Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for.""#23

Jesus Arrested. Matthew 26: 47-50
47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.


BUT there again we see another gospel contradict this and has Jesus identifying himself!? 

John 18: 3-8New International Version

3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he.”

Luke: Why Knowingly Write Positive About...
......Something He Must Have Known Was A Failure?

It is Generally accepted that Luke's Gospel was written AD 80–110.  But whichever date is acceptable it stands to reason that Luke wrote his account after the crucifixion of Jesus. So why did he leave out the parts where none of the predictions concerning Jesus' came to fruition?

Luke 1:32-33 New International Version
  
The angel Gabriel appears to Mary telling her:

" He [Jesus the Jew ] will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

So with this in mind we have here a gospel writer, writing decades after the fact choosing to ignore the fact that non of the above ever came to fruition, why?

 It all appears on the face of it that these predictions fit the expectations of a Messiah to the Jews of the time. i.e. A warrior that will reinstate the greatness of Israel.  Rule over the "house of Jacob" referring to the 12 tribes that he come to reunite.

But as we see by the time Luke scrambled his gospel together two thing simply leap from it pages. 1st: he completely and utterly failed to fulfil the messianic role as per Gabriel's predictions.  2nd: early Christians such as Paul attempt to redefine the role of and expected messiah.

So it should be obvious to anyone that claims to have studied and had memorised the  the  gospel  that Luke (writing decades after the fact)  simply couldn't have invented the words spoken by the angel Gabriel. So  why make up a prediction that had already failed!?

I bet you couldn't say anything to convince all bible believers to deconvert from said theism.

 I agree.

But the Muslims are giving it a good try. They call it "re-verting". Because they are of the belief that we are all Muslims at birth and many over generations have "gone astray".. This is exactly what Jesus implied concerning the "lost sheep of Israel" that had been Hellenised over generations while under 400 years Greek rule.

You're [Tradesecret] practically flushing all what you said down the toilet. 

As I said. He's far too stupid to remember his own bullshit or recognise contradictions... Even when he has written them in the same sentence.
Such as here>>
