If you want to call it that, sure! God gave you the freedom to choose Him or not choose Him. I’m happy with my choice

I really implore you to give this video a listen, I understand you don’t believe and that’s your right, but he explains it better than I can with a character limit https://www.tiktok.com/@jesusisking.iva/video/7359241137502326062

Actually I can speak to this, I have a severe chronic illness and obviously would love to be healed, but God has a better plan for me, because I’m now disabled I fight for people going through similar situations and I’m able to minster to those who suffer better because I understand there suffering, it has also opened opportunities to me that would otherwise be unavailable, therefore as much as life is harder for me now, I know God has a plan that’s greater than I could ever imagine

It was so great how jesus called a woman a dog for seeking healing and scoffed at a leper. So loving ❤️

Also to try and summarize my response to the prior meme as I understand it’s unfair to ask you to watch a video. God puts us on this Earth to choose Him or not choose Him. Heaven is a relationship with God for eternity. Hell is the absence of God. It would not be loving to force us to love Him then spend an eternity with Him. He instead gives us our whole life to decide if we wanna live eternity with Him or not

“Love me or suffer for all eternity” is not a choice, hun. That’s abuse and manipulation. “You’re awful and only I love you” is abuse.

For your first point here is the context with that passage 26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” 27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” 28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

And if you could give me the verse where Jesus scoffs at a leper that would be awesome as I’m not sure as to what your referring to

Hell is a place void of God. You believe God is bad, so wouldn’t you want Hell? I’m saying this because I want Heaven as I love God and want to spend eternity with Him, and therefore would not want to be in a place void of Him

Mark 1:40-41. The Greek ὀργισθείς means indignant. He turned his back to her and then called her a dog before reluctantly healing. That’s despicable. Would you want a doctor to ignore you and then insult you before treating you? No.

Ah, yes, eternity being a slave forced to worship an abuser. How fun. Eternity would be awful either way.

That word is also argued to mean gentile( non Jewish) and I don’t read it as being reluctantly healing her, but as her showing strong faith With the table scrap comment I believe He is saying you don’t deserve just scraps, and as He is on His way to preach and wants her to hear the entire message, He is asking her to join Him But that’s is my interpretation and I can understand why that verse is misunderstood

But if you are choosing to love God then you are not a slave. Again you are completely free to make your own choices and not be a Christian, but I do enjoy being able to talk with you on this

The fact that there are tens of THOUSANDS of denominations shows how bullshit it all is. Again— “Love me or suffer” is not a choice. That’s abuse.

I don’t believe it’s ‘love me or suffer’ as if there was no hell I would still love God. As to the many denominations it’s because of differences in practice, but with the same end belief that Jesus is the son of God

You wouldn’t, though, because you wouldn’t have the threat of fire under you. And, several sects of the christian cult deny the divinity of Jesus.

Anonymous #2 7w

Yes I would? I love and follow God as I have had read the Bible and miracles happen in my life. Agree or disagree with me, please don’t tell me what I would and wouldn’t do when you don’t know me. And you’re absolutely correct that there are denominations that would denied Christ divinity, therefore they are not Christian’s. As being a Christian is following Christ(which they don’t) and same for denominations that use the Bible to justify racism/sexism/all isms as that does not align biblically

No, they’re still absolutely christians. And yes, those things do align biblically. Your fairytale actively endorses and does not explicitly call them out. And no, you wouldn’t, because the cult never would have gained the foothold it has without the threats and fears it instills and uses to control.

Anonymous #2 7w

No they are not. Jesus taught us to love everyone, not to hate. They do not align biblically and nowhere are those things endorsed but instead are called out. 1 Corinthians 12:13 . Galatians 3:28. And again yes I would, I will again ask that you do not assume you know me or my heart

Christianity gained a foothold when Jesus conquered death and rose again

You’re only christian because you were brought up in an area where that cult is the most common. Russia, you’d have been Eastern Orthodox, Egypt and you’d have been Muslim, China and you’d have leaned more towards Buddhism or Confucianism. And, no, it gained a foothold when it began killing nonbelievers and colonising.

Again no, yes I was brought up in a family where I knew of God, but after a pastor at my church was unkind to me, I left, upset at God and the church. It was not till I came back to God for myself, not my family that I knew of God’s love for me. People all the time twist the Bible to their liking and it is wrong, I follow Christ, not religion or church that twist the Bible for their own liking. Crusades were wrong point blank period.

Again, because that’s the cult that had the most influence around you. Crusades, the near eradication of Indigenous people/our languages and cultures across Turtle Island (which is still suffering because of and being lost because of), the same in Australian and Aotearoa, the attempt to overthrow and dominate Japan, the proselytism through much of Southeast Asia, and the relentless missions to Africa… how it was used by the nazi regime and in fascist Italia, the list goes on… and on… and on…

That’s where the foothold came from and what it is built on.
