People who do not believe in Jesus Christ are blind and deaf

[just_me]

In Matthew 13:13-15, Jesus tells us why He spoke to the multitudes in parables:

"Because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, 'By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."'

“Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” (Psalm 137:9)

“I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” (1 Timothy 2:12)

“This is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3)

“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22)

“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18)

(the thing about quoting a book full of bizarre things is that we can quote it also)

But it's the WORD.

Although, in thinking about it, it could not be THE word because it is more than one word.

I believe but doubt his existence altough this statement is so wrong!

You think everyone else is blind and deaf just for quoting a few lines from the bible?
Dude, the Quran also has a lot of shit just like the Bible, does that mean everyone who doesn't believe in Allah is blind and deaf?
Same goes for Torah

Do all the bad karma in the past and then repent it years later on a virtual forum by spreading religion ?
Ain't this the case

[chowderman]

It's cute how you believe that, simply because some one else told you to believe it. Some one else another person that can be as much at fault as you or myself or anyone else. Uncertainty...its a scary thing, especially when its the truth. What do you believe now?

Hmm I Believe in SCIENCE, and I'm pretty sure my sight and hearing are perfect. But thanks for your concern.

Talking seriously , I respect the belief of everyone, but I just can't stand the people that threaten , bash or hate the others because they think or believe in something different.

Exactly, Why discuss religion and an alien astronaut's thoughts, here on a cryptocurrency forum at the first place ?

Now here's the problem I'm addressing to you, just_me, since you seem to wish to post jesus stuff over and over.  It would follow that, if you made conversions, they would donate to a church or churches or causes. 

This website and to some large degree, the threads have to do with the impact of bitcoin on society.  Now, do you have ways that bitcoin can be donated to your causes?  If so, let's hear what they are.  If not, are you advocating - here - donations in fiat currency?

No beating around the bush please.  I'd simply like to know if you are here to create/foster/explain how the important job of donations by the faithful or the newly converted can be done in bitcoin, or whether you are one of the tired old fiat operators and hustlers.

Thanks.

We don't have definitive proof either way if God exists so who gives a shit

i think jesus was a regular man and the romans proved that when they killed him. i could be wrong but thats my opinion.

i am open minded to the possibility of something greater than ourselves that could be responsible for life but i have a hard time swallowing what the bible says. i think they are the words of man not god.

It's okay to tell others about your religion, but don't insult them for not following it.

I quoted from a website, some scripture that is close to what Jesus said.

Hearing, they do not hear.

Seeing, they do not see.

You do hear, and you do see; but you do not hear, and you do not see.

How can this be? I am the wise man of the world. Surely if there was something there to hear or see, then surely I would hear and see it before all these other imbeciles would.

Is that what you think?

Why then has God hidden it from you?

[pabloangello]

I believe that such a man like Jusus Christ existed in the past. Does it count?

[MarKusRomanus]

By their fruits you shall know them.. and your fruit stinks of elitism and judgement.  All caught up on the idea of believing in him and all that is really important is living by his spiritual teachings (i.e the golden rule).  The slave regurgitates and quotes ... our salvation is in those who actually live by what was taught.  I know you want McDonalds spirituality which only requires you to just say " I believe!"  ..but join the adults.. and just live it.

Shouldn't this thread have been started in off-topics? Or is it just me that fails to see the connection to Bitcoin?

Yours was also quoted in convenience very out of context, notably all of your quotes...
