The Jesus of the Bible was a communist. If you aren't a communist, then you are anti-Christ.

Interpreting the Bible at face value seems most unwise.
You should probably assume it all is similes, or parables, or fables, or allegories.
The verses about giving your property, I think refer to one’s body. And giving your body to the poor i believe means which spirit somebody will cause to possess their body. Life or death.


For Christians, the Bible is the LAW of God and the instruction book to achieve eternal life (go to heaven). If they are allowed to "interpret it" as they want, without reading it literally, then you are saying that their religion and holy scriptures are a joke.

What kind of God forces you to chose between eternal salvation (heaven) or eternal torture (hell), and the instruction book he gives you makes absolutely no literal sense and everyone needs to go around interpreting cryptic metaphors that were written 2.000 years ago?... Sounds like the work of a prankster.

Anyway, maybe it's was actually aimed to fool people. In his famous "Narrow is the Gate" speech, Jesus himself said that very few souls would be saved (only 144.000 people according to the book of revelations).

Then, what you or me think or theorize about the bible and its passages it's irrelevant to the point of my OP, which was the literal interpretation of Jesus' commandments regarding his followers' economic organization. You could assume that the bible was written by purple whales from mars with the aim of sharing cooking recipes, and would have the same value as any other unverifiable interpretation.

There is no way to verify a literal interpretation of the Bible. That kind of faith cannot be tested. Or maybe it can. The result is everybody who believes in it dies. Pretty dismal test result, wouldn’t you say? Eternal life clearly not verified.

So sadly it must be relegated to the ash heap of failed faith and made irrelevant. Not very funny in my opinion.

But I can test my interpretation and faith and determine if it is relevant or not.

You don't need to study the bible to get into heaven. You don't even need to go to church every Sunday. We talked about this already in there isn't a list of "things" one must do in life, there is only one thing... We are back to the "Thus the last shall be first, and the first last" that is an extremely important statement that you think is nothing at all.

On a side note, you keep talking about perfection and when Jesus died on the cross, he did so due to our imperfections.

It means no matter what you do great or small, or how good you are in life will not determine your place in heaven.

“This is something that people cannot do. But God can do anything.”

What people do will not get them into heaven, only believing that Jesus is your savior will.

You are the one fascinated with private parts, and celibacy i seem to recall.

I just like "Nine Inch Nails".

Was it not something along the lines of your plan to live forever and seek immortality via refraining from masturbating or having sex because sperm release demons or some other such nonsense?

How's that working out for you?

Nine inch nails is a simile for private parts wise guy. Could you not pick that up from the symbols in the video you shared?

Please allow me to elaborate on your synopsis of me.

I believe there is a certain activity which you explicitly referred to, that gives a charge from one’s heart… this charge attracts a parasite called toxoplasma gondi, throughout your body, with the wiring to divert that energy, and make it cum their way… a side effect of this process, scarring one’s heart, faster than it can heal.

If you can not do that activity, then one’s heart will not scar. Since it is really only the heart organ that doesn’t regenerate, and if removing this side effect corrects that malignancy, then the human body can become completely regenerative, old age can be averted, and youthfulness sustained.

Ok, you have the opinion that there is no literal way to interpret the Bible. Got it. But that's just your opinion. There are many Christian groups which think differently from you, others don't. But this was not the point. The point in my OP is simply bring forward those VERY LITERAL PASSAGES about Jesus' commandments regarding private property, wealth accumulation and communist social organization.

There are many metaphors and parables in the Bible, sure, but these passages I referenced are very literal in the Bible, whether you like them or not. Then, my thread wasn't directed at talking about the Bible as a whole, just those passages.

The rest of what you wrote are simply your personal opinions, which I respect and you are entitled to have them, but I'm not really interested in people's opinions. You are free to believe whatever you want about whatever, and I have no interest in discussing your subjectivity, just discussing facts.

You too, you keep giving me your personal opinions and interpretations of Christianity, of Jesus and the Bible, when you SURELY KNOW that there are many Christians out there with very different views than you. As with Inach, you are entitled to believe what you want. That's not my issue.

Your opinions don't change Jesus' words in the Bible. Period. You are just trying to relativize or question those words with your own "interpretation". When analyzing the literal words of the bible, the conclusion is that Jesus preached a communist perspective. Millions have said this before me, I'm simply bringing it forward.

PS: However, this opinion of yours that the bible (the Christian holy scripture sent by God) is irrelevant or unnecessary, I find it funny as hell, no idea how can you arrive to such conclusion. The entire Christian religion is based on the Bible. No Bible, No Jesus. But well, think what you like.

You do not apply context to anything and ignore everything else written that basically show you are wrong. Your whole premise is like 4 phrases cut down to your liking. Your conclusion is 100% an opinion, so here we are with opinions...lol

Mine is not an opinion. I'm reading the LITERAL WORDS of Jesus in the Bible. Those who deny the literal meaning of these words are emitting opinions. I answered this like 20 times already....

For Christians...

I'm still waiting to understand by what authority you consider yourself the final word on what is and is not Christianity? Are you claiming to be Jesus? it would seem so, as every time you are confronted with anything that doesn't fit your narrative, you seem to take it as a denial of Jesus.

Who are you to tell me what is in my heart? Who are you to tell me what Jesus meant? Who are you to condemn my faith?

The answer: no one. You have continually stated that you are not Christian. Therefore you do not know Jesus, and you have never talked with Jesus or God. To me, you are of little consequence... I know Jesus, I know God, and we talk as often as possible. You are merely a man, like me, but unlike me you claim some greater knowledge of literally what others believe. But to others new to the faith, you can be a light to lead them astray, to lead them into sin.

That is why I stopped posting against you for a few pages: I was reading, but I saw a more civilized attitude from you. Make no mistake, I will counter your lies at every turn. The only way to stop that is to stop lying.

Can you read thoughts? Is there some mystic power you and you alone possess that allows you to know what I believe in my heart?

You do not know what Christians believe. You have stated so many falsehoods about the very core of Christianity in this very thread that I doubt I could list them all in a single post. But here's a couple off the top of my head: Jesus is the Son of God, not God the Father. We do not even pray to Jesus; we pray in His name to God the Father, as instructed by Jesus. We are not saved by works; we are saved by Grace. The absence of sin is not how one becomes a Christian; the acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice is. A perfect life is not a requirement to enter the Kingdom of God; an earnest relationship with Jesus is.

Those are the biggies. There are innumerable more.

yeh I think that when you look at the bible literally , then you miss out the whole human aspect of it how we feel
when we speak of faith its kind of like a feeling
and its personal to everyone because they arrive at this feeling , its not a knowing of facts
its a feeling you just get

and words cant describe feelings that well , we try we have lots of words but they never quite explain perfectly
like also the buddhists said how can you expect to understand the universe and all it encompasses in one life time
its far greater than any human mind can understand
so i guess its the same with any divinity we just have to appreciate the feeling even though we cant really explain it that well we just have faith in that feeling and its personal to each of us

if you miss out peoples opinions on faith or their "interpretation" then you really miss out on the whole aspect of religion that cant be written down in a book after all we are only human

Wise enough to know refraining from masturbation or having sex will in no way make me immortal, so there is that.



Please allow me to elaborate on your synopsis of me.


Well since you said please, but your ""explanations"" funnily enough seem to leave out the demon-possessed sperm parts.

You realise we can simply go back and look at the guff you post by way of an explanation?


And the claims you have made a matter of public record here at ATS.

Also can you please provide actual medical proof that masturbation or sex "attracts a parasite called toxoplasma gondi" or that doing so in any way damages or scars the heart?

If anything having regular sexual intercourse is good for the heart and the rest of your body down to the exercise and endorphins released via the act.

As to your claims "then the human body can become completely regenerative, old age can be averted, and youthfulness sustained" again please provide proof as to your incel ramblings?

Next.

You are an imperfect being, your interpretation of those words is but an opinion.
