AW! Epistles

Abstract
Sunday, 26 June 2005
In response to your book (I have not read it, just the introduction and premise) I’ll mention the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Here are some questions to think about. Do you have an explanation for the resurrection or do you just deny it? If Christianity is just a pagan religion, why is it the only religion whose Leader’s (the Lord Jesus Christ) body/bones have never been found and who predicted that He Himself would rise from the dead. Why is it that after Jesus died, was buried, rose from the dead, and ascended to Heaven, Christianity became stronger even during persecution instead of dying out with the absence of its Leader. I assume you don’t believe God exists. If that’s true, how does your assumption that God doesn’t exist differ from my assumption that He does. Let me answer that question . Both are based on FAITH, but my faith is reasonable. Take a look at the Origin of things. I am a biologist and I study life and how it works. I see high levels of design which we can’t even come close to reproducing. This design demands and Designer. Doesn’t that seen reasonable to you? Engineers, architects, and artists are all necessary for great projects, buildings, and works of art. Also according to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, with the current rate of decay there would be no energy at present thus nothing left of this universe if it has existed for millions of years or came into being millions of years ago.
I agree that much of professed Christianity has mixed pagan teaching and the true teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ which are found in the gospel and epistles. Wicked men have corrupted the true Church and it is sad. However, God still has a remnant of real Christians who are true to Him and believe that the Holy Bible is His infallible Word. Jesus Christ actually predicted that Christianity would become corrupted and your scoffing book just helps prove the veracity of who Jesus Christ is, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Look at 2 Peter 3:4:
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Anyway, do you have credible sources for what you believe or are they just YOUR ideas. The biblical gospels are very credible. It’s still the number 1 best-selling book in the world. Do you think that’s a coincidence!
You do not sound like a biologist to me, nor even intelligent. Anyone intelligent would try to find out things for themselves before they wrote off silly letters. Why don’t you try reading the pages, or are you one of the lambs that has to be spoonfed by your pastors to know anything? I admit there are a lot of pages, but then Christianity is so full of holes it requires a lot of space to highlight them. And you only need to read the ones that are relevant to your questions. Feel free to come back to me when you have made an effort, hard though it might be!
Call into question my intelligence, nice. Care to address any of the issues I brought up? Do you have an extra copy of your book around you could send me? I can’t spend money on your book. I’m sure you didn’t write it with profit in mind anyway, just promoting a “good” cause, right. You may question my intelligence, but I question your “scientific, non-biased” opinions. I studied Christ for myself, maybe you should do the same without projecting your preconceived ideas and biases into your work. Anyone intelligent would have to agree that Christ, who claims to be God incarnate is either a liar, a lunatic, or the LORD. He can’t just be a good man. Good men don’t go around claiming to be Deity.
Do you ever read anything, or is all you can do to write off ill-considered letters? I told you to read the pages, where you will find the answers to your questions. I have no intention of repeating it all to you just because you are too idle to read it where it is. You evidently do not have the gumption to do it. Christians do not have money to spend on anything worth reading because they give it all to crooks who profess to be Christian shepherds. I question your intelligence because you do not have enough of it to read the answers on the pages but are happy to give pseudo quotations to misrepresent my position. You are too unintelligent to realise that McDowell’s threefold choice is far from the full gamut of possibilities, but plenty of Christians since Christ have been liars, lunatics and Lords, false or otherwise. Christianity depends on them. But you are right, they are not good men.
You and your kind are so swift to accuse of the exact thing you are guilty of. Conceited to think that you were not created because you cannot conceive that there might be someone greater than yourself, lazy with no substantiation for your opinions while just parroting and plagiarizing many other worthless writings trying to cover it up with a bibliography that mimics your own damnable ideas. Fear of not being able to answer my questions with factual sources and arguments. You have no credible sources and hard facts to stand on for your ideas.
And what credible sources does the Christian have? What substantiation does the bible have? Does it have a bibliography at all? What do Christians do but parrot that self-same book called the bible, and incessantly with no attamept to discover the truth of it? What can be more damnable than ideas that have led to countless deaths and tortures over 2000 years while pretending to turn the other cheek. Cheek is what you people have.
I read all I needed to and if your book is anything like your pages they still aren’t worth the money. I found no answers, just opinions. Only people who desire to explain God away would find anything. Anyone with an anti-Christ agenda can twist the Bible to suit his own belief or unbelief. God gave you a conscience, which you seem to have hardened. It gets easier and easier to sin each time one does until it seems like the right thing to do. The truth becomes so painful and it seems to hurt you in particular so much that you avoid facing the truth of God’s word. Now you’ll do anything to suppress the truth because it reveals who you really are: a guilty sinner.
So you say, but your own God told you not to judge lest you be judged, so you have just failed his test. What is your distinction between an answer and an opinion? Since I give answers with reasoned arguments whereas the typical Christian gives a citation from a book between 2000 and 2500 years old with no certain provenance, I suggest you do not know the meaning of words, let alone the truth.
It seems that much of the basis of your cynicism are the wrongs of the “clergy”. Sin of the clergy you so despise goes against your rejection of the idea of sin itself, and why do you quote the Bible as support while you try to disprove it? You may see hypocrisy in Christianity, but you will ultimately answer to God for rejecting the light He gave you.
You do not even understand the difference between sin and crime. The clergy have been responsible for both in the odious period of history when Christianity stamped its authority on the world. Their sins simply show Christian hyporcrisy, but their crimes are monstrous, and taint the supposed religion of love with so much gore and burnt flesh that no decent human being would want to be associated with it. Christians are materialistic and smug, but they were told to be poor and humble. It is the poor who are blessed not self-righteous prigs. The first are last, chum! In case you do not get it, it means you are all damned for your presumption.
God will not hold you accountable for what some religious leaders have done. God won’t stand for your childish, whiny attitude, "He did it first and he’s a goody-goody! It is no excuse to say, "that religious leader did bad things too!" You will answer to God for what you did.
Do you ever think about what you write down? I suggest you start to think about the fate of your own soul instead of mine because on the principal criteria of Christianity you prove that you fail with almost every word you say. God will not hold me to account for what some religious leaders have done, indeed. But He will hold you to account for it because you remain in the foul institution that those religious leaders were in when they committed their disgusting crimes and their mortal sins. You endorse their crimes with your espousal of the same beliefs as them, not me. I expose them and the depravity of Christianity and Christians throughout the ages. You deny that it matters. Hypocrite! That is what your God called you. Pharisee! Read what your own God said in your own book! That is why I use the bible. It proves that Christians ignore it, for all its supposed holiness.
He could take away your breath at anytime, if not for His mercy. Oh, you don’t depend on anyone except yourself, right! I’m sure you are aware that death is sure. Do you know what comes after death? Is it just the end of existence? So why do you gamble with the possibility of God judging you after you die? Even if it were remotely possible that there is no life after death, wouldn’t it be foolish to sacrifice the possibility of eternal life and happiness for a few years of fleeting pleasure on earth?
You plainly take God to be a fool, so there goes your last chance, brother. If you think the God you describe as almighty cannot see through your utter hypocrisy in choosing Christianity for the purely cynical reason that it is the best bet, then it is you who truly are the fool. You illustrate what is wrong with Christianity. It is pure insincerity and pure cynicism. And you think God has not noticed. I believe in God more than you do. It shows what a sinner you really are.
Spiritual blindness has clouded your judgment. I still would not trade a life of faith in God without the devastating effects of sin for a life of unbelief/sin with fleeting pleasures. I have experienced the work of God in my life enough to know that what He says is true. You can’t argue with that. I don’t know why I even try to convince you because as 1 Cor 2:14 says, “the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
What you cannot see at all is that you have lost God completely because no good God could be the God of Christianity. The God of Christianity is the Devil, and that is why it is so wicked. The man you quote here from the bible, as you always do as a substitute for thought, is not God or the Son of God but is a man who persecuted Christians. You think he converted. You had better hope that God, and especially His Son whose express instructions you habitually ignore in favour of this liar and crook, Saul, agrees with you. Since Paul of Tarsus teaches quite other than the Son of God Himself, they both cannot be correct. You prefer the mortal sinner to the Son of God. You sorry man!
May God have mercy on you, Mike.
As I said, you had better look to your own salvation, not mine.
ps. I won’t email you any more.
Thank goodness I shall be saved of more of this pious claptrap. Since you will not read my pages, I suggest you read what your own God wrote in words that even small chidren can understand easily, but evidently you cannot.
