There once was a boat floating down a river. Peaceful as can be.
In the boat sits 3 person. An atheist, a scientist and a priest.

The priest said : "I believe we can all be better friends if we all believe in God."

The atheist said : "I don't believe in God."
And gets into a deep discussion with the priest and disagreeing at every turn.

The scientist said : "According to my calculations it will take approximately 13hours and 15mins to exhaust you 2 idiots out with a conversation like this."

Being the cleverer one, he started to do research on how he can cut their conversation short.

The boat continues to float down the river.

A boy sitting by the river bank looked up and saw the boat floating down the river. He shouted at them: "Theres a waterfall coming up!!!"

But they didn't hear the boy because they were too engross in their own things.

The scientist, too busy trying to find out an equation that will deduce the Almighty God into numbers.

The priest, too busy telling people about God , he forgot about the waterfall that he heard about.

The atheist simply don't believe in waterfalls.

The truth: You can try and distract yourself all you want. But the waterfall still exist. And we are all heading towards it.

Man is an accident that will correct itself shortly

Well man is flawed.

I pray that man can correct in time.
The consequence of that "accident" is eternal and very very painful.

Man can correct but will remain flawed. The Prophet, like Jesus, was a man without flaw... But then, thats why they were prophets and we are simple men....

Oh, I am pretty sure Jesus had flaws. He was a man. Why in the Bible, does Jesus go from 12 to 30? He never told a bad joke at a party? Never tripped over his feet when walking through the desert? You can't take what was written thousands of years ago literally.

I doubt Jesus was a womanzier and a bad joke teller at parties. For me to even think if that is sin in Islam and I will not even get into it.

Guys and gals, instead of going on about man correcting himself etc etc etc.

Why don't you start with yourself! Set the example! You know what if everyone starts to make small changes in the way they treat each other and the world, then it will all be a better place.

I agree with that.

I bet Jesus told a bad joke once or twice For jewish men to not be married at his age, they were either in mourning or gay. Jesus never wanted to ensure that his family and his name, teachings, etc lived on? He was a decendant of Soloman, he had royal jewish blood in his veins. Not saying anything bad about my Lord and homeboy Jesus, but I think the Bible twisted around his life in order to make the story a legend. No one wants to hear about the Son of God snooring in his sleep or telling bad jokes at weddings.

I doubt God would have found it important to include such trivial things about His messanger in the teachings....

Jesus NEVER jokes. He is not here for the righteous. He is here for the unrighteous.
Thats why He hangs out in bars drinking with prostitutes and tax collectors.
Jesus is not particularly a "NICE" guy. He is not the soft individual you think He is. He will literally KICK you out of the temple if you were disrespecting His Father's house. He did so when He arrived at a certain synagoge.
When His disciple disturbs Him while He is taking a nap..they get a scolding.
He never sinned...He was Not born of the normal way. Through a sinful woman. Only one such as Him is qualified to DIE FOR SIN. Orelse He will only be dying for HIS own sin..not ours.

Before He was even caught..He was already telling all His disciple that He will be caught and He will die. Nobody understood what He was talking about. And He said that His death is a MUST and that it is good for mankind. Peter told Him:" No my Lord..You shall SURELY not die. I will die before I let anyone touch you!"
Jesus told him:"Get behind Me satan!" And Peter was confuse. He did not understand that Jesus must die inorder for us to have salvation.

So Pumpkin, Jesus had no flaw in the eyes of God. And if He not telling jokes is a minus to you..then you need to CHANGE your perspective about life in a BIG way.
God bless you, Pumpkin. You have a mind of a kid...God loves that.

More preaching and less listening it seems. My point was completley taken out of context. I meant that Jesus was a MAN. Think about that. Just like the rest of us. You dont think he ever doubted himself or wanted to quit? THat is alot of pressure for a 12 yrs old boy to handle "Your the son of GOD and you are going to die because of it by your own people" Oh, he had flaws, GUARANTEED! But making him seem more human would greatly decrese the legend of him being perfect and therefore the Messiah of a whole world. You are like sheep being lead to the slaughter unfortunatley. Look beyond what someone told you, and think for yourself.

Jesus was a man... Althoughy a very great man to get the honor of being God's messanger on Earth...

Pumpkin dude.
Thats call blasphemy.
Jesus had no flaw.
Thats how He can pay your debt.
He was pure as snow. Never spoken anything bad..never does anything bad.
At a very very young age..He was able to absorb ALL the teachings in the synagoge. He couldn't get enough of asking question and very soon He was the "walking bible".

Cruxified, lay behind a stone.
He lived to die, rejected and alone.
Like a rose, trampled on the ground.
He took the fall, and thought of me,
Above all.

I don't deserve that kind of love. I can never.
But He said that He loved me since before I was born.
He knew my name before my dad thought of it.
He knew the color of my eyes before I was conceived.

Jesus did not pop into history from nowhere.
Jesus is the Word.
He was with God since the beginning.
The "Word" came to us in flesh.
All the work was done when Jesus died on the cross.
He has paid everything. He bought us for Himself with His life.
Before He died, He looked up into Heaven and shouted:
"Father! Why have you forsakened Me!??"
Many non-believers said Jesus lost His faith then and that Christianity do not surmount to anything because Jesus Himslef lost His faith.
The truth is this. He is suffering on our behalf. According to the law, thats what we must face. Forsaken by God and left to die. Then go to hell.
Thats what happened to Him. He faced that for us so that we don't have to because we can't afford to.
After He said that. He calmed down and said in a low voice:" It is DONE."
And He dropped His head and gave up His life.
At tht very moment, the sky turned dark and the sun was hiden behind rolling clouds.
Every single synagoge/temple in the land got their floor split open all the way up the curtian in the middle of their holy place.
This happened all at the same.
Its a sign from God. Telling us, if we ever need to repent or speak to God, we can do it directly. No need for priests. No need for reverends.
God WILL talk to us directly. Praise God.
Jesus left and He send the Holy spirit to us.
Someone thats "Like Me but not Me." is what Jesus said.
Because while Jesus was on earth as human, He can only be in 1 place at a time.
Now with the Holy Spirit, He can be everywhere all the time.
The Holy Trinity- Father,Son and Spirit.
They are one and the same. Nobody can understand how can 3 be 1....just believe.

Reciting scripture dosent show that you understand what it means

Agree.

But I recite them and understand them.

You are starting to sound like a 15 year old, Pumpkin.

Next thing you will be sitting on the floor crying and kicking your legs because you forgot how to spell the words "shut up".

LOL

It's more fun to play the bad guy.

You mean the devil?? Mwaa hahahah Mwaa hahaha

Not really the devil, but it's good to make people think.....

I think that the sky is green... Wanna debate that with me?
