I think I just created a new denomination of Christianity
Allow name to explain. after much study of the bible and meditation over the meanings of the story's therein I realized that my interpretation of the bible is different than any of the established denominations that I know of. Yes this even includes Catholisism. I don't consider myself a heretic and I'm not egotistical enough to Call mself a prophet but incase your curious here are my new beliefs
the quote "the only way to the father is through me" dose not mean only Christians can reach heaven it means that any one who lives a good moral and virtuos life as Jesus did shall go to heaven non Christians for worshiping false deitys will have a harder time getting into heaven than Christians. Atheists for denieing god will have the hardest time getting into heaven (also applies to all non theistic satanists) theistic satanists will not get into heaven sorry but you picked your side. Christians stand the best chance of getting into heaven but suffer the worst punishments should they fail. Suicide is a one way ticket to the deepest ring of hell.
gods great plan is carried out not by us all but by a select few throughout history these people are the prophets of witch there have been 3 Abraham Mosses and Jesus whith Jesus being the greatest and most holy. God only has plans for Certain people but not all of these people are prophets there are some that are called to help there fellow man rather than advance gods plan these people are the saints. i honor reverie and worship god,Mary,Jesus, and the saints.
Homosexuality is un natural and against gods design for humans as it beirs no fruit of life and thus homosexual relationships exist out side of the intended prepose of the emotion love and the act of sex. Yet despite this homosexuality is not a sin as long as it is not a choice. It is not our place as humans who are ourselves imperfect to judge homosexuals only god may do that.
i believe in Devine intervention which is a theory that states that the Big Bang and evolution did happen and that they were the processes by which god created the earth and all life on it.
i use the catholic bible as that is the bible as it was originaly written with no modifications made to sute the needs of a selfish king with a domestic violence record the likes of which would put OJ Simson, eminem, and Chris Brown to shame.
what do you guys think? If you feel I missed anything or I didn't answer all of your questions feel free to ask me. Also what should I call it?
How so I said every one has a chance of getting into heaven as long as they are good moral people and don't commit suicide or worship satan. And that we should leave homosexuals alone and not judge them. How is this bigoted?

So? Hey I don't candy code shit okay I tell it like it is. Love is meant to bond mates together and lead to sex which creates life if the first 2 components exists but no life is created as a result then the bond is illegitimate and un natural. And if you blatantly deny god there are consequences and they will be harsh. If you actively side with god's enemy there are again consequences and again they will be harsh.
Hey I read the bible and this is the message I got from it. All my life I've let others interpret it for me but when I actually sat down and thought about it for myself this is the message I got.
So if my mother is a devout Warriorian Christian and im my satanist self and we love eachother and she cares for me as a great mother and i care for her as a great son and then we both die that love meant jack shit to god and she goes up and i go down? Isnt that a punishment for her in the end who has to watch her child burn and be tortured for eternity?

Besides didn't you read the part about homosexuality not being a sin as long as you were born that way?
All of these questions of "what about this.." just as you state "what about this..?"
Ask yourself, Why are people STILL talking about this at this point in time, considering our relatively SMALL existence on this earth and within this universe?
How long have we said "the earth is flat, no the earth is round"
How long have we said "there is a god, there is no god"
Compared to
How long we asked "what else is there we can decipher?"
lol you seem to have a grudge against a particular belief, not against the idea of a god existing... at least in this particular response.
I strongly believe that "believers and non believers" are better in numbers and that they (we) should both figure it out together in a professional manner.
I have an issue with cussin and being to strong with my words and gestures trying to make a point across, and so it makes me seem like a hypocrite. lol.
No offense, but your ideas are hardly anything I have not heard before. They also aren't any more objective or tolerant than a lot of other denominations or Christian views that I have been exposed to.
Well God said that you have to believe in him in order to make it to the new earth. I am confused on what you mean by morally good people are going to heaven.
A Christian who thinks gay people are alright would consider gayness to be morally ok.
He disagrees.
An atheist might say it's wrong to love a god who tortures people.
He would disagree.
His morals are as made up as anyone's morals.
However, he tries to enforce his morals on others, which I find morally wrong! Quite funny how that works.
Strangely, I feel that even if I did call him out and say he was wrong, my threat would only be "You sure are dumb", rather than "You will be tortured forever by my god".
I get that. But he says that a morally good person makes it to heaven when the bible says the opposite. The quote he stated is confusing me because that was a literal statement made in the bible. Im lost in what he is saying. It is his denomination though so he can do whatever. I can't think of any good names either.
The bible only says that Jesus is the way to the father but simply just believing in him won't get you into heaven if you were a terrible person but believed in Jesus your still going to hell its your actions that are most important.
So are you saying that you must both believe in jesus and live according to his word? Or if you live a morally upright life you will make it to heaven?
Yes I believe god welcomes all good people into his kingdom after all not believing in Jesus doesn't make you evil it just makes you wrong or ignorant and that's just a result of being mortal you are wrong some times its not really your fault. However if you belonged to Christianity first then changed to something els of heard the word of god but rejected it you may spend some time in purgatory. Or go to hell it depends on how quickly you rejected it and like the only way I can really put it is if you were a dick about it.

God dose not tourture anyone. Satan dose. And homosexuality is un natural I never said it was morally wrong so long as its genuine then it's not a choice. But homosexual acts committed by 2 heterosexuals is a choice and therefor a sin and an abomination. And I haven't tried to enforce my morals on anyone I'm simply telling you my beliefs I never said you had to adopt them.
God did not create satan satan was an angel named lucifer he rebelled against god and lost so god cast him down into the earth there lucifer not god created hell. Lucifer turned evil on his own was banished as a result and created hell.
God made lucifer as an angel okay listen to me god created an angel. That angel let jealousy corrupt him satan is what he is now through his own actions. God created lucifer lucifer created satan.
How so. When god created man he loved them most of all lucifer and some other angels saw this and became jealous of man and plotted to destroy man but first they would have to seise power from god so they launched a rebellion and lost and where cast down. Consumed by hate lucifer cursed god and became satan and his angels became demons there in the abyss they created hell it what's a perverted poler opposite of heaven. And to this day satan remains in the ear of man tempting him seeking to destroy man.
It's quite simple if you are someone who sought to live without sin or at least minimal sin and you where a kind helpful forgiving person who always tried to do whatever good you were able then you will go to heaven. Basically just follow Jesus's Lead.
If you do not believe in Jesus it will be harder to get into heaven but not impossible if you were a really really good person you could still get in. After all what if your from a region of the world where Christianity never gained a foot hold and thus were never exposed to it? God is more fare than that.
But what part of the world does this without having a false idop in front of them? I know North Korea is big for this and the only one that comes to mind.
Like for example places where a bible cannot be found like North Korea. They worship and praise an idol. Do they go to heaven for worshipping an idol even though they are doing what they believed was right?
I already said this if you lived in a region where you weren't exposed to christianity than its not your fault you weren't Christian therefor why would a loving god hold that against you?
Of course they are you did not know that you where committing a sin you see the way I see it committing a sin is like breaking the law it's only held against you if you reasonably should have known you were doing it its called men's rea or guilty mind in order for a felony to be a felony you had to have committed said crime with the intention to do so (not applicable in all cases). But unlike our law which punishes the act regardless of the reasons for committing said act I believe god being a loving and merciful god only punishes a sin if the sinner knew he or she was committing a sin at the time that the sin was committed.
Okay about the gay part. Some people are born gay they can't help being gay anymore than you or I can help being straight. So how is it there fault they are un natural? it isn't why should they be punished for something that isn't their fault. How ever their are instances of straight people engaging in homosexual acts (more common with women) for the purposes of either trying to get the opposite sex to notice them at a party or for the sake of "experimentation" that's wrong you went against nature by choice therefor you shall be punished for it. Before you ask hugging isn't always a romantic gesture it's allowed. As for shellfish well I don't eat seafood anyway I don't like it. What verse are you referring to what is the quote exactly?
So her heart points to Judaissm and youre okay with it because she at least believes in god but if my heart pointed me to atheism, satanism or wicca thats not okay to you because ill be evil and go to hell? Awsome
Why do you feel like you need a religion to just be a good person. My parent's don't call themselves Christians and they do and act in all of the ways you described. They also don't call themselves atheists. They just believe in god, they are good people, they want to go to heaven, and everybody is treated fairly and with some respect.
Cool one more to add to the list of thousands that is just as completely false as the last. In fact, this would be even more so because it is completely made up from your own mind and you just admited it so it has an even higher likelyhood for being untrue. The only thing i will take seriously is the Christianity the bible talks about and even then its completely false. Everything else is fabricated, altered, cherry-picked rubbish.
