So that's why God keeps me poor.

>>58359328

I don't want to be rich though and I won't. Just gonna get me a little more

>>58359307
My favorite part about this quotes are the worshippers of Mammon who argue that akshually, the "eye of the needle" was just the name of a somewhat narrow street in Jerusalem and therefore it isn't impossible for rich people to go to heaven, they just have to be careful not to scrape the paint on the sides of their supercar on the way there.
Anyway, it's like that guy said, the love of money can be the root of occasional vexations.

Through Christ all things are possible

I find myself obsessing over money like a wannabe richfag, but really, all I want is enough for a small house in the midwest on a few acres of land, and a couple kids. If I'm lucky, a few thousand left over after that to make a film (specifically one that glorifies God). I can't imagine those desires are ungodly. But I still don't like how I feel compelled to gamble with crypto just to get those things. It makes me feel like I really am putting my faith in riches, not Christ.

did you know when we die we are immediately alive again and there is no in between world, this is the plane of existence where you can enter the kingdom of heaven, here and now, that's why he says the kingdom of heaven is at hand, you have the chance to do it, just be still and drop all thoughts, all desires, all fears, all passions, all everything, let the world melt away and when there is noone and nothing left, you are in heaven
it's a puzzle

As in, you didn't relapse once in that time aside from wet dreams? Good on you anon. I've only ever made it to 60 days, and that was when I had utter, extreme conviction. I've gotten a GF since then (we're waiting until marriage) and the extra pent-up sexual desire has kept me from ever going more than like 16 days.

>>58359307
Because there us no incentive to find the self.

The eye of the needle is a name given to a small gate in the walls of Israel where merchants could enter at night after the main gates closed but would have to strip their camels of all belongings they were carrying to be able to fit through. It is emotionally difficult for rich men to give up their wealth but is necessary as you cannot worship money and God. Also none of the material wealth you earn can be taken with you, paint scratched or not and will hinder your character growth. Just look at men who had it all then lost it, they more often have the humility required to receive the love of God.

by now everyone should know that the "camel" is wrongly translated, in the original text is a big rope like the ones used on ships, which makes much more sense

Well Mr. Apu Coper, here is your $139k moonshot. Ape, $50, maybe you lose. But it’s $50 and you won’t be coping over that like missing the next Apu.

Go to the TG: DOGHOLECOIN and see for yourself that the community is all biz people, just like early Apu. Everything about it is super based. At 126k mc and almost 150 holders.

You want to maybe miss the next Apu and not ape $50 on this so you might be in one of those cope threads in a month? Alrighty Mr. Apu Coper!

Of course they are all pointless fairy tales, but christians and jews have a lot in common, you are basically jews 2.0 (and equally deserve all the hatred they get)

>>58364294
Imagine turning your back on God because you're blinded by your hatred for jews lmao Rebelling like a whore daughter. It's okay buddy, God isn't real, it's all fairy tales, and there are no consequences so you're now free to suck on as many dicks as you like.

the reason why god doesn't exist are pretty obvious, you seriously didn't know?

>There are zero people who believe in Jesus that weren't born in a Christian culture.
Imagine believing this unironically. Even the most cursory understanding of Christian history would tell you that it flourished in a culture that not only opposed it theologically, but killed its adherents. Also, why are you trying to pivot to comparative religion? You're a relativist, remember? Your claim that "truth does not belong to the place you're born" is an absolute one. Again, this is the result of a retarded and inconsistent worldview. It's all relative until it hurts my little pussy then it's universal.

>>58365054
no at all, i'm saying chances are agains you buddy
of course, it could be, but it's veery hard, and most importantly every single retard also believes that
>There are zero people who believe in Jesus that weren't born in a Christian culture.
yeah but what are the odds lol
also, this was true >2000 years ago, right? there where exactly 0 christians 3k years ago lmao
how many religions did humans create from the beginning of time? your religion will disappear in some millennia anyway, just like the one of greeks or vikings
again, odds are just not on your side
>Your claim that "truth does not belong to the place you're born" is an absolute one.
no? where did i say that? of course it could, but man, you were veeeery lucky lmao. And also, all your ancestors were very unlucky
> You're a relativist, remember?
no? where did i say that?

>>58365141
Anon, what are missionaries?

>>58365141
>your religion will disappear in some millennia anyway, just like the one of greeks or vikings
Pure speculation.
>Where did I say that?
One post ago you mockingly said, "the absolute truth is exactly the main religion of the place i'm born in" That's an absolute claim that implies it's not possible. My point is not on the possibility of it being the case, but rather that it doesn't fucking matter because what's true is true everywhere (referring to the non-normative).
>Not a relativist
You argue just like one so it makes no difference to me, but feel free to lay out your position.

christards are pathetic when they think that without LE GOD WHO CAN SEND YOU TO HELL we would live in a world full of massacres and violence. which is complete nonsense. humans can't allow random violence in a society or it would collapse, that's why there are rules and laws.

>>58359913
you're absolutely able to "defend" yourself though, it's just succs raping you in your sleep and you're not lucid enough to realise what's going on. rape is probably too strong a word though because you're obviously giving in.

Reminder that the “needle” wasn’t a sewing needle, but the wooden gate used by shepherds to keep other animals that mixed in with the flocks of sheep out of a certain area.

Also, remember that, while it is difficult for rich to enter through the “gates,” remember Job, David, Solomon, etc., were all very wealthy.

Love of money, kids, not money itself, that hurts us. That’s one of the benefits of tithing, it helps us to remember that it’s not our money but, like ourselves, belongs to Him.

>>58365936
Idk why you're still yapping you've already shown you know fuck all about Christianity. It's about having a standard. It's possible to be be unaware of God, and still do good since it's believed the law is written on the heart. However, not everyone uses their free will to do so, and so if you're going to proclaim to be the one who decides what is and isn't good then the very least you can do is explain what those things are and why they should be followed. There's zero point in discussing anything further until that's established.

>>58366432
kek
if you already know i'm gonna do something, then it's pre-determined: there's no way i'll ever be able to NOT do it
so where's the freedom? can i change my mind or not? if you already know the outcome, the answer is no
you get this, right? it's very simple

>>58359913
I was 33 years old when I stopped having wet dreams.

>>58366513
>>58359913
I was 33 when I stopped wetting the bed. I'm 28 btw

>>58366460
>if you already know i'm gonna do something, then it's pre-determined
If you had a kid, and that kid was going to put his hand on the stove and burn himself, and you know this but don't stop him did the child make a choice of his own volition? Of course he did. The very fact you're even arguing this point presupposes the ability to choose.

>>58366594
>and you know this
i don't know this until i see it happens, because as far as i know the child could stop at the very last second
if i know FOR SURE he's going to do it because i can see the future, it means there is only ONE future, so he's never able to not do it, meaning he's not free
there's no solution to this.
Either you can see the future and know what's going to happen, or you can't see the future because the future is not written until the decision is made. There's no middle ground, no way to fix the contraddiction

>>58366636
It's the very prerequisite for knowledge. Under predeterminism truth and falsehood are incoherent. If what you or I are saying are potential predetermined falsehoods then we aren't even really making arguments right now. Think of it akin to the issue with simulation theory. If we're in a simulation then the revelation that we're in a simulation is in itself part of the simulation so you can never really know if it's the case. In the same way, If predterminism were true you couldn't know it.

God = elohim in the hebrew torah
Elohim is a plural term.
The demiurge and the archons entrapped sparks of light (souls) into matter.
The alien grey niggas are farming your loosh.
When you die, make sure you DO NOT GO INTO THE LIGHT it's a trap.

>>58367077
yes, but how does any of that solves the issue for christfags?
god is not omniscent (he doesn't know what i'm gonna do) or we don't have free will (because he knows what i'm gonna do)
it's impossible to have both the things

>>58367313
There is no tension between the two. It would be one thing if he interfered in a way that left you no choice (as opposed to offering), but merely knowing is not enough to constitute the stripping of ones free will. God is the first cause, and he created us as secondaries. There's nothing about the Christian God that says he can't create beings with free will and he himself be omniscient at the same time. Explain by what mechanism an all powerful God would not be able to do such a thing?

>>58367560
if there's a future that he sees then we don't have any possibility to change it
if on the other hand we can change it, then he doesn't know what we'll choose
you can't just throw the "he can do anything LOL" to fix the obvious logical contraddiction in the system, you are basically saying that it's ok to believe in stupid things and you do

>>58367560
> but merely knowing is not enough
yes, it absolutely is: >>58366636
either the future is something that he can see, meaning there's only that one (omniscence), or the future doesn't exist at all until we make choices (free will)
it's impossible to have both, they are not just "in tension", they directly contradict each other

>>58367602
>>58367624
How exactly does one remove free will with knowledge alone?

>>58367664
because if he knows i'm gonna do something BEFORE i do it, it means i can never ever NOT do it, meaning i was never free in the first place. There's no way i can change my mind (be free) if he already knows what i'm gonna do. The only way free will can exist is if the world is not deterministic, meaning it's impossible to know things until they happen

>>58367664
anon, let' say i have a vision of the future. In this vision, a minute from now, you lift your left hand.
Now, a minute from now, do you think you can lift your right hand instead?
No, you can't. If you do lift your right hand, proving that you have free will, then it only means that my vision was fake in the first place: i did NOT see the future.
It's either possible to have vision of the future (omniscence) or to have free will, they can't be true at the same time

>>58367698
You're not actually answering the question. I asked how exactly does one remove free will with knowledge alone? And you're more or less saying he has knowledge alone.

>>58367782
You're not answering either. How exactly does your knowledge of the future actually stop me from doing otherwise? It doesn't. Knowing is not enough. The fact that I raised my left hand does not mean the choice to raise my right did not exist.

>>58367951
>How exactly does your knowledge of the future actually stop me from doing otherwise?
it doesn't "stop" you, it means you were never free in the first place (so actually he can't stop you at all). You never had free will if your path is pre-determined.
Knowing IS asbolutely enough because it implies that the future is already written beforehand.
Anon, it's not hard.
If God (or any entity whatsoever) knows what i'm gonna have for breakfast a year from now, it means that no matter what i do, i'm doomed to follow that EXACT path that will lead me to have that breakfast a year from now. It's impossible to think i'm free, i'm condemned to follow that path no matter what i do, i don't have any choice whatsoever because i will end up there anyway. I can't for example kill myself today, because if that happens it means i'm not gonna have that breakfast. This forcefully means that free will doesn't exist.
If, instead, a year from now i'll end up having a different breakfast, meaning that my choices can dynamically change the course of the events, then it just means that that future was fake, so it wasn't the future.
Is this really so hard for you to grasp?

>>58368000
>It doesn't stop you

>>58368037
nigga try to turn on your brain for a second
the question is simple
does God know what i'm gonna have for breakfast a year from now?
YES or NO
no third option.

YES? Ok, then i can't kill myself today. I can't grab a gun and shoot myself in the head right now, it's impossible. If i can't kill myself, i don't have free will. Is it hard to understand? Very very simple concept.

NO? Nice, i have free will and god can't be omniscent

If you can't understand this, you are just proving how low the IQ of religious people is

>>58368138
Cope. Didn't read. You said it yourself brainlet, knowledge alone of future events cannot stop you from doing otherwise, nor does it make the other choice nonexistent. Pack it up.

>>58359307
but with God all things are possible soooo i'd rather be rich than turn into a camel.

>>58368228
Knowledge alone of future events implies that the world is deterministic, which means there's no free will. The ability to "stop" anyone from doing anything was never on the table, it's a strawman you crafted for whatever reason. That was never the point. It has nothing to do with free will, i have no idea why you think those things are related.
You are the one avoiding a super simple question, basically because you are an absolutely brainwashed retard. Anyone reading this thread can see how simple my question is and how hard you are coping with the blantant obvious flaws of your beliefs

>>58368359
>lalala i can't hear you
Nice not an arguement you have got here.

>>58368359
yeah you made it pretty clear that you can't read, don't worry. Christians really are just a different flavour of jews

>>58368138
why can't god just have awareness of all possible futures and maintain some degree of uncertainty as to which one will actually happen?

>>58368386
>arguement

>>58368429
because not knowing which version will actually happen is equivalent to not knowing the future
"uncertainty" and "omniscence" can't exist at the same time. You either know which version of the future will happen or you don't

>>58359307
Its because you cannot let it go. Once you learn that these material things does not matter in the next level of existence, its another story. When the white tunnel starts to suck your being into it, do not care about your belongings.

>>58367698
try probability theory

>>58368646
>probability
yes sure, which implies god is not omniscent, because he doesn't know which of the possibility will actually happen. >>58368463

>>58359681
You're going to hell like all "Christians" that still want to make loads of money even after reading the Bible

>>58368000
Just because the Origo knows your breakfast from your shitty decisions doesnt mean that its not your choice, he just knows it. If you knew that he knows it and change your breakfast because of it then he would know that aswell, but the choice is yours.

>>58368463
You are arguing about a being knowing something that you could not meanwhile the beings definition is an entity greater cannot be imagined.

>>58368713
>doesnt mean that its not your choice
you are confusing "personal" will with "free" will.
A ball that falls from a desk has some proprierties, like mass and velocity. What happens to the ball depends on those properties, so it's something "personal" to the ball. But that doesn't mean that the ball has free will.
>he just knows it
Yes, so if he does, it means i can't kill myself right now. It's impossible for me to kill myself if he knows i'll have breakfast a year from now. If i can't kill myself (that choice is IMPOSSIBLE), i don't have free will at all.
If i can, or cannot, kill myself (the very definition of free will), this implies that he can't know if i'm gonna have breakfast or not.
There's no third solution.

Yes, that's just a way of throwing the towel. If you play "hee we can't understand it hehe" card, nothing makes sense anymore and you just agree it's ok to believe in any kind of dumb shit, which in the end is the very foundation of religions

>>58368750
maybe just kys, theres your third solution. Your are going to hell either way kek

>>58368780
pretty sure you are the one going to hell, unless you die gloriously in battle like the vikings wanted

>>58368816
sure buddy have fun with your bedtime stories

>>58368836
you are talking to yourself:
>Your are going to hell either way

>>58359307
This is why every single christcuck thinks that being poor is some kind of virtue. They are literally manifesting in themselves a poverty mindset because muh bible quote.

>rich bad
>money bad

If only you could get past your own emotional barrier that is severely limiting you.

>>58368871
At least tell us what kind of breakfast are you going to have in one year. Dont mind the details please.

>>58368921
i have no fucking clue... i could totally be dead by then

>>58368936
If you kill yourself its totally up to you. Only your choice. If you want to live, that is on you. But we are talking about a motionless being here. You can't comprehend because everything that exist in this material plane is in motion.

>>58359307
Stop taking things out of context.


24. and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' 25. And his disciples having heard, were amazed exceedingly, saying, 'Who, then, is able to be saved?' 26. And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, 'With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' (Mat 19:24-26, YLT)

8. And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.' 9. And Jesus said unto him — 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham; 10. for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' (Luk 19:8-10, YLT)

ok but then this also applies to you. His reasons could be totally beyond your understanding. For all you know, he could have willingly filled the bible with bullcrap, the total opposite of what he wants. "No because he's good", well you know he's good only because it's in the bible, then he sent his son just to mock you a little more.
If he's a incomprehensible beign, then you can't know anything about him, even the stuff in the bible could be false as far as you know. Maybe it's just a IQ test to see who is smart enough to realize that the bible is full of contraddictions and you'll get to heaven only if you if are aitheist.
We either know something about him (and we can use common logic) or we don't. For sure we know he allows some pretty terrible things here on earth, so it's normal to have doubts about him being good. If i'm using the brain he created to understand that the bible is full of crap and contraddictions, it's impossible i'm doing something wrong, because he created me this way.
Maybe you are the one failing his tests: if he really is totally incomprehensible to us mortal, you have no way of knowing. "Faith" could totally be an elaborate trap for midwits

>>58369176
Well i know for sure that my iq is not high enough to understand the logical reasoning of st thomas aquinas summa theologica for 3000 pages, but maybe your atheist mind could understand it proper.

>>58369276
yes i did study him in high school, almost the entire 4th year was about scholasticism. It's normal to have philosophy class in high school in europe.
Of course, it's all crap. Tommy was one of the worst for sure. Roscellinus was the only based one. Then, thank God (kek), the dark ages ended and we started to study meaningful philosophy

>>58369331
so i assume you could argue againts at least one of the five ways he found.

>>58369350
no idea right now, i don't remember much. I only remember it was a schizo.
If you are interested in philosophy about god, the ontological argument by Saint Anselm is way more interesting. It was also mathematically proved by Gödel in the 20th century, the greatest mathematician who ever lived

>>58369411
I dont know why would Saint Anselm be more interesting and Gödel's proof full shizo tier

>>58369553
ok, we clearly have different tastes, then tell me what about thomas you find appealing or convincing and we can start from there

>>58359502
But doesn't he say in the following part that through god all things are possible, so therefore god could put a camel through the eye of a needle and god could accept a rich man into heaven?

Yeah:
>When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

>>58359307
I am unironically giving 1/10 of my earnings from stocks as tithe. To which church idk. Taxes on top are gonna fuck me in the ass but idc.

Christ is King. I'm sorry, God.

>>58371403
I am just keeping enough to live off interest. Hopefully, end of this cycle or the next so I can retire by 27.

>>58371403
Why don't they also rely on God instead of my paycheck?

>>58371403
I don't think Jesus had any plans of people asking you for money in his name, he'd probably flip the tables over desu

>>58371403
You're a subhuman NPC, kek.

>>58359307
Well, its too late now; I have a heavy bag of AAST.
