@denisethompson1035 It’s not about fighting you. It is about accuracy and logic.
I won’t burn. Neither will you or anyone. I recommend that you stop living in fear.
Judaism doesn’t even have the concept of a torture room. You should look into the development of the christian religion. A certain cult took the concept of hell from the greek religion. It’s the idea of the underworld. Christianity is a mishmash religion of whatever existed in the local area.
“The saints have been beheaded, burned, and tortured since they crucified Jesus.”
==Those are terrible things and that was a long time ago. Fortunately, the european culture has evolved and treats humans with some dignity.
“The bible clearly says that they still alive will have to die the same way. It also says that the word is the only path to salvation.”
==It can say those things if it wants but those things are called just-so stories. There isn’t anything verifiable in there.
“The bible has been changed and censored for centuries.”
==That’s normal. Once the master leader dies (Jesus in this case), the followers try to preserve the religion by writing it down. However, in this case, 50 to 125 y have passed since the actual events. The bible is not newspaper clippings. The gospels are anonymously written. We don’t know who wrote them. We don’t know anything about the people who wrote them. Maybe they were deluded. Maybe they had mental problems.
This is why, the bible doesn’t get classified as history. It goes into the religion category.
Yes, over time, the originals have degraded. Over time, scribes have made copies. How could these so-called holy text degrade and turn to dust? Couldn’t this god make something of a better material instead of insect juice, metal oxides, goat skin and papyrus?
That’s the tools of primitive humans.
“Burning alive, is very popular in some countries. If you have truly read the Bible, you know I speak truth.”
==It doesn’t take a genius to write that some christians are going to get tortured and killed. In fact, these were things already happening when the bible was written (as loose leaf).
Some people can’t tolerate people of other religions. Some people can’t even tolerate a different hairstyle or jeans or lipstick.
It’s a huge planet with all sorts of people.
“and the evil will burn.”
==The important thing is that I don’t burn and torture and hurt people. I am against such barbaric behavior. The god/Jesus of the bible comes from barbaric times.
The past is the past and I can’t change it. The people who wrote the Bible were living in the past and they imagined a god from their time period. A hateful, vengeful, angry, violent, killer person that throws people into a torture chamber. Try not to be like that Jesus character.

@truthmatters758 Yes, catholic is a fusion of what the romans believed in. For example, Saturnalia and Christmas are related. Apparently, Saturnalia lasts 1 month. It is a month where masters serve their servants. The master also gives the servant gifts. The last day if saturnalia is the day of christmas. It is strange that it occurs 7 days before Jan 1. In the orthodox type of christianity, they have decided to celebrate 6 days after Jan 1.
Christianity is a mishmash religion. It integrates elements of the cultures around Israel. It includes the hades of the Greek religion. The drawings of Satan are based on Pam and Neptune and the god of the underworld. Christianity also borrows from the Roman religion, egyptian, mythraism, babylonian religions.
Which Bible prophecy came true? Bible prophecies tend to be vague and general and dateless and so, they are elastic.
I used to be christian. I would say that all gods and religions are man made. They seem to come from prehistory, from primitive people who didn’t understand how the universe works or why they exist.
The god of the jews is a god among many thousands of others. In fact, it looks like they were polytheists and then they decided to worship of there gods. The hebrews/jews also were multiple tribes with different traditions, different oral history. This explains why there are 2 versions of the Genesis story.
