Christianity is often treated as a checklist of beliefs or a ticket to the afterlife. That misses the point.Your duty as a Christian is not merely to be “saved,” but to participate in the restoration of the world.Jesus did not summarize the law as “believe the right things.” He said:Love GodLove your neighborEverything else hangs on that.That means your duty is alignment with God’s character, not passive assent to doctrines. God is revealed in Christ as self-giving love, mercy toward sinners, resistance to dehumanization, and refusal to abandon anyone as irredeemable.So your duty includes:Choosing love over fear, even when fear is easier or socially rewardedRefusing to make peace with death, despair, or cruelty, whether they come dressed as realism, justice, or pietyTreating people as redeemable, not disposable—even when they’ve done real harmPracticing forgiveness, not because evil is small, but because restoration is greaterSpeaking truth without domination, and hope without lyingChristian duty is not escapism. It is incarnation.Jesus did not wait for heaven to fix things. He healed, confronted unjust power, restored the outcast, and absorbed violence without becoming violent. To follow Him is to live as if love is stronger than death, not the other way around.If Christianity means anything, it means this:You are called to help make the world more like the Kingdom you pray for.Not perfectly. Not alone.But faithfully.Anything less reduces Christianity to survivalism. And Christ didn’t come just to help us survive—He came to make all things new.

>>944795240the Bible has great truth, some of it is metaphorical, some literal. I can't tell how much of either it is because I haven't read it.I don't know what the upper limits of technology or reality hold, or if they are unbounded.I wouldn't be surprised if Jesus truly is the Son of God, and I hope He is.All will be well.
>>944795428So eve is a tranny?
>>944795428The Bible was also written by man, and altered to fit political agendas, you have to pray for guidance and discernment while reading it.
>>944795465I don't think so.

>>944794920I'm sorry, this is the same loving god who engineered hell. A truly loving god could never create a horrific place like hell where one suffers for eternity for committing temporal sins. Your god has a distinct sociopathic side that I can't simply overlook.
>>944794920I'm more of and /x/ type of guy than Christian, but I believe that he was a real historical dude who basically wanted the world to be better, just because people decided and made it to be so, and I agree. To the other anons, LESS SHITPOSTING, MORE COOLPOSTING! is how the general message of "Let's make it better" would apply.
>>944795054I heard angels learn to fly after stretching their foreskins to form their wings
>>944796094Most religions don't think you go there forever. There's too many consistent descriptions across various unrelated belief systems for me to believe it's all bullshit, but pretty much every non-Christian and non-Muslim belief system (Jainism, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism) seems to be of the opinion that you get your ass kicked for a while more or less in proportion to your sins and then let go. But this could be a really long time.
>>944796710>Most religions don't think you go there forever.Oh, I see. They changed it because they don't like thinking about suffering forever.Gee, that was simple.
>>944796925I tend to think it was the other way around and Christians and Muslims made up the idea of suffering forever because they're mind viruses and they spread better that way. Even Catholicism has purgatory and early Protestant thought/debate was far more varied on the matter than you'll hear in churches. Probably whatever running Christianity is an evil entity out to enslave us all. Have you see how Christians act?
>>944796710You're missing the point. There was no need to create a place like hell. God could just bar your entry into heaven and simply end your consciousness as punishment, but no, that's not good enough. He has to throw you into a place of eternal punishment. >other than the death camps, Hitler was a very loving person
>>944796997Gross
>>944797129Well, yeah. It's a reflection of the people who created that belief system. They're awful people, generally.
>>944796573>jews, muslims, americans can't make it to heavenYes.
