Humans beings were made by the Divine to be their slaves. Paganism and Christianity both agree with this - ignoring the modern LARP shit. Us mortals need to serve the Divine because they are perfect while most other humans are cruel monsters. We are the property of our creators and there is a much greater freedom in serving them than evil exploitative institutions and governments.
>>18024124>Christianity both agree with thisNo. Genesis tells you the exact oppositeHumans were made in God's image - an honor that not even the angels were allowed to have.We are not slaves, we are children whom he wanted in his kingdom. We just need to say yesPaganism just tells you that humans were born out of random chance. Completely unwanted and unnecessary. Just tolerated by the gods
>Paganism and Christianity all agree with this.As I said yesterday when you made this exact thread both St. Paul, THE church father of Christianity, and Seneca one of the most erudite and influential pagan stoics spoke directly on this and asserted that God does NOT need human servants. Paul said>Nor is [God] served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mortals life and breath and all things (Acts 17:25)Seneca wrote>God seeks no servants. Of course not; he himself does service to mankind, everywhere and to all he is at hand (Epistulae XCV.48)Now, what do you say to this.
>>18024328Why then is the Christian god a "lord", why do Christians identify themselves as his "servants" and why does Jesus constantly represent him as a slave master in parables?
>>18024365He is not a slave master. Just a master to his servants who are there of their own volition. His servants surrendered willingly because they recognized that he is superior to them, and he loves each one more than you know
>>18024328No. I can talo to apollo
>>18024374>who are there of their own volitionWhat happens if we don't serve him?
>>18024330>Now, what do you say to this.The real ancient paganism was more intelligent than e-paganism promoted ny larpagans from xiiter
>>18024382The better question is why you won'tHe already showed you who he is - a man without sin. It is you who had to explain why you don't want to follow him
>>18024396No, I don't have to explain anything. There aren't consequences after all, are there?
>>18024572The consequences are brought about by the reasons for your refusalHe didn't inflict it. You did
>>18024124No!!!All gods are mythologies so take your "slave to the divine" bullshit and cram it where the sun don't shine
>>18024575No, I did not "inflict" anything.
>>18024328>>18024330Read more about Christianity and Paganism. Read more historical writings. Also use your head and recall differences.
>>18024589Doctor told you to stop eating junk. You didn'tDon't go crying foul
>>18024601?
>>18024601a better analogy is if your dad told you if you don't eat a slice of cake he's offering you he'll cram you in the oven
>>18024616You are already cramming yourself in the ovenHe is telling you to stop
>>18024396Don't dodge the question anon. What happens if we don't?
>>18024626>Victim blamingI don't send myself to hell when I die. If that was an option, everyone would just choose heaven. The whole christian afterlife concept is founded on the idea that you're forced to go to hell when you die. It's either god forcing you down there, or it's Satan dragging you down. Either god holds everyone hostage in life, or Satan is more powerful than god.
>>18024688You get what you wanted - you join the devil
>>18024691Heaven IS an option. If you want to be a citizen of heaven, act like oneYou can't enter a civilized country and continue shitting on the streets. Heaven has standards
>>18024692>>18024693>god doesn't threaten people into doing what he says>he just expects you to do what he says, and if you don't he does the worst possible thing he can do to youI understand that sophistry and entry-level PR management are part of christfag training, but you could at least be honest on 4chan of all sites.
>>18024750>he can do to youAgain, he doesn'tYou are doing that to yourselfIt doesn't take an expert to realize that Jesus was right in every single wayLiving like him leads to a fulfilled lifeLiving opposite of him leads to self-destructionThe question is why you don't want to recognize that he is right
>>18024761Lol you're not even using christian sophistry anymore, your whole post was just "nuh uh." Thanks for the dub. The jews of ancient Israel allowed your religion to develop btw
>>18024801The Ancient Jews converted to Christianity.The Jews you have today are heretics
>>18025580The ancient jews allowed their untouchable poor class to have a religion because it adhered to jewish faith without promising that said poor class would get any of the perks of being a jew. That is why christianity has become so popular with brown felons and undesirables
>>18025762Rich jews got robbed naked, dudeThat's the entire goal of their expulsions - to rob them out of everything
