>>18027431Isaiah 33:6He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.
>>18027431>Do you fear God?if a person doesn't then they can always be baptized... seizing a man and holding him beneath the water until he submits to the authority of Christ is a time honored tradition for dealing with those that initially refuse to recognize the body of Christ.
I do not fear things that dont exist. Its stupid.

>>18027986You won't escape his judgement.
>>18027472We can prove God exists. He proved it repeatedly at the Temple.What more clearly identifies a deity than its temple? And the only temple that ever had gargantuan, overt miracles was the Temple of God in Jerusalem.Some of the most recent public miracles performed by God took place when the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate instructed the Jews to build a Third Temple.In addition to the numerous historians who report this order from him, he himself in a letter writes "the Jews, what have they to say about their own temple, which was overthrown three times and even now is not being raised up again?...I myself, after so great a lapse of time, intended to restore it" as you can read here: https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/julian_apostate_letter_to_a_priest.htmSo an anti-Christian Roman Emperor sponsored the Jews to rebuild the Temple, something they were exuberantly enthusiastic about. So why isn't there a Third Temple?The non-Christian Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus, either a contemporary of Emperor Julian or who was born just after his death, reports inhttps://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2007.01.0082%3Abook%3D23%3Achapter%3D1%3Asection%3D2 that Julian "planned at vast cost to restore the once splendid temple at Jerusalem, which after many mortal combats during the siege by Vespasian and later by Titus, had barely been stormed. He had entrusted the speedy performance of this work to Alypius of Antioch, who had once been vice-prefect of Britain. But, though this Alypius pushed the work on with vigour, aided by the governor of the province, terrifying balls of flame kept bursting forth near the foundations of the temple, and made the place inaccessible to the workmen".Sozomen reports the same here: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/26025.htm, as do othersSo when they tried, God forced them to stop with a miracle.
>>18027995Christgolem threats don't faze me. Most Christcucks on this board are underageb& zoomers anyway.
>>18028003Your "god" doesn't scare me. By the way, I know you're bullshitting because that's all Christcucks do. Can't convince anyone edgewise, it's just kind of pathetic.Amaterasu is Queen, sorry man.
>>18028005Or they are brown.
>>18028022C'mon, let's have a real discussion about this. Ameratsu is an excellent counterpoint. Think about it: how many temples to Ameratsu are there and have there been? Tons and tons. But we see no such miracles at any.There has only ever been on Temple to Yahweh. And at it, each of the three times it has been built (or started to be built at least for the third time), we have historically verifiable miracles. Really read the evidence I posted and consider it!

It could have been just a legend.>C'mon, let's have a real discussion about this. Ameratsu is an excellent counterpoint. Think about it: how many temples to Ameratsu are there and have there been?

>>18028005It's not a threat, it's a heads up. Don't do evil or you will regret it. The one who will judge you despises evildoers.
>>18028043If you dare sit for 20 minutes a day and call upon Yahweh repeatedly and see if something doesn't happen.
>>18028057I try to avoid doing evil things as much as I can, thanks. What do you define as "evil"? Give some examples. Giddy up, little guy. Come on.
>>18028062Maybe something like that.
>>18028043>What do you mean with third time?Emperor Julian gave the Jews authorization to attempt to build a third Temple, but God stopped them with miracles, >>18028003 talks about it. It's really interesting, look at some other reports at https://www.fisheaters.com/juliantemple.html>The japanese also had some bullshit things that they attributed to miracles send by the Gods like the kamikaze.That's why the miracles at the Temple in Jerusalem are so significant. They leave no doubt that the deity is involved since they're specifically associated with His Temple, unlike a storm out at sea.
are Christians just sadists or something why do you get your rocks off scaring everybody

>>18028003>that Julian "planned at vast cost to restore the once splendid temple at Jerusalem, which after many mortal combats during the siege by Vespasian and later by Titus, had barely been stormed.

>>18028116This doesn't seem possible, to make "terrifying balls of flame kept bursting forth near the foundations of the temple" be the case, you would need something like gunpowder, which of course wouldn't exist for 1000 years. And Ammianus Marcellinus was not a Christian, so "christians later trying to claim" doesn't work.Look at the historian Sozomen's report (source: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/26025.htm) - "all parties relate, that they had scarcely returned to the undertaking, when fire burst suddenly from the foundations of the temple, and consumed several of the workmen.This fact is fearlessly stated, and believed by all; the only discrepancy in the narrative is that some maintain that flame burst from the interior of the temple, as the workmen were striving to force an entrance, while others say that the fire proceeded directly from the earth...If any one does not feel disposed to believe my narrative, let him go and be convinced by those who heard the facts I have related from the eyewitnesses of them, for they are still alive. Let him inquire, also, of the Jews and pagans who left the work in an incomplete state, or who, to speak more accurately, were able to commence it."The only person who could do sabotage like this would be a time traveler with landmines!

According to you that Ammianus guy very likely was born when Julian died. 20 years and more is enough time that they thing he could find out about the temple not being build are christian myths. >newadvent.orgYeah I bet this site isn't biased and reports the truth and not some christian apologetics propaganda with many untruths in it.
>>18028211>Or maybe these two It's not just two. Look at https://www.fisheaters.com/juliantemple.html, we have four other sources for this. >According to you that Ammianus guy very likely was born when Julian died. Not so, they were contemporaries. Julian died in 363 AD according to https://www.britannica.com/biography/Julian-Roman-emperor. Ammianus Marcellinus was born about 330 AD according to https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ammianus-Marcellinus. One of our sources, Gregory Nazianzen, actually knew him personally when they were younger men in Athens. He writes about it at https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/gregory_nazianzen_3_oration5.htm in chapter 23. >did just report what they have heardOur sources cite people who were personally there. Sozomen writes, as you can read at https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/26025.htm:"If any one does not feel disposed to believe my narrative, let him go and be convinced by those who heard the facts I have related from the eyewitnesses of them, for they are still alive. Let him inquire, also, of the Jews and pagans who left the work in an incomplete state, or who, to speak more accurately, were able to commence it."There was even physical evidence for these miracles. Gregory Nazianzen reports, as you can read at https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/gregory_nazianzen_3_oration5.htm, "Let those who were spectators and partakers of that prodigy exhibit their garments, which to the present time are stamped with the brandmarks...so marked upon his clothes in a manner more variegated than could be done by any artificial work of the loom or elaborate painting".Socrates Scholasticus also reports, as can be read at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=inu.30000003089566&seq=224, that they were "imprinted on their garments, which at daybreak they in vain attempted to rub or wash out".>Yeah I bet this site isn't biased and reports the truthIt's just a website that hosts the translation, anon.
