Xtianity just another example of idol worship

Since recorded history, Every other religion developed out of the fear of nature. Except the Judeo/Christian. The Jewish religion addressed the outward physical tokens aimed at one's conscience. The Christian religion addresses the guilt of one's conscience as already having been cleansed. Both use Genesis 3:15 as the starting point. Where the one who is to restore the family. . . . God and His children- ' And I will put enmity between thee (serpent Satan) and the woman, And between they seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, And thou shall strike his heel. ' The separation between the Jewish and Christian religion concerning this restorer centers in Isaiah chapter 53. The Jewish teachers teach that this chapter is referring to the nation of the Jews. The Christians teach that it is referring to the restorer (Messiah) whose burial cloth we have in our possession today- 'Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, And as a root out of the dry ground: he hath no form or comeliness; and when we shall see him, There is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, And acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him: he was despised and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath born our briefs, And carried our sorrows: yet we esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, And afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him: and with his stripes we are healed. ' (Is. 53:1-5) In Isaiah chapter 2 it is written how the Messiah (restorer) will teach His children who come to Him from every country, The light, Which is the perfect 'law of liberty' (James 1:25) and the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:10). We see that Christianity came out of Judaism from the New Covenant (Testament) God had made. It is very different from the pagan idol worshipping that was done long ago and still done in some parts of the world today.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Since the dawn of time there has been a war. We all know this war. It runs through our veins, it is in our bruises. We were introduced to this war the very moment our eyes became fully developed, having only been alive for merely six months. This war is the single most important issue that has ever arisen. It tore nations apart. It threw people into prison. It has been used to conquer. It has instilled people with fear. Now if you would be so kind, I beg you, lend me your ear" "tonight I aim to resolve that war. So Ladies and Gentlemen without further ado! I will finally answer the question: Which colour is better? RED or BLUE!!! I SAY RED! Thank you.

This one is called "Demoralization obliterated" "I'm a being, festering beneath a world I've engineered with my own mind The mechanical organism I've created within carnality has birthed a rebirth of corruption The regurgitation of human wickedness forever manifesting itself once more I am a being without a need for food or water but a drive to survive, to thrive, to find my perfection with absolute divinity Have i become a man or the sum of what you feared me to be? Have you become the savior of humanity or just a figment created by me?

"God made man from the dust of the ground, formed him into the image of his son A physical being with a spirit, a soul, newness of life breathed forth into being Light flowing from the essence of the father and his son into a man he called his son As the father and son dwelled together in the house before creation Flourishing, still flourishing, creation continues it's existence A commandment given to keep with the hearts of man to establish God's paradise A simple decision to receive life through the eternal tree in the midst would suffice Although man had failed in his mission to cultivate his beauty in this blessed life The father still ever so kindly, graciously hands down his destiny of redemption A life of prosperity and eternal reward through the seed of the woman to come Who would crush the head of the serpent, be exalted, and receive the crowns of glory He would breath into the lungs of man So let us forgive others our sins as Jesus forgave us of our own A high priest grieved, carrying the weight of our deathly sting, took it upon himself Being carried away as a lamb to the altar to be slaughtered in obedience to God's will The image of God, destroying all other false idols, the only one, the king of Israel The one who would breathe into the nostrils of fallen ones new life Lay down vain sacrifices, put away the knife, the sword, let all tears be wiped away Put on joy, shouts of joy, smiles of peace, let us be washed clean with Jesus blood As his glory will one day overflow this desolated world Father to his son, mother to her daughter, husbands to their wives, speak truth and life into existence Let the news that Jesus is alive forevermore to restore us into the paradise One day, God will rebirth the world as all death, sickness, and imperfections will be wiped As his glory comes down and his son becomes the only light when the stars, sun, and moon fade When the New Jerusalem descends and God makes his habitation with men There will no longer be any struggles with each other, no more rich or poor, strong or weak as we will all be the same under one God.."

First one is called "cry of the righteous " "Why are my people grieving as if they are stuck in a strange land, as with no Temple? "Why are my people waiting in isolation where these magnificent buildings proudly stand? Where are the consecrated Temple walls and halls of sacred beauty? We are being struck down, as the grip of Hellenization grows ever stronger Our brothers and sisters suffer under the weight of carrying the name of our God in their hearts in the face of a superior civilization We fight to preserve the Word of the Lord, wage a war as we ride against tyranny where the idols of self-ambitious men strongly stand to consume the world in Greek philosophy But, our will to fight for our God is ever stronger for it is empowered by his Spirit How much more must our prophets be put in shackles? How much more shall we allow ourselves to be mocked as our pastors are bribed by silver and gold? I will lift up my eyes to the hills of Zion, where my king of kings dwells among the nations In the face of adversity and blasphemy I will raise my sword in battle to wage war just as Israel did in the ancient of days against those who seek to devour my soul in an all-consuming darkness The Temple of Jerusalem lays in ruins as mockers say "Where is your God?" "Where is the greatness, the monuments of your people?" The heathen turn and forget God, Their ears become deaf and dumb, their mouths become void of fruitfulness and full of deceit agony, arrogance, slandering the name of the almighty I long to see Babylon, the treacherous, the abominable, and detestable The harlot who had defiled the world in her iniquities and crimes against humanity I am ever so more eager to once more dwell in the heavenly realms where Jerusalem is restored Where my soul finally lays down in rest beneath the glory of the holy one of Israel "

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Tommy's house was raided in the middle of the night! Extra! Extra! Shout it! Shout it! He's in the County Courthouse 'cause his secret saw the light! Oh the horror, what a shocker! The kids they talked and none were shy! News that'll knock you off your rocker! Those anatomically correct dolls don't lie! Oh this court is now in session! Tommy's in hot water and there's no escape this time! The prosecutor names each transgression! Thirty nine counts of child rape, crime after crime after crime after crime! But oh Tommy's got one crafty lawyer. He's got a case that might keep his client's head above. Bit more clever than Tom Sawyer. Appealing to the Fundamental Right to Love. "My client's got an interesting orientation." "It's in his nature to be attracted to prepubescents." And so he says in his altercation. "So what if they're not quite adolescents?" "The straights get to love so why are you hating?" "Fair is fair, love is love, let him know bliss." The judge was dismayed at this berating. He asked the opposition why such a thing shouldn't be dismissed. Pastor Bartlet stood right then and talked into the mike. "Such an appeal, first so harmless, is used to justify deviance." "But love's not an entitlement, that's the defendant's first strike." "It's a privilege that you mustn't abuse, not some kind of convenience." "Let's take driving for example; there's no right to drive a car!" "It's a privilege which can be given or revoked." "It is very possible to take freedom too far." "In which case such a 'right' to drive a car can't be evoked." And guilty was the judge's ruling. Now Tommy's serving time and being raped. Tolerance of deviance must never be a 'cool' thing. Decisions like these are how our nation's future's shaped.
The Federal Reserve

I will respond to your arguments one at a time in chronological order. First of all only roughly about 2.1 Trillion dollars is owed to the federal reserve in terms of pure debt. More is owed to social security (2.6 trillion) and foreign nations (5 trillion) so the federal reserve isn't putting us in perpetual debt, it barely has any stake in it at all. Next, yes the fed increases the money supply typically via open operations, and yes it is technically created "out of thin air" but this really doesn't matter. Actually, to return to your debt point, by devaluing the dollar, the federal reserve actually DECREASES the real value of debt, so it actually helps to relieve the burden. Yes printing money typically causes inflation, but prices are typically nominally rigid (they are slow to change) and the fed has the tools necessary to keep inflation low and sustained, which is actually good, as it eases price rigidities and makes the labor market more responsive to downturns. It also acts as a buffer to deflation, low inflation at say 2% isn't bad, but DEFLATION at 2% is catastrophic, its the reason Japan is in so much trouble, it induces recessions and downturns, and it increases the REAL value of debt that you care so much about. The fed hasn't been audited and is given relative autonomy because it has to be separated from government because government ultimately brings things like lobbyists, and the fed is far too important to be messed with by lobbyists. Whats more, the JFK executive order 11110 is a myth. The executive order didn't effect the distribution of the silver certificates themsleves, just who could order them to be put into use. There was no danger to the Fed. Basically, you haven given the standard economically uninformed argument and conspiracy theory jargon that falls apart under serious scrutiny.
The Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve is a method of enslaving the United States by putting the country in perpetual debt.The Fed is a deception and is responsible for the biggest robbery in the history of the United States. Even its very name serves to deceive the people into thinking that it is a federally owned bank when in actuality the Fed is owned by private billionaire bankers. The United States government does NOT print its own money, rather it borrows money from the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve then issues more money to be printed and given to the US government, literally printing this money out of thin air! This in turn devalues the US dollar more and more, putting the country further and further into debt. It's an endless and vicious cycle of infinite debt. It is the reason why gasoline used to cost 20 cents per liter now costs over $1.40 a liter in some places. By printing more money, the currency is devalued, causing inflation. The Fed also has virtually unlimited power, as it has never undergone an audit since its creation in 1913. The CIA, FBI, and even the US government itself is not allowed to enter the Fed, that is how powerful the Fed really is. Nobody dares to challenge the Fed, because the last person who did was assassinated. President John F. Kennedy wanted to end the Fed and he issued Executive Order 11110 in order to do so, but before he could go through with his plan, he was assassinated. Also, in order for the government to pay off the money that it borrows from the Fed, the government taxes you an collects money from you through the IRS, so every American is being robbed by the Fed right now. The Federal Reserve is truly the biggest scam in the history of humanity. It was formed through and continues to run on deception by making people believe that it's actually a federally owned bank.

Time is but a measurement

There really should be a philosophy category, but there isn't and so science fits this best. Many people say that time is just a measurement. In other words, time is simply minutes, seconds, hours, years, etc. This is not true. In order to prove my point, I will take examples of confirmed measurements and confirmed non-measurements, and compare them to time. I don't want to go too far into it before it is even confirmed, so I await a response, and I will address that, and get into the actual debate!
Time is but a measurement

"Changes in matter. Minutes measures time, which in provides a standard unit by which we can determine the relationship between one series of events and another." I think of time as a corollary dimension, or even another name for the changes in the relationship between one series of events and another. But your idea that you can measure a measurement doesn't make sense. As I said earlier, you can't measure inches. It's the same thing with minutes. But you can measure time. You can't measure a measurement. Try to think of one example of a measurement that you can measure, and you will draw a blank. "If time is a dimension, then how do you explain relativity?" I was a bit afraid this would come up... Here's where I tell you that I'm no expert on relativity. From what I do understand, though, it does make sense that it could still be a dimension. Now, my friend Wikipedia has graciously supplied an image depicting how time could be a dimension <http://upload.wikimedia.org...;. Now, as I said, I don't know much about relativity, so I can't really conclusively prove that you are wrong, except with that visual. "Now, if time is a true dimension, then something can only move through it at a single rate at a time- we should have the same measurements." Please explain. I'm not much of a physics guy. I prefer Chem. "Clarify. I can measure inches using another standard, via conversion." You can't measure inches even with conversion. you can say that a foot is 12 inches, but you aren't measuring the foot, you are measuring the distance. But you can't measure a measurement "You confuse 'time' as used as a measurement and 'time' used colloquially to refer to changes in the relationship between different parts of the physical universe. 'Feet' did not exist before we made it up, but physical size and dimensions certainly did. Changes in the physical state of the universe occurred 'before' we began to measure them." Thank you for supporting my point. See above for my argument. "Prior to the Big Bang, no such changes would have occurred. This is why there can be no time 'prior to' the big bang, as without space and matter, no measurable changes occur that can be used to define 'time' or a period thereof" So, if you could go back in time there, you couldn't say one-mississippi, 2-mississippi... And then come back and say you were there for about 15 minutes. Looking forward to your response, and I hopefully won't take as long next time to respond :-)
Time is but a measurement

'So, if time is a measurement and not a true dimension, as you stated, then what does time measure? ' Changes in matter. Minutes measures time, which in provides a standard unit by which we can determine the relationship between one series of events and another. We measure a second as equal to 'the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. ' therefore if we say something took two seconds, we are saying that the event coincides with 18 385 263 540 such cycles. 'Time' serves as a convenient theoretical dimension by which we can measure changes in matter or relationships in a matter easily grasped by common experience. If time is a dimension, then how do you explain relativity? If I were to move towards you at the speed of light, you would see me approaching at the speed of light. If I then turn on a light and point it at you, I would see it moving away from me at the speed of light. You, however, would see it approaching at the speed of light. To you, we would arrive at the same time. To me, it would arrive far before I did. Now, if time is a true dimension, then something can only move through it at a single rate at a time- we should have the same measurements. No such thing is known to exist in the 3 physical dimensions, and I am aware of no parallels. Therefore, the only reasonable conclusion is that time is not dimension as we understand the word, but a subjective measurement of perceived change in the physical universe 'Likewise, you can measure time, but you can't measure inches.' Clarify. I can measure inches using another standard, via conversion. Also, a measurement of a dimension must be objective, as the dimension or the object's span in said dimension must be definite. Measurements of time fail to meet this requirement. Time is subjective 'Lastly, I would like to point out that, if time is but a measurement, people would have had to have invented time, and therefore there was no time before that. ' You confuse 'time' as used as a measurement and 'time' used colloquially to refer to changes in the relationship between different parts of the physical universe. 'Feet' did not exist before we made it up, but physical size and dimensions certainly did. Changes in the physical state of the universe occurred 'before' we began to measure them. Prior to the Big Bang, no such changes would have occurred. This is why there can be no time 'prior to' the big bang, as without space and matter, no measurable changes occur that can be used to define 'time' or a period thereof Time= a description of changes in the physical universe. Like all descriptions, it is a creation of man, formed in our attempt to understand the universe and useful towards such ends
Time is but a measurement

I must say, I completely disagree with your contention this round :-) No, I'm not that cruel. I'll take what you wrote in the comments as your argument. So, if time is a measurement and not a true dimension, as you stated, then what does time measure? Inches measure distance. Pounds measure weight. Minutes, not time, measures time. Likewise, you can measure time, but you can't measure inches. You can measure length, but not inches. Lastly, I would like to point out that, if time is but a measurement, people would have had to have invented time, and therefore there was no time before that. That is highly illogical, as the the universe could care less about the minutes, seconds, etc. Just as the universe could care less about inches and feet, but length is there. Time was there, the measurements of time weren't. I am looking forward to your first real argument, and happy debating!
