Naw, I'm very deliberate about what I said. If Jesus was perfect and said "there's none good but God", then you're saying there's people more perfect than Jesus.

Neither of those people existed so that's a rather poor example.

Jesus probably existed, but I agree that purely biblical examples are problematic.

"Probably" is not "he absolutely existed" unfortunately. There's probably unicorns somewhere.

There's also probably not a God and a Jesus.

This is different to what you said initially. I don't personally believe that Jesus was a holy or divine person as I'm not a religious person, but there's a lot of historical evidence that he was a person that existed.

Historians all agree Jesus was real, so...

by Anonymous 1 day ago

No, they do not, lol. And certainly not to the extent that the historical Jesus = biblical Jesus. And most of what you typed is comparing good to the perfect. I guess this has something to do with being inherently sinful. Thus, you can't be perfectly good? Idk, I'm not familiar with that mythology. But if he died for your sins (and the resurrection wasn't a reneg on that), then wouldn't you be in good standing? Maybe you can clear this up for me! I'd love to know more

You've touched on one of the many plotholes in the Bible. Between the "are we sinners or are we not", who said what about what, and the Bible saying the Earth is only 6000 years old... to name a small fraction.

The Bible addresses false prophets, too.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

You are implying the only "good person" is someone who has never done any wrong. That's a demand for "pure goodness" in order to qualify as "good". That's not reasonable.

Oh, there you go: it isn't reasonable, therefore it cannot be reality. You get my point, then, albeit you got there by a back road, but you get it now.

You're lost if you think you're morally superior to Jesus. Honestly, show some humility. That's the biggest tell you're not a good person.

Bro. I never said that. I dont believe in Jesus. Nor Allah. Nor any major religious figure. You're making an opinion that is basically saying "everyone sucks. You all are bad" and your main foundation is Jesus. Like come on. So what? Everyone who does and doesn't believe in him is bad? What's the point of caring then. I dont really care about Jesus's opinion just saying. Shoutout to most Jesus followers though

My main foundation? I studied Buddhism, too. Care for their interpretation?

by Anonymous 1 day ago

No its still a religion. Albeit a more relaxed one and also I know their views. Its literally just, no one is good or bad. There are good and bad actions. Plus you're, if not a Jesus freak, then some other religious freak which means you'll cherrypick a whole bunch. So yeah Jesus is your main foundation for this opinion. You didnt use Allah as an example or Yaweh or Ra or any other religious God. Go suck a Bible bro

I could go Buddhist freak if it helps.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior you're supposed to undertake a path that allows you to see the good that you and act and the good that you don't. So you could see through your own b******* and thus choose whether to be a fake person or a real person. I choose to be a real person, of course I'm not 100% good because no one can be, but kinder and more of a friend than most I would say.

Meh. A thief thinks everybody steals. You can't see yourself as a good person, so you can't see anyone else as any better than you. And all the Jesus propaganda is just that. It's something unattainable for everyone to reach for.

I think you're confusing good with perfect, God declared the whole Creation good in the beginning, so one might conclude all of Creation is part of Himself, if no one is good but God

Humans were called good after creation, but then the fruit was eaten and paradise shattered

by Anonymous 1 day ago

According to Solomon man was created incorruptible, and you'd have to say that Jesus was saying He wasn't good to support your logic, which makes no sense, since He and the Father are One. The only logically consistent conclusion is that everyone is good, but prone to committing to false beliefs (sin) which leads to committing evil. So while you might commit evil it does not make you evil, it just makes your works evil

by Anonymous 1 day ago

So while you would be correct that people have many flaws, this does not mean they are not good, and it does mean we are born good, and children should be treated with faith that they are good

by Anonymous 1 day ago

I hate Putin for reasons. It's situational. I might hate Drump but he seems like a muppet. He's not in control and lacks true responsibility. Not sure if it's hate or just a dull disgust and disappointment I feel concerning him and people like him. On the other hand I might hate those who claim to be trans who are actually just weird posers, but they might also be suffering from identity issues we don't yet recognize. I can't hate them. Billionaires? I can't hate them. I'd be like them if I had a chance for it.

In a way, I get what you're saying. No one is perfect, everyone has a bad side, we do bad things because we're human. This reminds me of something my bf talked about with me, he told me that the perfect human has four arms, four legs, two heads and two hearts. God had to split up the perfect human into two to make one human and that human was imperfect, had flaws and had a bad side. Good and bad do exist in people, perfection does not, we are made who we are from experience as well, experience pushes us down a path we must take in order to see what kind of person we are and who we're meant to be in the mean time. We change, we grow and we adapt and evolve. Human beings CAN be good they CAN be bad, we can all be something.
