Jesus' Teachings... wrong?
21 Replies
I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but I just need to ask about it. The teachings of Jesus are supposedly written in the Bible and known all over the world to this very day. One of the most…Continue

Haley Blanchard replied to DizzyMerm!'s discussion Best Anime ever?"I think it's too hard to choose ONE best anime ever, because there is such a large variety to choose from. Some people would choose some sort of Romance anime while another might choose a mecha.
For me, personally, it suppose it is a tie…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"The definition of love is not really the point, here. I was saying what if someone truly believed in God and did many good deeds in order to obtain eternal bliss in the afterlife?
Your mistake is that good deeds will not get you bliss in the…"

Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"^Is that website sufficient for you? Matthew 19:28-30.
No it isn't. This section is describing what Heaven is like. It isn't describing how you get there.
I understand your point. However, what if the action(s) is bad but the intention…"
Michael Lee replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"Personally since Jesus' teachings are derived from the Bible, which was written quite a while back, i dont believe there is any "beyond a reasonable doubt" proof that what it says is true. However, while yeah i could be wrong, i could…"
Haley Blanchard replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"
... A good thing for OURSELVES. Again, wanting to please God is all well and good, but the ulterior motive- a spot in Heaven-- is not.

Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"The teachings of Jesus are supposedly written in the Bible and known all over the world to this very day. One of the most famous ones is the following: if you do good in life on earth than you shall be rewarded with the Kingdom of Heaven.

Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"If that's not nit-piking, I don't know what is.
Hint, its not. Someone was saying that they liked Jesus's teaching. I gave an example of Jesus's teaching that is less popular (the idea that no one can get to heaven except…"
Carissa Mahorney replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"I honestly think temptation and peer pressure are not in themselves bad, they are amoral concepts. The intent of the tempter/person influencing and the outcome are what makes it either good or bad. Peer pressure to do good, is a…"
Haley Blanchard replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"You're right; I should have specified if what portion of Christianity I was talking about.

Haley Blanchard replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"Would you rather me call you a wanker?
^ If that's not nit-piking, I don't know what is. It sounds very argumentative to me. Almost as if you're questioning his intelligence. Your reply to my post sounds like you're looking…"
Fake Crowley replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"Possibly.
There are two possibilities for how we should take his teachings: One, he knows our every action and has predicted that what he taught--and, in fact, every single action he ever made--will lead us to paradise, no matter how we…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Haley Blanchard's discussion Jesus' Teachings... wrong?"I am not nit-picking. Nit-picking implies taking insignificent aspects to someone's answer and focusing on them. Someone claimed they liked Jesus's message. I asked about it, and we had a discussion. Please provide proof that this is…"
Profile Information
- What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?
- I'm the stereotypical nerdfighter.
- About Me:
- My name is Haley and I am a Nerdfighter. I discovered John and Hank's videos on YouTube a while ago and recently decided to watch all of them so I understand all of the Nerdfighter terminology. If that doesn't make me a nerd fighter, I don't know what does.
I am in my school's band, choir, and drama club and take honors classes as well as an AP course. I am a huge fan of the normal nerdy stuff, including (but not limited to): Anime/Manga, FanFiction, and books like Harry Potter or Looking For Alaska. I am klutzy and awkward, lacking in the physical strength department, and prefer being by myself instead of friends or family.
I suppose the only other thing I should put here is the instrument I play. I have been playing the drums since I was about 7 and continue to play and share my talent with others. I often play music with friends and have a band with several friends that will hopefully work out. Another friend and I plan on making a percussion-based piece for our school band's spring concert after watching this show called "Blast!" I am learning to play the guitar as well as the Alto Horn.
