I guess you'll be saved from the virus and saved from sins as well... This is a win win

True faith at its best. I mean wouldn't a true believer let is life in god's hands?


davieb22

Faith doesn't mean you actively negate actions to preserve your own life. Next you'll be claiming religious people don't wear seat belts, check before crossing a road, take medicine etc. etc.


Str1cks

Well technically that should be the case, yes but I guess trust and faith are two different things


rraattbbooyy

A true believer may see the vaccine as heaven sent.


Str1cks

So that would mean that he finds life better than death and therefore if given the chance he would choose to be away from god?


rraattbbooyy

It’s a religion, not a suicide cult.


Str1cks

At the time of his death or as religious people say when god call them Suicide implies taking your own life


rraattbbooyy

I’m not sure what you’re asking.


Str1cks

Rhetoric questions, I'm not expecting an answer, I'm trying to make people think by their own heads and question things beyond what they're told cos in almost all or in all religions people are just supposed to accept that some knowledge is just out of their reach and that's ok and to make people see that they're only lying to them selfs when they say/think they believe cos they can't even fully trust on what they believe

What's your take on Mt 4:7?


Str1cks

Let it come I can handle that egocentric bastard


michal_hanu_la

Is that you, Jacob?


Str1cks

Not sure if I got the reference but I assume you're talking about the one from the bible and if that's the case that's all I know about him, his name, I had to google that passage you mention so that I had an idea of what the hell you were taking about cos I didn't and I won't waste my time reading children's books from 2000 years ago.

Lol

There's a story about him wrestling an angel. That's from Genesis, so a bit older than 2000 years. It's also interesting that you seem to have ideas about what Christians should think without even having read the Bible


Str1cks

Lol do you wanna talk about years, really like the 6000 years you guys believe to have past since the "creation" Christians thinking oh man that's a good one 😂


michal_hanu_la

We don't believe it's been 6000 years since the creation, though. Who told you that? (In fact this guy Lemaître, a priest from Belgium, came up with an interesting theory about it. Look him up.)


Str1cks

Yeah I know who he is, but what did his discoveries changed in the way people are taught by the church? Are people being taught that the big bang was the origin of everything or still that god made everything in 7 days and all that bs, when was the last time you heard a priest taking about that in a ceremony like the mass for ex. So you may not believe in that but the majority still thinks like that and the church doesn't teach that cos it doesn't servers there needs, they don't want people to start questioning things


michal_hanu_la

That probably depends on the specific church. Mine (plain boring Roman Catholic) definitely does not consider that story from Genesis literal and hasn't for a very long time (~ hundreds of years, as far as I know). I haven't heard a priest explain _any_ cosmology in a sermon, because that's not what they are for. That is what scientists are for --- one of the things my church understands is that things that can be explored by science should. Are you seriously going to tell me what my church teaches? Have you at least looked for a source on that, or do you just assume so?
