Religion v. Christianity v. Atheism/Secular Humanism & Faith?

Debate Information

Religion is not based in faith...Religions like Islam, Judaism, Catholicism, are based in a works doctrine where the individual seeks a relationship with a particular deity via self-righteousness, efforts to conform to a set of rules or laws sufficiently in order to ingratiate themselves with said deity.

Christianity is the only "faith based" system in existence that teaches the truism that human kind is not capable of working or striving sufficiently to please Elohim (Genesis 1:1); this, due the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12) but that Elohim, Himself, provides the Path to intimate relationship with Him through self-less love demonstrated by Messiah Jesus on a Roman Cross some 2000-years ago (John 3:16).

There are also demonically-rooted "religions" such as Atheism, Darwinism-Evolution and Secular Humanism which also display great "faith" in that they tout a rejection of any deity yet believe that all things present within the Realm of Time, all things present in nature, manifest from nothing which exploded...this is the greatest "faith" of all.

    RICKEYHOLSTCLAW,
    the number one BIBLE INEPT FOOL and RUNAWAY of Jesus' words within this Religion Forum,


    YOUR QUOTE TO JOSEPH THAT "OWNS" YOUR RELIGION BECAUSE OF YOUR EVER SO WANTING REFUTATIONS IN RETURN!:
    "Slavery has been an institution of choice subsequent Adam...so what? Your obfuscation concerning a facade of outrage over Biblical slavery will not mitigate your culpability before our Creator at your Judgment. Jesus is the Key to Life."

    YES, Slavery has been an "institution of choice," therefore since your Jesus as god stated explicitly that slavery is accepted in your Bronze and Iron Age of thinking JUDEO-Christian bible, then why don't you have any slaves helping you out with your ungodly family?


    RICKEY, how does it feel in 2024 where your Jesus as god still allows his JEWISH Creation to not only own slaves, BUT, WHERE JESUS SAID YOU ARE TO BEAT THEM HARSHLY as shown in this verse below!:

    JESUS SAID: "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more." (Luke 12:47-48)


    RICKEY, THE ATHEISTS IN THIS RELIGION FORUM EASILY OWN YOU AND YOUR PRIMITIVE BRONZE AND IRON AGE THINKING FAITH OF CHRISTIANITY, PERIOD!  ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME THAT YOU TAKE ANOTHER NEEDED "VACATION" FROM THIS RELIGION FORUM TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM CONTINUED FURTHER EMBARRASSMENT, WHERE YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE YOUR BIBLE STUPIDITY IS WITHOUT BOUNDS!

    I didn't say they did. The fact that you don't read truthful responses to your nonsense is proof positive your god only chooses the stoopid to follow it. God creates calamity then saves the dumb from itself. Your god doesn't hide that fact and fall for it hook line and sinker. Ever with you were as smart as me?

    JESUS SAID: "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

    @RickeyHoltsclaw ;

    RickeyHoltsClaw, the number one Bible Stu-pid fool of this Religion Forum,

    THE BIBLE DEBATE STARTS NOW ON SLAVERY THAT IS CONDONED BY JESUS AND THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BIBLE!



    YOUR RUNAWAY REFUTATION TO THE MAIN TOPIC OF SLAVERY WHICH IS JESUS CONDONING SLAVERY IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS!!!:
      "I have no problem with Elohim's dictates concerning slaves in the Old Covenant."

    Huh? You have no problem with how slavery is spoken about in the Old Testament here in the 21st century? WOW!
    So, you are okay in the way Jesus' inspired words as god wrote about how one is to treat their slaves in the OT as shown below?!  Really? 

    1. “When a man strikes his slave, male or female, WITH A ROD and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money." (Exodus 21:20-21)

    2.  “When a man strikes the eye of his slave, male or female, and destroys it, he shall let the slave go free because of his eye. If he knocks out the tooth of his slave, male or female, he shall let the slave go free because of his tooth." (Exodus 21:26-27)

    3. Now these are the rules that you shall set before them.  When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing.  If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.  If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out alone. But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the door post. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever." (Exodus 21:1-6)

    4.  “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do." (Exodus 21:7)


    Okay, you are now on record IN THIS DEBATE saying that you are just fine in the way slaves were treated in the Old Testament as you stated in your quote above:

    Whereas as shown above, you agree today in the 21st century, that slaves should be BEATEN with rods, and if the master strikes the slave's eye and destroys it, that is okay with you, and you are additionally okay with HEBREW slaves being purchased for 6 years, and if the slaves wife had children, the master keeps said children and the wife, furthermore, if a man sells his daughter as a slave, that is okay with you!!!


    I have just started with your complete Bible ineptness on Slavery, now it is your turn to "try" and refute what I have brought forth in making you the sickening pseudo-christian that you are in agreeing with Jesus as god in how he wrote about slavery above in the Old Testament that you agree with at the onset!  YOU ARE DEPLORABLE!

    However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

    YOUR SPIN-DOCTORED SATANIC QUOTE RELATIVE TO SLAVERY IN MY POST LINKED BELOW REGARDING BIBLE SLAVERY!!!: "You have commingled slavery and indentured servitude"
    https://www.debateisland.com/discussion/comment/183148/#Comment_183148

    RICKEY, Wrong again BIBLE FOOL, the slaves in my post that you are running away from were NOT repaying their Jewish Slave Masters under any contract, because they were purchased by their Jewish "Slave Masters" to begin with as "property", therefore NO indentured servitude! GET IT? HUH?  MAYBE?

    Indentured Servitude:  is a form of labor where an individual is under contract to work without a salary to repay an indenture or loan within a certain timeframe.


    Therefore you are a LYING SOB again in front of Jesus (Hebrews 4:13), and you are a COWARD in running away from the truth in my post link above, and therefore you will pay upon your Judgment Day as the verse below by Jesus as god so states, praise your Jesus' revenge upon you!

    But as for the COWARDLY the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, AND ALL LIARS, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)


    Rickey, tell the membership in how you now feel in being shown as a blatant COWARD and a L*IAR, where you will now go to the sulfur lakes of Hell upon your earthly demise as Jesus states in the verse above! ......  Ready?
