The 144,00p is not until after the antichrist dude. "Christ's party rooom?" The bible actually gives exact dimensions of the new Jerusalem. Where in the bible does it say to give 10% of your salary to the church?
You rant about "how stupid people can be" yet have demonstrated ignorance. It's funny how you think you know something and developed all kinds of beliefs and ideas based on fiction and fallacy.
Ha ha ha! YOU follow the 10 Commandments? LOL! OK, well perhaps you should learn how to read because I laid out the differences between Christians and Catholics in plain English. But hey, go read your own Catholic doctrine because you obviously haven't, and if you did, you'd know what I said to ve true. Walk into any Catholic church and see if there aren't any idols. Go look up the 2nd Commandment little guy. Next time you vnerate the Virgin Mary, go look up the 1st Commandment. next time you use rosary beads, try to find anything of that kind in the bible. next time you go to confession, try reading the book of Acts or gospel of John.
The question is, where on earth are YOU getting your info? It's funny how uneducated people always think they know something, and no matter how you spell things out for them, they keep thinking they know so mich they can ridicule an educated peraon. It's like you're totally oblivious to the complete nonsense and hypocrisy you just spewed.
You say you follow the same bible? Then try reading it for once. You say you're a Catholic, then that means you've adopted Catholic doctrine. Go read Galatians 1:8.
Sorry but you wouldn't have the capacity to debate me if you studied day and night for 20 years. If you were smart, you'd learn something instead of thinking you know something despite never having made the effort to educate yourself.
Here is the thing... the bible doesn't have to say anything in particular because it can be interpreted so many different ways. As such, living people have abused it's words and the interpretation thereof since the inception of written word. The 10% rule is implied by many cults and organizations and people are guilted into it through the passing around of collection plates in churches or through privilege and other promises. How do you think the Catholic Church is so wealthy? They steal from the poor and work with the rich or the state. There is a system at play and it is as old as the stories you believe. Also please tell me the exact dimensions of Jerusalem and HOW those dimensions will still be the same given that the population has risen well beyond what someone could have imagined over a thousand years ago. So the way I see it, is that my points of view have been proven by countless wars and history as well as what we know about most churches vs YOUR INTERPRETATION of what you think the literature you cling to says is truth. Which is more scientific I wonder? Experience and fact, or story time? There is no way you don't come out as looking ignorant here.
I give you credit for being well read and having spent the time scouring books and religions across the globe, but unfortunately you seem to speak in absolute truths just like every cult or religious leader before you has. You are referencing the bible... once again, a body of work that relies heavily on spoken stories and interpretation. NONE of it can be proven to be the absolute truth. It's value lies in the guidelines it can provide people for living a better and more honest life, not the exact blueprints on how you MUST live that life to attain a very uncertain future which in itself, is a promise based on " faith" vs fact.
Now, please tell me the REAL version of christianity that I should look for. I want you to tell me the name of the denomination, sect, group, etc that I should look for. Then give me an hour or two and I bet I can find members of that organization who were sexually/physically abused, brain washed, or disgruntled because they gave their life savings away to some Messiah who was self proclaimed. I'm ready to receive your wisdom, lay it on me or else you have nothing more to add to this than INTERPRETATION.
At this point, I am guessing you are a Jehovah's witness. Do we have a winner?
