Devil, you need God's power to be good. We know right from wrong innately. That's not what God is for. Abraham had to be shown God does not demand human sacrifice, as the Amorite Religion required it. Except once, through God's Son, which God says Jehovah Jireh. He will provide. But our conscience bears witness to that, and the Bible bears witness to our conscience.

Slavery is a kindness on those who cannot understand or know how to take care of themselves. Or it's there to reprove the wicked for their crimes. It also was the only way to keep large cities fed. We don't need it now, as we have industrial machinery.

God talks more about charity than anything else. That's why I believe.

The wars God caused man to fight brought peace, though. Sin grows too severe sometimes, where the next time, God will have to destroy it Himself, like He did in Noah's day. But in Moses' day, He delivered the people of Israel through the beach, and defeated Pharaoh, and caused the next generation to war with Canaan, as they were in deep sin, which caused deep suffering. In Christ's day, He died and raised, and persuaded the entire Roman empire, through the peace of His servants' righteousness. But now, we cannot war anymore. We have to win through persuasion. Like it were in Rome, again, and maybe by our own blood.

We don't know who burns in hell. God is Judge not I. No, I don't know who's going to hell. Or who's going to heaven. Nobody does. The nations will join themselves with Israel, so there's no way to tell. God's Word is extolled above even Himself, so those who love righteousness, I believe have grace, so long as they find Christ, and His power. There is one name, and all other roads are wicked. There is only one gate, but few shall find it. I believe righteousness compels the LORD to find you, though, and move all things to bring you to Him, and gather you, as a Hen does its flock.

But He resurrected, confirming His witness. Josephus names His brother, James, dying for the testimony that Christ raised from the dead. Not to mention, myriads of Church history--we know a lot about the apostles--they died believing too, having met and ate, and lived a very intimate and close life with Him. And they saw Him ascend. And Thomas put His hands into His wounds, being slain by red hot irons after not perishing in a furnace. So it could only be Christ. That's confirmation of His moral teachings.

The Gospels are the evidence. They're more reliable and closer to the source than Plutarch. And we have far more manuscripts to compare and understand, and make a complete documentation of the scripture. We know this through Papias who it was who wrote the Gospels of Mark, Matthew and John, and Luke we know accompanied Paul, who knew James, Peter, John and through John Mary.

Well, consider, if you weren't going to hell, the LORD would draw you to Himself. You couldn't be removed even if Satan employed Seraphim to blaspheme God's holiness through your prophetic organs. Which Satan has done, as I've witnessed through reading about the martyrs. If the LORD has chosen you, He knows your heart already, and will save you because He has instilled His righteousness within your heart, and has proved you love His law. There is no work, but a change of heart. The LORD is sovereign, and is the one Who causes change.

It's not your deeds, but your state of heart. Hell happens because you've rejected the Holy Spirit, and cannot have a share of God's righteousness, nor His peace. If you cannot have God's peace, where will you go? What will you have? God is the source of all good. So you ultimately can have no good if you choose to reject Him.

There's no work in heaven. It's a restoration of Eden, with Hephzibah as your Eve or for women the LORD as their Husband, and the Lord's Mind, Soul and Spirit so you can never have any more sin. You become like God, and have power to judge, and are made into clans and nations. It's the restoration of the mistake made by Adam and Eve, only saved through Christ, and given a resurrected form like Himself.

[I]nfinity is a difficult concept. Like, calculus assumes an infinite to divide and get a correct solution--which is a lot like how I understand faith to be.

Like, it's just so hard for people to understand. You can have infinites in one dimension, that are smaller than infinites in two, which are smaller than infinites in three... and so forth. I think everyone should take a basic Algebra class, to understand that stuff.

But, why we know Christ is LORD, is what He spoke. I learned for 30 years--since I was 5--and was in intensive education, first in school and then on my own. Jesus had none of that. He was from Galilee, poorer than you know. We have houses unearthed in Galilee, they'd be the size of my living room. The Psalmist says He had no bed, and was thrown out of His house. He was homeless... and kind of struggling mentally with that, too. You see He's stressed out in His ministry, but He always keeps composure. He's not Schizophrenic at all. I am... but He's not. He's fully cognizant and in a time without medications, so His condition could only get worse and not better if He were crazy. And nothing shows that He was. Not anything we've seen about Him. And He was just an extremely gifted human being. Fully salient, fully in His right mind, and performing miracles. Jesus is the Son of God, for those reasons.

I think this is what true Christianity looks like. I don't think he's boasting at all, but signaling what it means to genuinely repent. I deleted a ton of bootlegged songs--about 1000--I stopped playing violent video games, I stopped cussing for the most part--sometimes one slips--I stopped masterbating and watching porn--now the Lord gives me dreams which I don't like, but some have been prophetic, I guess my shadow has to be purged there, where it's lawful--I can't watch movies practically, unless they're utmost pure, like the Wizard of Oz. I did watch 8 Crazy Nights recently, and About Time. I hide my eyes at the nudity and fast forward through the sex scenes. I mean, I'm not hyper vigilant and so afraid to sin that I despair every time I do it... But I do think this is what it means to be saved. And also to have a charitable heart for giving, and showing kindness as it's not just about what you don't do, but also how you care about other people.

But some things I've stopped doing also--that many Christians do--is judging and prophesying and using spiritual curses. I think Christians do this, and it's akin to black magic, when you cast and heap judgment on people. You are taught to do this, by reading the Old Testament, but Christ frees us from that curse, and our job isn't to yoke believers or unbelievers to that curse, but unyoke them and yoke them to Christ.

True salvation is marked by not wanting to sin. Like, it hurts to do it, and you just don't want to. Also an unwillingness to use deception, or lie, and cheat and steal. And also self sacrifice, willing to risk yourself if it means helping someone else. And being open and vulnerable, as Christ was an Open Conservative.

So, I think Christians judge a lot, and condemn, and vilify, and especially are antagonistic against Creativity. Like, it's either "Holy of Holies" or "Profane." There's no Michelangelo or C. S. Lewis or Tolkien allowed anymore. William Blake is Anathema, and only the Bible exists to teach us. That's simply not true... you need to derive correct analysis of the Bible to help you interpret other people, but generally, you learn a lot from other people, and reflecting what they say through the Bible. And embracing when they might have a clear point.

Like I learn a lot from Emily Dickenson. About a stale faith, that tortured people with what it forbade, and didn't let people express their creativity or be a little bit different. That's just as bad as a faith that lets every conceivable thing happen, so long as it's not breaking the State's Law, it doesn't matter. The Bible is a higher law, reflected in the conscience. It's not a legality, but a reflection of man's natural state of Justice. And I think we can go a little overboard with it, which is why I think the Bible can be unproductive for some people's faith, and a hindrance to it.

But, Isaiah's faith is exemplary. I wouldn't fault him for trying to live righteously, or anyone for that matter. That's why we have the Bible in the first place.
