Christianity is an awesome religion; but sadly, Christian theology seem to be ambiguous, and deceptive
Christianity is an awesome religion. The problem with Christianity, is that it’s theology often amounts to
shameless incoherence, mixed with a hefty dose of arbitrary hairsplitting [things you would normally expect
to come from a shrewd politician, and not from a God of justice, truth, and certainty]. Consider a few
examples:
(1) While on one hand Christianity claims that Adam and Eve were initially immortals [even though God had
587
asked them to get marry, and beget children]; on the other hand it will tell you that immortal beings don’t
ever get marry, or beget any children (“But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the
resurrection from the dead NEITHER MARRY NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE, FOR THEY CAN NO
LONGER DIE...”- Luke 20:35-36, Christian Standard Bible).
(2) While on one side, Christianity will tell you there is no truth in the demon (“He was a murderer from the
beginning and does not stand in the truth, because THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM”- John 8:44, Christian
Standard Bible); On the other side it will tell you the demon truthfully declares Jesus to be the Son of God
(“Also, DEMONS WERE COMING OUT OF MANY, SHOUTING AND SAYING, “YOU ARE THE SON
OF GOD!”- Luke 4:41, Christian Standard Bible).
(3) While on one hand, Christianity will tell you that Jesus had a God (“But go to my brothers and tell them
that I am ascending to my Father and your Father, TO MY GOD AND YOUR GOD”- John 20:17, Christian
Standard Bible), on the other hand it will tell you that Jesus himself was God (“while we wait for the blessed
hope, the appearing of the glory of OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST”- Titus 2:13,
Christian Standard Bible)
(4) While on one hand, Christianity will tell you the Jewish leaders should not be obeyed, as they represent
their father the Devil (“… YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL, and you want to carry out your
father’s desires...”- John 8:44); on the other hand it will tell you the Jewish leaders ought to be obeyed, as
they represent Moses (“THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES ARE SEATED IN THE CHAIR OF
MOSES. THEREFORE DO WHATEVER THEY TELL YOU, AND OBSERVE IT”- Matthew 23:2,
Christian Standard Bible)
(5) While on one side Christianity will tell you everlasting life is achieved by obeying the commandments
(“… IF YOU WANT TO ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS”- Matthew 19:17), on the
other side it will tell you everlasting life isn’t achieved by obeying any commandment but rather by faith
(“FOR YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH… NOT FROM WORKS, SO THAT NO ONE
CAN BOAST”- Ephesians 2:8-9, Christian Standard Bible)
In short, just a you would expect to happen when dealing with any shrewd life insurance salesperson [or
crafty politician], Christian theology has been purposely designed to be ambiguous, and uncertain. Why? So
that you are always given “the short end of the stick”, whenever the product you have been sold into fails to
deliver as promised.
Think of the first Christian believers- they eagerly embraced the faith, and sold everything they had (“Now
all the believers were together and held all things in common. THEY SOLD THEIR POSSESSIONS AND
PROPERTY AND DISTRIBUTED THE PROCEEDS TO ALL, as any had need”- Acts 2:44-45). Why
would they give up their propeties? Simply because they were promised that Jesus return would be imminent
(«He who testifies about these things says, “YES, I AM COMING SOON”»- Revelation 22:20).
And why wouldn’t they just abandon the faith, once they have realized they were broke, and Jesus return still
wasn’t in sight? Very simple! They were given the tricky “short end of the stick”; In other words, they were
brazenly [and shamelessly] told that “… WITH THE LORD, ONE DAY IS LIKE A THOUSAND
YEARS...”- 2 Peter 3:8, Christian Standard Bible. No wonder shady and unclean spirits love to proclaim this
faith! («… A CERTAIN DAMSEL POSSESSED WITH A SPIRIT OF DIVINATION met us… and CRIED,
SAYING, “THESE MEN ARE THE SERVANTS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, WHICH SHEW UNTO US
THE WAY OF SALVATION”»- Acts 16:16-17, King James Version).
