Question for you. Do you recognize more Progressive Christian Churches are dying? If you agree with this premise. Have you studied why they are dying? In order for this church to work I think you need to articulate why progressive Christian churches are dying and what are you going to do differently with the church of Korihor
I didn't. All churches that rely on membership are, though. Can you enlighten me? I don't actually follow the Church space much, apart from news about how the LDS Church is changing, which has been an interesting advent. I sincerely want to know about this Progressive Christian Church failure. Are you suggesting that they are failing because of so-called "go woke, go broke"?
it all came down to .. in the end Jacob gets to believe... because... because, he believes in something higher. nebulous bs. and then implies that people who don't will become nihilist and go to hell. an hour and a half just to say... i am right and you go to hell.
The gun analogy is interesting, but I still think prioritizing the truth is the most important. Treating or pretending a gun is loaded is the safest course of action when it comes to gun safety even though I know the truth is that it’s not loaded. However, what if an intruder breaks into my house to attack me? Should I treat my gun as loaded even though I know it’s not? Of course not! I would act on the truth that my gun is unloaded so I take the action to load it for my own safety. Acting as if the gun was loaded when it’s not isn’t always beneficial. Just in the same way as acting as god exists when he might not isn’t always beneficial and in fact can cause harm. Knowing the truth is what enables people to act in a way that will benefit them the most.
Acting like God exists and loving others isn't a problem what is a problem is acting like you know what God wants better than someone else. God loves everyone and wants us to figure out what that means ourselves. Mine is building people up. I just don't know how to build people up.
@ billions of people interpret gods will billions of different ways, many times to the detriment of society. That’s the problem. Some people believe that god doesn’t love everyone. Some people are encouraged to do evil in the name of their god. They believe in their god just as much or more than you believe in yours.
@@gxgx1190 I'm aware of that which is why I wrote it the way I did. It's our responsibility to figure it out 😉 I can tell you have figured it out better than most which is why you are atheist. Sometimes the atheist is the person who has the most faith because they don't believe. As you can see I believe very differently. But I'm the type of person that perceives Thor Oden's son Baal son of El Zeus son of Kronos Yahweh son of El and Jesus Christ son of God the same spiritual entity. It's people who make things good or evil and not everyone understands it the same. Some people corrupt it entirely for ego. That doesn't mean God abandoned them it's quite the opposite they abandoned God. An atheist can be more faithful to God without belief in God than someone who claims to be a holy person for personal gain.
@@bobicusrex no, because you believe god loves everyone. Some people believe he doesn’t. What’s the common denominator? An unjustified belief in a higher being.
@gxgx1190 yes I do believe God loves everyone. I also believe that an atheist who loves others has more faith than a believer who abuses others. Like I said my perspective is different.

Ha. But to my face so there's that.
