If YOU believe in God, YOU must believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that it is accurate.

I don't have to believe in any such thing..........especially if it was written by man.

The universe was indeed created by a God and mankind has always struggled to explain how and why.

What makes your bible, that was written by man, the arbiter of religious truth, and should make all the other religions of this earth that believe in the almighty irrelevant?

It seems you have some special insight that is contrary to Scripture, so, yes.

Why?

So what is the correct understanding of God?

No game. Scripture teaches women should not teach men. Scripture teaches only men should serve as pastors.

Please tell me about what you think correct religion is.

What is taught in Scripture and summarized in the creeds and the Reformed Confessions.

Above you have hinted you don't trust the Bible, so what do you believe?

Do you believe something that has a 1 in 10 followed by 39 zeros chance of happening can rule out chance/accidental? [ a fraction written as 1 / 1039 ]

Better yet, you tell me which is the perfect religion of the world and why yours is superior to all the others.

Christianity

Hinduism

Buddhism

Sikhism

Judaism

Baha"ism

Confucianism

Jainism

Shintoism

All the above profess a belief in a supreme being, or God, and all have the same goal for mankind..........

So what makes you think that your own bible, written by men, is superior to the teachings and their own bibles of all the other above religions?

Since I'm not good at math, perhaps you could tell me what you're talking about.........

If an event is predicted a thousand years before it happens, or two thousand years before it happens, and the reality of space and time give that prediction a one in 10 followed by 39 zeros of happening, we can rule out chance / accidental. If I showed you just such a prophecy and in fact several of them, that actually happened, would that weigh on the ‘not accidental that God predicts things through His prophets, in scripture’ perspective to you?

No, not really considering that such alleged prophecies were again written by men in an attempt to add legitimacy to a specific religion.

Can you explain to me why the existence of all the other major religions in this world that I posted above? But most important, what makes their beliefs irrelevant to yours since the goal is the same?

Your ignorance is profound in asserting that the goal of all religions you named is the same. You’ve constructed quite an edifice for yourself. I’ll leave you to your mire.

Well you are getting beat up so let a passerby make a few observations:

The women converted “in 2014” which means she was around 30~31. Here career in porn was over, she was too old by that stage. She needed a new job. That she knew that is apparent by her study to be a paralegal.

The minister is supposed to be 26, which places him around 23~24 at the time when he met her. Hmmmm... Now a lot of men who grew up in innocent families are not wise to the ways of “women of dubious reputation”. I have seen (NCO days) young men who were preyed upon by older professionals. Not saying what happened, but the fact is an actress who is attractive and able to indulge the men in activities they have not experienced in their innocent lives is able to get what they want. Seen it and in no case was the female a “hooker with a heart of gold” far from it.

The female in question now says she has a calling....a cynical man might say she is seeking to replace one acting career with another. Of course it could be genuine. If so her actions would show evidence of change. What do we see?

1) she has no regrets, is that evidence of a change of heart? repentance is the start.

2) She takes no responsibility for her poor choices. Getting knocked up at 16 does not mean you have to be come a porn star. Fact is she wanted to, it is easy job with high pay for little work if you are 18 to 25. Her tale of victimization is not taking responsibility for her choices.

3) I know a lot of folks who had a calling mid-life. Most of them spent many years in study and reflection before they moved into some kind of lower role within their church. They do not make, nor would then have made the jump to a leadership role 18 months after their supposed turning away form wickedness. Again they would not have accepted it, they knew they needed more time to study and understand the word before they taught.

4)She wants to preach, when anyone who has read the scripture knows that if off limits to her. But that is a way to make a steady income once the porn gig is done, and again a position where she is the center of attention. Highly self-serving.

5) The willingness to create a new church where one is the authority: That speaks of arrogance, considering she had 18 to 20 month at best of enlightenment. It is very consistent with a person serving themselves but not their fellow mankind.

Of course she could be genuine but anyone with any discernment would be very dubious of this women and her actions. One must be on the watch for wolves that would seek to come in and lead the flock astray. This seems by all indications to be a she wolf.

Hot Tabasco,
Only one of those religions on your list profess that another one of those ‘religions’ on your list, has had their ‘bible’ become flesh.

In fact, there are more of ‘Judaism’s’ books in the Christian bible than ‘Christian’ books..

But what was prophesied in Judaim’s bible was revealed and declared in the Christian New Testament. And that is the Promised Messiah of Israel, the New Covenant and forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

That doesn’t make Christianity perfect.. ‘Judaism’s’ bible predicted that Christianity wouldn’t be perfect at all..

The Blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, who died on God’s Passover, about 2,000 years ago, can free us from the bondage of sin.

But it hasn’t kept Christianity (or the world) from wandering in the wilderness for ‘40 years’ (see Israel’s law of Jubilee years) just like Israel did, after they had been delivered out of bondage in Egypt;by the blood of lambs, on the very 1st Passover.

The Promised Messiah of Israel, prophesied in Judaism’s bible, has come-a couple thousand years ago.. Judaism mostly rejects that Truth.

The Creator’s very own Creation that He told ‘Judaism’ He made for signs, appointed times, days and years (Genesis 1:14)- declares the ‘Christian’ bibles proclamations.

the past detailed in Judaism’s bible and the present and future detailed in Christianity’s bible, is proclaimed above our heads..

And He tells the ‘bible’ story above our heads, at His Feasts (like Passover), as a witness to a believing and unbelieving world..

Before it was ever written on parchment, by man inspired by the Holy Spirit, God Almighty, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, wrote it in His sky..
and it encompasses ‘Judaism’s’ bible of 39 books and Christianity’s bible of 27 books-
which is the 1st book of Genesis through to last book of Revelation.

Known by most as the Holy Bible..

All for His Glory!

It seems that if some one quits being a whore and becomes a preacher they get a lot more attention than some one who just quits being a whore.

I think you have to believe in order to be saved, if she believed she would refuse to be called a preacher.

1Tim 2:11-12

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Rev 2:20
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
