Today make a special anniversary for dc-agape.com, and for more than one reason.  The biggest reason to celebrate is that today is the anniversary of my start to this experiment.  I have actually posted 371 posts within that year.  I had hoped to get 9 posts per week, but being a grad student in the field of Chemistry has minimized the time I can allot for posting.  Adding to that is that my advisor wants me to finish in 3.5 years (most students take 4-5 years), publishing my first article, preparing a second article, finishing my matriculation into the PhD program, and just the normal day-to-day hassles.  I am happy to say that I was able to at least average a post a day! 

I have also reached the point where (even if it is robots and spammers) I have averaged over 50 hits per day on my RSS page.  I know that I only have 2-3 regular commenters, but there are a number of guest who continue to return without making a single comment.  I hope that I can change that and bring in more viewpoints and discussion.  I know that with more commenters I will have to enforce the policy of being tolerant, something that many people have difficulty with.  I certainly do not want to blacklist anyone!  But if new voices are not humble (Christians) or too arrogant (Atheist and Christian alike), I will be forced to intervene. 

This year alone, I have reached the point where 40 of my posts have reached the surprising level of 277 hits (that is averaging one hit per day – for the entire year…with many not written until very recently).  I was not sure if I would be a minor blog that had no subscriptions or if people would take not of my slightly different approach to the issue of communication between Atheist and Theist.  The dc-agape.com still is rather small, but it is obviously growing, should I ask for more?  That was, of course, one of the initial questions that the experiment was to address.  The data is still coming in for that part of the experiment.  Another aspect of the experiment was whether I could keep up the blogging (my own interest) with all the other competing demands for my time.  This seems to not be a problem.  With the addition of the Nag Hammadi Library, the Holy Qur’an, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, I will not end up getting bored, and will have an unlimited selection of source material for my posts.

One more additional interesting thing about this blog is the post that has had the top hits. That would be freewill-punishment-salvation. I knew that posting on the Biblical concept of freewill would spark interest, but it is interesting which of the many posts actually reached the highest number of hits.At this point, it is averaging over 13 hits per day, since I wrote it at the beginning of March, 2009.  What is most odd about this post is that it comes from the Dead Sea Scrolls!  To be exact it is from my reading of the Damascus Document.  And yet not a single comment has been made, neither spammer, nor hate, or nor agreement.  Does this mean that the tracking software that I am using is faulty?

As far as registrations to this website go…it is not a paltry number.  I have 315 users who have actually hit the registration button.  Now even if some of these are robots, that would indicate that some of you out there are actually interested in this project.  The question is how many?

Now comes the request to my elusive and quiet visitors.  I may be sorely embarrassed by the response to this request, but the time has come to make it anyway!  If you have subscribed to my RSS feeder, or even if this blog is something that you visit on that rare occasion, would you be so kind as to speak up?  If you would let me know even the barest details…which side you lean toward (between Theism and Atheism), what brought you to this blog, and what you would like to see changed (I am thinking of changing my host – 1&1 hosting is good for beginners, but it is limiting to what I can do on my own blog site).  If you want to add your contact information, blog site, etc go right ahead.

For all of you to enjoy!  A truly evil white “Christian” from the good old US of A who twists the Word of God to fit their definition of right and wrong!

Hello

Positive Christianity Versus Judeo-Christianity
by Charles Coughlin
For much of our lives, White Christians in America have not been taught REAL Christianity. Instead, television and the mass media have gradually influenced and twisted the teachings of organized churches in America. If we could travel back in time, and tell a preacher in the 1950s what would be taught as Christianity in the year 2001, he would be completely shocked and disgusted. Basically, most ministers and priests want to “fit in” with society. Most do not want to endlessly fight ALL the corrupting influence of the mass media for fear of becoming “controversial” figures. Most preachers want to collect donations every Sunday, have nice peaceful sermons once a week, and carry on their work with minimal fuss…. so they defend a few principles of Christianity while the TV corrupts everything else. These preachers should be teaching “Positive Christianity”, which is based on the Bible and eternal truth, not giving in to Judeo-Christianity, which reflects what liberal, amoral Jews want us to believe.
Unfortunately, most Americans have been brainwashed into accepting “Judeo-Christianity”, which tells White people that is “bad” to want to live in clean, safe, White neighborhoods free of the troubles that the average Blacks would bring, that it is “bad” to want your daughters to marry White men, that it is “bad” to hope that your son does not turn into a homosexual, and that it is “bad” to own a gun to defend yourself and your family from criminals. Judeo-Christianity has been created by liberal Jews, and it could easily be called “Negative Christianity”. Judeo-Christianity tells White people that everything, that they know in their hearts is good, is “bad” if it conflicts with what the Jews want us to believe.
In truth, the beliefs of liberalism are overwhelmingly anti-Christian, whereas the beliefs of pro-White Americans are much closer to real Christianity than anything else out there. This can be easily proven by taking very clearly worded passages directly out of the Bible from quotations directly from God, Himself, and Jesus Christ.
Who are the Chosen Ones?
First of all, the Jews are no longer the “Chosen Ones” and the reason that they were “chosen” can be found in the Bible and will be a surprise to most Americans. Judeo-Christianity teaches us that the Jews have some special relationship with God even though they murdered His prophets and killed the Son of God, Jesus Christ. We are just supposed to forget about the fact that almost all Jews consistently turned away from the teachings of God and ignored or even murdered His messengers.

  In John 8:44, Jesus tells the Jews “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own nature: for he is a liar, and the father of lies.” In Revelations 2:9, an angel of God tells St. John “I know the slander of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

  In Mark 2:17, in response to criticism from the Jewish elders, who complained that Jesus was spending time with lowly sinners, Jesus replied “They that are healthy have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Why did God first focus on the Jews of all the races on the planet? Surely, God knew that the Jews would kill many of His prophets, and there was no doubt that the Jews would kill His Son. Was God trying to give us a warning about the true nature of the Jews to protect us so that we would keep them out of Christian lands or keep them from taking over our mass media and government?

  An even more clear explanation that wipes away the notion of Jews still being the “chosen people” appears in the Parable of the Vineyard. In Luke 20:9 through 20:17, Jesus explains in unmistakable clarity, the notion of who is chosen and who isn’t:
“Then began He to speak to the people this parable; A landlord planted a vineyard, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country for a long time. And at the season he sent a servant to the tenants, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the tenants beat him, and sent away empty. And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated shamefully, and sent away empty. And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence when they see him. But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed . What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He shall come and destroy these tenants, and shall give the vineyard to others.”=20
Basically, the Parable of the Vineyard explains that the Jews were evil from the start. That God gave them a chance, and they murdered the people sent to them, namely the prophets and the Son of God, and that a new chosen people will be found because the first people were undeserving. The White Race accepted Christianity and clearly White people are the new chosen people, who have accepted God’s Word, and who deserve to be “Chosen Ones”.
What is God’s Position on Diversity and Interracial Breeding?
The liberal Jewish media endlessly tells us that “diversity is= good” regardless of the crime statistics, the genetic effects of= Whites breeding with inferior races, or how many times a better qualified= White is denied promotions and jobs so that a less qualified minority is= pushed ahead of him. Once again, what the Jewish media tells us is wrong= and in conflict with what God has told us. Specifically, God clearly tells= us in Leviticus 18, that “intermingling of seed” is forbidden.= The Bible refers to different races as different seeds. For example, the= Jews are called “the seed of Abraham” and the Blacks are called= “the seed of Ham”. God clearly prohibits “intermingling of= seed”, which means any interracial breeding.
Multi-racial societies have existed throughout world history. Ancient= Babylon was a “diverse” society that existed long ago, and which= God strongly disliked. The term “Babylon” is used throughout the= Bible to refer to corrupt, multi-racial societies. Ancient Rome was often= called a “Babylon”. In Revelations, there is a prediction of a= future powerful nation, that sounds very much like modern America. A battle= of good versus evil takes place in this future Babylon. In Revelations 18,= an angel of God tells St. John: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great,= the whore, who made all nations drink of her impure passion.” The word= “nation” was often used in the Bible in place of= “race”. The “impure passion” is interracial breeding.= Liberal Jews tell us that interracial breeding is good. God tells us that= it is bad.

Unfortunately, most Americans have been brainwashed into accepting “Judeo-Christianity”, which tells White people that is “bad” to want to live in clean, safe, White neighborhoods free of the troubles that the average Blacks would bring, that it is “bad” to want your daughters to marry White men, that it is “bad” to hope that your son does not turn into a homosexual, and that it is “bad” to own a gun to defend yourself and your family from criminals. Judeo-Christianity has been created by liberal Jews, and it could easily be called “Negative Christianity”. Judeo-Christianity tells White people that everything, that they know in their hearts is good, is “bad” if it conflicts with what the Jews want us to believe.

The question is, who is causing all the trouble? Why is our economy collapsing? Why are we fighting so many wars? Who are the REAL terrorists? Who’s behind the abortion slaughter? Who’s behind the nationalizing of American business? Who owns the federal reserve Bank (it is a privet bank)? Why do we pay interest on our own money?

This is my post about the errors that my second “Christian” commenters made.  This comment comes from a post on the Apocryphon of James.

21.  William Cody Bateman |  codybateman.org |

Your theology is terrible!

1. James and Peter, you correctly point out - were not “born of the Spirit” until AFTER Jesus’ ascension to heaven! They knew of Jesus Christ by words and deed but not kept by the Spirit Himself!

2. As the Son of Man (God in flesh) Jesus Christ came to the will of the Father (God the Father). But, He NEVER put off his Godhead as the Son of God! Therefore, it makes absolute sense that, speaking as the Son of Man - He would pray to God the Father and also, do the Father’s will.

3. Both James and Peter were warned by Jesus Christ PRIOR to Pentecost (God the Spirit coming and inpowering them) that they would be persecuted and inventually, put to death - though they were as innocent of any crimes like He, the Son of Man was.

4. Though you use a very liberal interpretation for your scripture references, it doesn’t change the fact that, as followers of Jesus Christ (born-again Christians by the working and indwelling of the Spirit Himself), no man or circumstance can separate them from the Love of God!

5. But, as believers - those adopted by God the Father through the blood of God the Son, Jesus Christ and kept by the power of God the Spirit unto the day of salvation - we are now become the enemies of this world!

6. I would suggest you read Hebrews 10, 11 and Acts 1-3 on these matters.

7. Lastly, those who claim to have been Christians at the start but now, reject Him as the Son of God and the only propiation for sin - were never born of the Spirit to begin with… or as Christ Himself proclaims; “I NEVER knew you!”

I will start with my reply:

21.  William Cody,
I was wondering if Zemanta would have this effect. I noticed a lot of your posts are recommended by Zemanta.

We agree on #1, but the problem is when did Jesus ascend? In the Book of Acts it was 40 days after his resurrection. In the Apocryphon of James (one of two Holy Texts ascribed to the brother of Jesus) it was 150 days. And Jesus did not appear to Paul until 6 months after his resurrection.

In #2, I think the comment that you are referring to is my analogy of YHWH to the head of a corporation, where the little guy (us) is replaceable.

In #3, Pentecost had already arrived when this story occurred. The contradiction is that in one section of the Apocryphon Jesus tells them that they will not be persecuted and then later tells them that they will be persecuted.

In #4, you are forgetting Heb 6:4-6 NIV translation. Followers can fall away, but they can never return! 

In #5, how I wish Christians were enemies to the world. In the US it is the exact opposite. Christians are the world, everyone else is the enemy. Christian control the world, they make the decisions in govt, schools, and even the military. And I thought they were supposed to “turn the other cheek”, “be feed and clothed like the sparrow by God” and “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar”.

In #6, how I wish Christians would read Hebrews 10:24, 11:26, and Act 2:42-47. Then I would see TrueChristian(TM).

In #7, I will only say that that is contradicted by Heb 6:4-6 and Luke 19:10 (seeking and save what was lost). Obviously, not everyone was lost or there would have been no need to seek.Please, remember, I am reading from the Nag Hammadi Library, it is not your conical Word of God. I am reading it to see how other Christian sects of the 1st century created and held their beliefs that became heretical.

I will do the same thing in each of these “usual suspect” posts.  I will use 2^nd Tim 3:16 as Paul recommends. I will admit that William Cody Bateman did attempt to do this.  But instead of giving direct verses he recommended reading entire chapters of the NT without emphasis on specific passages.

Let me put some color into what Cody has said.

#1)  The Holy Spirit had not entered James and Peter yet because Jesus had not ascended to heaven.  This boils down to the fact that James and Peter did not have freewill.  Only by having the Holy Spirit would they understand.  If that works for the apostles it must also work for us!

#2)  The passage from the Apocryphon of James describes how the Father does not need the Son and the Son does not need us peons.  But that we little morals have a need for the Son just like the Son need the Father.  This is exactly like Corporate America.  The boss does not need the workers, and thinks that the worker is easily replaced.  Yet to the worker he must please the boss or be fired.  With that analogy we see that Christianity’s concept of freewill is bogus.

#3)  In this section of the Apocryphon of James, Jesus at one point tells the apostles that they will not be persecuted and then he turns around a little later and tells them they will be treated just like he was.  This is a contradiction within only a few rows of each other.  Both statements are attributed to Jesus.  But remember, this is the Apocryphon of James…a Holy Text that was destroyed by “mainline” Christians over 1600 years ago. 

#4) Cody claims that we cannot be separated from YHWH.  Yet this statement is in direct contradiction to:

Heb 6:4-6 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of Man all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

This set of verse is quite clear.  Anyone can fall away from Christianity.  Unless you want to cherry pick which Bible verse you follow.  Then there is this one:

Mark 3:29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.

”So not only does the Word of God make it clear that Cody is wrong, but Jesus himself is quite blunt about the subject.

#5)  I will leave my remarks in my post as enough about Christians being the enemy of the world.  Other than starting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, I have seen no proof that American Christians are the enemy to the earth.  Unless, you trust scientist and agree that global warming is real.  Then I can see how Christians are enemies to the earth, but not taking care of it!

#6)  Let’s read some of the chapters that Cody recommends.  Starting with Act, it is a favorite of mine, the whole section is worth are read (Acts 2:42-47), but focus on this:

Acts 2:44-45 All the believers were together and had everything in common.  Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.

You just don’t see that today!  But I sure wish we did.  Instead, we see power corrupt “christians” making bad decisions in business, govt, and education. They are not sharing anything with anyone!

How about the passages from the Book of Hebrews? In chapter 10 we can read about how the author(s) of the Book of Hebrews suggests this:

Heb 10:24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

Instead of following this verse, we see “christians” doing the exact opposite.  The Phelps family is a great example, the California Prop #8 is another example.  Both these cases are examples of Christians treating other people with hatred and spurring their own followers to do evil deeds.  In the past “christians” have done the same thing with mixed racial marriages and with slavery.

In a few verses down from that last one we read this:

Heb 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

We certainly do not see many “Christians” following this verse.  How many continue to sin after being “saved”?  How many use the cop-out “it wasn’t deliberate”?  Come on Christians, us Atheist, especially us gay Atheist, need to see some real change.  Otherwise, your religion is a lie.

7) I think I have covered this one well enough.  It’s the old, and moldy, “you just never really knew Jesus” line that the believer will use on any of us that have converted from Christianity to Atheism.  Between my points on freewill and being able to fall away….that just about covers it.

In the end, any comments made on this blog that disagree with a gay Atheist interpretation of the Word of God needs to have some heavy back-up.  That back-up had better be specific verses.  Those verse had better be to the point and clearly not in contradiction to another verse in the Word of God.

In my posting comment policies I have made it quite clear that anyone who posts should check their references.  Twice this week I have had “Christian” commenters that did not bother to do just that.  I will make two posts about this error.

1.     A strong believer in Christ

We all have a free will God cannot make us do anything, we are the one’s who choose to do evil or good. God has to let us choose for that is why he created us to serve HIM he did not want to force us, so please next time you try to say that someone or something forced you to do something just know that one day we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ alone with no one else to blame but ourselves. May God Bless you and may He show you how to see through your blindness and ignorance.

Can anyone see where this “strong believer” has made three faux pas?  First, this “strong believer” knows nothing about freewill.  Second, this “strong believer” knows nothing about why their god created them.  Lastly, this “strong believer” has made the grave sin of being judgmental.

I will point out the verses where I can back-up these statements.  The concept that YHWH will not force us to do anything is a bunch of bull.  I have pointed out in the past how YHWH played the Pharaoh of Egypt like a puppet (Exodus 10:1).   I have also put it out there that Judas had no choice in betraying Jesus; otherwise the whole plan would collapse (John 13:27-8 and Mat 26:56). In these two verses alone, YHWH has taken freewill away from Judas and from all the other Apostles.  But this verse is the key to “strong believers” first faux pas (read all of John 12:37-41):

John 12:39-40 For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: “He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, not understand with their hearts, nor turn – and I would heal them.”

Jesus is quoting from Isaiah 6:9-10.  It is YHWH himself (and Isaiah under orders from YHWH) that is doing the blinding and the deafening.   This in turn, stops Jesus from being able to “heal” some people.  As an aside, Jesus did take liberties with the verse from Isaiah.  Take a closer look at the verb form.  So where is the freewill?  YHWH took it away from the Israelites in Isaiah’s time.  Here Jesus is explaining that YHWH is still doing it.  Why should we believe that YHWH has changed?  There is, in fact verses, which claim he does not change:

James 1:17-18 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.  He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

But that was “strong believers” first mistake.  What about the second?  What purpose did YHWH make us for?  Simple as pie, read Genesis 1.  But to be completely specific:

Gen 1:26 then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

This was YHWH purpose for us.  There was no other purpose.  We were not created to “God has to let us choose for that is why he created us to serve HIM”.  There was no thought of “free choice” when YHWH created us.  In fact, I believe it came as a complete surprise to him when Adam and Eve did choose something other than what he wanted.  But that is another topic. 

But the third mistake is the most telling.  “may He show you how to see through your blindness and ignorance” these are the exact word I have used in describing the first mistake.  But that was about YHWH influence on freewill.  No the mistake here was to be judgmental.  I have been called blind and ignorant.  If that is not judgmental, what is?  And what does the Word of God have to say about being judgmental?

Luke 6:37 “do not judge, and you will no be judged.  Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.  Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”

Jesus goes on to say this:

Luke 6:41 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

The third mistake that “strong believer” has just made is to be judgmental.  This shows just how “strong” this persons belief is.  They are the hypocrite that Jesus so despised in his lifetime.  Worse, this “Christian” is attempting to judge a non-believer!

In the end, we see that “strong believer” is mistaken about the strength of their belief.  Otherwise, they would know the proper way to teach, rebuke, correct, and train:

2^nd Tim 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Recently I have been accused of removing unfavorable posts.  This is far from the truth.  I am still waiting for the second negative comment.  I have had a few of my Russian friends say rather rude things.  But unfortunately, they have had nothing of value to say.  I do not erase “hit and runs”, but they are meaningless to the purpose of this blog.

I have used my one negative comment, with any meat to it, as an example of the need to back up any claims made with a little research.  When someone tells me “I am going to hell” they might want to make sure that they are using the Word of God correctly.

Recently, I have begun to receive numerous comments with the exact same message.  These are deleted.

Recently, I have begun to receive numerous comments with the exact same message.  These are deleted.

Oops, I am repeating myself.  See how annoying it is.

I have broken links in comment to websites that lead to businesses, porn, or poker sites.  This blog is not designed to advertise your product. 

I do use black lists which help to remove spam.  Again, this blog is not designed to advertise your website or your product.  If I wanted to advertise products on this website I would sell my extra bandwidth to companies willing to pay for it.

I will not remove any comments made.  I will edit those that have offensive language.  But I will attempt to leave the full meaning of the comment intact.  Since I am a gay Atheist, comments about a person’s character, lifestyle, religion (or lack of), race, or sex will not be taken lightly.  I will wait and see about rude comments about a person’s intelligence.  On other blogs I have seen some rather stupid comments that are poorly written and have huge intellectual gaps in their arguments.  I would hope that we can keep our comments considerate of others, but in some cases I understand the need to “slap some sense” into a nitwit.

I get my first flame comment:

The Word of God was written by mortal men, and it was a homosexual who transcribed it in the King James Version. It is certainly baised against women and God has no biases against women. Gal. 3:28 says God has not respect to gender. You are trying to prove that God’s word is a lie, is to beed into your fancy that you know more than God. You are deceived because God created the devil and angels and also your god Allah who is another form of satan. Don’t be deceived and perish with your god, because all non beleivers will be cast into the lake of fire.

I will warn anyone else who thinks that this type of useless fear mongering and bigotry will change what I say or do…forget it.

This was my response to the comment:

First of all, you might want to read the truth about the King James Version. Second, I do not use the KJV. See my post on the NIV. Third, without the “god bias” that you have…of course I know more than a non-existent figment of imagination. Third, I am an Atheist; I do not have a god. Fourth, read your own Word of God, the lake of fire is permanent destruction.

Please be careful what you leave as a comment on this site.  I am well versed in the Word of God.  I have read the entire book three times and I have Pradis software that can help me find any verse in the Bible.  The purpose of this experiment and my blog is to point out where the Traditions of Men have over-ridden the Word of God.  If you feel threatened by this…it might be because of your own personal lack of knowledge about your own personal religion. 

Truthful honest commentary about my interpretation of these Holy Books will be greatly accepted.  I may have misses some subtly that you are aware of.  But condemning me “to the lake of fire” is useless.  Read my six part Biblical topics of Hell to understand why.

If you feel that I should clarify or expound upon a subject feel free to let me know.  But be prepared for me to respond in a manner that you do not expect.  I do not have the “god bias” and my interpretation will not be favorable to that bias.  But my response will make you think, and I hope that it will help you clarify your own arguments for or against a specific topic.
