Is it evidence for or against religions if they came from America?
For instance Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses. Are there more? Scientology. Any more?
I would argue it is evidence against the religion because America has quite literally nothing the to do with the Bible. What other evidence flows from a religion coming from America?
How many religions came from America?

Re: How many religions came from America?
Post #191Other than that it doesn't matter what you believe, but what the Bible says---note that there is no "wicked-practices" qualification---it's interesting that apparently you also believe Satan bested god and what, made him utter this obvious contradiction? In any case, what God said in Exodus 20:5 stands in direct contradiction to what he said in Ezekiel 18:20. Gods truth does contradict itself.kjw47 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 9:42 pmMiles wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 7:19 pmTRUTH 1kjw47 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 3:47 pmoldbadger wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 2:38 amBut you haven't used the title 'Jehovah' once in that post.

God only accepts worship in spirit and truth-John 4:22-24-- Only what God thinks will have any meaning then. The same now. Thats why Jesus taught--Man does not live by bread alone, but by EVERY utterance from God. 1540 pages of utterances give or take. Few bothered.
I notice that you usually quote from John, the focus seems to be upon John with some quotations from Matthew. I tend to follow the account shown in G-Mark and that is why I see a wholly different story, I think.
Gods truth doesnt contradict itself. Trinity translations contradict Gods truth because there are errors translated in.
“The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…” — Ezekiel 18:20
CONTRADICTION
TRUTH 2
“I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation…” — Exodus 20:5
,
I believe its because the Fathers handed down the same wicked practices to their children. That is one of satans #1 tools, to this day it occurs with 99% on earth. Many worship false gods, many pagan practices off the table of demons( 1Cor 10:21) in the worlds celebrations, etc.

Post #192oldbadger wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 1:25 amHave you enough detailed knowledge of the gospels to recognise any contradictions?
In your bible:-
What does G-John say that Jesus did in the Temple on Palm Sunday? What does G-Mark say that Jesus did in the Temple on Palm Sunday?
Or the next day, Monday? Or Tuesday?
Have you actually read the gospels with that much care, or have you been more interested in 'eternal-life' aspects?
The good news of the kingdom are the important things to know.

Exodus 20:1-5
20 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And why do I say this ? Because all scripture is from god. Not some fictitious "Fathers" who were "handing down the same false god worship and wicked practices to their sons, generation after generation." To wit:
2 Timothy 3:16-17
"All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives. "
and
Proverbs 30:5-6
"Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. "
Which means it is true that “The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…” — Ezekiel 18:20 AS IS THE CONTRADICTION THAT "I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation…” — Exodus 20:5
OF COURSE, if you're implying that god was visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation because some fictitious Fathers were "handing down the same false god worship and wicked practices to their sons, generation after generation," then the "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children" would hold true for all time because all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives and that "Every word of God proves true. In which case “The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…” would be in violation of god's word in Exodus, but is also scripture given by god that is true.
Ah, that god of yours. What a guy. He's got you commin' and goin'.

Much of the bible cannot be understood without being taught by the teachers Jesus appoints. Thatswhythere are over 30,000 differentreligions that claim to be christian= a laclk of understanding truth.

It isnt contradicting itself. I explained what occurred--The Fathers mentioned in Exodus were handing down the same false god worship and wicked practices to their sons, generation after generation.
Exodus 20:1-5
20 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And why do I say this ? Because all scripture is from god. Not some fictitious "Fathers" who were "handing down the same false god worship and wicked practices to their sons, generation after generation." To wit:
2 Timothy 3:16-17
"All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives. "
and
Proverbs 30:5-6
"Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. "
Which means it is true that “The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…” — Ezekiel 18:20 AS IS THE CONTRADICTION THAT "I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation…” — Exodus 20:5
OF COURSE, if you're implying that god was visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation because some fictitious Fathers were "handing down the same false god worship and wicked practices to their sons, generation after generation," then the "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children" would hold true for all time because all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives and that "Every word of God proves true. In which case “The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father…” would be in violation of god's word in Exodus, but is also scripture given by god that is true.
Ah, that god of yours. What a guy. He's got you commin' and goin'.![]()

Are they not Scripture given by god, as explained in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives"?
Other than not hearing them with your own two ears from god himself are they not what god wanted you to read and understand?

Much of the bible cannot be understood without being taught by the teachers Jesus appoints. Thats why there are over 30,000 different religions that claim to be christian= a lack of understanding truth. Jesus is with 1.
