A) you don’t have a choice. Christianity teaches that our lives are deterministic, God chose who will and won’t make it into heaven. If he decided to design you to be a sinner who won’t accept him then that’s your fate.
B) Pharoah never had a chance. It wasn’t himself or the devil who made him reject God, the Bible itself that God hardened his heart and made him act the way he did. Same with Judas, he was chosen to fulfill prophesy. Sure, a different follower could have betrayed him, but it had to be someone because God decided that someone had to take the fall. He wasn’t even able to repent afterwards, even though he tried.
C) Almost everyone ever born won’t make it to heaven according to Christianity. Many are called but few are chosen—as you mentioned narrow is the path according to scripture. It also states that “many” (interpreted majority of) Christians will stand before him in judgment and be rejected because they didn’t believe in him the right way. Performing miracles and healing the sick isn’t enough if you weren’t the right denomination with the right version of the Bible.
D) the beast and antichrist are both human, one a politician and one a religious leader who team up to deceive the world
A. God made us rational beings, but our minds cannot comprehend omnipotence fully
B. Judas couldve repented, but he just committed suicide
C. Many are called, but few will respond. Many “christians” will claim to have followed Christ, but didnt. And the Bibles translations are based on literalness and how its said
for example “Libera nos a malo, Domine” can be translated as “Save us from evil, Lord” and “Please save us from Evil, Lord”
A. God made us rational beings, but our minds cannot comprehend omnipotence fully
What a cop-out. I could say the same thing about Allah. Do you now believe in Allah?
B. Judas couldve repented, but he just committed suicide
This is a very harmful aspect of christianity, and the reason so many abusers (including the current president of the united states) get protected and put into positions to abuse more people instead of being stopped. They commit a crime, they beg for forgiveness, they “repent,” they get forgiven despite not actually changing their behavior.
C. Many are called, but few will respond. Many “christians” will claim to have followed Christ, but didnt.
How do you know you aren’t one of those?
From what I can tell, there is no christ. Every christian is dangerously delusional.
D. I thought by beast you meant Satan
Understandable mistake, the bible is vague and contradictory. The snake in Eden may also be Satan, or not, since the text does not make it clear. Maybe Satan is any “adversary”. Maybe Satan is Lucifer. It’s all bullshit, none of which can be verified.
