OT - CHRISTIAN RAP

I THINK IF SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS ALOT DIFFERENT THAN TELLING SOMEONE THEY MUST WORSHIP GOD OR ELSE.
I REALLY LIKE THE CHRISTIAN HIP-HOP BECAUSE FOR ME THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY SOMETHING POSITIVE INSTEAD OF THE OVER USED TOPICS THAT MAJORITY OF EMCESS TALK ABOUT THESE DAYS I MEAN HOW MANY DIFFERENT WYAS CAN YOU RAP ABOUT RIMS AN MONEY. TO ME ITS KIND OF A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. DONT GET ME WRONG I STILL LIKE ARTISTS THAT DO NON CHRISTIAN HIP-HOP BUT THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF CHRIST-HOP
ARE A NICE CHANGE FOR ME ANYWAYS

Zero, you always cool with me and I am just giving my 2 cents. But no Christianity isnt a religion, man turned it into a religion, by adding all of the rituals and making loving God a chore. It isnt supposed to be like that, that is why so many are turned off to Church, because organized religion does that to people.
Jesus was not ritualistic and the reason why he was crucified by the Jewish authority was because he was about loving God and telling people that they should love eachother. They didnt like the fact that he didn't conform to the practices they said were the way people should worship God. They didnt like the fact that he chilled with the people who were doing wrong and tried to steer them right instead of condemning them. They didn't like when and where he perfomed miracles.
There are a set of guidelines, but gym memberships have those, but in reality loving and treating people the right way, and loving and respecting God for giving life is what its really about.
Christianity is a monotheistic religion. Always has been. Buddhism came along roughly 100 years after Jesus' resurrection. It was also started by a tangible person, Gautama Buddha, who was then worshiped after his death.
Only until these two beliefs crossed paths, they were thought of as concrete. By the time both were known to be in existence, they were then "religions". Before that, however, they were absolute belief systems.

My point is however that Jesus was, in his time considered a rebel. The Jewish Hierarchy was very ritualistic and followed nothing but the laws as delivered by Moses. Jesus was about the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law. He never condemned anyone, he was about forgiveness, kindness and truth. He never allowed another human to give a punishment that the person was not worthy to give.
Christians that are "religious" are very much like the Jewish authority used to be. People who don't know Christ, or DO know Christ, believe in him or not, should still be loved and embraced by Christians, not frowned upon and rediculed. The word Christian, means to be "Christ Like" and he was nothing but kind and passed the word of God on to those that were willing to listen.
And he died for it.
Also, Christianity was considered concrete before then, it was the chosen belief system for all of Rome before buddhism was as widely revered.
On another note. Loving this intelligent conversation.
god only intended for man to have one religion mankind is the one that messed that up and the funny thing is that alot of religions share very similar beliefs
i heard a theory once that i found kinda interesting someone told me what if jesus / muhammed / budda/ etc.. what if they were all gods sons sent here for the same reason to reach different people yet christ was the only one crucified?? ive pondered that ever since i heard it.
i have never been a fan of organized religion i feel like the true path to god is set in your heart thats why we know the difference between right an wrong
its just up to us to study and follow that path

I'm not trying to bust your balls at all... I'm just saying, that if a guy is rapping about his love for Jesus, to me, that is a "religious" song. It isn't just a man "talking about his relationship with a higher power". Your argument is that thousands of years ago, Jesus wasn't trying to get people into a church. Well your argument is based so heavily in religion that it almost negates itself.
For example, what weight does it hold that Jesus was just your regular Joe, spreading the word of god to those who chose to listen, if I don't really have any evidence that there ever was a "Jesus" in the first place?
Long story short... My point is only that Christianity is most definitely considered a religion. You can go to a "Christian" church. That's a religion. And since the guys are rapping about Jesus and Christianity, that makes them a Christian rap group. At least I think that was the original point. I don't even remember now.

come on man look at the galaxy.. those gods created the earth and everything, right? so they are 4th dimensional beings who are different cultured? Ohk first of all we are one race..human..Gods and culture, divides us, if a god was really for the people and knew that other gods existed the god would have known that religion divides, causes violence and he would leave us the fuck alone haha, Because hes smaaaaart right?..
And obviously we are the only planet we know of which is inhabited by humans. So we can believe anything and see anything as we are the only intelligent minds in the galaxy and who have a spirit AS FAR AS WE KNOW.
Yo religion throw me up something to prove gods exist!
im throwing up science to prove gods dont!
hit me back religion!

Well check me out, even if you don't believe God exists, love you anyway man. You can spend a million hours looking and you will never find a scientist that was able to create life. They have been able to use existing life to create life, but they have never EVER been able to create it themselves. There was even a scientist that believed that just because there is a level of electric current in the human body that he could resurrect a human being based on sending an electric current through them just like they do with paddles. Well after three well barbequed cadavers and some good tax money spent on them, he couldnt do it and subsequently went crazy and ended up institutionalized.
And if you subscribe to the theory of evolution, well Charles Darwin accepted Jesus Christ on his death bed and for the most part said his whole the whole thing was hogwash.
If you are right then when we die I will enjoy my dirtnap right wicha, if I am right then I will hopefully end up in heaven, and since you don't believe..........well, thats up to God.

That's cool dude i respect your opinion. Since we are energies and molecules there is alot to play with there.
As soon as we are born the life is being sucked out of us to provide energy and life somewhere else i believe, it makes logical sense. I mean we are floating energies, chemical reactions happen all around us every split second, conversations are just our energies clashing and having fun dancing around in circles while we project what we call thoughts.
If i live my whole life then start to believe in god just before i die is a thought... But what is really beliving in god? And to what extent is it where i'm actually taken into gods arms depending on the belief scale?Is that when you can see him and feel him? People who actually see angels and god i believe are grown ups with awesome imaginations, who can probably lucid dream while in a conscious state with a willing mindstate.
I do believe there was a man called jesus, he was a remarkable person who was ahead of his time.
Our rush with death is a positive and negative balance. You can die or you can live. It's called being universally conscious. If you are aware of your surroundings, don't get frights by sounds or people (be completely grounded), then your proving to yourself it's you and not a "god" per-say. Your connection with the flow of life and "coincidences" makes more sense to where you go in the afterlife.
Right now we are on an earth moving around the sun at an easy 66600 mph.
Im not afraid of death, I can't wait to die naturally because i'm exited to see my next destination and i don't think i will go to hell for having an open mind.:chinese:
