Stans favorite place he will live for ever:

Heaven and Hell



Along with the idea of good and evil, the concept of Heaven and Hell seems to predate Judaism as well. In fact the concept of both Heaven and Hell didn’t even exist in the first two thirds of the Bible. Zoroastrianism is known by religious historians as the first religion to have a concept of Heaven and Hell, so once again, Persian influence can be credited for a Judao-Christian concept.

The prophet Daniel, who lived at that time the Hebrews were living in captivity of the Persians, was the first Biblical figure to refer to ideas of resurrection and judgement (Daniel 12:2).

The word “paradise” comes directly from the Persian religion of Mithraism. The word “Hell” seems to derive from the Norse word Hel, most certainly a pre-Christian concept.

There are a number of examples of Hell-like afterlives portrayed in ancient religions, such as the cult of Osiris during the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, where moral fitness became the dominant factor in determined a person’s fate in the afterlife.

At death a person faced judgment by a tribunal of 42 divine judges. If they had led a life in conformance with the 42 principles of Maat, the person was welcomed into the Two Fields. If found guilty the person was thrown to a “devourer” and would be condemned to the lake of fire.

The person taken by the devourer is subject first to terrifying punishment and then annihilated. These depictions of punishment may have influenced medieval perceptions of the inferno in Hell via early Christian and Coptic texts.

Trinity



While the New Testament definitely mentions the concepts of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19), it makes no actual mention of the word “trinity,” and there is still some contention as to whether the trinity god-head is a Biblical theme.

Judaism teaches pure monotheism, while Catholicism favors the trinity concept.Yet it is clearly a concept that was influenced by other pagan religions existing at the time that Christianity came about.

Examples of pagan trinities are: Amun, Re, and Ptah of Egyptian Mythology; Anu, Enlil, and Ea of Sumerian Mythology; and Ishtar, Baal, and Tammuz of Babylonian Mythology.

And the dude himself (mostly european ofcourse from the middle east, or in this case a regular visitor of the gym:

Christ



The aspects of the Messiah that the Bible assigns to Jesus Christ can be traced back to humanity’s primitive cultures. In “Pagan Origins of the Christian Myth,” Jackson makes note of the vegetation theory developed by Sir James George Frazer, in his “Golden Bough” and by Grant Allen in “The Evolution of the Idea of God.” Jackson quotes psychologist Dr. David Forsyth, who summarized the theory:

“Many gods besides Christ have been supposed to die, be resurrected and ascend to heaven. This idea has now been traced back to its origin among primitive people in the annual death and resurrection of crops and plant life generally. According to the advocates of the solar myth theory, the ancient crucified saviors were personifications of the sun, and their life-stories were allegories of the sun’s passage through the 12 constellations of the Zodiac.”

Jackson continues:

“Vegetation cults, it seems are older than stellar or solar cults, but were later blended with them. In the primitive vegetation-god sacrifice, the victim was, it is believed, originally the king, or head-man, of the tribe or clan. It was believed by ancient man that the prosperity of the tribe depended on the well-being of the ruler. If the king became old and feeble, it was considered a foregone conclusion that the nation or tribe would suffer a similar decline. So the king, who was usually regarded as a god in human form, was sacrificed, and replaced with a younger and more vigorous man. He was generally slain while bound to a sacred tree, with arms outstretched in the form of a cross. After being entombed, he was believed to rise from the dead within three days; the three-day period representing the return of vegetation.”

Other saviors with stories similar to life of Jesus, which contain a virgin birth, death, and resurrection, include Buddha, Krishna, Odysseus, Romulus, Dionysus, Heracles, Glycon, Zoroaster, Attis of Phrygia, and Horus.

You won't expect it but when he starts talking ... he is a funny guy :D


Irving Finkel | The Ark Before Noah: A Great Adventure

That was stupid, 8 posts of info copy-paste. But I did use the pretty pictures ;)

Now I know a tiny bit how it must feel to do this on a daily basis. Your life must be very empty and pointless to feel joy and fulfillment by copy-pasting text from 1 place to another.

And meanwhile breaking every 'law' you have promised to obey, by (very weakly and at a childish level) insulting others.


EDIT: to save everyone a lot of time, mainly Stan and his senseless copy-pasting, here you can read all his posts and a lot more, even in different version. Yes, the true words of god can be found in different versions ........... well .......... never mind.

Here it is:

And to make it more fun, here you translate the English bible (one version of it ......) to Chinese, very usefull! Or Thai.

ในปฐมกาล
1ในปฐมกาล พระเจ้าทรงสร้างทุกสิ่งในฟ้าสวรรค์และโลก 2 ขณะนั้นโลกยังไม่มีรูปทรงและว่างเปล่า ความมืดปกคลุมอยู่เหนือพื้นผิวของห้วงน้ำ พระวิญญาณของพระเจ้าทรงเคลื่อนไหวอยู่เหนือน้ำนั้น
3 และพระเจ้าตรัสว่า “จงเกิดความสว่าง” ความสว่างก็เกิดขึ้น 4 พระเจ้าทรงเห็นว่าความสว่างนั้นดี และทรงแยกความสว่างออกจากความมืด 5 พระเจ้าทรงเรียกความสว่างว่า “วัน” และเรียกความมืดว่า “คืน” เวลาเย็นและเวลาเช้าผ่านไป นี่เป็นวันที่หนึ่ง

Because GOD is a DJ !


And here is that prove!

These kind of topics are allowed in the forum ?


Yeh, I am just as surprised.

I know for sure it was forbidden, politics and religion topics.

And what must new users think when they see this total nonsense? A podium for a mad man.

Devs are working hard to make this game better ... and then there is this topic.

Cause these topics are just the first thing new users visit :-p
Come on... I get you, but you slightly overreacting now :-)

No, if I visit a game in which a forum is an important part of the game because you're not really playing that often, more just busy and chatting, and something like this is at the top of the topic list, I would leave right away if mods realy allowes this crap.

I'm playing this game for a long time, that's why I still have an somewhat active account, but if I was a new player, I would be gone right away.

Because of this topic? Really?

Yes, because it sets the tone of the forum and therefore the game. Religion is private stuff, not something that needs to be shown all day every day.

And there is no option to ignore it because there is no ignore option to block managers and topics. But even with that option, new players see this crap without being blocked.

So because a post is posted, you "must" read it?

That's not the point and you know that. It is here and that is the point, it is allowed by the mods and admins, that is the point. And others see it, that is the point.

How many of the current users are happy with his podium?? Have you seen more then 10 positive reactions on the more then 150 pages in spamtopic and now this new topic about his behaviour?? I can't remember any. But I have seen more than enough posts telling him to keep it to himself.


edit typo


But I have said enough about his completely lunacy, and how it is possible this nonsense is allowed by staff. In SK mail and now in this topic. Sokker should become better, not worse.

illogical atheism:
who made christianity and why? who made the old testament and why? you don't believe in Lord Jesus, so someone lied and made the new testament for an evil reason, according to your opinion. those who lied, they believed in evolution? or other gods? because God and evolution are the only solutions that explain our existence. so there is this possibility, some ancient men believed in evolution but they hid that until darwin bringing to the public, so darwin ruins their plan and you the same, to be liars forever because we die, they can't enjoy of "masterplan", makes perfect sense, the irony. the old testament could be made for the same reason or made by lunatics. again, this makes perfect sense, irony again. in conclusion, darwin was an outlaw, ancient men believed in evolution, or other gods and they lied to us, making us believe in Lord Jesus. perfect sense (irony).

how can we "see" God?
we have any kind of food with any kind of taste. we have any kind of drink with any kind of taste. we have any kind of material to build and make anything we want, the world is the place to be. evolution couldn't do this. bible quote: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" (Matthew 7:7). this is not the kingdom of God. believe in the magic soup of darwin (satan), believe in the frog which became a prince, believe in satan. (bad advice). even if you see God, nothing can make you believe that He is God, nothing can make you believe His law, only faith can do that. how did Lord Jesus anticipate His success, the success of christianity? simple, He knows God, and He is the Son of God.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8)

why those religions have disappeared?
