Where do you think we came from? - Page 6

The Bible says about death "once a person is a believer in Christ, They should not fear death anymore since their future is eternally secure" and also says "do not be afraid of those who kill the body but can't harm the soul." 

Bible has many more such passages in John, Philippians, Corinthians which teach to conquer your fear of death and about death being a natural process, after which you are reunited with your Lord. Of course, provided you are of true faith.

Now the Pope is the apparent Vicar of Christ among us, so the next best thing to Christ I suppose and thought worthy of upholding the teachings of the religions. One would assume he of all people has understood and practiced the religion the way it is narrated in the scriptures. The point isn't to not want to live, the point is what need is there for him to fear death, being armed to the teeth. Why not let fate do its work and practice what you preach? 

So yes, while the post on page 6 was meant in humor, the idea of the pope trotting around in armed cars and what not is ironic to me. In fact, I find all religious leaders that act like this to be ironic.😆 😆

Is this suppose to go to an actual blog? This takes us to an 404 error, Not found. Which is fitting as well, 😆

All I have to say is, well played Internet. Taking the search for faith to a 404 error. 😆

I found the picture you were talking about. Also found a meme that had the same picture with the caption "sells you the idea of heaven. Avoids heaven for as long as possible" 

Ah yes. 😆

Here, here..I'll drink to that. And Cheers to the preordained Saint. May you be blessed with the best  bulletproof armor money can buy. 😆

Again, I agree with what you said...on the serious tide of things. The idea of protection is practical and has valid reasoning. The idea of not fearing death is more than just walking in front of an oncoming bus to prove how fearless you are. But I must ask, if the Pope were to die in the line of duty, meaning serving God and spreading the teaching of Christ, wouldn't he die a martyr? I don't know what the Bible promises its martyrs but I assume its something that matches the 72 virgins promised to the jihadists. Why is the Pope so hell bent on not being a martyr? What are we missing here? 😆

And yes you surmised correctly, sorry for any inconvenience the squinting may have caused, lol.

Now FT is going to kill me for hijacking his thread and the FBI monitoring our internet use will have a field day with my holy grail of a post...mentioning the Pope, jihad, and hijacking. I can only hope they share my sardonic sense of humor. 😉

oh thanks. I guess you were making the same point. And i never felt so welcome as now.😆
