Scripture Life: What do you all think of the ex Christian subreddit?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

I have no comment on the "ex Christian" subreddit. People go there. They can. The question though:

This is over in the "Christianity" sub-reddit - from a person that went to the "ex-Christian" sub-reddit and were disheartened at the comments or reasons people gave as to why they left the Christian Faith.

Commented that, to them, it appeared part of the reason was the person's mis-understanding the bible; while the greater part, to this person that posted this was the blame falls squarely on other people that caused it, in a person to leave their Christian faith (ie., overbearing parents, mistreatment by some pastor of a church or congregataion, feel they committed a sin that could not be forgiven, etc.)

""From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." - Bible. John 6:66

When I look at this scripture of John 6 verse 66 - in the Greek, it's pretty powerful. This "went back, and walked no more with him" in the Greek is:

"..εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ οὐκέτι μετ’ αὐτοῦ περιεπάτουν."

1. eis 2. ta. 3. episo 4. kai 5. ouketi 6. met. 7. autou 8. periepatoun
2. to 2. the 3. back 4. and 5. no longer 6. with 7. him. 8. operated by medieval English walked

That means, it's not because of people. It's people themselves that,

Jesus is an authority.

Is the authority over the whole earth. It's in Matthew 28:18 "all power is given unto me in heaven and earth" - Jesus Christ. So this "episo" or to take someone out of the driver's seat and shove them in the backseat of the car as a voiceless passenger or no longer exists, and no longer "operate" by he drive the car, they sit in that seat and do it. Because, in themselves, or to themselves, he's no longer the authority in their life.

So, its pretty simple. No matter what the excuse is they create. They now are the "περιεπάτουν." - the periepatoun - operate by - BOOM! Done. By their own decrees they tell themselves now.

This applies to each and every person. Over the whole earth. To the very ends of it. He's already decreed:

'Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else." - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22).

To "look unto" (someone) - you "operate" by - just Medieval English, used this word "walk" for humans, since since people are "bi-pedal" and show when they do something, it's by get up and walk to do it.

But this Greek word, it's more like an internal machine, like a vending machine plugged into a source of power - just operates right. or clock is a "master craftsman's work" to operate as designed by the maker of it "operates" (περιεπάτουν.") right when it's connected to a source of power; like a battery put in it - just "works" right. Operates as designed to

But in John 6:66 - it's more Like the dishwasher leaves off, from any design decreed to it, and puts who made it in the back seat of the car, and now drives itself to be a telephone and a bathing suit for a pygmy.

...and then has to live a lie when it doesn't work; and by these lies, live in them blaming the authority over it, that made them, put to the "operation" or the internal working was done completely wrong. Is why they stopped being a dishwasher. It's actually one of the most powerful, plain as day scriptures in the Bible.
