When being a christian its not about being logical, its about having faith, faith that the word of God and that alone is true. If the bible says Jesus will return believe it ! If it says God created the Earth in 6 days then He did beleive that !

"When being a christian its not about being logical, its about having faith, faith that the word of God and that alone is true."

You'd check to see if you had gas in your car before starting a trip, you'd be sure to have money in you account before writing a check, but for the important issues of whether or not there is a God and what he may or may not want you to do you'll just believe whatever an ancient, unverifiable book of tales says. Good thinking.

"If the bible says Jesus will return believe it !"

The Bible said Jesus would return about 2 thousand years ago, yet, still no Jesus. Why, pray tell, should I believe it?

"If it says God created the Earth in 6 days then He did beleive that !"

God would have to exist for him to have created the earth AND for him to believe he created the earth.

If the Bible says gazing at striped stcks will cause animals to produce striped offspring, should I believe that? If it says pi=3, should I believe that? If it says a flying roll will burn the houses of thieves? Kill my son?

Hey TailTactics!

Yay for the blasphemous, disrespectful, heathistic people on this site ... Nonetheless God Bless you all ...

Why do you say things like, "god bless you all" when you obviously don't mean it? If god wasn't imaginary, he would know you don't want him to bless us. I'm sure you would rather he curse us, but because of your lip service to your religion, you are trying to put one over on your own deity!

Your tone in your posts is a dead giveaway. You are a dishonest liar! Why don't you just give us a fiery condemnation like you want to, and ask jebus to forgive you later, huh? You know you want to, and, in your mind, you know he will, right? Let your hair down and get comfortable. Try being honest for a change, ok?

"Yeah, you may think I dont mean it but I do.. I hope that even no matter how bad you all are hurting the heart of God that He still blesses you, saves you nonetheless, which would be a blessing in itself. I was being sarcastic in the first part but was sincere in the second.
And in this whole thing Im just an open target for your saddened ridicule anyway but I KNOW my Lord will bless me reguardless."

If he can bless us anyway, even if we don't buy into your fantasy, and he can save us even though we fully reject your little play date with the divine, why the preaching? If he can bless us, he can bless you too, without having to do all the mental gymnastics you do to make your favorite story make sense. Presumably, Jesus said he with return within the lifetimes of the audience he was speaking to at the time. He didn't. Some other guys came along and wrote that wasn't what he meant, so they should keep waiting. They were calling Jesus a liar! Doesn't that bother you? It's in the same book! Buncha guys got together many years after the fact and "edited" the "Word Of God" a few centuries later, and threw out WHOLE BOOKS!! God could have said a lot of things in them, like " Naw! I was just funnin' ya! It's all cool! Do what you want! Have fun and be safe!", but we don't know because a decent amount of the material is presumably lost forever... the remaining material has been edited numerous times since then...

How can you be sure what I'm saying is "Hurting the heart of God"? If there was such a being, he might appreciate that I don't just buy some absurd story that others have attributed to his authorship. The ability to reason that this deity supposedly gave me would be being put to good use! I would think that such a being would be thrilled that I'm not wasting the mind it presumably gave me, and just accept things that don't make any sense whatsoever.

This deity that you have this faith in, may feel that blind obedience and unsupported faith are much worse than disbelief without proof. What if that is the case? What are you going to do then? I'll help you out, though...I'll put forth the hope (kinda like a prayer, ya know) that one day you will come to your senses and accept that you don't know anything for sure, and that's ok. I will hope that you will realize that, although your faith may be a comfort for you, there is no reason to be so certain in it that it should apply to anyone outside your own head. That is all you have control over anyway. If God is out there, let him express himself to each in his own way, or not at all. If God is not out there, don't let wanting there to be one prevent you from having fun! Oh! And be safe!

Pride in my God you better believe it ! All this that everyone is saying to me isn't bothering me at all for it states in the Word of God.

1 Corinthians 2:14-16 states:

14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:
16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?" But we [those who accept Christ]have the mind of Christ.

I stand on the Word and the Word of God alone.

That's cute, TT, but:

1) How do you know God said it? Just because someone wrote it down doesn't make it true.

2) If God did say it, how do you know you are getting the actual words and their intended meaning after so many years of translation and re-translation?

3) Looking at your quoted passage, doesn't it bother you that Paul openly contradicts Jesus? Jesus said that ALL fall short, and "Judge not, lest ye be judged", etc. Assuming your fairytale was truth, how do you know that Satan didn't trick the fallible, human, Paul and make him write things that stood Christ's teachings on their head? Even Paul writes about how many of the others who followed Jesus rejected and turned away from him, calling him a false teacher. Just because a bunch of pointy-hatted guys in the 5th century preferred the authoritarian Pauling teachings to control the masses, over some writings, like Thomas, doesn't make the the "Word Of God". Some guys chose them as politically expedient, that's all. If you try living by Christ's teachings, I still wouldn't believe your fairytale, but I might respect that you approach life from the philosophy of someone that had a lot of good ideas. (Presuming Jesus existed...)

Take Care...

Well...

1.) Because God uses people. And Paul had committed himself to the Lord. He was filled with te holy spirit.

2.) Believe that the bible is true.

3.) Paul was filled with the holy spirit. The holy spirit would never mislead. Also Paul was talking about judgement as in those who have the mind of Christ are not subjected to the judgement of man. Basically no man [of this world] can instruct or judge a man who posseses the mind of Christ because the one who has the mind of Christ is already being lead correctly/in righteousness.
And Paul [and all Christians] have the power to defeat Satan through Jesus Christ.

1 John 4:4 states

4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you [Christ, the Holy Spirit] is greater than the one who is in the world [Satan].

This may be a fairytale to you but it is more real than life itself to me. I have experienced Christ personally and I cannot deny Him nor live without Him.
