[In response to allegations of people altering the Bible]
Theres no doubt in my mind that God would not let his word be altered in any way he did not want it to be. If Sodam and Gomorah were struck dead just 4 lying, then why can't some monk be struck dead?
i dont think mohammed was on any drugs at all - he was just decieved by a demon posing as an angel
I believe it is logical to believe creation since it is based on observations and not untested hypothesis.
my church currently is expieriencing problems where there is demons running amuck in the basement no one has gone and kicked them out, or they said they kicked one out, but theres more then one we thought we finished the problem, then some kid in the daycare reported seeing some sort of thing and was crying
Why do people try to use this as a way to show how "unfair" God is and how "ludicrous" Christian's are? Bible believing Christian's believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven. If mother Teresa didn't accept Jesus than she is in hell. If Gandhi, or any other devout religious or extremely moral person didn't accept Jesus than they are in hell. Whether or not you think that is fair or not isn't the issue. I'm just answering your question..
[on Iraq]The U.S. is not going to go in willy nilly and just start shooting civilians..and you know that. We never do that...
I believe artificial methods of birth control are wrong. God gave us sex for 2 purposes only, to procreate and to deepen the love bond with our partners. Obviously, if we have sex in an unnatural way (i.e. contraception) then we are denying the ultimate purpose for sex, and that is to create new life.
Angelic/demonic activity is more common in other parts of the world, such as Indonesia and Africa. These are the places where the Church is thriving in the face of danger, where believers are martyred, where you hear of more miracles.
Proponents of "choice" don't want to force women to have abortions? Since when? China does it now. And if you think for a minute that justifying abortion morally and legally does not translate into forced abortion as a realistic means of population control in the future, then you are not being honest with yourself.
the worse demon i heard is a religous demon, they will whisper things in peoples ears, making them think its there own thoughts, because its 'religously' oriented people are afraid to question it, and eventually these religous demons can destroy a church
I was tying Mohammid to all the other dreamed up and demon inspired cults. Sorry I wasn't clear with that!
As a Christian, I believe in the existence of hell as revealed to me in the Holy Scriptures and by the power of the Holy Spirit. A rational person, who believes in Jesus Christ as their saviour, would also believe in His Word, thus the place of eternal torment. The Bible was not written for people like you who claim to be "rational", but for those who "believe", like me!
God's allowed to murder. It's His creation, he can get rid of it if he likes. Besides, the world was evil and corrupt, probably more fucked up than it is today. God said 'Thou shalt not kill', not 'I shalt not kill'
And we have no need in this world greater then that of a Savior. Food and water are a distant second need. God's wrath is the scariest thing I can think of and the only way we can escape that is through Jesus Christ.
Some will say that I am being intolerant, and so be it! I will gladly be intolerant to a false religion.
puratory is as existent as valhalla
except for the fact that God does not hear the prayers of the unsaved...
According to statistics, 33% of the world believe in Christianity. That's a huge figure that is! In fact, using logic we can come to the conclusion Christianity is the true religion of God because it has the most adherents. See how flawed logic is? Do we say God exists because there are more theists than atheists? Since you're such a master in logic, isn't that what you should believe?
When you say demons can no longer possess, i disagree. I think they have worked on their technique and make it less obvious, for example, using mental problems and addictions to destroy people.
and evolution, ha, any theory that it's originator denounced is obviously false. if you don't know about that, don't even bother replying. energy=matter, ha, that kind of goes against Einstien, doesn't it.
Didn't scientists used to believe the earth was flat because that's what the evidence suggested? That's what a "rational" scientist would have believed. My point is reason usually fails because it isn't based on exactly what you said it was, EVIDENCE!
As an Mk (missionary kid) i hear all kinds of stories and see first hand the effect that demons and angels have on the world today. They are as real as you and me and to deny them is dangerous i think.
[Replying to 'should we try to avert civilization-killing natural disasters?']no. i think god will protect us beacause the tribulation still has to come. when that happens i think there will be nothing we can do to stop disasters like meteors.
While Ghandi did some great things from our perspective on this earth, he was a sinner just like all of us. He came to a point in his life where he chose his own belief system and his own desires over God's way for his life. It's a tragedy that he chose not to be with God. As for the axe murderer that accepts God before he dies, if he truly accepts Jesus he will bear a terrible pain and suffering of guilt over what he has done.
How can science explain why things were created? And I don't accept other relgion's reasons for why because of problems I have with the other religions. If I don't believe what the rest of the religion says, why would I believe what it says about creation?
And what do you mean by evidence? Like, maybe miracles? And why should we follow logic or reason?
Faith comes from within, it is what an individual person experiences with God. It can't be taken away because its conviction is so strong that any misleading scientific theories or rational observations no longer have a bearing on what they see as the truth.
As for Mohammed, I'm not even going to start. Here's the math; one mohammed + pyote + cave= Answer: strange hallucinations, and a book
See, here you go again. Equating politics with religion. You'd make a good pope.
So, space/time ceases to exist and then there is nothing left. This nothing spontaneously combusts [for no apparent reason because nothing exists] and you don't believe in god? WOW... that must be the most illogical thing I've ever heard...
im sorry for saying this...no im not. but being gay is just sick and nasty. uggghhggg.
Santa Claus is a child's nightmare that has been agrivated by the rapid demonic threshhold we all call Xmas! Christmas=Baby Jesus being born and forever ruleing over Heaven and earth at the right hand of God. Xmas=Satan in a red suit with furry trim causing department stores to expload with sales and pretending to be the good fat jolly sesonal moral giver!
Jesus is waving his hands in front of your face and you still can't see him. God dosen't call down fire like he did in the OT...he sent Jesus.....And that isn't enough for you?
This is really a question for those who dont believe in God. Where do you think this world is heading. Are we humans going to evolve into humanoids. What ever that is.
God has killed more [than Hitler] and will send more than half of all humanity to hell... does that make Him bad? No.
He was amazing. His genocide and firm hand were over excessive in something that were needed
I don't think it [hell] is in the center of the Earth but it is odd how geologists say that the middle of the eart is molton rock with other minerals such as sulfer or "Brimestone" when at the time the Bible was written they did not know that.
[Replying to 'can people be blinded by faith?']By religions, yes, by Christianity, no. Being a Christian is a personal relationship with God. Before people get saved they are blind to the truth. But, once they get saved, they are no longer blind to the truth.
Besides the historical inaccuracies of the Book of Morman, which the Bible does not have, the Bible warns against things like the LDS.
Years ago, back when I was in middle school, I saw an angel, and a few years ago when I was in high school I saw a demon. This past summer, I had looked at a bunch of pornography on the computer while my family was away in Washington, DC, and when I was "done" I could hear footsteps walking all around the house; and I was home alone. I invited a friend over the next night to see if he had the same "experience" and he heard it also. We prayed throughout the whole house, and what not, and we've not heard any of this since.
Atheism is just made up. Its not real.
[To a person whose father committed adultery]I do want to say this: Not to hound your mom, but that is one of the reasons why wives should not work... Cause they are suppossed to help out the husband and keep him adequate. Plus they will be attacked by "wolves" (horney men)
Of course I know people have different religious and spiritual beliefs. Isn't that what I was talking about? But now you are getting into absolute truth. Just cause you believe something doesn't make it true. You have no basis for your beliefs, they are just what you believe. I have God on my side.
If you truly had the Holy Spirit, then you would still be a Christian. Otherwise you can't say you had Him, seeing as you deny His existance...
So, what would teh world be like without Hitler and human rights and the end of teh depression and radar and ect that come out of world war 2? It would be very interesting indeed to see how far behid we would be.
In the Bible is an account of the creation of the universe, the significant portion of which could not have been recorded without God Himself relaying the information to the initial recorder.
Getting any kind of Biblical advice from N.A.T [an atheist] is like asking Ray Charles to tell you about the mona lisa. It's like asking a deaf person to describe one of Beethoven's symphonies.
THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT WE ARE HERE WITHOUT A CREATOR!!! NONE!! NADA!! This is why I disregard all "advances" in science. Because If scientists are going to leave their brains in the parking lot on the fact that God simply must exist if we exist. then why would they use their brains for anything else. We accuse you of everything you accuse us, including circular reasoning..but just one thing, WE'RE RIGHT!!
Whether or not homosexuals can experience 'true love'... I don't know. How do you know that? I tried to look up some Bible passages on love but I couldn't find anything. So much for that.
Humanoid isn't really a scientific word. It's purly out of the pages of star trek scripts.
