[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?
LaVey is bullshit. i used to be far from what i am now....and i bought both the satanic bible and the satanic rituals (which i gladly threw away about 6 months ago..) and that is all garbage...he is telling people...gullible people....his own vision of this..and its crap....who ever follows that book is being played for a fukin dummie....i feel for those who give in to that nonsense..
I wouldn't equate the liberals with the poor and the sick, unless you're referring to a liberal's spiritual health." "So, you are saying that it is Christians [like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson] that are the problem, right? Homosexuals and Liberals are the good people, and Christians are the bad people, eh? You seem to have it all figured out my friend. What solutions do you propose?
Christian, do you believe it is harmful for Christian parents to play the game of "Santa Claus" with their children? Of whom I so fervently refer to as SATAN CLAWS.
of course he is worthy of worship. he is the Mighty One, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, he's the wonderful one. if ne thing, u should just worship him out of pure fear of his wrath.
So God killed 42 kids, how many has Mao killed?
Give us a four page lecture on it, if you will. We're waiting with baited breath Einstein. Cosmic microwave background radiation? Just because you burnt your popcorn in the microwave, doesn't mean you witnessed the Big-Bang my friend.
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.
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.
Ok Leon, I don't get it. A defendant is innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. So God exists until He is proven not to exist. Making Sense....... You just contradicted yourself with your own example. Poorly put.
Jesus didn't condemn slavery on the basis that it was considered normal by Jews and allowed by God. In fact, slavery wasn't even condemned by slaves. They were fed, clothed, given a bed and released after 7 years. Only in todays society is slavery seen as being wrong.
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.
[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)
I do not support genocide. I do not believe Hitler great for what his murders. I consider him great for what he did for Germany and the world and his way of effective ruling. I think he led the country in the best way possible, although he did go slightly too far.
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...
Humanoid isn't really a scientific word. It's purly out of the pages of star trek scripts.
In a spirit of what they would think of as "free-thinking" and the best new idea, they are merely repeating the same words and echoing the same sentiments as generations upon generations right back to Old Scratch himself, Lucifer. "Free thinking", my ass.
He was amazing. His genocide and firm hand were over excessive in something that were needed
im sorry for saying this...no im not. but being gay is just sick and nasty. uggghhggg.
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!!
I think if fags don't believe in God then religion should have no influence on them. However, it is misunderstood people such as paul3 and yourself who try and deceive homosexuals in thinking it's okay to believe in God and be gay. It is people such as paul3 and yourself who have tried to justify this abomination as a "normal" practice when according to about 95% of the worlds population it is wrong according to their religious texts.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make here, except that you might be making a cry for attention and help. It seems you might be in need of a psychoanalysis. I recommend seeing a psychiatrist.
I know that I was asked to remove my signature which said 'DARWINS MOTHER WAS AN ASS' by the moderators which kinda pissed me off, but it's not mysite so I did what I was asked.
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?
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.
Besides the historical inaccuracies of the Book of Morman, which the Bible does not have, the Bible warns against things like the LDS.
Hitler was a genius who gave the people what they wanted, a scapegoat. He went slightly further than neccesary, but in the end he was ther greatest leader of his time. People should look up to him. Sadly enough I'm completely serious.
I think one misconception is that those who find truth and stop searching are therefore closeminded. Who would find truth and then keep searching? I say once the truth is found drop your anchor and set up camp, there is no reason to search any longer. Now that dosen't mean we shouldn't learn from other peoples viewpoints. I love hearing the otherside of things although I admit that I listen usually just so I can learn how to debate against them in the future. The word open-mindedness is tossed out there way too much. And if being closedminded means not allowing the worldly viewponts to be considered, then count me in.
And by the way, everyone who keeps posting these "I'm giving up on my faith and religion" and "I'm starting to dislike Christianity" Grow up!!!
Sex is for the purpose of procreating. You say what is wrong with pleasure. Tell me this, what is wrong with fucking an animal, having sex with little 5 year old girls etc? I'll tell you why, IT'S NOT NATURAL!!!
[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.
did I say it was the moms fault?? no. I was simply adding something could help better the issue. What I said does infact happen for often then not.
God works in mysterious ways and sometimes us humans are unable to comprehend why He does certain things. I wouldn't condemn Hitler to hell on the basis of killing 6million+ Jews. God tells us it is faith that justifies us, who knows what was going on in Hitlers mind.
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.
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.
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.
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...
I would suggest, a) The Universe and b) The Resurrection of Jesus. There is no better explanation than the fact that "God Did It"!
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!
See, here you go again. Equating politics with religion. You'd make a good pope.
God has killed more [than Hitler] and will send more than half of all humanity to hell... does that make Him bad? No.
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.
Atheism is just made up. Its not real.
[On Hitler]It's not that he was a great leader, it's that people in despair will follow almost anything and anyone if they think it will get them out of it.
You say you [an atheist Bible scholar] understand the Bible, apparently you don't. Without Jesus in your life, you can't have a full grasp on the Bible and what it says.
Your wrong, God didn't kill those people. The muslims belife that they have to kill Christians and people who don't belive the way they do killed those people. God just used that as a wake up call.
My opinion is that neither should be taught though. That would take care of the problem completly. I mean evolution will never help me in my career as a biochemist so why should i be forced to study it.
If I abandon a Christian worldview, I see no plausible reason - other than purely selfish reasons - to be a Moral person. In fact, [and I know this will be contraversial] but I believe that many of these crimes are strictly due to a lack of the Christian worldview, although, paradoxically I find that many Christians [?] engage is such activities. If Christianity is proven false, do what you wanna do, as long as you come out alive and on top, Who cares... pure Hedonism is championed. Does that answer your question?
People say it's okay to be a Wiccan, Buddhist, Muslim or whatever but it must be made clear God hates these false religions (if they are in fact false) and He'd like to see them eradicated. Homosexuality is the killer. Priests, pastors, politicians etc are decieving God's little children into thing it's okay to be gay. The world has come to largely accept homosexuals in this world and the gay movement is stronger than ever... God hates it all. People think female pastors are a welcome but God says they're not (debatable). Many don't believe in capital punishment even though God created it. Pacifists and anti-war (defence) Christians are just confused. Is there a passage in the Bible that says we're to conform to social beliefs or don't people give a shit about the truth? Why so weak?
Why are there so many discussions about other religions (atheism, mormonism, etc) when everything boils down to one verse in the Bible I am The Way and The Truth and The Life and NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT through ME. -John 14:6. The Torah [Jewish name for the Old Testament] teaches that itself (the Torah) is The Way and The Truth and The Life when in all reality that isn't true. Jesus Christ is the only way.
