Amen brother. A Christian is just someone who has been saved: "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." It has nothing to do with going to church or being a nice person, although you would hope that a Christian would do both of those things.
Isn't it sad that this "loving god" sees fit to give paedophiles and rapists eternal happiness simply because they believed in him, Yet someone who spends their entire life helping others will go to hell simply for disbelieving. God is kind of an asshole when you look it like that. And that's without thinking about the painful diseases he gives to children for no reason.
You are so passionate about God being cruel. Yet, you don't believe in him. Your posts do not make any sense. I can not see what your objective is. What is your aim in life, if not to abuse, slander and attack anyone who believes in God? What has been done to you to make you so angry? Col
My aim is to expose religion as being a divisive tool used to control the weak. I want religion abolished. I want it it be a criminal offence for someone to try to change laws and public policy based on something they believe. The reason i call god cruel isn't because I believe he exists, He doesn't exist, It's because you believe he exists. I want you to see exactly what kind of character he would be if he did exist. I want you to see that if he existed he would be a sadistic, Abusive, needy attention seeker who doesn't mind if you kill and rape children, As long as you say sorry at some point and believe he exists. I have had restrictions put on what i can do because of beliefs people like you hold. Sunday trading is there to suit you people. We have gone to wars because people like you think they can talk to god. It's time to grow up and put down this comfort blanket that you call religion. This is the real world, Where reality happens. And in the real word we don't have invisible men in the sky.
Man. You have got quite a complex their. Paranoia?? Yeah...you got plenty of that too. I can only pray you overcome these problems. You don't really know me. If you met me face to face I could not possibly understand why you would be angry with me, not without being prejudiced. The claims you make against me I believe you should be making towards other religions that do certain things in God's name. I can't see what Sunday trading has to do with me or the organization I belong to. The same goes for war. None of God's people have gone to war. Why? Because we respect his teachings. The teachings even his Son taught about not repaying evil with evil. God will repay judiciously when the appropriate time comes. Our people have been placed in jail and even killed for refusing to go to war or have anything to do with war. This is what I mean st0x. You are tarring me and the organization with others that have done all these things that antagonizes you so. You need to do some research before you open your mouth and make these false claims. One day that light just might turn on for you and make you realize how wrong you have been about me. Col
You keep assuming i have some kind of personal problem with you. Granted i do occasionally think you are a misguided fool, But my main gripe is with the people that have tricked you in to believing this fairy story shit. Are you serious? You can't see what sunday trading has to do with religion? Obviously you haven't gone to war, You don't have the capacity to. But george bush and tony blair did, And they are both devout christians. To make the statement "none of gods people have gone to war" shows exactly how detached from reality you are. Gods people are all about war, They always have been and they always will be. Religion = war. Yes i know you sit in your happy clappy collective and talk about how great god is and how it's brilliant to know jesus, But you guys are simply the lower rungs. Religion, As a whole, Is an enormous institution with an enormous amount of money and an enormous amount of power. And i'm not happy living in a world where all of this power and all of this money belong to a group of people who believe in the invisible man in the sky and are influencing politics, laws, Education and public policy. Answer me this. Should creationism be taught in schools as opposed to evolution?
Don't worry about me st0x. I ain't misguided and I ain't no fool either. I am more educated than most humans on this earth. I ain't blowing smoke here either. I make my own decisions based on evidence. Your evidence of my beliefs have nothing to do with my evidence. How can you possibly experience what I have experienced in my life? I am not talking about miracles either. Just day to day experiences. You know. Life. Which religion? The organization I belong to has never meddled with Sunday Trading. That meddling belongs to other religions. I agree that religion is an enormous institution and we don't want to be tarred with that brush. Your two country leaders mentioned belong to those religions. I don't and neither does this organization AND NEVER HAS!!!! Are you getting this?? Is this actually going in?? Lower rungs? Lower rungs of what? You make no sense with these pointless accusations yet again. Both opinions should be taught in schools so kids can make up their own minds after being informed of all the evidence. I guess you were not expecting that answer huh?? Col
Who believe in God and Jesus Christ is Christian. Either he follows the commandments, told by Jesus, or not is a separate issue.
Though somewhat right. But IMO what counts the most are the deeds. "A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.' And he answered, 'I will not'; but afterward he repented and went. And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, 'I go, sir,' but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?" .. Matthew.
But you don't. Your decisions are based on faith. If it was based on evidence you would be able to post the evidence and prove that what you believe is correct. That's what "evidence" allows you to do, It allows you to prove something. Sunday laws are based on judeo-christian beliefs. If you believe in the bible you believe in a judeo-christian belief. If why people go to church on Sunday. Thou shalt not work on the sabbath. You constantly try to disassociate yourself with people doing bad things in the name of your god. It's almost as if you conveniently abandon your beliefs when it suits you or when you have been asked a tricky question. Heres some news for you, they believe in jesus, You believe in jesus, You all believe in the same thing. That is exactly the answer i was expecting, I didn't think youd have the courage to say evolution shouldn't be taught. We can do a deal, I wont teach science in your cult and you don't teach fairy stories in out science class. I don't know what is wrong with you people, But creationism simply is not a science. This is how it works, Unless you have evidence to back it up you aren't allowed to teach it in school.
Alas! I post information and actually invite those to see for themselves. Yet, they do not come to see the evidence I am talking about. What more can I do? The Sabbath was done away with when Jesus was baptized. I guess that kinda knocks the wind out of your sails on that one. Seeing I don't follow the sabbath, makes me not part of the 1,000's of religions that do these things. Well. You are the one saying so. Please, tell me what bad things I or any of us have done in the name of God? Be careful here. You don;t want to go accusing us that others have been doing! This is your problem right here. You don't know what is right with us people. You are looking through a fog. But, I can understand that. Seeing you don't have the tools to get yourself through that fog. Like lack of evidence in evolution? Oh please! Col
And you can't see how this isn't evidence? It's the typical circular logic we get from you people. "The bible says god exists, And the bible must be correct, Because it is, After all, The word of god" Nonsense. There are lot's of christians who observe the sabbath. Maybe your unwillingness to do so says a lot about how much you actually believe what you preach. Just follow the bits that suite you, right? We have posted on many occasions the evil done in the name of god, We aren't going to post it again every time you conveniently fall dumb. This is what you do, You simply deny things, Even when they have been posted and proven. here some of you peoples actions? Right, It's the person who doesn't believe in the invisible man in the sky that can't see the truth... Maybe you need to get yourself some tools, For example, Intelligence, Logic, Reasoning and the ability to accept that only yourself is responsible for your life. If it's the evidence of evolution you have a problem let's hear your evidence for creationism. I'm not talking about picking holes in evolution, I'm talking about evidence to actually support your theory.
It is vital for each person who claims to be a Christian to answer this question positively. Why? Because God’s approval depends thereon. Christianity is not merely a belief or a label, but a way of life. Does your way of life reflect Christ’s example? Does your religious practice match the Biblical quality of the early Christians that we have just considered? The apostle Paul invites us: “Put yourselves to the proof, to see whether you are holding the Faith. Test yourselves.†(2 Corinthians 13:5, The Twentieth Century New Testament) To this end, we invite you to check the following short list, while looking up the cited scriptures in your own Bible. 1. Do you participate in national or political loyalties that cause divisions among professed Christians?—1 Corinthians 1:10; John 18:36; James 1:27. 2. How do you define Christian love?—1 Corinthians 13:4-8. 3. Do you, in practice, endeavor to show true neighbor love? How?—Matthew 22:39; John 13:34, 35. 4. Are you kind, tenderly compassionate and forgiving toward others?—Ephesians 4:31; Romans 12:10. 5. In your daily life, do you avoid lying, stealing, cheating and the use of obscene and abusive language?—Ephesians 5:3-5; 4:25-31. 6. Are you inclined to think that sexual morality is of minor importance?—Mark 7:20-23. 7. Do you tend to excesses in eating and drinking?—Proverbs 23:20, 21; Ephesians 5:18. 8. Do you try to communicate true Christian faith to others by word and deed?—Romans 10:9, 10; 1 Corinthians 9:16. At what conclusion do you arrive? Do true Christians really exist today? Do you know of any who earnestly try to live like Christ and at the same time make a real effort to communicate their Christian belief and way of life to their neighbors? Does your own religion in fact teach and practice genuine Christianity? Or is this just an attractive label or impressive signature?
You are repeating the same thing over and over again and not taking in what I have already said in replied posts to you. I am really starting to think you have some sort of mental problem or a problem with memory. Also, not sticking to each point brought out. For some reason you bring in something else. For example, take a look at your question about the Sabbath and also about what is done in God's name. It's almost like you never even read my reply. This is completely going nowhere. I have tried to keep up with your merry-go-round but can't be bothered anymore. I have other more sensible people to talk to. Go waste someone elses time and slander them.
I'm still waiting for this evidence that supports creationism cheapseoservices. it is, After all, The lack of evidence that stops you believing evolution, isn't it? If that is the case, With all the evidence that evolution has, The evidence which makes you favour creationism must be pretty water tight. So let's have it. Evidence us up on creationism. I'll do you a deal, Post one shred of evidence that suggests if evolution is wrong creationism should take it's place and i'll come join your money hungry, happy clappy, door knocking cult tomorow.
You would not recognize the evidence if it came up in front of you and bit you. You know why I say this? Because I have already provided the evidence. Check my prior posts. I stated it very clearly. Yet, you don't want to get off your butt to go see. You are a time waster st0x. An annoying one at that.
So, there is a God, the father. and Jesus, the Son. and Maria, the Mother. Now the question: Is Christians a monotheist religion? Jew and Islam is a monotheist religion. they believe only one God. What about christian? Do you pray to Jesus, or pray to God, or pray to Maria? Is God has a name? I think christian use the same way as european kingdom.
Correct. Mary, Maria, it's Englishized anyway. A true Christian should follow what the Bible teaches. One God. The only true God as per 1 Cor 8:4-6 explains this very clearly. As Jesus taught, we should pray to God through Jesus (him being the mediator). Mary has nothing to do with how we pray. Read Matthew 14:23 (Jesus prayed to God). John 14:6 (Jesus states prayer must go through him in order to be heard by God). Psalm 83:18 say's what God's name is quite clearly. Jehovah. Col
