[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?
except for the fact that God does not hear the prayers of the unsaved...
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.
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!
Some will say that I am being intolerant, and so be it! I will gladly be intolerant to a false religion.
[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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
[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...
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.
As for Mohammed, I'm not even going to start. Here's the math; one mohammed + pyote + cave= Answer: strange hallucinations, and a book
I was tying Mohammid to all the other dreamed up and demon inspired cults. Sorry I wasn't clear with that!
i dont think mohammed was on any drugs at all - he was just decieved by a demon posing as an angel
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.
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.
puratory is as existent as valhalla
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!
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.
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 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?
Atheism is just made up. Its not real.
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.
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.
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.
[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.
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.
So God killed 42 kids, how many has Mao killed?
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!!
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!
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...
I would suggest, a) The Universe and b) The Resurrection of Jesus. There is no better explanation than the fact that "God Did It"!
He was amazing. His genocide and firm hand were over excessive in something that were needed
See, here you go again. Equating politics with religion. You'd make a good pope.
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.
[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.
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.
I would just like to say that Hitler never orderd the exacution of the Jews. That was his henchmens ideas. HItlers antisemitic policies were as a result of the antisemitic nature of Germany at the time. Hitler wanted power, the German people disliked the Jews (for whatever reasons ie "stealing jobs") SO hitler just gav ethe people what they wanted. It was the people whio felt betrayed by the Treaty at Versile. Its was the people who wanted war. Hitler just wanted power. SO he saw the people asking for a certain leader and he adapted himself to be that leader. Hitlers master plans for wiping out the jews are ficticious. History is written by those who won the war. In actual fact there is evidence that HItler didnt know about the concentraion camps until after the extermination had begun. Its scary to know how little power he had over his cabinet and little cronies.
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.
God has killed more [than Hitler] and will send more than half of all humanity to hell... does that make Him bad? No.
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.
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.
Humanoid isn't really a scientific word. It's purly out of the pages of star trek scripts.
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.
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.
[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)
