I don't mind if you give scripture references, but please no loooooooonnng quotes. I can look things up myself!

Atheists are also welcome to answer. If you wish to reference anything specific to back up your beliefs, that is ok also.

NO SLAMMING OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BELIEFS IS ALLOWED. All such answers will be reported. I only want to hear what YOUR FAITH teaches.

There's one lie in particular that's been eating at you and you have to make right. Explain the harm the lie caused and how you intend to rectify it.

All of them seem to disagree on so much. If all of us believe in Jesus then why do we disagree so much? This makes no sense.

happens when the human body dies. Why busy oneself, while alive as to what death will bring. All there is is NOW, this moment-the rest is manufactured mind produce.

MUSLIMS ARE FUNDAMENTALISTS AND TERRORISTS

Question:

Why are most of the Muslims fundamentalists and terrorists?

Answer:

This question is often hurled at Muslims, either directly or indirectly, during any discussion on religion or world affairs. Muslim stereotypes are perpetuated in every form of the media accompanied by gross misinformation about Islam and Muslims. In fact, such misinformation and false propaganda often leads to discrimination and acts of violence against Muslims. A case in point is the anti-Muslim campaign in the American media following the Oklahoma bomb blast, where the press was quick to declare a ‘Middle Eastern conspiracy’ behind the attack. The culprit was later identified as a soldier from the American Armed Forces.

Let us analyze this allegation of ‘fundamentalism’ and ‘terrorism’:

1. Definition of the word ‘fundamentalist’

Many people here in the USA seem to have a problem making new friends....usually those of the opposite sex. I have noticed that many of the questions here comfirm this. Same old story....'I'm too shy'

My question is: "Is this just a problem with Americans or do you have the same problem in your country?" (if you don't mind, would you please tell me what country you're from?)

**FYI - I'm not shy in any way**

A Jew told me YHWH translates into I am.

When Moses asks, in response to the calling of God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" He is first given a description and told to tell the sons of Israel that "I AM the One I AM" אהיה אשר אהיה, or "I AM whatever I need to become".

What is the name of God according to the bible, and what did Jesus call Him?

The Atheist population is growing. Especially with teenagers

Will the belief in God be a joke in the future?

What would you say if Adam lived for Billions of years in paradise?
What would you say if creatures which closely resembled humans were present in paradise with Adam but did not have the same capacity as humans?
What would you say if all creatures worked together in perfect peace and harmony?
What would you say if No evolution took place but was actually the observation of these myriads of creatures which no longer exist?
Aside from spending all that time and effort trying to disprove God, or make God fit into the evolutionary mind set, all things that were ever observed were placed on this sphere for the human race to manage for the glory of God?
Not that it is very clear in the Bible but it is possible that God did all this because he could. Does it take any more faith to believe this then it takes to believe in evolution?
