I know we don't all agree on everything,do we sprinkle,pour,or immerse when baptizing etc.But what would have to be some truths, that we would all have to agree upon in order for us to be called Christians?

Remember God antecedes man made religions. Man will always have his imperfections. Not God! He came first, man came next at the hand of the creator. Man is debased in nature and will never ever fully represent God as he should to a secular humanistic society. Man is imperfect and immoral, corrupt, and also power hungry. God sent his son(Jesus) to restore fallen man and reconcile fallen man to his creator.

Why do Atheists judge a wise and loving creator who created all things through the eyes and mores of imperfect systems of worship that try their best to point man to his maker? John 3:16.

Why judge God so harsely due to the failures of religion? Why do you choose to be antagonistic toward God?
Why do you choose separation from God rather than communion with him.

God loves you and cares for you deeply. I know with my whole heart without a shadow of doubt that God exists and he cares deeply for each of you. He desires to give you hope and an eternal future with him.

Most of you who frequent R&S know that my answers are usually harmless wisecracks, or genuine answers aimed at answering someone's question--or occasionally refuting some clown's hate-spewing drivel (in other words, my answers are more or less in keeping with most other intelligent R&S-addicts' answering habits).

That said--has anyone else every received emails like these from someone like this? My guess is, this guy is probably ten or eleven and is sneaking onto his mommy's computer to try and pick childish fights with actual adults. Read on, and tell me what you think:

Some Christians have said here that they don't feel bad for people in Hell, because they supposedly choose to burn for being the wrong religion or thinking the wrong thing. What if your friends or relatives were of a different religion? Does that not bother you?

I am a Christian, but I am very interested in learning about different beliefs. Can anyone tell me about these:? Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists? Also, can anyone tell me about any other belief? You are welcome to bring about ANY. I think that different beliefs help you learn about a person. I would research this, but who better to tell me than a person that believes in that certain culture?

this seems to be one of your favorite scriptures to quote..trying to make God out as unjust...Babylon had destroyed Zion killing God's people..David spoke of this as a prayer to God.it is the vengeance of the Lord..as Babylon had done to Israel....so shall it fall on Babylon...You forget the promise God made to Abraham...those that bless you I will bless...Those that curse you I will curse....

According to my brother, who is a U.S. Marshall, no criminal investigation has ever been solved with any information that came from a psychic. This is contrary to popular belief.

Also ponder this. The Psychic Friends Network filed for bancruptcy. You would think that they should have seen that coming. And, how come when you call, they ask you for your credit card number? They are the psychics, so shouldn't they already know your credit card number ?

If any psychic out there can tell me something specific - like my social security number, that would change my opinion of this nonsense.

DVD movies have different languages, subtitles, deleted scenes, interviews and loads of other features. Here's an idea and I can't believe this hasn't been implemented. There are many good films that I am comfortable letting my kids watch except there are some curse words that I'd rather they not hear. So it would be really simple just to have a bad language suppress setting (or even just a bleep). I think this should be a standard feature on all DVD movies. What do you think?

I can't help feel broken. I've had my world crash in on me this past week and everything that was normal and secure has ended. Now, we are dealing with financial problems and worrying whether we are going to get past this. I am helpless in this because I can't work, I have two kids and no daycare or family to watch them. Plus the job my husband just got leaves him on call so I can't help but be supportive. But how do you heal your broken spirit when you can't even heal your family?

I'm seeing this everywhere, one of the main stereotypes of Britons is that we don't wash or clean our teeth. For most of us if we found out someone didn't do these things on a daily basis we would be completely disgusted! This is why I dont understand could someone enlighten me?

p.s. i know we dont have the straighest teeth ever but thats genes not dental hygiene, and we get dental treatment free on the NHS so wouldnt that mean we have better dental hygiene?

A Christian just typed this in an answer to another question. "We all sin, but the only difference, is that when we sin, we are supposed to take responsibility for our actions and apologize to those we've hurt. "

So...um, what do we nonbelievers DO after we've hurt someone? I've always taken responsibility for my actions and apologized, but apparently that's what sets Christians apart from others.

So what do you do? I really missed the boat on this one!
