So these are all Christian faiths, but what are the fundamental differences in their beliefs?

I'd really like an answer from someone who knows please.

Thank you.

To clairify; in another question, I saw a lady mention that "demonic footholds" can be a DVD or cassette of a horror movie. I have also heard religious people in my family refer to certain TV programs as "evil" and as "inviting to evil spirits". May I ask how this exactly occurs?

I have seen a few unexplained things in my life, but never anything that scared me once I meditated on it some. Perhaps you can share your theories with me about these footholds and objects even, that supposedly attract evil? I understand, that even D&D and fantasy figurines do?

Do you not understand that by being so strong in your approach to bringing people to Christ that you are actually pushing them away from Christ? When you do things such as jam things like the threat of hell do you not realize that you push people away from Christ?

I really know very little about what this religion believes in.

I'm curious, does anyone know some of their basic beliefs?

What do they believe that is different from say Catholics?

(I also don't know the differences between Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Evangelicals', etc. Anyone with any info on that would be nice too.)

wasn't he a good man except for that incident that happened when he betrayed jesus?

because he felt bad for betraying jesus and not knowing he would be crucified. so he hung himself . and he returned the coins too!. that meant he cared and felt sorry for what he'd done!! couldn't he be forgiven??


i feel bad for him!!

Here is a little extract...

Dawkins writes that The God Delusion contains four "consciousness-raising" messages:

Atheists can be happy, balanced, moral, and intellectually fulfilled.

Natural selection and similar scientific theories are superior to a "God hypothesis" — the illusion of intelligent design — in explaining the living world and the cosmos.

Children should not be labelled by their parents' religion. Terms like "Catholic child" or "Muslim child" should make people flinch.

Atheists should be proud, not apologetic, because atheism is evidence of a healthy, independent mind.

I also recommend people to read this link too...

OBVIOUSLY, evolution is real, but who created it? how was the universe and space created? something obviously created it and that is GOD. how do you think it all happened it came out of your ***? it is true that atheists believe in science, but science knows there is an explanation to everything, and what never found out how this whole universe was created and why space is never ending. REPLY TO THIS ATHEISTS. prove me wrong.

if everything was made from nothing
who/what do u think created this???
1. DNA's
2.Cells & brain cells
3.sexual organs [male and felmale matching up so they can have babies] like god says something about to multiply
4.the sun. its the closest star to us that happens to be in the perfect location. The Proxima Centauri could've been the closest star but earth was in the way making it perfect for us.
5.human's the 5 senses
6.love
7.feet and hands to hold and walk, organs [lungs and heart & bladder] if god didn't exist.-we couldve been born with no asshole and the **** wud get stuck. dont u think or the bladder probably wud've burst? lol sorry

all this couldn't have been made from NOTHING or the BIG BANG
dont u think ONE thing could've been wrong such as no air?? but its not that way, so we know god created all this.

why do unbelievers try to make up the excuse of it all JUST HAPPENED to try to prove us believers wrong?? cuz it obviously doesnt prove anything.

If God were the real pure intelligence OR energy would he want his creatures to kill each other in his name.Does it make God look awfully intelligent?Isn't it like a mother bringing up her children and grandchildren to fight each other in her name ostensibly?How many parents have the guts to let their progeny choose their own faith after they attain the requisite maturity.Why do people fight in the name of books which they say were faxed from heaven?Don't all these books require their followers to think and come to the conclusions and realisations.Aren't all these books doctored over the centuries and vetoed by presidents?Why don't they focus on similarities instead of differences?Do they read the other books before claiming their book is right?Is it time for a new religion a new way of life ?Who'll take the lead?

If a prostitute who is also a believer has repented and sins no more, is she safe until her next sin? If she sins again, and repents again, is she safe until her next sin? Does she have to die while sinning to go to hell? Just how forgiving is this Jesus?

If your answer is no, then why some Christians believe in Original Sin?

I got an answer to my earlier question about the Fourth of July,
it is Independence day, it falls on the fourth each year, but I think a long weekend would be better for everybody. What do you think? Agree or disagree?

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.

Romans 5:15
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.
For if through the offence of one many be
dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift
by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ,
hath abounded unto many.

Is it a lack of belief of God or a lack of belief in religion? I know the dictionary definition, but I’ve seen conflicting Atheist views on here. Is it the same in Atheism as it is in Christianity...different sects of Atheism?

My mother and father are in denial of my choice of "religion"... and refuse to accept that I am an atheist. *sigh* I think I'm almost ready to tell my extended family my "beliefs" but my parents are doing everything they can to stop me.....

Is there any way to make them understand and respect my choice? (my parents and my extend family) I'm afraid I might just have to distance myself from my extremely Christian family next year when I graduate because I cannot handle their disrespect any more.... I have never once tried to tell them their religion is wrong... not once... but I can't go an hour hearing about how I'm going to suffer and it isn't to late...

I really need some help here....
