I used to read books about the "savages" that had piercings all over their bodies and they were soooo ugly and they were killed everywhere they could be found because they were "heathen savages". What makes us so different?

when they answer with just a reference to scripture, e.g. Romans: 5,6,7,8, hut, hut, hike?

Do they really expect anyone is going to read through 10 pages of mind-numbingly boring and irrelevant bible quotes? Or worse have the desire to track down every bible quote reference to see what the heck their argument was? It's like they expect us to go on some biblical treasure hunt just to figure out what their point was. Well, I guess God does work in mysterious ways.

do you say anything to stop it? be honest. if you don't, why dont you? i find it just as bad as using 'retarded' as a word to describe something ridiculous.

So do the not-so-bad unbelievers get... flames that aren't so hot?

I just think burning flames for more than 100,000,000,000 years (infinity... but I'm just tossing in a big number) is a bit overboard for that poor kid... who led a peaceful life, loving others, following buddhist ways... and who was only 15 when he was murdered, old enough to make the decision to not accept Jesus or the Christian God, but he was saturated in the wrong culture, wrong religion... poor kid

One of the commandments states Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Why not Thou shalt not commit rape?

I am not saying adultery is ok but I am sure that the vast majority of women are going to agree that they would rather their husband cheat on them than rape them.

Is God saying that it is worse to cheat than to rape your wife?

did you perform any test?
why don't you just try to experience it and see
you can pray to God for forgiveness, and accept Jesus Christ into your heart
try reading something from the bible and ask yourself do you feel more peaceful, or anything?

Is July 4th just another day? Is it insulting to see our celebrations on TV? Is it something nobody talks about? Am I insane to be so curious about how British people feel today? I know everybody is cool today, but is there a little resentment? I love you UK!

I know the majority of you do not have teaching certificates. Why do you think your child does not need to be taught by a qualified professional?

Or do you think God gives you all the teaching skills you need? If so, why do *any* teachers need to bother with teaching certificates?

I'm a christian and one day wants to be a youth minister or a speaker. I know and believe that fear God is very important for if you do not fear him then you do not love or respect him as God. And I believe in christ.....But I don't feel I believe it with every ounce of my being! I know I'm to fear God but I don't feel I fear him as much as I'm supposed to! Am I doing something wrong? And also I sometimes feel great inside and feel as though his presence is within me but sometimes I feel nothing and it bothers me! Am I really a christain if I don't believe it with every ounce of my mind?

The alternative: You can prove the validity of Jesus' teachings by simply recalling your experiences and comparing them with what Jesus actually said. - (You can do the same with the teachings of Ganhi, Sidhartha Buddha, Confucius, and Mohammad (during his early years).

Since "God" was going to go through all the trouble and come down to earth, why not really stand out? leave something for the next generations that proves that he is god?

You say that he was born without a father? Adam didn't have a father, he didn't even have a mother.

Jesus' miracles were not his own:
Joh 5:30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. (He is not omnipotent)

It is clear that Jesus and God are 2 different entities, however there are verses in the Bible which contradict this.
