Why do you believe that?

M06-V16 DON'T
DON'T show your religious tasks through outward displays. Keep them private.

So does this mean when my church does a demonstration outside my local shopping mall telling the word of Jesus it is not good?

Only "proof" we have Jesus even existed is from a book called the New Testament, which was written several hundreds years after Jesus was supposedly alive. Come on! I could sit down right now rewriting American history based on what I have been told and put in bunches of stuff with what I want people to believe! That's all the Bible is!

The truth will set you free, but first it will tick you off.

A mistake gets us in trouble, pride is what keeps us there.

I'm more than a little disappointed at people on Yahoo. When i have given them honest answers which are of TRUTH. JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUTH. But time and again among a dozen answers which often rebuke TRUTH and deny THE LORD and venemously disregard good answers of GOD. There often may be a few good answers with Scriptual support for their statements. And moral arguements which are TRUE. But repeatedly as if to mock THE LORD they pick the stupidest answer. Is there faith left in the world? I do realize it is a sign of the last of days. But then they say CHRISTians are stupid. And yet they who do not enter in, will not suffer those who do to enter in.

Still i cannot understand in knowing the wickedness of the devil, they would prefer to follow the devil. Or is it just a small group of satan worshippers posing as athiests and pagans who are trying to ruin this forum?

I am trying to come up with a good activity or craft for the Sunbeams. The Lesson is "I Love My Brothers and Sisters" but all the ideas they give might make the single children left out. So I am trying to find one that doesnt exclude them but goes with lesson.

The fruits of sola scriptura has been division. There are now many denominations (see below) and more than one is too many. They have serious differences in fundamental issues

Division is against the Bible:
• Jn. 10:16 - there shall be one flock and one shepherd
• Jn. 17:20-21 - I pray ... for those who will believe in me ... that they may all be one
• 1 Cor. 1:10 - I urge that there be no divisions among you
• 1 Cor. 14:33 - he is not the God of disorder

So, "sola scriptura" must be a false doctrine

Partial list of denominations:

Adventists
African Methodist Episcopal Church
Anabaptists
Anglican
Assemblies of God
Baptists
Calvinism
Christian Churches and Churches of Christ
Christian Methodist Episcopal Church
Christian Reformed Church
Christian Science
Church of God
Church of Ireland
Church of Scotland
Church of the Brethren
Church of the Nazarene
Churches of Christ
Churches of God in North America (General Eldership)
Congregationalism
Disciples of Christ
Episcopal Church

instead of creating a person (his son) and killing him? that seems kind of cowardly and not a real sacrifice, especially considering that jesus went to heaven and is currently hanging out with his dear old dad.

can you help me understand this?

No one explained yesterday how you can take some inorganic elements, add some energy and time, and poof, end up with life. Know why no one gave an answer?.............it can't be done. There's a missing ingredient, information. Without information, you can't get life. And the information has to come from an intelligence.

If someone can explain the emergence of life, and leave God out of the equation, I would like to hear it. And please put it into your own words, without cut and pasting half a book or saying to go to www.blahblahblah.com

When I ask a simple and tasteful question? I don't take offense at this...I am just curious what people think.

2007-07-08 02:37:00 · 11 answers · asked by Moo Moo Mair 6 in Etiquette

Do you believe that it's okay for your god to murder or steal because he's a god and you're not, and that no matter what actions your god engages in, you're going to listen to it and do "as it says" not "as it does?"

Are there any other leaders you find this acceptable in? Do you vote?

How is a god like that worth worshipping? Why bother?


[Please note, this is inspired by a person who said her god was above all moral law. This concept, coupled with the axis mundi/ Kingdom of earth as it is in heaven concept terrifies me. Divine right of kings, anyone?]

Why do atheists constantly bait Christians on the Religion & Spirituality site when they are neither religious nor spiritual?

I copied this Christian's question directly out of a responding answer to another question.

It's a fair inquiry, I'd say, and it deservs a fair response.

So my fellow atheists, how do we respond? What are some of our reasons for questioning the validity of god and what complaints do we attach to the practices of christianity and the other god-based religions.

everything good that happens is because god allows it, god planned it, whatever, but anything that god directly does (like flood the earth) that's evil, it was apparently caused by man and we deserved it so it's our fault. has god ever had to take responsibility for anything bad?

... or are they merely trying to find more victims ... er ... "converts" to appease their blood-thirsty, sadistic Abuser?

How often have we heard that if not for God they'd not care about anyone?

How often have we seen them tell us they love God more than their children, spouse, or anything else of this world?

This week I asked Christians how many would spurn Free Will if it meant the difference between their child living and their child dying. Not one would give up Free Will (God's "gift", don't you know), even if it meant their own child died because of it.

So when they say they "care for humanity", isn't that the same kind of "care" a butcher feels for cows?
