How can you claim God is responsible for all of creation, then absolve him of responsibility for the parts that fail?

The Bible says Satan is the god of this world.

He promises money and power to those who spread the message he whispers in their hearts.

Above all, Satan wants to spread the message of Polytheism because that is the Cardinal Sin.

Monotheism is the foundation of all success, Say your Lord is ONE.

I suppose you would agree that creationists believe that everything came from God but... they cannot explain where God came from. Tell me, if you knew that God came from 'X' then would you want to know where 'X' came from? Then if you were told that 'X' came from 'Y' would you not then ask where 'Y' came from? We could go on for hours! Then you would ask that it has all got to start from somewhere?! And that is where I would be happy to rest with GOD. I wonder what you have to say about that? Lets see if you've got the bottle to answer this without fumbling?

Is Jesus not the head of the church, and he made a way for us to have fellowship with God(Jehovah). So why do we need the pope as an intercessor.

There's an emergency. My boss came into my office yesterday and told me that he had tried to reach a close friend on mine (who we both know). We don't know what it is. We've tried to call and have left a text message but haven't received a response in more than 24 hours. His office has been closed for two days now. I know that when he gets a chance, he will call in to our office. In the meantime - all I can do is sit and pray for him. Could you all pray for him, too? Thanx!

We are given by continuing Revelation the Eternal Truth-fact of the Paradise Trinity as the Infinite Absolute Unity of Three Coordinate Deity Persons:

God the Father and God the Son and God the Spirit

How do these Three Persons project into one or two Spirits down here in the universe with us? He the Spirit of Truth and She (or He) the Holy Spirit ?

Just some food for thought ..
GOD is a infinite being, a spirit, a energy source.
That being said.. Science has no way to measure infinity

In the Book of Genesis it says *in the beginning GOD created
Heaven and Earth. It does not say Earth or what if might of been made up of did not exsist, that is why evolution can uncover secrets of earth billion of years ago.. This Planet was here but it did not sustain a enviroment for human beings....ONLY when GOD created this planet for his creation
do we see that written in the Book of Genesis.

If GOD could destroy the earth with the flood, what makes you think he could not have created or destroyed this planet before Adam and Eve came on scene?

I have seen Christains telling other Christians that they are not "true" or "real" and there are many denominations with varying degrees of liberalism and conservativeness in each.

I have seen (on rare occasions) some atheists tell other atheists that they aren't atheists because they believe in an afterlife, or something else that isn't scientifically proven.

Agnostics are even subdivided into weak, strong, deist/theist, or atheist.

And, please forgive me if I am wrong as this is outside my experience, isn't there 3 types of Buddhism?

I ask, not to cause trouble, but out of curiosity.

Do you allow your beliefs to define you or do you define your beliefs?
Are they subject to change with experience, or do you deny yourself experiences that may cause change?

I asked why a god who could make a universe couldn't make a book without ambiguity. I asked this question two different ways.

I'm told that if God had done that, he'd have interfered with free will.

So then I ask if God writing a book without ambiguity would have interfered with free will, why did he write a book at all.

I'm told that god did not write a book full of ambiguity, that god wrote a perfectly understandable handbook for how we are to live.

(o.O)

You get one excuse to handle one problem, and then they totally reverse themselves to hand you an excuse for the problem their earlier excuse created.

And this circus act -never- ends.

I have to wonder, don't christians -ever- get sick and tired of making excuses for thenonsense and superstition they claim to believe? Have they compartmentalized their beliefs for so long that they are completely unaware of how often they contradict one another?

Isn't it Christians alone who sew the seeds of confusion?

My syllabus says:
Write a 700 word paper that identifies a contemporary myth prevalent in North American society. Describe how this particular contemporary myth has shaped your values, practices, and worldview. If the myth has not shaped you directly and personally, analyze how it has affected the society around you.
_____________________________________________

So is my instructor asking to just talk about any modern myth that we hear today, like the tooth fairy or something?

Any ideas? Please help!

I myself think there is good in all religions EXCEPT the Catholic Church, I think that they are the most corrupt religion out there. Why are some religions so close minded that they think they have the ONLY TRUE religion? What do you think of what the Pope said and do you believe that your religion is the only "True" religion and why do you think that? Do you really think that God will only save one religion?
Below is a link to the Pope thing....

As I approach my 70th birthday, I'm wishing i'd taken notes. I'd write a book about the dozens of little things I didn't expect about aging. Little aches and pains, vision problems, etc., those things are more or less expected. But what about other things? I'd make a little list, but I've forgotten them all. LOL. How about you?
