God: I created a bunch of humans starting from Adam.
Jesus: I can see that all have rebelled against you.
God: Yes, all of them are sinful!
Jesus: Your success rate of having loyal humans is pretty low for an omniscience God like you.
God: I know! I never intended it to be like this!
Jesus: So how come you created humans bound to be sinful then?
God: I did not do that! I gave them free will so that could love me sincerely and without sinning!
Jesus: And how many has?
God: No one!
Jesus: But Adam was your first creation which you intended with good deed..so how come even him could sin with just one temptation?
God: How the hell am I supposed to know!
Jesus: Why pass on the sin to other humans? Why not let them be born without sin like Adam and see if they will sin against you or not? Letting the rest of the humans be born with a sinful nature is not fair. I think you should give them a chance to prove themselves.
God: Eeeer.....never thought of that...

Thank you for your patience in this question I will show great proof as to how the dog was made and why you should not have him inside your homes only as medical reasons not for companionship. The Dog is a protector of man, he is mans best friend that is true!

What has the world come to? ,90% of the news on tv is about how someone got shot for no reason, how a inocent child gets kidnaped and killed. When will this change?.Global warming will soon fry us to death because us humans are kiling and poluting our natural enviorment. When will peace arrive?. Racism still exists , its 2007 and its yet to see an asian, black, or mexican president. When will we all join , become one, and fix all these issues in our world? when will we relize that if we dont change we are going to extinct man kind because of our selves? I know if ever single person in the world had a postive attitude, changed the way we live and act, the world would be such a better place. And i know everyone in the world has the abilty to make this world a better place before its to late.

I am amazed at some of these questions and answers here. At the core of every religion I know of, there is supposed to be tolerance. So where is it? Why all the hateful remarks against those who have different beliefs?

For years we have heard of this restaurant (I've actually eaten there) but aside from the funny sounding name I'd like to know what it means in english.

This makes it FAIR to burn someone in Hell FOREVER when they die because they are not a Christian. Agree?

2007-08-07 20:07:57 · 22 answers · asked by Jared L 1 in Religion & Spirituality

Ok, now I know not ALL Atheists do this....and I know some Christians do too....

But I hate when I read answers and I'm like yeah...ok, I see your point, and then they do it...they say things like "Atheism: The Logical Choice" Or their source for saying that the Bible is "drivel" is because of what someone else said...

And, unless someone is quoting the bible, I hate how Christians use their "source" as the Holy Bible...for a statement that was OBVIOUSLY that persons own opinion...

Don't you just hate that?

2007-08-07 20:04:51 · 16 answers · asked by CHEESUS GROYST 5 in Religion & Spirituality

Ok...so I was thinking about this...

Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

Ok, this is saying everyone, even those who pierced Him(I'm taking the people who crucified Him...so they'll return from the dead) will see Him....

When Jesus comes back, will it be too late to ask? Is it like a cutoff? I mean, if some people who live in sin and error pinning see Jesus and they're like "oh crap...they were right!" and they start to pray for forgiveness...will it be too late for them or will God accept their prayers and they'll be saved by Jesus too?

Is there a sort of point of no return from the perspective of the Lord.

Now before you answer this question i'd like to input a few perspective situations. For example I mean in the sense of his hand over your live, if for example you were raised the right road/christian upbringing, yet you chose to keep sinning, or lusting, etc. do you believe God will let you err in your ways until you decide to come back to him?

Because I believe ultimately God will forgive those who truly* repent, but my question is that road. Will God sort of "turn his back" on us if we continue a lifestyle of sin?

Thanks

So what issue/occurence/phenomenon/trend just bugs you from your perspective as a LGBT person?

why do christians try to disprove evolution by asking for evidence that they know doesnt exist yet (transitional fossils is my favorite)

why do they try to disprove evolution by pointing to the gaps in evolution as if to say "SEE!! science doesnt explain this so it MUST NOT BE TRUE and I'm right!"

this is their whole debate style because they have nothing else

"the woman he (G*D) punishes with pain in childbirth"

I haven't given birth yet, so I can't say why there's a pain, all I know is in bible, human was made AFTER the animals, right?..and animals have male and female, right? the female animals didn't steal his fruit, right?....Why do the female animals have pains in child birth too? my neighbor's dog just died in child birth last week.

"In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground."

All I know is every human sweats, not only man, but woman as well, many people still can't earn his living after sweating of his face.

I have never met a homosexual that says it's a choice. So, why do heterosexuals say that it is a choice?

So, I went to Cedar Point today (well, now it's yesterday, but whatever) and the weather was supposed to be thunder storms off and on all day. I had this planned a month in advance though, so we went anyway. As we were driving there (a 4 hour drive) the weather was getting worse and worse, so I started praying that it would clear up so we could enjoy ourselves. We get there and the parking lot's flooded. We go in and I'm still praying the entire way for better weather. The sky becomes suddenly clear around noon, and the rides start going. Then, the weather becomes BEAUTIFUL all day. We go on all the rides we wanted to (including the Maverick - - AWESOME) and then around 7:30 we decide we're going to get henna tatoos and go shopping. Our feet are starting to get sore (wet socks - eugh!) and then the sky suddenly goes dark and it starts raining and lightning. I know this wasn't a coincidence. It was an act of God! He was answering my prayers.

There are no fat or ugly avatars. Is this discrimination against fat and ugly people? For those of us who are fat and/or ugly, would you choose an avatar that more closely resembles yourself if it were available?
