The wonder of Grace, I am told, is that it is unmerited. Several people, including Philip Yancey in his well-known book What's So Amazing About Grace described it as "unfair," because it is given to us despite the fact the we don't deserve it: particularly as some are selected over others (the others seem to be rather glossed over).

Now, if I saved one person out of many from a natural disaster, I would not be "unfair" because I chose one and not another. However, suppose I have an unlimited budget, time and resources, but still chose to only save a few of the survivors, and left the rest to starve. Would that still not be "unfair"? The problem with such human analogies if that we have limited power, limited time, limited ability. I would not be unfair only because I can't do it for everyone - choosing is morally neutral only because of this.

So: grace is called unfair, but for a being with unlimited power to be unfair is ipso facto unethical. Romans 8 only states that God is powerful and we're not, skirting the ethical issue entirely. Does "unfair" grace make God morally deficient?

Do you believe that it really matters what particular belief a person has, whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Shinto, Hindu etc.?

Please share what you believe?

So, a recent answer I saw said "Sweety, Christians can't be gay. It's specifically said so in the Bible. "

Where does it say you can't be gay and believe in God?

I mean...it does it say if you steal, lie, cheat, rob, beat, murder, etc....that you can't be Christian?

Of course it doesn't! It just says it's wrong...and also that person said that "sodomy is a sin and that's what gay men do" you're right, they do that...but not all of them...and you said sin...sins can be forgiven, just like your blasphemy of the bible, lying about what it says....I guess you CAN'T be a Christian now...

Does that sound ridiculous or not?

Terrorists must not be allowed to spread the false information that Jihad means "Holy War".


Feeding the poor is a Jihad

Helping the orphan is a Jihad

Speaking out against injustice is a Jihad

The mother carrying a child is a Jihad

Helping the oppressed is a Jihad

Going on the Pilgrimage is a Jihad

Self defense is a Jihad

Supporting and helping ones parents is a Jihad

“Prayer (Salaat) is the BEST Jihad” ?

Jihad in Arabic means “The struggle to do good.”

Does anyone one on here have psychic abilities? When I was little, I was very odd, quiet, scared; was afraid of men. If my mom would leave me in the car to get gas I would shake and cry. I used to have very bad thoughts when I was little (age five even) about sexual things. Not sex but other things. This really isn't the place to get into full detail about it, but I just really need some help. I feel like something happened to me when i was very very young and I want to know what. I have depression and am in counseling and stuff, but I just need someone to be able to tell me what happened to me when I was very little.

I'm not being arrogant..but I'm wondering, well my grandpa was a really great, kind loving man, and he died of a brain tumor, and well I was wondering, if there is a god, then how come he took my grandpa in such a cruel way?

When god does take people, how come he sometimes takes them cruelly (if they were good people)? thank you for answering.

I know they keep coming up with explanations whenever a discovery is made which appears to contradict evolution, but sooner or later it will fail and be seen as another theory which could not withstand the test of time.
What will you believe about your origins?
No more sludge or monkeys in the family tree.
