For about the millionth time I just saw another post indicating that Christians are hypocrites and certainly that shows proof enough to debunk Christianity as a whole . The old game of " Hey , look over here , I just saw a Christian sinning" . And of course what follows is that person's assertion that Christianity must be false because that Christian guy just did something un-Christian . HOGWASH , and I'll explain why .
Christians are not above sin . We all sin . Christians and non-Christians alike . The difference being that we are 'supposed' to recognize our sins and repent from them . We don't get it perfect and sometimes really mess it up , but because an individual screws-up doesn't make his Christian religion any less of a true entity .

I'm just wondering . . . . How Many Atheists Can Understand That ?
Or. . .Is It Your Goal To Destroy Christianity ?

Would would you do? Let's say you work with someone whose desk is DISGUSTING, and you've heard so is their home. Would you eat the food they brought to a potluck? Or what about a person, whom you've heard they don't wash their hands in the bathroom and they bring in a cake. Would you eat it?

the basic principals of Messianic Judaism? Some call it a different branch of Judaism, whilst others call it Christianity. Does anyone know anything about it?

Why did he make it look that we evolved from apes? Why did he make us so fragile and susceptible to disease? One thing is absolutely clear - He has a sick sense of humour.

If your best friend is a guy, and he's in love with you, would you give him a chance, and become his girlfriend and maybe even marry him.

I have a dry sharp and sometimes very dark sense of humour which sometimes takes a train of thought to work out what I have said. I find that this is not always "got" by people.(It does involve a element of sarcasm at times) I don't like the obvious,slapstick, or having to use foul language to get a laugh. What makes you laugh? Do you think humour differs in other countries? (I am English)

My brother encoutered this problem. The Christian Bible (from the Letter of Paul to the Phillipines) states that "Jesus cannot be crucified twice...does that mean that forgiveness is a "one shot" deal?
Baptists and Catholics would say differently...forgiveness is an ongoing process. But "hard-nosed" Christians would say washing yourself from sin is your complete forgiveness that is the only chance you get. What do you all think?

I like Paul. He shows us that even if we have totally turned our backs on God, we can still be used by Him.

There's WAY too many for me to list, but I'm sure others will provide them.

You worship the image of Jesus on the cross wearing nothing but a loin cloth. Yet you whine about shirtlessness in my avatar.

You criticize the Muslims for having certain religious beliefs, yet your religion has beliefs that are equally unacceptable.

You claim that people choose hell, but when I hold a gun to someone's head with a threat, they are not choosing my bullet.

You support freedom of religion when it comes to prayer in school, yet you deny the rights of those who wish to practice non-Christian religions.

You claim that murderers should be punished, yet deny the punishment for women who have abortions, something you claim to be murder.

You claim homosexuality is an abomination because of a verse in Leviticus, yet you ignore the other abominations from Leviticus: wearing polyester-cotton blend clothing, eating shrimp, etc.

I just got done watching a video with bill riccio in it and there was a unification rally taking place and remarked that while they don't always agree on things, they do agree on their race as their nation.

In Revelation 16:13 we read, "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet." **Please note that the beast, the false prophet, and the dragon, all had 3 unclean spirits.

In Revelation 12:9 the Bible says, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
The "dragon" is another name for satan.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 11:14, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." **Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), and his greatest triumph would be to pose as the Lord but actually be Anti-Christ. In Revealtion 13:11 we read, "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

I don't doubt that they have the ability to see our future, but are they really helping you when they tell you what they see. All of my experiences with psychics have proved to be very unhelpful. Everything they say is cryptic and by the time you figure out what they mean it's too late, and you've messed up your life in someway because you listened to them in the first place. What do you think?

And if he didn't?

What if he just created you, but offers you nothing, good or bad? What if he isn't judging you, or sending you to Hell or Heaven, but you just live your life here in Earth, and then you die, and that's it? Would you still worship him?

If your answer is no, then you're worshipping him because you want something from him, not because you love him.
