So are you presenting yourselves as Hypocrites or Loving folks?

I have never called anyone on this site a derogatory name, never insulted a person or wished any harm, I have stated my beliefs as a Christian as a follower of Current Events and Prophecy and the Unexplained, and only attacked a non belief system, yet from atheists i have been called an idiot stupid moron, the list is enldess from a group of people that say they love humanity?HMMMmm???
Maybe the love humanity that are just not the ones they think are fundies....
You are a GREAT REPRESENTATION why Athesim will never grow in the USA, and why President Bush mistakes and all was greeted with such love and respect this Labor Day in Iraq with the US Marine Corp
I know I am a sinncer I know that I can be like you Atheists that can be intolerant, but tolerance comes from GOD through prayer.. You
don't owe me an apology because I am not your judge GOD is..
Now do you understand the difference between a believer?

I know, you just want emotional support. Isn't it more like you just want a sounding-board to dump on?

On the one hand, I can see how facing the thought of your own demise might be considered "hard".

On the other hand, to come up with a weird excuse that fits your version of scripture contradiction or belief system that does not fit anywhere in the realm of truth, and then convince yourself it is true; now that must be hard as well!

I just wonder which is harder to do?

Basically... I believe in God. I really do. And i want to believe in good. And i know he exists. Summary= I believe in God/Know he exists

The only problem is every once in a while I start thinking these random thoughts (that i don't want) about "what if God doesn't exist?" or "does heaven really exist?" or "God doesn't seem like he is helping me" or "what if when i die nothing happens...its just done" and/or many other things

What i am trying to say is that I do believe in God.... Know he exists.... And want to completely believe in God..... But i feel guilty about all these random thoughts even though i know i don't believe them....

Can you help me get rid of these thoughts/Is it a problem/a sin that I am having these uncontrollable thoughts every once in a while?


TY

I saw a guy I liked in a different city while I was on business. The project ended unexpectedly & I prayed that I miraculously be sent back. It happened. However, things went badly w/the guy situation which also affected my work in a really bad way. A co-worker had me terminated as a result. Now, I am looking to leave everything behind on the East Coast & start something new out West. If none of these events happened this year, I would not be starting afresh. Could everything have happened for this reason???

The Catholics say that Mary is full of Grace and because of that she is sinless. That verse in Luke 1:28 is misinterpreted because that comes from the Latin Vulgate which was a Latin interpretation of the orignal Greek. This is what the orignal Greek says. The Greek calles her Highly Favored. Not Full of grace. Which is a different word.In Greek it is the single Greek word kexaritomena and means "highly favored, make accepted, make graceful," etc. It does not mean "full of grace" which is "plaras karitos" (plaras = full and karitos = Grace) in the Greek
Now comes the second part. Was Mary sinless? Here is the verse you tell me. It would seem not, since she said she needed a savior in Luke 1:47, "And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior."
I have sent these questions to imacatholic2 and he has not been able to answear them. Is there any Catholic out there that can successfully answear these questions. If there is I would love to chat with you over the internet. Thank you all

I recently learned that Chimpanzees are so close to us, that if you matched blood types we could have a blood transfusion with each other. Yet we can't do that with others like gorillas.

So...did "god" do this so we can just use them to our benefit if need be?

There are over 4,900 identified religions and gods in the history of mankind. Why do you believe in the one you insist is the right one? Have you studied all 4,900 religions and CHOOSE Christianity? Or are you just a christian because you were, as a child, TOLD to be, so you just go with the flow? Did you ever truely think for yourself, or do you just go with what you know because you were told to?

Oh, and by the way, the odds of YOUR god being the right one? 1 / 4,900 = .00020408

Every one sins, and all sins are equal. No one is sinless. The path to Heaven is through Jesus and that is the only way, according to Christians.

So, if a gay person accepts Jesus as their savior, why are they going to Hell, and why is Gay and Christian two labels that cannot be combined?

Yes, they are "sinning", but EVERY ONE sins, so what's the problem?

What about Promiscuous Christians? Do you ever look at a member in your church and think that person is going to Hell or is not a true Chrisitian, because you know they've had premarital sex?

How about Rich Christians, or any Chrsitian who desires money and a lavish lifestyle? I remember Jesus telling one rich man to sell everything and give all his money away, because he cannot love God if he also loves money.

And any Christian who has ever told a lie, and continues to lie with no intentions of giving up telling white lies?

All sins are equal, so how is telling a lie different from being gay?

Since the state cuts the check on the first, I had giiven the paperwork to my friend to send it with her son to the Disability Board, since he goes there daily. Now, when I called the Disability Board, they said that they never received the paperwork. I called my friend and she said that "she forgot", now it is ANOTHER month before i can get paid. She did this LAST month and was upset that she had to pay me out of her pocket and wait to get reimbursed. Now she just bought another car, her job is on the line, she was put on probabtion, and I am out the money.

Satanism isn't really much of my thing, though I do know some about it, but I recently got into a bit of an argument with some kid who claims to understand LaVeyan Satanism, and he keeps spouting off about how one of its main themes is 'not hurting animals and other people'. To my knowledge, LaVey talked about not tolerating one's enemies and vanquishing them at the drop of a hat. Where is this kid getting this stuff?

and Sweeden a society that drains the government of there lack of work ethics.

I am not hateful or bashing atheists just giving you a true dose of why an unbelief in GOD will never prevail in the USA.. President Bush has made mistakes but we have never had a terrorist attack since 9/11 which can surely be attributed to the Clinton Administration.
Britian and Europe have constant terrorist problems. Russia is growing and so is Iran in Military Power and that is why many christians like myself believe prophecy is being fullfilled because we could actually be brought down for the first time by a nuclear war.

And yes Democrats are christian I was just saying the USA is a God loving society and that is why atheism will not grow here and make a mustard seed of difference to the populous.. Why have Atheists regimes always failed?

I mean what if this so clled Holy Bible was just a book by author like Harry Potter. Probably in 1,000,000 another civilization will find Harry Potter and think that real stuff happened. Please answers my other question about religion too. Also, we have never seen god and we have never sensed his presence. H never gave us a sign. It might just be testing faith but letting are loved ones die even when we believe in him is bulshit!!
