And Jesus never said anything about supporting a church (building). He did not have a church.

Is that because Blacks and Jews afraid of one?
Is that because ACLU will have a good opponent?
How come the Majority in this country is unprotected against fraud,racism and discrimination.
Please, don't give me a damn thing about "Whites don't need any protection because they are majority" or "Whites have a lot of power".

Did Muhammad or Allah go through page by page and tell you what is wrong (according to their opinion)? Really it doesn't make sense to say The Holy Bible can't be trusted, BUT Muhammad was prophesized in it, so trust it.

When did you begin becoming anti-American and why? And what makes you so arrogantly sure that you know Americans enough to hate them? George Bush as president isn't enough to use as an excuse either. I mean your real underlying reasons for hating the USA and Americans.

Are Atheists aware that an expedition in the 1990's to the Mountains of Ararat found Noah's Ark? I'd suggest that Atheists (lovers of truth, their current "truth" being: There is no God) research this for themselves. After they've done this and other requisite research, maybe it will dispel their fairytale/strawman assertions that there is no God.

Man has survived many threats to his existance and growth. To what might we attribute this ability to survive these threats?

I'm curious.
When witnessing the gospel of Christ, SOME (notice I said SOME) people find it necessary to rather forcefully preach hellfire and condemnation (ie judgement). This is especially prevelent on this forum. Why is this?
Jesus asks us to spread the gospel of peace and salvation.... not the gospel of hellfire and damnation. Don't you agree?

I feel like I am being convicted about my salvation, but that doesn't make sense because I was definetly saved a while back. The rest of the time that I am not convicted, I feel more than sure that I am Christian. Anyone who wants to make remarks like, "God isn't real" or "haha, conviction, that's a good one", please resist the temptation. Thank you so much for your answers.

Part two of my question when it comes to women and relationships who do women change their minds so much? I mean for instance a man can have his indifferences with his girlfriend, wife or whatever - settle it and everything is suppose to be fine; However, a lot women will bring the same drama up anyway - what's up with that?

If you had lived during a religious persecution, would you have pretended to go along with the beliefs of the persecutors to ensure your safety and that of your family?
Have you ever lied about or covered up your true beliefs because of fear of prejudice, at work for example, or in a social situation where you feared negative consequences?

may I share with you what the Catechism of the Catholic Church says about it, and then hear YOUR answers:

CCC 1 - God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life.

What are you thoughts on why this is happening? Free to be witty, but I'm also looking for serious responses.
thank you

What does this mean to you and how does it effect free will?
Romans 8:29&30-
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image to His Son, that He might be the first-born among many bretheren; and whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified: and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Yes I read all of the book.
no I'm not taking it out of context.
Our preacher preached on it today.
I have a bunch of questions but I guess my two biggest ones would be:
1) If I am predestined (and thank you, God, by the way) did I really have free will to begin with or did it just appear to be free will since it was God ordained that I was to be a Christian?
2) Why does God allow people to be born that He knows are going to hell?
Maybe these are stupid questions. Please don't be rude.
