This question could be viewed as blasphemy by some. It is just a question to broaden ones scope on actual beliefs and the reasons why, even if there are none,

I do this in the name of God and no one has passed the test of temptation that I have given to them. These men are all hypocrites. I just keep on tempting and testing in the name of the Lord and hope to save a few souls.

I forgot. One guy did actually pass but it turns out that he was gay. So, that doesn't really count in my book or God's book.

Please, no flaming answers here...this is a legitimate question to Christians that popped in my head while reading answers to another question.

Why do so many Christians answer a question with scripture from the bible?

I personally don't mind when Christians speak of their beliefs. However, most of these answers I read remind me of waaaayy back in high school when I could look at a math or geometry problem and give the answer. I could give the answer...but not show my work. As the teacher said, if I couldn't show HOW I got the answer, it's not right.

I had one friend actually tell me that any good virtue such as love, understanding, committment, and so on were Christian concepts. He witnessed to a man one night and the man stopped him. The man responded "I don't care what bible verse you use or what Jesus said, what do you think?" My friend was stuck. Without speaking scripture, he himself couldn't answer. So why not answer with what YOU think without scripture?

In the context of the answer, can a hero be seen as a legend and vice versa.

I am having to pinch myself when I think about that event.
If I was standing on a river bank and saw a little boy drowning, i don't care what role I might be trying to fulfill, i would take my shoes and socks off and dive in.
Wouldn't you?
They may have radiod for help, but there were two of them!
Am I the only one who cannot get my head round this?
Police officer, fireman, nurse, or ordinary Joe Public, does it matter who you are - surely you dive in? Don't you?
I am very keen to hear from people on this.

Or when it comes to the physical, day-to-day, up front, faced with reality, true as truth decisions, do you realize that you actually really need the tiniest, thimble-full, peek thorough your squinting eyes, semblance of proof to base your life decisions on rather than a garbage truck loaded with faith and belief?

Or did you just rear end the garbage truck?

(This is more for Hestia then anyone since she'll know as a Hellenistic pagan LOL) I'm reading the Odyssey and Kalypso is serving ambrosia and I think that's what gave them immortality? We (Heathens) have apples I was curious about the Greek.

suffering from megalomania?

Megalomania is an unrealistic belief in one's superiority, grandiose abilities, and even omnipotence. It is characterized by a need for total power and control over others, and is marked by a lack of empathy for anything that is perceived as not feeding the self.

Or is it the followers?

If the god of Arbraham is the same god for the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims, then why on earth is religon used by man as a weapon against mankind in the name of God? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever to declare a holy war against followers of the same deity, or could it be taht God is so freaking needy for attention that He deliberately pits people against one another by telling one group one thing and then changing the story and telling another group something else? It this all a game to Him? And if it isn't, then since He made the mess why doesn't He fix it if He's supposed to be all high and mighty powerful? Or is it just all made up fantasy and if so why, if man created this monsterous lie, can't man take it back?

It is against scripture.Why would you KNOWINGLY sin and condemn yourself?Or is the Bible wrong?Or maybe you haven't read it?

James 5:12
Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned

For many years I thought that it was a good thing to believe in God. I go to a public school and we are not allowed to pray during practices.Many do but, its crushall if you get caught. So Im doing a project on Prayers in Public schools. Can anyone help me prove my point on why it should be allowed. If you have any good websites or any thing that would be great. I feel that do to the first amendment peole should be allowed as long as no one is forced to join. Please help me.

My old person has been nullified
With my Lord upon the cross he died
Now in nothing shall he be applied
He is dead to me
My new Person in my spirit dwells
Springing in me as a bubbling well
Flowing out until each part He fils
With Abundant Life

Christ, My Person, in my spirit lives
And my heart toHim I'd daily give
That my inner man may have a home
And a plce to settle down, yes,
And a place to call His own
And there be my complete reality
There expressing all He is to me
Living in my heart abundantly
As my Person real

By this Person being formed in me
I'll a member of His Body be
No more acting individually
But with the saints
More and more our Person He must be
That our natural personality
Be eliminated thoroughly
Till Christ is ALL

Only Christ our Person must remain
From our aim,our goal we must refrain
Till the Church be only Christ Himself
Built up as the One New Man
Thus fulfilling God's great plan
Of mingling fully with the human race...cont/

Surely this concept goes against what the good Lord says. "Thou shalt not kill". Ok, the criminal may have killed someone, but surely it is wrong to kill that person as you will be no better than the killer him/herself? Is this not hypocrisy?

I typically see two responses to the above question...

1) God does prove himself all the time.

2) God does not want to prove himself because that would leave no room for faith.

Can any reconcile these two answers? Could they both be true? How so?
