I mean out of my class in school All but two of us were, according to the goverment, were christians but none of us really believed in it. This was the same in my uni classes and several other groups. Our local church probably has a catchment area of 1,000 but they barely get over twenty people in their church.

So how many believers do you think they have, I'd put it at around 200,000,000 or less.

Say someone sparks a convo with you about how annoying the express lane in a supermarket can be or something to that effect... how would you inject humor in the conversation? I'm like a dead replier. I just kinda laugh or say, "I know!" and then silence ensues.

This was an official report of the communist agenda in 1963. Very anti-biblical, and very much in support of evolution.

Here was an answer from someone earlier on;
"
the 500 recorded accounts of people who saw him after his crucifiction that were recorded not only in the bible but in other works or written material "

This person is either lying through their teeth or have information that has eluded historians and scholars for centuries.
The FACT is that NO historian that lived in the time that christ is supposed to have existed in mention him at all. Not one. Further the ONLY passage who does mention him (Josephus)
has been found to be a 12th century forgery.

So if this person has credible evidence to support their comment about "500 eyewitnesses" then they should produce them. Think of the fame! You'd be able to do what NO other scholar or historian has been able to do in history; produce ONE single credible shred of evidence supporting the existence of someone called jesus (of bible fame) living in or around the 1st century.
I for one await this "evidence" eagerly.

You say that atheists are proud to be evolved from monkeys and scoff?

Why do you think it is a matter of being proud?, its a matter of acknowledging what actually happened.



Are you really proud to come from dirt as described from the bible?

I would rather be an intelligent ape, then a piece of magic dirt

Where is the evidence?
1) Nowhere in the Bible is the Holy Spirit ever said to be an equal member of a trinity.
2) Nowhere is it mentioned in the Bible the words, "God, the Holy Spirit," or "The Holy Spirit is God."
3) There is never mentioned a vision, dream or clear description in scripture wherein God and the Holy Spirit are shown as the same person.
4) The vast majority of all Trinitarians attempts are to show the Holy Spirit's personality...not Godhood.
5) If the Holy Spirit has always been the third person in a triune God, then why did the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD disregard the Holy Spirit as a member of the Godhead when they made Jesus 'God' in 325 AD? Why did they wait until the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD to include the H S in the formula?
6) If the Holy Spirit has always been the third person in a triune God, then why would Jews instructed in the OT scriptures and in the teachings of John the Baptist, NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS?!? (Acts 19:2)

You don't even have to post your answer. Just think about it. Are you ready to face God with any regrets? Did you love Him enough? Did you spend enough time with Him? Did you live a life that was pleasing to Him?

This message was preached last night at my church. Its good to check yourself as you walk with God.

I am not a theist, so I am not looking for the "lawl, theres no god" answer to this question. Moreso:

If Timmy were to go to heaven, and Jane was to go to hell, and Timmy was deeply, DEEPLY in love with Jane, wouldn't heaven be eternal punishment to him too?

Jane couldn't be in heaven AND hell, for 1) Beings can't exist in 2 places at once AND because if there were 2 of her created, how would it be decided which went to heaven? AND if this "2nd Jane" did somehow be in heaven, it wouldn't be the real Jane for the real Jane wouldn't deserve heaven.

So Timmy wants NOTHING more in the entire after life to spend time with Jane, and that's the one thing he can't do. Is that not eternal suffering in Heaven?

Checked out? Doc checked you out, and said I see no underlying cause for why you are feling sick, and then he said maybe you are imagining it or maybe you are fibbing? How would you feel? proably mad because YOU know what you are feeling
WELL:
When you say a person has not spoke to GOD hears GOD and has a relationship with Jesus Christ is like what the Dr said to you when he found no reason for you to be feeling ill.

People believe in GOD because of what he does in thier life, if GOD did not reveal himself to a person when they prayed the Bible alone would not prove to them GOD exsits.
Thoughts?

Look at my eyes and you will see, Fire is burning inside of me

Fire it burns, Fire it burns

Look at the children, Look at my eyes

Look at me Satan’s child, Born of evil thus defiled

Brought to life through satanic birth, Raised in Hell to live on Earth

Come, look at me and I'll show you, things that will open your eyes

Come listen to me and I'll tell you, things that will sicken your mind

We drink the vomit of the priests’; make love with the dying whore

We suck the blood of the beast, and hold the key to deaths door

Through many a tormented night prevail, thy exorcisms can but fail

Though crucifix doth burn my flesh, I shall not yield to you unless I die!

I am possessed by all that is evil - The death of your God I demand!

I spit at the virgin you worship - And sit at my lord Satan's left hand

I care not for the priests who are crying

I answer to Baphomet's call

A cry for help from the dying means nothing to me at all

I am decreed by Lord Satan's fine evil to destroy what all mortals love most?

Satan is my master incarnate -
Hail praise to my unholy host
