25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.

He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—

26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

It's come out that he got lost and landed in this country by accident thinking it was India. It's come out that this land was ALREADY OCCUPIED and therefore cannot fit being claimed as "discovered". It's come out that he was a plunderer, thief, and his crew rapists and tyrants. He brought about the ruination of this great land and it's native people who lost everything in the onslaught of immigration from greedy, power hungry, and disease riddled European countries who sent their criminals and crazies here as punishment. So why is this "man" still being given a day of recognition?

pulled me aside after school to "just chat" about religion.
Let me not first that I go to a public school.
Im openly atheist and she said to me," I felt compelled to tell you about my bible lesson yesterday in church."
Then she went on her spill then told me that " she would hate it if I wasnt in heaven with her one day".
So Im not sure what to do.
Shes retiring this year so firing is out of the question.
Im just tired of the teachers always saying something to me.
She even told me that one of my other teachers told her that I was reading The God Who Wasnt There.
She said that since school was out it wasnt a teacher to student deal but more like her just wanting to talk.
Give me some feedback here.

DISCLAIMER: If you are a non-Christian and reading this, please understand that I am sincerely NOT addressing you. (There is no Christian sub-category in R&S)

It would seem that MANY of you feel as if “speaking about hell” just “isn’t your calling” from God…

Do you REALLY believe there IS a hell and that non-Christians are doomed to hell?
If not, how can you call yourself a Christian?

If a person was serenely floating on a raft and unknowingly headed for a deadly waterfall, would you – on the shore – yell out to warn them?

-
Do you know the story of the rich man in Luke 16:19-31…? He ends up in the gruesome torments of hell…and cries out to heaven asking that the dead beggar, Lazarus, be sent back to earth to WARN the rich man’s brothers of the horrors of hell they are doomed for…

OK, so most of you who answered my last question (at least so far) have admitted that you don't KNOW that there is no god, you can only claim to BELIEVE that there is no god.

Seriously, doesn't this actually make you an agnostic?
(Notice that I have corrected my spelling. Thank you, Secret Agent Man, for pointing out my error.)
Once again, I am braced for some mocking, but once again, all that proves to me is that you are insecure in your atheism. Mockery only makes you look childish, and absolutely nobody is impressed by it. If you do have real answers, I really and truly would like to hear them.

Why not. Christians brought it to American in the late 1800s during the war on masturbation. And it has stuck with us. It has minumal if any health benifets and removes the most sensitive part of a man's body reducing pleasure.

How all the different Versions of the Bible all be the word of God? The NIV and Jehovas Witness Bible and Catholic Bible says in Luke 2:33 that joseph is Jesus Father, when in Fact Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit.

Another one, in the wrong transcripts (NIV, other Bibles) in Isaiah 14:12, it says Lucifer is the morning star, yet in Revelations it says Jesus is the "Morning star".

The King James Bible has the proper scripture, and this is from the only Manuscript that is the word of God. The proof is in the words.

how can Christians SEE this evidence, yet just brush it under the table?

I mean David did not even Kill Galiath in Samual in the NIV. Are people Blind?

if scientists came up with a way to change the sex of a child by some type of injection while the child is still in the fetus stage- would this become more of pro-life or pro-choice?

--- being that the mother could choose if she wants to have a girl or boy. would you consider this selfish, okay, or just plain evil/wrong?

I know its a weird question but I was just wondering.
..thanx and have a gr8 day =)

I have heard of this teaching about one can lose his salvation.

Can the Holy Spirit (God) make a mistake?
Can someone be regenerated by God, then unregenerated?
Can we become a New Creation in Christ, just to be turned inside out?

please explain this to me..everyone says that religious scripture says that God is against gays,yet God loves all.
a believer tried to explain this to me saying that,the gays are not suppose to ''act on it'' how can you not be who you are
if you live a good life and treat people the way God has instucted you,how can God possibly be against these people
also God created everything,everyone therefore God did in fact create gay people
how then would he call them sinners for being what he made them to be....granted some choose it(wild side)...but im talking about the ones who were born very feminine/masculine..and are the opposite sex,,those people cannot help it!

does he get a new soul after he becomes Robocop? I think he does, or he at least gets his old one back, because he begins to slowly show signs of humanity again.

Or regenerate their cells instantaneously?
Or bend space and time with their minds?
Or paint the future?
Or hear other peoples' thoughts?
Or walk through walls?

Doesn't that prove that evolution is false?

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Would you consider obedience to God to be a "good work"?

if the wages of sin is death, and all i want to do when i die is stay dead, then why should i believe in jesus? let's say for a moment that there is a god, and he wants me to have everlasting life, and the only way to do so is by accepting jesus as my savior. however, i don't want to live forever. i only want to make the most of my human life. wouldn't it be wise for me to reject christ then whether i believe in him or not? let's say i'm right and there is no god. then i just die. let's say i'm wrong and i reject jesus. what happens? death. that sounds a lot like what i have coming to me if i'm right. so where's the danger? you can't say i'm going to hell to suffer for all eternity. that sort of punishment would still require me to have everlasting life. but i can't live forever unless i accept jesus as my savior, in which case i go to heaven, which i don't want. am i missing something here?
