If god is really all loving and all forgiving, than is it not redundant to worship him in the first place?...Since he will forgive us that is.

Also, wouldn't god value a formulated opinion which involves ones own honor, integrity and intelligence more than blind belief?

If, hypothetically, he exists, he gave us a brain for a reason.
Also, doesn't the god is "all loving and omnipotent" statement contradictory in itself?

I don't know who wants to actually answer me, but i would be great to get some opinions on this matter.

According to the bible, Leviticus 20:9 we can do that.


I must stand firm here though. I will not kill my son if he curses me.

Call it a sin to disobey the bible if you must, but I will not kill my son.

I know that Abrahan Married Sarai, and they [eventually] had a child named Issaic... who married Rebecca and had Jacob... who wanted to marry Rachel... but was tricked into marrying who?

Why was Abraham told to go to the promise land?

Why were Joseph's siblings jealous of him?

PLEASE HELP ME!
thanks

I am a Christian, but I am also a believer in theistic evolution. I also have a BS in molecular biology. I just wanted to provide some background so you see where I am coming from with this question.
God created us as biological human beings. He created the universe and everything within it. This makes God the best biologist, chemist, physicist, mathematician, etc. I think you get my point. For those of you who do not believe in evolution or the big bang, do you think God used science to create us? Or do you think He just spoke us into existence and like magic we were created? This latter question is, in my opinion, ignorance of God's intelligence and His magnificent creations. Why would He make us and the universe so complex if He did not use scientific law to establish life as we know it?

are we not saved by grace? i thought baptism was an outward sign of what God is doing through the Spirit in my life, not that it actually makes me more approved in God's sight. Please help...

You see religious groups invading other people's privacy and daily life, protesting at other people's work place, homes, etc.

Why don't the atheists do the same against religious groups? Why not protest at churches, temples, religious-related work places, and their homes?

clearly these religious groups don't give much consideration and care towards those they target. so why not defeat them at their own game?

same with other groups too like peta.

Are you more afraid of suffering, or afraid of leaivng loved one?
Or afraid of where your spirit will go?

atheists who spoke the treatises of reason, who used logic against medieval mythology, who tested and spoke their minds in good will, only to get deleted again and again. We will not kneel before the nonsensical and give up our right to THINK. We will not anthropomorphise the universe, nor bow to anything we cannot see. We like life and embrace it, we see things for what they are. How many a benign journey must be cut short by a deletion?

Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
EBD NTB SCO SBD TTT
Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
EBD SME NTB SBD TTT
Mal 3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

I have done research on fuller's soap and have found that it is a reference to laundry soap of the time....back in ancient times when this prophecy was written, people would wash clothes on stones in the river....
Is this your understanding?

The impression I have of black french people are africans. My cousin says there are not many other races of black people (afro-caribbbean or afro-american) other than africans in France, because they already know the language and other races are lazy to learn a language. I would just like to know if that is the case. (My cousin is white and I am black and we often have discussions like this so don't worry if it sounds slightly racist. She would have to have a screw loose to be racist with the amount of black people in her family and friends lol)

I would really like to get married in the church in the village I grew up in. However, I am a christened but non-practicing Protestant and my partner follows no religion, and the church is Catholic. Do we have no hope?
