Even Pitter denied Jesus 3 times. And I thought for the first hand account it would easy to believe that Jesus was GOD.
It seems that miracles of Jesus were not convincing enough even for his close disciples. How are we supposed to believe in something 2000 years later unless it blind faith and that’s exactly what others religions trying to pursue. Blind faith.

A medieval reference to Lilith as the first wife of Adam is the anonymous The Alphabet of Ben-Sira, written sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries. Lilith is described as refusing to assume a subservient role to Adam during sexual intercourse and so deserting him ("She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.'"). Lilith promptly uttered the name of God, took to the air, and left the Garden, settling on the Red Sea coast.

For all of you cry babies who are going to say 'that isn't in the bible, that doesn't count', BIG DEAL. Considering how many stories have been edited and cut and added to the modern bible, just about any fable revoloving around your biblical characters are just as valid as the rest of the mythology.

One day i realized I couldn't bear the burden of guilt and condemnation of sin any longer, and I realized there was only One person who could (and wanted) to REMOVE it for good, (and hint: it wasn't Mohammed). And amazingly, great peace, joy and freedom returned!

Have you asked Christ to do that for you and if so what were the results?

My question is if Christians are so forceful that Christianity is correct, why is the biggest population of people on Earth not Christian?

The passage in Genesis 1:27 — "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female he created them" (before describing a mate being made of Adam's rib and being called Eve in Genesis 2:22) is sometimes believed to be an indication that Adam had a wife before Eve.

Eve was nothing but trouble.

1 Kings 3:12
I have given thee [Solomon] a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

I am sure we will hear many interpretations but wander how they may sounds.

sure, you'll get your reward after you die, but who wants to wait that long? Sometimes being good really sucks when you see all of the evil around you getting all of the things they want by lying, cheating, and various other methods. Why be good?

"When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained..." (Revelation 6:9)

"Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." (Revelations 20:4)

It is clear that difficult times are ahead, whether in our lifetimes or not. This calls for a difficult question.

Again, Christians, if a gun was held to your head and they said they would kill you unless you renounced your faith, what would you say?

Hopefully this will never happen to any of you.

God bless.

There were many books of scripture circulating in Christianity during the first 300 or so years before anything was actually put down in the Bible you know today. If you didn't know that, you just learned something. If that pisses you off, blast me with your hate; I think it's funny.
Out of all the gospels and such, only a certain select were chosen, by men, to be included in the Bible, the rest were tossed out and have become known as the Apocrypha.
Given that the hand of man decided what was to go in the Bible and put it together, how is it people call the Bible the Word of God?

Does it seem like people ask certain questions and know the answers already to see what level of ignorance other people are on? ;) Do you also think it is because they can't even have an intelligent argument or debate or synergistical understanding with you because you can hide behind your anonymity?

I want to know if there is anyone at work or school or just something that they can't get out of for awhile and they are just bored to death?? My question is : I have about an hour and a half before I can leave, what can I do between now and then to not be so bored??

I love Y! Answers, but you can only take so much of them, when the questions start to get really boring and redundant... I have watched soooooo many online videos of just about everything you can think of... and I feel like I've been to the end of the internet and back 5 times already... I've written out my bills here as well as my grocery list...

Some one please help me! I need something that will take up a significant amount of time that I could do at work without getting into trouble. (Like I can't go around screaming and running, which is what I would really like to do....)

Just read another response on here and a Cristian said "As a Christian, I am against interracial dating." Does it state somewhere in the bible this is wrong?

Just curious, really won't sway my view on things one way or the other. Date who you want people...

I know that a large number of people are going to say yes because of the christian beliefs. However, did you ever stop to think that situations just happen, that they are there for us to grow and learn from. It is just situation, that is all nothing is good nothing is bad.

II have noticed an overwhelming number of questions related to Christians vs. Atheists as opposed to any other group. This seems to be the effect of a straw manned approach, as if these were the only two ethoses that exist. There are plenty of other religions or people who consider themselves spiritual but are not affiliated with any one particular religion that these issues can also address. It almost seems to me that Christians are saying, either you don't believe in God, or you are a Christian. There are plenty of nuanced ideas out there and if some of these people claiming to be atheists would sincerely investigate these alternatives they might not consider themselves atheistic anymore ending the whole false dichotomy altogether.

I'm not saying all Muslims are violent or nutters.. I have friends who are Muslims and I do respect the religion and everything but Osama, D. Ibrahim, M. Mansoor Ali and all terrorist names I hear are Muslim ones. Why do you think this is the way that it is?

Again, I have nothing against Islam or Muslims but I just couldn't help but notice.

I asked this as a history question. I should have asked all the Jesus freaks as a religious question. - One person even replied "How many Christians did the Romans torture and persecute during the Empire?" which not only implies that the Christian concept of "Turn the other cheek" is bogus, but also that Christians of the Middle Ages were just as evil as the ancient Romans (and also justifiably evil).

Not Ashamed - Matthew 10:32-33
"When a person stands before other people and says he believes in me, then I will say that person belongs to me. I will say this before my Father in heaven. But when a person stands before people and says he does not believe in me, then I will say that person does not belong to me. I will say this before my Father in heaven. (ERV)

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
