If the Trinity was in fact true (i,e, Father (God), Son (Jesus), Holy Spirit; 3 in 1 & 1 in 3) why is it that a human can only receive salvation when he believes that Christ is his savior and not when he worships God alone when you say that both Christ and God are one in the same? Please, I ask this with only the intention of knowing the reasoning behind this, not to insult or provoke anyone; and please, no rude or hurtful bashing of Christianity or other religions.

It seems like the round table is a circle of great friends with like minda and have plaenty of shared experience. There may be a figurehead that has a position of the king, but is an equal. Why is this. Why a circle, why the trust, why the love bringing them higher. It seems they have such trust, if one grows they all grow because of love. Wouldn't camelot be a mythical zion? Where they're other mysteries hidden in that original story pertaining to celestial cycles? I invite you to look a little deeper. But your thoughts regardless.

Most sin in ways like: lying to your boss about why you didn't go to work last Friday or speeding on the highway. Are we really in the same boat when we die?

You hear more stories of people being raised from the dead, cripples walking, the blind seeing, in the poorest countries of Africa and Asia then you do in western countries with highly educated populations and skeptical press institutions. Western "faith Healers" often go to the poorest countries to rake in obscene amounts of money from those least able to afford it. Why? Instead of educating these victims, they are sent bibles. Instead of building world class Universities, they build Shady Bible Colleges. Instead of producing Doctors, Scientist and Engineers, they produce evangelist and Pastors to prolong the poverty and ignorance. Is this a crime against humanity?

Was Jesus a self-fulfilled prophecy in a way?
So did he grow up knowing he was God just from stories his mom and 'step-dad'(,adopted dad--not-necessarily-biological dad?) told him?

I don't think it's right to reproduce. It's not a good thing to plop a conscious, emotional being into this world. But what would make it a good thing, or at least a neutral one? Issues: pain, loneliness, predation, mistreatment, illness, hunger...death. Humans have tendencies toward behavior that makes the world a worse place (evolutionarily spawned behavior, granted). Many things we would have to be rid of to make the universe a good place, and to make us worthy to be there...what all are they, and are they do-able?

If everyone is going to haven who goes to hell. And what happens to the earth? Rev. 14:1-5 says 144,000 is going to haven? I want to be with the people spoke of at Rev 21:3-5. How about you?

Acknowledging that there is no God, and that the universe is an accident, and that I am a product of Evolution, would the individual then have to face an authentic life?
What would this mean for the person? Would they have to solve all problems with human solutions? Would every cause have a natural explanation?

When something makes them sad, would they have to deal with it? Let me give you a real life example, a man emails me three days ago and says he is thinking about committing suicide. Since I knew he was a Christian I emailed what I thought was encouraging Bible verses. Rather than say dude, I love you bro, but you got to deal with life, did I cheat this man an authentic life? He asked if suicide was a sin that he could commit and still go to heaven, and while I emailed Judges 16:29-30 I said I still don't think this authorizes suicide. Did I do wrong? Should I have just said there is no God try and deal with it?

I thought that is the first thing they teach you....
Do they teach abstinence first and the concept of Jesus and the trinity later? WTF?

I have heard of catholics,baptists,mormans,jahova witnesses and many many more forms of it and most of them claim that they are right and others are wrong so if others are wrong and only one religion is right who is the true body of Christ?

I disagree with a lot of Christians on a lot of parts of the Bible. For example: i don't think Romans 1:26-27 or the story of Sodom says anything about homosexuality (just an example).

When i try to talk about this with Christians, or ask questions about it on this forum here, the most answers i recieve are: 'you obviously don't understand, read the Bible'.

Problem is: i did read that book, even several times. It doesn't even take much intellect to understand that book.

So, my main question here is: why does a group of Christians think they own the intellectual right on interpreting the Bible?

We have a common ancestor with a fish, with a lizard, with monkeys and chimpanzees. It might be a common ancestor from 100 million years ago or 200 million years ago or 500 million years ago, but yes, yes we do have a common ancestor with every living animal on this Earth. It all goes back to one cell.

What religion teaches this, if there are many, which are they. Are any religions that teach anything else, are they false religions?

Thanks! Put your cart to the wheel please and answer.

God is make-believe like all the other gods and supernatural nonsense people ever came up with...fun but false. The universe was belched into existence as hot plasma and organized into the matter we see now, and behaves the way it does, all because of some simple laws of physics. "I" am a process that is happening. I was born because my parents caused it, and my body will die while I'm still in it. What should I do now? I have complete freedom; I don't have to act the way anyone else wants me to. Probably 40 years left. I'm straight, at least, and I like mountain biking and smoking pot.

Prophet Jesus told His People about False Prophets to Come after Him, He also told of a Man to Come after Him, and told His People to Believe with His Message that He will bring.

Prophet Muhammad also told us that after Him there will be so many false Prophets to emerge, He told us that He is the Last and Seal of all Prophets that God will Send to Mankind, and the Qur'an is the Final Scripture.

Now, there are so many People who claimed to be sent by God especially within Christains who said they are "Prophets" These type of false Prophets are mainly found in Southern Nigeria, whom collects Money for God to remove all their Sins.

Are this not one of those False Prophets that Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Jesus told us? What can you say about this type of False Prophets mainly found in Southern Nigeria?

Can I please get a serious answer, they have never heard of jesus, nor has the majority of the inhabitants who ever lived here. Please don't say purgatory. If you don't even realize this is a spirtual realm, you can't justify purgatory. If you say that you are baptizing them in their graves, that seems blaspemous. What about their freewill. Are they wating in the grave? Do you know how magnetism works. We are a form of energy arent we. Science says so. We have magentic properties, am I right? Like attracts like, opposites repel. Yo uever been attracted to someone, did they have a good vibe? Just curious where they are?
