Why didn't god do all those miracles he did back then. Like in the time of Moses when god wanted the Pharoh to free the slaves and all and he did all these trix that killed lots and lots of people. Why doesn't he do that to evil leaders. Or back then When we had slavery!

I don't do the astrology/horoscope/Ouija scene, but I have become very interested in what my dreams mean. I've been looking up my dreams in a dream interpretation book. Is this occult?
On one hand, God used dreams to communicate with His followers back in the Biblical times. But on the other hand, when relying on these dream interpretation books, I'm in turn relying on information from human beings who are very unlikely to have been lead by God when writing the interpretations down.
In God's eyes, is this considered dabbling in the occult?

The Bible tells us, that if we are repentent, and regretful, we will be forgiven.
It also tells us that all sins are equal, and not seperated into little sins, or big sins.
Now, if all that is true:

Most people, if they murdered anouther, they regret it, and wish they had not, so they can be forgiven.

Most people, will use the name of The LORD in vain without a second thought.

Now, looking at these two things as the Bible says, and not which is right, and wrong in ones morals, which is worse?


Yes, i asked this earlier, but have yet to get a decent response.

Atheists don't believe in God, so their purpose in life is different from mine. I read answers from people that seem absurd to me about their purpose in life, since is practically the same thing I want in life and the rest Christians want.

Christians believe that after their death they will be with God. That's their purpose of their lives, believe in Him to then be with him. Live live normally but by making God happy. When they die, their families make them a funeral and then bury them, and their families believe that their souls are in a place better than this complex world with God.

Atheists & Company on the other hand, don't believe in God, so their purpose in life is " Live and Let Live" "Be a good Person" "World Peace", anything they consider positive but with the absence of God in their lives. Then Finally when they die, if they believe in Funerals ceremonies they make one, and then bury the cadaver in the ground, until it decomposes for years and years and turns in jus

why do we exist? why are we here? if the only reason God wanted us to be here is to worship him, than couldnt he have created a bunch of mindless beings to do the exact same thing? in my opinion he did all of this for his own selfish desires..possibly for entertainment purposes.; if there is such a thing as love, i dont believe God knows what it is..people say he gave us a choice because he loves us. but what kind of choice is that? if u dont follow me then u will burn!? its blackmale-even though he choses who goes to heaven or hell in the first place.; how could he send so many souls to hell for all of eternity if he really does love us?

books exists so does Hobbits, Elves, dragons, and wizards?Afterall, they are all based on the writings of books that came from the imagination of men.And so, if the imagination of men can dream up a God and dream up Hobbits, Elves, dragons, and wizards can't they all exist.They are, afterall, equally prove-able.

As a Christian, do you believe this statement?
Faith alone is the righteousness of the Christian and the fulfilling of all the commandments.
What do you think it means?

Why do I feel this way ? What is this evil stalking me ?

I felt sooooooooo weary today. I felt evil around me at times. I felt so freaking drowsy that I struggled to stand and stay awake. I was talking to a teacher and he seemed to change in appearance right in front of me. Not so drasticly, but everything seemed to become like a cartoon...it still looked like him though.

I canceled my Drs apptment because the woman Dr hurt her shoulder and now its a man Psych Dr. and I said nooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyy. Im praying for relief and change soon. It has to be soon Lord Jesus. It has to be immediate. I cant take this anymore. Something evil has been stalking me. I feel it. Its not my imagination. Its a person. A being. And its so evil.

I was so weary today that I just laughed at it. Im to tired to even be afraid. Please pray for me.

You say the Bible contradicts Science. But Scientific theory is not absolute. It doesn't claim so. But Bible is the truth. It claims so.

As it, in itself, has NOTHING to do with God, or any higher consciousness. Was it created merely to divide, enslave and control selected groups of people? A look at the state of the world today, and the past, seems to verify this. What do you think?

I don't want any quotes from the Bible on this unless it is a quote saying "Ye shall selectively choose when God's word suits you best and then enforce it but deny it as false interpretation or mistranslation while offering no correct one when his word seems contradictory or works against your current absurd argument." And I seriously doubt that is a bible quote. If you do not have a direct answer to this question do not post an answer. I want a real answer that makes sense and explains it. No simple "we don't always understand" or completely avoiding the subject at hand. Basically don't post worthless crap that doesn't answer my specific question:

Why do you choose when the Bible is good for your arguement and deny it if it works against you? Does God want this? I know that according to your religion he doesn't want you to enforce him just to win favor. No cop out answers.

I once read a story on an atheism website that got me thinking. It was pretty lengthy so I'll give a short summary:

This atheist was in heaven, waiting in line to meet God to be questioned. When the person in front of her reached God, the person explained that they had been a Christian all of their life and they just knew that someday they would stand before Him. God then asked "But why do you believe in me?" and they said "I go to church every week and have read the bible!" God asked again "Why do you believe in me?" but they could not answer and they were denied entry.

The atheist was in line next and they gave a spiel about how she was angry that God sat back and did nothing while people suffered. She was alowed entry to heaven, but refused it.

Why do you believe in God? What do you think of people who believe in God just because they are told that they should? Is there a wrong reason to believe? What is the right reason?

Jehovah's Witnesses are rumoured to be "stonecutters". They therefore could be presumed to be operating on an exchange system. In other words, if they give you something in liquid assets or commodities, such as printed material (including magazines and pamphlets), they might try to rob you on another system. They may rob you of benefits such as opportunities and jobs, or you could even lose your life. The loss of life might be made to look like it just happened or was the result of an accident, when, in reality, their system has made it happen. Stonecutters trade on the human market as well as the liquid assets or monetary market (such as the NYSE).

Mormons are onto this trick.

Never accept candy from a stranger!

Never accept free items of propaganda from Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.
