I have read a TON of Internet forums and have seen a LOT of stuff about people not liking Christians. If you've been hurt, lied to, cheated or whatever by a Christian, I DO apologize. I wish there was something I could do to change the past. I know that, because we are sometimes held to a higher standard and/or some of us can have an arrogant "holier than thou” mentality, it can sometimes be easy to say, when 9 or 12 or 47 of us mess up, we’re all a bunch of liars and hypocrites (which isn’t true). With that said,

1) Can you HONESTLY say you hold Non-Christians to the same standard that you hold us?

…and…

2) What can Christians do to “make it better” (for lack of a better term)?

Please answer BOTH Questions! …and “going away” isn’t an option! ;-)

Matthew 5:14-15 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand and it gives light unto all that are in the house.Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
To all the questions I asked was not for my sake but for you to examine your own personal walk in Him. I was not placing judgement, but asking you to examine your hearts before God. I will be praying for all of those who wrote me or continue to. Blessing to all who call on His name Jesus Christ.

Do you who believe in evolution believe that you will just dissolve back into a mass of atoms after you die with no thought or consciousness? If so, why bother with all the study. You should go out and get as much pleasure and fun out of life before it ends and stop studying so much, because ultimately all of your studies and education are absolutely meaningless and you are wasting your opportunity to have fun!

If evolution is true and we are just a bunch of atoms, then why do many "believers" in evolution get so upset about all the wars caused by religion. After all, isn't survival of the fittest, or most well-armed, one of the teachings that they promote? Did morals evolve?

Could those of you who believe in evolution explain to me the "theory" about how conscious thought, self-awareness, emotions, and a worldwide belief in God (or gods) "evolved." Please note any laboratory tests, mathematical equations, transitional fossils, or evidence that you have to base your theory on from a completely physical, nothing-but-a-bunch-of-atoms perspective. I am truly interested in your answer, because as one of the "uneducated ones," I only have the ability to rely on my common sense. I did not have the privilege of taking those classes that taught me how to "get over" my common sense. Thank you for educating me.

1 Corinthians 1:18-21 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

the other day I was watching tv and I saw a pussycat in the farthest point in the corner of my eye. I jumped because it was walking from the front door, but when I looked it was gone. Then not to long after that I grabbed something off the floor and when I looked up there was a pussycat standing in front of me. There were no features and it didn't move. I looked away and looked back and it was gone. Any ideas?

IS Buddhism a religion? If you are a practicing Buddhist and hold down a job, how could you help me practice also? How would you go about trying to convert me? What are the pro's and cons? I've only just started reading the basics but i somehow get lost & slightly confused (duh!) Are there any good web-sites that would help me practice for e.g. meditation or prayer? There is a temple in my city but i work at night and i find the times of the temple too hard to manage.

Moses said that without a blood atonement there is no forgiveness of sins-"The life of the flesh is in the blood, and ive given it to make atonement for your soul." Leviticus 17 vs 11

Jeremiah 31 vs 31 promised a new covenant not after Moses-because Jesus would fulfill it-"And i will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, not like unto the one i made with Moses, and ye shall be my people, and i will be your God."

thanks and pray for Jewish people to become spiritual Jewish too when they believe the Jewish scriptures-thank you write these and further ones down and share with my blinded peoples -yet as in the first century many are seeing the truth now -thank God. Wahhoooo.

Recently, I finished watching Ahmed Deedat's great debate with Jimmy Swaggart on the matter. I found it really interesting. I've read some similar questions like this one before and realised that christians are definitely ignoring facts about the bible authenticity. And, ok, I've found out that Swaggart was clearly not a good example for Christians but hey, who cares. It's the FACTS that matters. Too many contradictions! With due respects, my dear christian friends, it's not that i hate you or your religion but i think it's a pity for those ignorants out there not to realise important stuff like this. I wish more people will become open-minded to at least just read or watch the video. I myself read stuff about christianity for the benefit of extra knowledge and Alhamdulillah, the more i know about christianity, the more I believe in Islam. Well, that's all to say. I hope i didnt hurt anyone. If i did, i'm terribly sorry for I'm just a human being..
