Luke 3:16 states "John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I comes... he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire" Why don't churches baptize people with fire?

Before you start Bible-bashing, I am a Christian myself and read the Bible, so this is not an outsider vision of things.
Christians were murdered for having a different point of view, but now they pursue everyone who is different (LGTB, other religions, etc) I agree with proselyting, just not with mobbing.
What do you think?

can a relationship work if the people have two different beliefs? let me explain for a sec. im agnostic and my girlfriend is christian. the first day we started going out i told her i was agnostic and i respected her beliefs and asked her to respect mine. since then we have been having little arguments about god. i really do love her and i want to be with her, im actually thinking about asking her to marry me and i will even get married in a church because her and her family is christian. but can our relationship last? im just looking for some advice and i dont want any stupid advice so if you dont have anything smart to say then dont even leave an answer. thank you to everyone who responds.

Let's see Pat called for the removal of (3) members of the U.S. Supreme Court so they can be replaced by conservatives, didn't happen. (hey they prayed, why didn't that work?)
Next he said the widespread practice of homosexuality "will bring about terrorist bombs, it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor.'' Hmmmm not happening
and he has twice attempted to divert hurricanes by prayer from Virginia Beach, Florida, where he has his headquarters. Both times the hurricanes slammed squarely into Virginia Beach
Coincidence?
I don't think so maybe something about Pat Robertson just rubs God the wrong way.
So what do you think is next for old Pat?

"why would Jesus play a game? why? he doesn't need entertaining. we do. we are simple little minded creatures that need silly games to keep us out of our own way."

Likewise, I say to you, why would Jesus create angels and humans to worship and serve him? Why? He doesn't need praise. He's an omnipotent, self-sufficient power-house containing the infinite wisdom of the universe. So why would your majestic God have "simple little minded creatures that need silly games" to serve him? In fact, I dare say it's rather blasphemous and pretentious for you--a lowly, simple human--to even think that a God would want your love or service.

Isn't it a little gross eating other people? But that's what your communion is. "This is my body, this is my blood". You're a bunch of gross sickos. I'm thinking institutionalization.

In some cases maybe? But isn't it more sexist to object to
someone refering to God as a HE or SHE? All that
GOD/GODDESS, HE/SHE stuff doesn't seem like respect to me. Seems more like an EGO TRIP!

For one, the bible states God is a loving god. Yet, so many believers practice hate. I follow God b/c he is good, not evil. I don't follow him b/c someone has taught me if I am not for christianity, I am against them (the only way to God). Concluding, I am against God. Therefore, I am scared to question anything a teacher of Christianity or a person of Christianity is telling me. Or, any other religion for that matter. Jesus stated the only way to God is through him, b/c there were a lot of people following the doctrines of a crucifying and false church at that time. His point was I am God's son; I teach from the heart of God not from the hand of man. Follow me and you shall learn the truth not the lies of the church. I don't want to lead anyone the wrong way. But, a lot of times I have witnessed a preacher misinterpret a phrase from the bible. For instance, the debate about technology. A lot of Christians are against technology, but utilize the latest products. There not in the woods hunting for their food and living in caves. Also, one preacher mistakenly stated a barcode was 666 in binary when it actually was 555. Another time was about tiding. The bible phrase was saying about giving to people less fortunate than oneself. However, the preacher only referenced the part about giving. She added, giving to the church. I know in my heart a being of greater good exists and it triumphs over evil. If I don't believe this, then killing children and so forth aren't wrong. Anti-christ will proclaim to be of God, but it is the way he treats people that will give him away. By proclaiming to be God, he can win souls that will perform evil acts on his behalf. Just b/c you proclaim his name and memorize scriptures doesn't mean deep in your heart you love god. You are trying to be saved from suffering. I'm not criticizing any one. I want people to learn the true essence of God, which I have not fully learned. I'm seeking his will by praying for some light in the darkness. I realize some of my beliefs may be wrong. That's why I'm still here on earth. I'm learning. I'm seeking. How are you seeking God if you already know everything? Also, God gave us a brain for a reason so we won't be fooled by the devil. If I want something from you will I show up as the wolf. No, I will show up in sheeps clothing.

I have yet to be refuted. You now have another chance. Again, to point out the common fallacies, I Timothy 2 and Isaiah 46 are explicitly clear that God wants all mankind to be saved, and that everything God wants will happen. All your illusions of choice and free will are completely irrelevant. Attempting to appeal to those only serves to contradict the fact that everything that God wants is exactly what God will have happen (namely, the salvation of all mankind).

I've noticed that a lot of people are kinda judgemental... and it would be most appreciated if you stopped because some of these answers are kinda ridiculous and dont pertain to the question at all... so my question is why do people think they have the right to judge others? ( also I am not christian or anything like that just want to know I happen to be a wiccan...) aslo sorry if this once again offends you or your faith in any way...

If you beleive in life after death as so commonly depicted today --
Examples: light, peace, someone there to meet you...all the descriptions that are commonly given.--

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE ABSENCE OF THIS DESCRIPTION IN THE BIBLE?


In the Bible there are numerous experiences told about people that were brought back to life and they didn't talk about any of this.
This seems to be a fairly recent phenomenen. Could this be one of Satan's ploys to mess us up?

Serious answers only, please.
