Anti evolutionists constantly say that evolution is not truely scienctifically sound because it is just a theory. Well so is the bible. Also did you ever think that you chose christianity because the alternative is very difficult to deal with. I too am afraid of the unknown i fear death because i fear the uncertainty but conforming to faith doesnt make the world a better place. Cant you have values without faith. The truth is that no one knows and no one will ever know what our greater pupose is beyond life. Is it far fetched to say that the point of life is to live.

So far I gather that there are a few viewpoints.
1. It only happened once at pentacost.
2. It is a gift that some have some don't.
3. It is a sign of the Holy Spirit.
4. It is a sign of the Holy Spirit and it is required for salvation. Please pick one and tell me why you believe it to be true, or tell me if you have another view.

What is more satanic, Harry Potter, or The Da Vinci Code.

Please state your reason and give each book a rating of one to five 666s.

(Note: Five 666s is 666 666 666 666 666, two and a half is 666 666 333).

Is there a meeting place for people who just believe there is a God? Something like what Christians do every Sunday, or Jewish temple, Muslim mosque... but for just God believers? I would like to attend such a place.

Oh and please don't answer this unless you actually know of such a place. I am not looking to be converted or made to feel guilty for not being Christian/Muslim/Jewish or any other religion.

...If you weren't descended from a leaf eating monkey?
The appendix is called a 'vestigial organ' basically it's a left over bit that no longer serves any purpose, but evolution hasn't gotten around to getting rid of it yet.
When it was larger and fully developed in (when humans were more apeish than they are now) it allowed us to digest cellulose (in grass and leaves).
But now it serves no useful purpose (besides getting inflamed and rupturing, which incidentally would have killed you before modern medicine developed).
So why would god give you 'faulty equipment'?

in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. " Who added this verse in the bible? the whole christianity is based on a verse that it has been added by someone and it doesn't exist at all in the earliest scriptures of the bible? then why christians still believe in it?

Didn't Jesus say that's what the man had to do to get into Heaven when the man asked what must he do to get in?

1 Timothy 2
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

7Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

What is the point of being alive. Don't you think being alive is pointless. Why are we wasting time going to school and work when we can experience the afterlife?

Why are we alive, when we are going to the afterlife anyway, I hate being alive. I feel like it is waste of time. and I just want to see what the afterlife is like. I want to be judged by God, so I can get into heaven. What is the point of being alive, when you can experience the afterlife right now.

Why are we staying alive to live another day?

In every interview I have heard or seen parts of he does not seem to know the way of salvation. Just wondered how many agree with me that he is most likely not saved himself.

I mean really, that is just unbelievably childish. The people are just having fun, and your ruining it for everyone because you are a stick in the mud and can't stand to see something that disagrees with your personal opinions. It is harming no one! Why report it?
