If he wants us to have the free will to believe in him without appearing to us like he did to the people in the Old Testament, did he not give them the free will to decide for themself? For example, he appeared to Moses as a burning bush. Did Moses have a choice but to believe at that point? Where was his free will? He was a pawn of God's from there on. There is no free will in that.

Something doesn't compute.

Famous example is Socrates. Who was locked up for heliocentric theory? Darwin waited 20 years to make his theory public, and is still demonized. Crusades had no real martyrs, or did they?

I would like my sister to be my baby's godparent, but my boyfriend said that it's a stupid idea. He said that because he said that she's already the baby's aunt...Does it matter?

Keep in mind when answering, that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way that a man can be saved. Thanks.

Ad hominem argument: attacking the person instead of his argument.

So far I count 6 common types.

1. the atheist is evil, a bad person.

2. the atheist has no standard of "morals".

3. the atheist is an agent of Satan.

4.the atheist is like a rebellious child ie., he is simply unreasonable.

5.the atheist is actually wants to believe but willfully refuses to submit.

6.the atheist reads the bible with his head not his heart ie.,the atheist over intellectualizes everything too much. He has no faith.

I suppose there are more but these are common hourly on Yahoo.

Don't get me wrong. I am Christian and believe most of what the Bible says.

However it has occurred to me. They say God through his prophets wrote the Bible. The prophets are human and had their own personal beliefs. How much of those personal feelings and beliefs have made it into todays Bible.

Its been copied and passed down over many many centuries. Who can say that the Bible is still what it was meant to be?

If a mormon wants to share the word of Jesus Christ, is it wrong for a Catholic to invite them into her home to share their stories?

I see an indigo colord light when i close my eyes to sleep. Is this common?

To me it seems difficult to do. It's like saying I believe in King Richard the Lion Hearted but not in medieval history...

Or, I believe in the universe being infinite, but not the science that tells us why...

maybe those are bad comparisons, but either way I have a hard time seperating the two.

i try not to insult anyone not even christians but its bound to happen since most of the time i feel like i am being insulted by the fanatic christians in here. as a spiritualist i feel insulted when people say christianity is spiritual and i know its not a spiritual belief system to begin with and i also feel insulted when christians tell me i am going to hell but i dont let it get to me since i follow the idea of "pity the souls for they are not worthy of getting mad at" i dont hate christians as people i just hate the religion that they follow for it has created some nasty people of the centuries and all that. christians you all deserve the insults that are thrown at you by atheist and non christians since you brought it on your selves all these years

Okay, so I am african american and I want to know why so many of us are out there practicing christianity as though it wasn't a forced religion back during times of slavery. I dunno, maybe I have the facts wrong, so hopefully someone can enlighten me. I'm not a Christian- but the reason that I'm not is for the simple fact that evolution makes too much sense to me- however, what I want to know is why so many african americans continue to practice Christianity, while all the other have been abolished (or at least are seeming to be) in this century.

And does God really help them to do that? Meanwhile someone else is praying for their son or daughter to have the strength to pull through an illness but God was too busy making sure everything came out okay with the other prayer right?

I don't understand, as I've look through the topics and discussion. I am depressed because we all know that God is soon to come back. But we still want to live our own lives. You must know that if we don't want to burn, and I don't mean Africa, then why are we acting like this.

So here is the question

1. Are you afraid to be saved
2. Is it pride
3. Or are you lost.

I really wanna know people.

I believe in God. I have since I saw my father live through aterrible illness that he should have died from and I witnessed that miracle. I want to bring God into my childrens' lives in a more full and complete way than my family did. We were not church going people, as my father was raised traditional Quaker and my mother was raised Presbyterian. My father struggled for years with church and God and how to believe. I don't necessaraly believe I have to go to church to worship Him, but would like for my children to feel Him in their life. What is a good church for me and my family and what is the best way to start going? Do you just show up? How do I know that the sunday school is good? How do I know my children will be comfortable in there while I'm listerning to the sermon? Do they have to sit with me during the sermon?How does this all work?

Often times the topic of Evolution vs Creationism is brought up in the Religion section. Sometimes people ask the question if man evolved from apes why are there still apes?

My question here in this question is, do Creationists know the answer that Evolutionists and proponents of Natural Selection have put forward? Is there a scientific objection you have, or is it just a slogan you learned in church - why are there still apes/monkeys.

The idea behind why there are still apes has to do with geographic isolation of species. This is something someone named "Charles Darwin" wrote about in the 1800s. Don't think of Charles Darwin as an evil man he was in fact, a Christian.

The idea is that there were some apes or monkeys who were in one part of the world who evolved into human beings, while there were other monkeys and apes who did not evolve. So it had to do with geography and not every ape evolved.

So, is it fair to say we won't see why are there still apes?
