That those who attack the Bible say when the Bible says something good that it is just men writing their words, but when the Bible says something they believe is bad then it is proof positive that God is wrong and they are right. COME ON MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!

The term perennial philosophy relates to what some take to be the mystic's primary concern: with the one, divine reality substantial to the manifold world of things and lives and minds. But the nature of this one reality is such that it cannot be directly or immediately apprehended except by those who have chosen to fulfill certain conditions, making themselves loving, pure in heart, and poor in spirit.

I read a few of the answers given by some of the christians. And some claimed that jesus was in fact god and some stated that jesus was in fact the son of god. So what say ye? I'm not bashing christians, ,just want to know why.

There are only two possibilities as to how life a rose: One is Spontanious generation-a rising evolution. The other is a supernatural act of God. There is no other possibility.
Spontaneous generation was scientificlly disproved 120 years ago by Pasteur and others.
This leaves us with only one logical conclusion-- that life arose as a supernatural act of God.
I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible.

Can we be the church that we read about in the New Testament, leaving out our own ideas, and simply accepting Biblical truth? (re: salvation, church practices, christian living etc.)

Love is a concept from our creator. True love ( and not all Christians have learned this one yet) cares about the feelings of others, wishes the best for others, and is willing to put the needs of others above their own needs. Christians are call by God to "Love your enemies. Do good to those who persecute you." Those outside of Jesus do not respond to others with true love. They experience a degree of it but only with those emotionally close to themselves. When they are placed under conflict by those with whom they have no intimate relationship they have no moral direction or command to love people with whom they are in conflict. So it is natural for them to lash out with hate upon those who speak of Jesus' Love.

It is normal for those outside of Jesus to rationalize conflict and think -- Do unto others before they have a chance to do unto you. Whereas a person who is in submission to Jesus is commanded to treat others as they would wish to be treated. I believe many times if we Christians would cool our jets and meditate on this Christianity would be so much more appealing to those outside of Christ. Christ is a lamp set on a hill that will draw people unto Him.

So I believe Christians should start acting more Christ like and the world will come to Him. And I believe non-Christians are not capable of acting Christ like because they are not in Christ. It is just a normal way for a non Christian to act. We've gotta quit acting like they do, though. It is within our ability to change. It is outside their ability to change without Christ.Hopefully something I have said here will motivate Christians to start acting Christlike. Hopefully, something I have said here will change the way non Christians respond and in some small way help them begin a journey toward their savior. It's going to be very interesting to read the responses to this question. Please believe me when I say I wish the best for all who read this question

What is the point of missionaries. All they do is travel to other places and tell people what to believe in. I don't think people should be told what to believe in. Hearing: If you don't believe in God, youre going to hell isnt too comforting. It really puts pressure on you. And its not like if a missionary from a muslim religion told a Christian to believe in his God, because he knows for a fact that his god is the one REAL God, I doubt a Christian would be too happy.

Where can I go to get ordained as some sort of reverend or minister or whatever online for free? Preferably without having to wait around or study? I'd like a wide variety of religions, if possible. And thank you!

I was brought up as a christian, when I was younger I was way into it because that's what I was tought. I realize now that every culture has their own take on religion. I don't wanna sound like I think I'm too smart for religion, but I think it's foolish to believe something just because that sounded like a good religion to your parents. Why should other cultures be punished for worshiping "false" gods. To them they are real, they are simply being loyal to what they were tought. Does anyone else find these things strange????

The was a man who was killed tragically in an auto accident at a young age.

Prior to this he had been very judgemental to people who had physical disabilties that were in his life and called them in perfect. He even went as far as to say "the perfect man has to have the perfect woman". He had married and had 2 kids his wife had developed cancer after marriage and he had not offered her love or emotional support. He was off doing his thing and looking good on paper volunteering his time for others with a sick wife at home.

Do you think his death is ironic at a very young age in the peak of fitness? Do you think it is an example of Karma or gods will?

I feel bad that this happened to him, but struggle with this question. I feel that if I had done this same thing I would have been punished. I feel that I am constantly being taught lessions in compassion and empathy. That does not involve leaving the land of the living.

What do you think? Please reflect on this.

You know, the rules that the godders always insist on:

- God doesn't interfere with anyone's free will. (This would explain everything from Hitler to the recent slump in sales of Ford cars.)

- God doesn't *want* to consign anyone to eternity in hell, but if people disobey his laws or refuse to believe in him, then he can't do anything about it. His hands are tied. (A deity in bondage -- now there's a mental image for ya.)

- God will never destroy the earth in a flood again. He promised. (The people of New Orleans might beg to differ.)

Feel free to add your own favorite examples of the deity's inscrutable rules.

If Christians adhere to the Ten Commandments, why do I see them using "Calvin" praying stickers on their cars? Don't they know those images were stolen from Bill Waterson, who never granted use for Calvin (an atheist mind you) to be put on merchandise? This is a clear violation of the Fifth Commandment brought by Moses to the chosen people directly from God Himself who etched them in the stone tablets according to the bible and were kept in the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem.

Are Christians okay with this theft?

This seems highly hypocritical to say the least.
