If you took away all past church experiences you may have encountered, or all good/bad interactions w/ Christians, any encounter you have had with Christians (in the media, real life, etc)...would the Gospel of Jesus Christ be appealing to you?

Why or why not?

In the words of the Christian Coalition field director, Bill Thomson,

Were going to run over them. Get around them, run over the top of them, destroy them - whatever we need to do so that God's word is the word that is being practiced in Congress, town halls and state legislatures. That's our job.

I'm confuse that some Pastors said that our Salvation can be lose, other said that It can't be . If you can give me any refference from the Bible if we can or can not, I really appreciated. Thank you.

everyone is God?

It would seem so.

He's saying everything you do to others you do to me
He and his Father are one.

Everyone is his Father, everyone is God.

Am I misunderstanding something here?

Hello I'm sending this from Tokyo Japan. I sometimes see the sign "John 3:16" at baseball and football games. Why do people show that sign during a sport event? I heard it has to do with Christianity and I am not all that familiar with Christianity. I'm just very curious why people show that sign during sports games.

Christianity is a faith based on factual events which really happened in time and space. It is not a mystical faith based on good feelings. The miracles of Jesus were his calling card; i.e., the validation of his claim to be God. The resurrection was his proof of identification. Even more importantly, the death and resurrection of Jesus were God's method for sinful mankind to stand forgiven before him. God's nature demands payment for wrong, yet he is merciful beyond comprehension. How can these two contrasting sides of God be reconciled?

This article is one of many found within Mr. Malone's excellent book, Search for the Truth. Without the factual nature of the resurrection, Christianity is nothing but smoke and mirrors; just another spiritual attempt to explain reality based on man's opinions. In spite of the historical accuracy of the Bible, there have been many alternative explanations for the missing body of Christ. Liberal theologians have even speculated that Christ's body ended up in a ditch. Yet Jewish law would have never allowed this. The two most prevalent to explain away Christ's resurrection will be examined in this article.

The most popular excuse for rejecting Christianity is the idea that Christ did not really die on the cross. Although this has been suggested in recent years, no one who witnessed His death considered this a real possibility. The idea of a man reviving himself after he has been brutally beaten, nailed to a cross, pierced with a spear, and tightly wrapped with suffocating cloth is ridiculous. For such a person to push aside a huge stone and sneak past trained guards is ludicrous. Even more remarkable was the effect the appearance of Jesus had on his disciples. They were transformed from a group of sniveling cowards into men who traveled the world, preaching that Jesus was God and had risen from the dead. Because of their message, almost all died horrible deaths of torture. Merely changing their story would have spared them this persecution. They had absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose if their story wasn't true. Would a half-dead Jesus, who had dragged Himself from his tomb to their doorstep, have inspired this response?

The second attack on reality has been around since before the moment of the resurrection-the idea that the disciples stole the body. The religious leaders who had Jesus murdered feared this possibility and took the logical precautions to prevent this from happening. Guards were placed at the sealed tomb day and night. How could a group of "rag-tag" Jewish fisherman have overpowered a group of highly trained and motivated guards? How could they have moved a huge stone and sneaked away with the body unseen and unheard? The very fact that guards were posted adds credibility to the fact of the resurrection. If any of the details reported in the Bible were false, they would have been successfully refuted by the Jewish leaders. Although they tried they were unsuccessful in their attempt to discredit the facts of the resurrection. Evidence for the truth of the resurrection was apparent to the thousands who were converted to Christianity soon after the event. The rapid spread of this persecuted faith is perhaps the greatest evidence of it's reality. The facts of the resurrection were checked by converts of that day and led to changed lives. They still do today.

Christianity has nothing to fear from those honestly searching for the truth. It is based on logical evidence surrounding real events in time and space.

Before you lies a dead person. Be it friend, relative, or stranger.
You know this person has passed on and yet?
Someone who should know says this one is alive "Somewhere."
Didn't Jesus say the dead are asleep in the grave?
I'm not looking for a tirade of abuse. I know the answers.
Just want to see if you do.
This is a several part symposium.
Jump in where you like..............But prepare well as mine comes from the bible. Nothing else will be considered.

so many people say they are christans and then go on to be absalute jerks becouse "no matter how bad I am God has forgiven me"? and then there are all the people that say "It's great! your sins are forgiven!" but don't have anything else to back themselves up? and we can't forget all the people who say "you can't be a Christian unless you are completely sinless" and then point at themselves as if they're pure? and that's just the stuff from the people that say they are Christian! we can't forget all those other people that are saying stuff like "Christians are people that arn't smart enugh to live on their own, so they need a book to guide them".

you know what guys? being Christians I expect you to be able to prove the good things by example, not just say "becouse God said so". so next time someone says "why do you trust a God that dosn't exist?" tell them what they need to know! not "becouse I have faith", doing that only help them becouse it gives them no reason why they're wrong!

Anyone else besides me left Mormonism due to finding out about false doctrine, such as that the secret signs and tokens used in the temple are from free masonry? that Joe Smith had many wives and including a 14yr old? that he used a "peep" stone to see those so called plates? or that their are a ton of false prophecies by the Book of Mormon? I'd like to know others who freed themselves from this cult and see what we can do to make a book about our stories!
