I am starting a new religion that will be free off crazies like those fanatics that bow to the east or some fat cat that sits in Italy and says I decree that it is okay to touch alter boys etc. You know what I mean... It will be based on me Raymond you will worship me and for doing so and being faithful you will get what you deserve.
Hot babes will be mine and only mine and the rest of them you know the uglies and the guys will need to send me money and lots of it and serve me faithfully.
Just think though a religion that is free from some nut case who comes out of a cave after smoking a reefer or some guy who also must have been high claims to walk on water.. Wanna join???

This does 4 me:

I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of calvary

Chorus:
Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I'd give anything
I would give my life away.

I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
How may times has he broken that promise
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

Repeat chorus

(Bridge) I know that you don't understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize
how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.

Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.

I'm a believer in Jesus and as a human being I've often thought of this scenario. It doesn't shake my faith but I'm curious to know what other believers think. If 2 separate families were both losing a loved one as an example and both families prayed fervently for that person to survive. One victim survived the other one didnt. Ofcourse the survivors family praised God and thanked Him for answering their prayer. How do you supposed the other family should react. I should think they should accept that God did hear their prayers and although difficult must accept that their Maker decided to answer it by bringing his child Home and then the family should pray for comfort. What do you think? It also reminds me of the survivors of the Holocost, Rwandan genocide etc... Thanks for your response.

As a "dead man," how am I capable of choosing to accept Christ as my Savior?

For by Grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God.

So God is the one who grants us salvation? There is nothing I can do to come to Jesus? I can't make the decision? God has to?

What else could be near as important? What keeps us from putting more resources into space probes and projects like SETI? Is there anything about Christianity (major religion in USA) that discourages the idea that there is more life in the universe?

The world "one" in our daily conversation conveys any of the following meanings:

(01) "Man" and "Horse" are one (because both are mammals). Here 'one' describes that both man and horse belong to the same genus.

(02) "John" and "Smith" are one. 'One' here shows that both are of the same species.

(03) You say pointing to two carpenters that they are one. Here 'one' means that both have same profession. Or the same adjective can be used for both.

(04) Churchill was an orator, writer, soldier and statesman. You may say that his oratory, penmanship, soldier ship and statesmanship were one, because they were combined in one person.

(05) One-pint milk and one-pint water are 'one', because both have the same quantity.

(06) Hot milk and hot water are 'one' because both are in the same condition.

(07) John and Smith are standing. You may say 'They are one', because both are in the same position.

(08) Robert has two sons, John and Smith. John and Smith are one, because they have the same relation with Robert.

(09) A human-body or a chair is one, because its components or parts are joined together. (But if the parts are disjoined or disintegrated, this 'one' will become millions).

(10) The beginning of counting is called 'one' as the beginning of theoretical line is called point. Countless numbers follows this 'one'.

(11) A matchless or unique person or thing is called one, as, for example, we may say that the sun within our solar system is 'one' because it has no equal within this system.

BUT all these meanings of 'unity' carry the idea of 'duality' or 'plurality' because meaning nos. 1 to 9 show that 'two' or 'more' things are 'one' in some respect. So 'two' or 'more' are always present in these meanings.

'One' as beginning of number or count pre-supposes more than one thing.

A unique thing may be called one, but it is just a metaphorical use which has no relation with reality, because that unique thing, being made of matter, has millions of parts - is not one.

When we say 'God is one', we take none of these meanings in consideration. Unity of God means that He has no parts, no body; He is not divisible even in imagination.
GOD CANNOT BE MORE THAN ONE

God cannot be more than one. Why these bold assertion? There are various reasons. In addition to some of the proofs given earlier, here are two more:

First Proof: It has been proved earlier that God is Eternal. And also it has been proved that Eternal cannot be a compound, mixture or mixed thing.

Now suppose there are two identical pens. They are similar in shape, size, colour and all qualities. Still, they are two, each having a separate identity. So each pen has two kinds of qualities: first, the common qualities which make one pen similar to the other; second, the distinguishing qualities which give each pen its separate entity and identity. In other words, each pen of the set is a compound of mixed lot of two separate properties.

This happens in all examples where two similar things exist side by side. It would surely happen if two Eternals were to exist side by side.

It means that if there were two Eternals they would both be compound. Each would have a common quality, i.e. Eternity; and a distinguishing quality, which would give it a separate personality. This would mean that Eternal would be a compound, which we already have proved to be impossible.

Therefore, God being Eternal cannot be more than one.

Second proof: suppose there were two gods. Could one of them over-ride the decision of the other? If yes, then the second one is weaker than the first, and therefore is not omnipotent, not a god at all. If 'No', then the first one is weaker than the second and therefore not omnipotent, not a god at all.

And if both think and act exactly on similar lines, then what is the need to suppose two gods at all? One god is enough to run this universe!

The pontiff, in his address in Regensburg, argued that faith is a part of reason and should be seen as such. It seems to me that just the opposite is true - That faith is the negation of reason, since it denies the validity of logical argument and objective evidence in the formation of belief, which are the cornerstones of rational thought.

What do you think?
