Religion & Spirituality - 3 October 2006

Christians say "they can't see the truth when it is right in front of them".

Atheists and other non-believers say "they can't see the truth when it is right in front of them"

So ironic to me. Are we all blind to anything other than what we think we know? Or is it that our truths are just that "OUR" truths and no one elses?

Btw - I'm an ex-born again atheist.

LUKE 12:10, "And everyone that says a word against the Son of Man, that will be forgiven; But he that blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
MARK 3:29, "Whoever blasphemes against The Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of everlasting sin."
MATTHEW 12: 31-32 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come".

Suppose Jesus never existed. I could not then believe He is my Lord and Saviour, right? It seems that I would not end up burning for eternity automatically just for dying, so it seems I would not end up in Hell fire and brimstone for eternity.

Therefore, it seems that if it had not been for Jesus Christ, no one would end up burning in Hell fire and brimstone for the rest of eternity.

So, perhaps we should thank Jesus for Hell.

would it really be a mess, as someone said to my last question? or would it revive us? just give it some thought before condemning me, please. You won't change my mind anyway.

If you're afraid of the gifts of the Spirit, then you are afraid of the gift of discernment, right? In which case you're more likely to be decieved than someone who is open-minded about these things.

Yeah, the enemy tries to deceive us, but do you really think God allows those who really love Him and seek His Word, and pray a lot, and obey Him, to be decieved. No, His Word tells us that He will protect us, and it also tells us we can resist the enemy.

By the way, it's disgusting that some "Christians" are always trying to tell me I'm not saved when I ask questions like this.... sorry, we're talking ONE SPECIFIC topic. If you tell me you're a Christian, I assume you're saved. It's not my place to judge you, and I hope you can extend me the same courtesy. Keep in mind, we don't know each other.

I am a Christian, I thought it was humorous. These men with great minds and abilities finding that the Big Bang Theory is even more possible. Yet, it is all still theory... but we have the truth, and no one wants to hear it because it convicts the soul...

He seems to dislike us very much. Let's show him that we can be very nice people. I suggest that we all show him how much we love him everytime that he asks a question like the one above.

I love you Jack D, whether you like it or not, and I have a hug waiting for you if you want it.

Today I will not hurry,
I will take my time instead.
I will walk among the flowers
I will pause and bow my head.
I will savor all the moments
That are still mine to enjoy.
I will laugh and love and ponder
And contemplation employ.
Every moment is an eternity
Residing forever in my heart.
If I rush through it in haste
I will sacrifice what it could impart.
So I will take today as I find it.
Resting secure in what I know.
That there will be a few more lessons
That I am to learn before I go.

Thanks for your thoughts. It is one I wrote this morning and it expresses my feelings today. Let me know your opinions on it please!
Peace Be With You,
Debra

It is just general info that applies to everyone and is likely to fit some situation that you are dealing with. You wouldn't read either unless you are looking for advice or direction and it fills that need. You read it and your like "hey, that applies to me and my life! How could they have known that without going through a higher power?"

In genesis, which was written by Moses.. why is it almost identical to earlier texts such as the hermes trismestigus? Then in the book Acts of the Bible, it states that "moses borrowed the wisdom of the egyptians". Also in genesis when sodom was destroyed because of gay people.. where does it say that they are gay? Because i have read and read.. then looked in ezekial where it brought up Lot and sodom again and it just states that they were detroyed for being not hospitable. Also, lot states to the crowd at the door to take his daughters cause they have not known man, however later he goes to get his son-in-laws that are married to his daughters.. why? obviously they had known man right? Or was the conversation even about sex? Was lot or his daughters later punished for having children together? When Lot went to stay in the mountain after the destruction, his 2 daughters got him drunk, had sex with him then had ben-ammi and mohab. What happened after? read my other??'s please!

For example, if somebody is sick and you pray for them to get better. Does God change his mind about making the person sick? Does He all of a sudden say to Himself "Gee, maybe Jim is right and I shouldn't have given that 80 year old woman cancer..." Or does God just enjoy making people sick so that people will ask Him to make them better? I'm just curious. After all, presumably God knows whats best for ourselves and the world, so does it do us any good to pray for things like health and worldly desires? Won't God just do what He wants to regardless of whether or not we pray?

Okay , here are a few that i have questions on:

Noah's ark ..if 2 of every animal were on board and the world is only between 4000-10,000 years old (as many christian see it) why are their flood stories in many of the other religous cultures, such as indian, aztec, chinese, etc... happening around the same time of noah? They were not on board, right? Then how do they know and how could they record a massive flood at the same time? Were not all people destroyed as stated? If two of everything were on board..that means dinosaurs, correct? How could the ark take 2 of everything, esp. 60-150 foot tall creatures and all the food? Were the dimensions incorrect? What about insects, etc.. If all people except those onboard were destroyed, did noah pull a "Lot" and repopulate with his daughters?
I am not trying to be cute, i really want to know, so if you have an answer share it, but do not act like i know the answers - i am asking because i do not know the answers. thanks!

Satan tempted Adam and Eve, so they sinned. If it weren't for Satan, they would not have sinned. We all became sinners because of this terrible, terrible act of disobeying God. Jesus came for the purpose of saving everyone from the wickedness of Adam and Eve.

But, if it weren't for Satan, there would be no sin, so Jesus would never have died to save us from our sins. So Christians would not even exist. It seems to me that Christians owe Satan a debt of gratitude. After all, if it weren't for Satan, Christians could not spend their lives bragging about how they're going to Heaven and everyone else is going to Hell.
