I have found many people that have tried to prove the reality of a fantastic (wonderful, full of wonder), remarkable (able to give something more, or speak on the subject) and strange() notion that there is a certain character known as the devil who makes people do all wrong things, but I think this is misunderstading, and I think that this is a misunderstanding. Yes if anyone is adept at poetry thank you.(If you have any question about the last sentence means, it is my own proof against the devil, but if I feel that it is appropriate I'll include it in my commentary) Also A question for christians. Is there any proof in the bible that if one thinks lucifer a force of nature rather than a big red person with a pitch fork is he actually following a big red person with a pitchfork, thank in advance,

ps:if anyone is trying to solve my riddle, in my first sentence I said "this is misunderstanding" and then a said "a misunderstanding"

I am thankful that Jesus saved me. It gives me peace of mind to know where I am going when I die. To know my soul will be continually with Him. I am thankful for the family that He has provided me with. Even though I get so busy and irritated, I don't know what I would do without them.

And you?

why is it so important we all agree this trinity idea as if we really knew what that meant. If all we need is to Love Jesus (all that that enpompasis and nothing more) to get to heaven then what possible doctrine could be so improtant as to cause separation within the body like we have today. Further more then why are the Muslims so far off the mark. What they believe is no different about Jesus than the Christian view that the relationship between or within God and Jesus. I suspect it is a relationship that can not be written in words.

Be of one ACCORD

cuz we fight He sees and

Jesus weeps to this day

I asked for a referance giving the exact relationship I received none 20 minutes ago

When you do that people think you are christian robots, not to mention stupid to threaten someone with something they dont believe in. It pushes people futher and further from your religon. Now that you know... if you continue to do it you are knowingly pushing people from your religon and god will know and im sure he doesnt take kindly to you keeping people away knowingly.

Go outside, take a deep breath, look at the grass and the trees and the birds, and don't you just feel Gods presence?

Hopefully I will get some answers from practicing Muslims. If your a practicing Muslim and I tell you I don't believe in Islam and you tell me you don't hate me then there are two options open.

1) You are lying
2) You don't know your own doctrine well enough


Look I don't have an issue with the people themselves of course not. But it is your religion I take issue with.

Let's start with Isaac and Ishmael.

That is what this holy war with the Jews is really about isn't it?

God made the covenant with Isaac simple as that but not with Ishmael.

Ishmael and Isaac both had 12 sons.

Ishmael branched away and created Islam as we know it today.

Isaac is the Jewish Religion as we know it today.

That is what all the fighting is about for those who don't know.

Here this now if you think practicing Muslims like Americans research their doctrine for yourselves they have no other choice bound by their doctrine but to hate us. Their religion instructs hate.

I am a Christian, and i dont believe that it is just a religion. Its a relationship with Jesus Christ! Christianity is true, in every way! It has evidence to back it up, and that evidence is called the BIBLE.

What does that make you? I know you answered yes to at least one of these, because we all have lied. If God were to judge you according to his standards, The 10 Commandments, would you be innocent or guilty on judgment day?

okay i already know your not suppsossed to be gay or a lesbian. but i mean we all fall short of god's glory. But doesn't being bi kind of set it over the edge. My friend is bi and she is still religous, and so does that mean she won't go to heaven. Me, i don't care that she is, not a big deal. But it's just not me. People can be whatever they want to be as long as they don't pull me to hell.

...from a place or being of absolute truth, what would it be?

Be more creative than the standard, "Why are we here?" question (every being in the universe knows the answer to that, on some level of their being or else they wouldn't be here).

My religion strictly says "don't marry anyone outside our religion." I kinda didn't get it. Doesn't god want us to love anyone- depsite what their beliefs, ethnicity, OR RELIGION they are? Thats what I believe, but I was afraid to question. Then I met my bf, who wasnt in my religion. My parents do not approve, because he;s not in my religion, but he makes me understand life. He's read the bible and he understands, and he questions like I do, and now I think that its ignorant to say "If you leave this religion, god will hate you!" because, what if you believe god? Do you really need a religion to tell you that every other belief is wrong and a sin? The thing is, my parents wont let me talk to my bf! They say he's a "bad association" but i think, why is he a bad association if he believes in god, just like I do, but just not in my religion? don't you agree?

are hateful and rude about it? If someone says something about God, they get snobby and offended, or go beyond disagree and try to be extra negative about it? Why do some people act an a** like that?

As some of you who've already answered my questions today can tell (thank you, btw), I'm really grappling with the whole Athiesm thing. I realized recently that I haven't really taken the time to understand why you believe the way you do. And so, I'm taking the time. I'm asking.

Would it be fair to say that many of you are more opposed to religion & religious dogma than to God?

Let me put it to you this way: Think of the coolest place you've ever been with the least amount of intervention of man. Or perhaps think of a living creature in nature, say, a deer, a wolf, or say dolphins, or even a beloved pet. Or perhaps think of the person who's meant the most to you, who, without question, has contributed beneficially to your life.

Now scrape everything you've ever heard about God & let's make it bear-bones creation & Creator. If it were to become blaringly evident that this creation is merely a reflection of this Creator, would you still be opposed to such a one?

I'm amused when people answer my questions like I seriously think that atheists walk around persecuting christians for no reason, or if they are all drunkards, or that they lie cheat and steal with no remorse, etc. Look at my history of questions you'll see what I mean. In any event. I'm just foolin y'all! SHEESH! Lighten up.

Who are our Witnesses?
In evaluating evidence, we must consider not only what the witness says but also his character and his trustworthiness. Ancient historians were usually paid by royalty who desired to be flattered. They were not motivated to make truth known. The New Testament writers were not paid by anyone. On the contrary, they risked loss of liberty and even death for what they wrote. No impartial court could lightly dismiss the evidence of witnesses ready to suffer such hardships for what they assert. They declare unanimously that they saw, heard, and touched the reality of Jesus' resurrection. If we trust pagan historians whose motives are suspect, why not trust historians whose motives are pure – as evidenced by their willingness to suffer.

We have only three options when it comes to examining the disciples' trustworthiness as eyewitnesses:

1) Either they were all liars motivated by some evil desire, or

2) They themselves were deceived, or

A female muslim teacher has just been suspended for wearing a veil in class. Muslims are also calling for arrests of individuals that use defamatory remarks against Allah. Isn't this an infringement on our rights of freedom of speech?When our beliefs and fundamental attitudes are so different can we really coexist in todays society? I'm a realist not a racist so please refrain from jumping on a bandwagon that doesn't exist.I see a lot of fear in people in my line of work and I'm worried because I know what fear can turn into! What are your views?
