Isn't that a bit not...godly. Who chooses who will be pure and who will not, I think god loved everyone the same, then why is it that he chooses one over the other...don't you think jesus is so lucky because "God" has favorites.....why are not acceptable to be his only child? and who says that we are all born a sinner...somethin about that is fishy, think about it....

Is it because they don't understand scripture?
Is it because they really think people will believe if they are feel threatened?
Did you become a Christian because you thought if you didn't you would go to hell?

I have read the Bible, I have studied Philosophy, Science, History, languages, prayed , and the more I use my critical thinking skills the more I get doubts , I am very skeptical about organized religions especially 2 of them, I have many doubts about the Bible or Qur'an for that matter . How can you NOT have any doubts about what you believe in with so many religions and beliefs? it is just a mess.How did you get that faith that is telling you the religion you are following is the right religion? do not tell me to pray, because I do that, do not tell me to read the bible, because I did do all that and it is not working for me and obviously if there was JUST ONE WAY TO REACH OUT TO GOD there would NOT be so many religions in the world, and do not tell me that Satan is confusing people.For those who believe such a thing how can you be so certain he is not deceiving you instead of the others? How do you have that certainty about it? I see many verses of the bible that contradict one another, God appears in many verses as a spiteful God, while I want to keep the idea of a GOOD GOD, and I should follow just what is good, and reject what brings fear and violence. I went to SO MANY DIFFERENT Churches Catholic,Baptist, , Mormon, Jehovah Witnesses just to name a few , and the list goes on and on...I saw so much hypocrisy, mostly people following this or that religion no because OF LOVE, the message that I would think God wants for us to have, but because of FEAR , or because they want a reward from GOD.
I still believe there is a God, something that has created us, an intelligent designer, but as far as what he really wants from us I really cannot understand based on what a few religions say. Why should I be punished according to some religions if in all my heart I have been trying to reach out to God, but I do not feel in my heart that I should cling onto any religion?
I cannot force myself to believe this or that religion, and the more I think and the more I follow my heart I get convinced that LOVE is just all I need.
PEACE.

Is it simply because they've been told one is true and one is a myth? What do you think?

Seems a famous evangelical or bishop is caught molesting or partying with hookers every couple of months

Is this covered in Revelation?

in 1992 that the" earlier church leaders took the bible too literally". Doesn't this mean the same as saying that some parts are not true, and if that's the case, what parts are true? Do we just pick and choose to suit our own purposes?
