I am going to sing the song "Held" by Natalie Grant. It is about going through bad/hard/awful stuff in our lives, but still being "held" by God. Want to read a verse or 2 before I do it.

what do you guys think....declaration of war against everyone who doesent happen to fit the persons specific niche of beleif?

is anyone else bothered by screennames like that? "war4thelord, christiansoldier4life, soldierforgod, marine4christ"

is it me or is it like theyre waving a "we are willing kill for our god" flag. do you think thats a bit too far? how long will it be before they record themselves declaring war on those "infidels" and unbeleivers. when will we see christian terrorists bombing buildings & stuff again?

I am sick of people talking about how logical this or that position is, while they traffic in their own logical fallacies. You look like fools.

When a new human is created, how does God decide what soul gets put in the body? Does He create a new soul for each body or what? Is he planning on making a certain number of souls or just keep making them as long as bodies are being made?

The man in the bible was running naked amonst the toombs. The
people said no chain would hold him. When jesus cast the demons out of him, he went back to the city praising god. Today he would
have been put in a mental hosp. and filled with psycotropic drugs.
Present day. Two people in group therapy were hearing voices.
The voices didn't say, love your neighbor, do good today, the voices told them to kill themselves or hurt someone else. A man
comes to take his medicine at the window. He must talk to his demon(which has a name) to get premission to take them. A young
lady met another lady in college involved in witchcraft, said she went
to a church filled with witches, now I here in this mental hosp. my
thoughts stolen, my mind like jellow. Most chtistians believe jesus
did cast demons out of people, but don't believe when you talk
about them today.

Find out with this little test:

"If a man also writes with his left hand, as he writes with his right hand, he has committed abomination."

Is this sentence saying..
A) It is abomination for a right-handed man to also write with his left hand
OR
B) It is abomination to be left handed

Since it is obvious that the person is righthanded and says nothing of left handed people, the answer is A. So now look at this sentence and give your answer:

"If a man also lies with mankind, as he lies with a woman, he has committed abomination."

Is this Bible verse saying...
A) It is abomination for a man that lies with a woman (a heterosexual) to also lie with a man
OR
B) It is abomination to be homosexual

(HINT: This second question is identical to the first one, with only the subject changed)

again, i ask questions here because it takes less time than researching. i'm just wondering what atheists have to say besides "just think logically" and "there is no god." just take me beyond the stereotypical, if you will.

maybe even tell me, if you're an atheist, why you believe what you do.

So the tree, holly, wreaths, mistletoe, eating of ham, etc are derived from Yule (pre-christianity). When did Christians adapt the Yule traditions and why?

O Christians, to whom you are worshiping since 2000 years. Why not you read Quran the final revealation of Allah for ULTIMATE TRUTH?

So why do we celebrate Christmas with so much more fanfare than Easter? Christmas celebrates Jesus Christ's birth, and Easter celebrates His death and resurrection. Why are there no Easter carols? Why don't people travel across country, or across the world, on Easter, or even Good Friday, to be with family? Why don't we give Easter presents (aside from little kids getting easter baskets with gifts, eggs, chocolates, etc. in them)?

Does it have to do with how we celebrate and are joyous when a birth happens, and sad and mournful when a death happens? Jesus' death upon the Cross was not a sad death like you normally have happen to your friends and family. It was sad to see how he suffered and died, but the good news is that he's ALIVE. He defeated death, hell, and the devil! If anyone saw "The Passion of the Christ", you remember the scene with the devil getting angry after Jesus' death. The devil knew that Jesus was VICTORIOUS forevermore!!

Suposely Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist to get rid of the "sin" at the moment of the conception between Mary and Josep...But in the Bible it also says tht Jesus was consived without sin , that Mary was still a virgin when Jesus was born...So if Jesus was concibed without sin by the holy spirit and keeping Mary as a Virgin... why dis John the Baptist baptised Jesus? The Baptism is to get rid of the sin in wich th baby was made.....
It's so confusing, maybe something is a lie....what? the extrange conception of the Virgin Mary, still being virgin even the boy was born? or John the baptist make a mistake?
well....it's up to you I BELIVE IN GOD NOT THE BIBLE
