If he thinks I've sinned, then that's his problem not mine. He may send me to hell, but he has no moral ground to do that.

His only argument is that he's stronger than me. "I'm bigger than you. Do what I say!". A small minded insecure bully.

Why does the Bible not speak of planets and dinosaurs. Could it be because the Bible is a fairy tail made by man and when it was written we did not have the technology to know that planets existed as well as the dinosaurs before us. The bible says God made the heaven and the earth it never speaks of other planets. Why.?

Some people are so used to using anti-concepts that they do not realize that their arguments make no sense. An anti-concept is any concepts that does not have a reference in reality and cannot be proven but one chooses to use it anyway, as if by merely using it the object becomes real. For example, one can use honesty as a concept because in reality we can distinguish people who are truthful from those who fake reality. But the concept theos or God is invented and does not refer to anything in reality or anything that can be proven to exist, like the magic flying carpet.

I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.
Judge not and you shall not be judged.
I will show my Glory to whom I will.
Blessed are those who believe, but have not seen.

Isn't this our justification doctrine? What does it say?
Why would a prophet say:
Blessed are those who believe, but have not seen.

and Isn't condemnation the work of Satan?

They go to church on Sunday and fornicate and do all sorts of sinfull things every other day. Why do these people let church get in the way of their fun? They are not fooling anyone. It is better to be honest in sin.

Now don't worry I'm not considering it in the least. I read an answer saying that, that sin could not be forgiven and thus all people who commite suicide go to hell. This seems strange to me for those people have gone thru some extream pain. I mean they have a disease of the brain and would God really condem them for being sick.
If you have an answer I would appreciate it if you could elaborate more than just a yes of a no.
Thanks.

how can it be done?

2006-12-11 17:25:26 · 22 answers · asked by Anonymous

I thought it was very thought provoking. Usually I don't foward this stuff, but I thought this one deserved to get fowarded. If you want, copy and paste it and foward it to your friends.

Dear loved ones,
As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.

It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.

I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.

In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" .. as if the party were in his honor!

At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and ... do you know ... no one hugged me. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me.
What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart.

I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.
I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite, will be left outside.
Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.

I heard that Muslims believe in the Torah as wellas the Qur'an....if this is the case, how do you explain the fact that in the Torah, Abraham puts Isaac up for sacrifice and in the Qur'an its Ishmael...how does someone as a Muslim reconcile these differences in scriptures?

I happen to think a man can go through life and never sin. Do people just use human weakness as an excuse? Do they think they can trick God?

Why would you choose to save a human being?
Why would you choose to save your pet?

Area humans or pets superior or inferior based simply on species? Would you favor a monkey over a dog??

I know this is sort-of vague, but I need quick help in quickly locating a couple of passages in the Bible that I've read, I just can't find right now. Do you know where, after the crucifiction, Jesus appeared to some of his disciples in a town and they didn't recognize Him? Also, I believe He also stated once that someone else was previously known by another name? If anyone knows what I'm talking about, could you tell me where to find those two things (or at least one)? Thanks!

When asked, I was unable to supply biblical verses that state that we can have a personal relationship with Jesus. I need only biblical quotes, just the book/chapter/verses.

This is a question about biblical clarity, not about anyone’s personal testimony.

Thank you.

I'm atheist but my brother and his wife are really religious. The other day when we were eating they started praying, so I said what's the point of praying? They said to thank God for the food.

But that's just stupid because God didn't give them that food. They worked hard for the money to buy that food so why are they thanking God for it? God didn't buy it or make it they did.
