Why did some of his angels including Satan rebel againts him why did Adam and Eve disobey him, why did he destroy the world once because he was dissappointed why is he planning to destroy it again.
If the only answer is because of free will, what is to prevent rebellion again in God's paradise afterall will there not still be free will.
If you keep wiping things that you created out and starting all over, are you not admitting that you did not do a good job the first time. No simplistic answer some different perspective please.

Because, clearly he was a christian.
And a devout one.
In fact, the Nazi party could not have existed had it not been for the church's support.
Want the proof?
Read here. I won't spoil it for you, suffice to say that the similarities between the Nazi party and christianity are numerous and frightening in their dogma.

Two Male figures. The latest population Stats find female world population at 52%. Where is our representation in Heaven? Is the Christian God Democratic? Is one of the male figures an imposter? Are the Heavenly Parents Homosexuals? Because that is the image Christianity presents to me. Are we really worshipping the "Devil?

were are the Japanese ,Chinese, australians and others.
in the early writing of the bible are we supposed to believe that god created man at the same time dinosaurs walked the earth
is religion not just a set of laws used by every civilization on the planet to control men with fear of the unknown
isn't religion 95% culture
before you are angered by these question
scrutinize these flaws and try to challenge yourself
p.s
why has religion stopped being written ?
i think the things which were seen as amazing to those before us
we now solve with science
and greater knowledge and if a savior were to come before the modern world he would be sectioned

For starters, whether or not those of you reading this want to accept it, this IS FACT. No matter how much you don't like it, it is true.

The real Bible contains hundreds, maybe thousands of scriptures to it. The Bible that exists in our society today was composed of constantine and rulers of varying religions at the Council of Nicea. This counicil highly edited the Bible, to shape it into something they thought that their people would cling to; something that would help create an unquestionable society and story. The purpose of it's shaping was not to tell the word of God as accurately as possible. It's scriptures were specifically included to get people to believe 1 specific story, rather than the huge, questionable, and not-too-appealing real Bible. Wouldn't you rather like to follow the real word of God instead of the publicity stunt we have today? How can you still follow it?

....if God actually existed? This question isn't about religion of any sort. I just sometimes wonder...what if he really does exist? How many people would be terrified if he happened to come tomorrow? How many people would regret everything that was done in life?

Another point I want to make is that we know that demons exist right? Some people claim to be possesed with evil spirits...so if their are evil spirits there must be good spirits too, which would be angels...and if there are angels, there has to be a God also...it kind of makes sense...

Many faiths point to a personal experience of God.

If you believe that you experience a spiritual force in your life, can you explain how you concluded that it was God?

Why do you reject seeing it as a component of your own unconscious mental processes?

If you feel God's presence, does this presence give you messages or lead you to perform particular acts?

What happens when someone else experiences a similarly sincere revelation that is at odds with your own spiritual messages from God?

From the book of Teilhard de Chardin: "Christianity and Evolution"

Conclusion

Some years ago, in the course of a conversation with an old missionary - something of a visionary, but universally regarded as a saint - I heard him make the following surprising statement: "History shows that no religion has been able to maintain itself in the world for more than two thousand years. Once that time has run out, they all die. And it is coming up to two thousand years for Christianity..." By that he, as a prophet, meant that the end of the world was close at hand; but to me his words had a graver import.
Two thousand years, more or less, is indeed a long stage for man particularly if, as is happening today, there has just been added to it the critical point of a "change of age". So many attitudes and outlooks are modified after twenty centuries that, in the context of religion, we have to slough off the old skin. Our formulas have become narrow and inflexible; we find them irksome, and they have ceased to have an emotional impact on us. There must be a "moult" if we are to continue to live.
As a Christian, I am barred from believing that it is possible for Christianity to disappear in this period of transition that is upon us, as has happened to other religions. I believe Christianity to be immortal. But this immortality of our faith does not prevent it from being subject (even as it rises above them) to the general laws of periodicity which govern all life. I recognize, accordingly, that at the present moment Christianity (exactly like the mankind it embraces) is reaching the end of one of the natural cycles of its existence.
By dint of repeating and developing in the abstract the expression of our dogmas, we are well on the way to losing ourselves in the clouds where neither the turmoil nor the aspirations nor the living vigour of the earth can penetrate. Religiously, we are living, in relation to the world, in a two-fold intellectual and emotional isolation: an indication that the time for a renewal is close at hand. After what will soon be two thousand years, Christ must be born again, he must be reincarnated in a world that has become too different from that in which he lived. Christ cannot reappear tangibly among us; but he can reveal to our minds a new and triumphant aspect of his former countenance.
I believe that the Messiah whom we await, whom we all without any doubt await, is the universal Christ; that is to say, the Christ of evolution.

Tientsin, Christmas 1933

What appeals to you when trying a new church? Is it the music? The people? If so please elaborate your answers. I am trying to start up a drama team in my church but am wanting to know if that would attract new and younger generations. Serious answers please no funny stuff.

Let's say a powerful alien civilization faked the second coming of Jesus, revelations, etc. through the use of extremely advanced technology so that the Earth Christians would believe it. Maybe they did this for their amusement or to further a cause of theirs. How would you know if it was the real Jesus or not?

An honest question: If you believe that the Bible is the infallible word for word "Word of God", what part of it do you believe is infallible? The Old Testament has a lot of rules that I know for sure you don't follow and a lot of theological concepts that would be absolutely foreign to a modern evangelical Christian. I am sorry if I have offended, but I really would like to know your reasoning on this.

Peace

There are dozens of Bible versions, many with significant differences such as the use of "God" or "a god" in John 1 in several. Which should be used?

If the King James Bible, which one? There were five produced, worked on by different people, over a 150 year time period.

King James I's dissatisfaction with the Geneva Bible's strict puritanism and dedication to the teachings of Christ above all else, led to the creation of the King James Bible. Only the last one sufficiently matched the teachings of the Church of England enough to be Authorized. His only clear connection to the work was to lift the capital punishment penalty for doing the work.
