Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult. Whoever rebukes a wicked person incurs abuse. Do not rebuke a mocker or they will hate you. Rebuke a wise person and they will love you. Proverbs 9:7-8


Please interpret the meaning of this in daily life.

usually i have this one

"Atheism: The Logical Choice"

but a few questions ago this one popped into my head

"keep thy religion to thyself and ye shall never suffer an Atheist scorn"

should i drop the first one for the second one? or use them both at the same time?

According to the Christian tradition, we carry the sin of Adam and Eve to this day, a sin from generations ago. Will parents be punished for the sins of their children? Say that there is a particular family. They have always been very pious and humble. However, one son in this family completely rejects the religion. His parents sent him to a good Christian school, brought him to church every week, and tried to instill Christianity into him with all of their hearts. They did everything they knew how to do but still failed. The parents atone for their failure and continue to try but eventually die, while the son continues his life of sin. Will the parents be judged for the actions of their child? What about his grandparents? Great-grandparents?

I'm guessing some of you will say that this isn't a possible scenario, that if the parents had done everything their son would be a Christian. I appreciate this sentiment but would like to hear from those who consider this a viable situation.

What tricks / Miracles do you think he would perform to convince the world that he is the second coming of jesus. How do you think the False Prophet would hoodwink everyone into giving up religion and following this new doctrine?

Thanks!

Does this crack you up like it does me. Get real!

There are many roads to God. He does not care which road you take. He does not care if you take no road.

Do you think thaT God wants his people to be brainwashed zombies or open minded independent thinkers?

Who would you rather spend eternity with? I choose independent thinkers.

Not all religious people are brainwashed, there are many open minded intelligent Chrisitans for example. I have not seen too many on here tonight however.

How do you suppose you can get to Heaven? since that we are sinners, God will "NOT" let a sinner into his presence that is pure and Holy. Who made attonment for your sins? The bible said our good works are like filthy rags to God. If you break one commandment, God says you are guilty of breaking them all. A sin is a sin to God. So you guys are in trouble then. You cannot tell me that you have never sinned in your life. If you get angry with someone and hate the person, God said you have already committed murder in you heart, and Jesus said if you look at another person with lust you have committed audoltry in you heart. I am covered by the blood of Jesus, who are you covered by? You too were died for, but since you do not believe Jesus died for your sins, just curious on how you will get into Heaven, since like I said God will not let sinners in, infact he will punish them in Hell. God created Hell for Satan and his angels, but anybody who disobeys him will go there.

Simplest logic of knowing you can not exist, colliding with obvious overwhelming evidence that you DO exist, gathered by this existance. Which is real? Do you exist?!?

Think: YOU CAN NOT EXIST!

Why? Everything, fit appropriately to your belief system has to be created by an intelligent designer or caused by a natural event.

God does not have to be created, always is, always was doesn't work.
Original event with same rules doesn't work either.

If god/event was not created, even if it is eternal it would have to be caused. He could not spring into existance without cause, because existance doesn't play by those rules. EVERYTHING HAS A CAUSE! It wouldn't go back to some original existance like god, or some original existance like w/e caused the big bang theory or atheistic theories that is natural.

The only conclusion you can come to in that debate with yourself is:
YOU DON'T EXIST! ...but obviously, you do. So, were back at the beginning.
Plz...someone guide my brain somewhere.

Why do some preach that God promises Christians health and wealth? The scripture they use goes something like "My heart's desire is for you to prosper". That verse was not spoken by God but by the author of a letter to one of the churches. Jesus told us to be content with what we have. And christians get sick and die like everybody else. Makes me feel like bad because I'm not wealthy and my health ain't that great either.

ok, for starters, You NEVER hear ANYONE tell you something their god believe that they disagree with. people claim to be all sorts of denominations from all sorts of different sechts, and yet, they disagree with certain church rules. This world started out with people making up gods to explain what they couldn't, Water flows because of this god, the sun rises because of this god, science has whittled it down century after century, and now we are a mostly monothesitc earth that has 1 god to explain everything we can't... How can religious people not see that they are JUST MAKING THIS CRAP UP!?!?!

It really makes me SiCK to listen to all you theists talk about how we are living in the end of times. This has bin the thinking of people for ages. There has also bin numerous false prophesies about the end of the world. Some even being presented by Popes and other major religious figures. How do you think people felt in Europe during the bubonic plague?

Any body with me on this one???
