Verse:

"Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place." (Deuteronomy 12:2-3)

Christians, why when God says that we should love everyone, do you (and I do not speak for all of us) bash other people who believe different then you? Yes we are supposed to try to open them to the truth, but through love and compassion, not through hatred and anger. Why do you insist on being crude when God says we should love?

i am looking for honest answers here, not seeking to offend or cause any arguments!

the majority of "good christians" i have come across tell me that if i repent my sins before i die, i will be let into heaven. but, what if right before my death i accidentally kill someone (say i stumble and in trying to stop myself i accidentally push them into traffic) and dont have time to repent because suddenly my head is smashed open with a rock or something? do i go to hell even though the rest of my life i have been a good christian and repented my sins? or is there some sort of "what if" clause that i dont know about?

If God knows the decision of every individual, before they are born, regarding the acceptance or denial of Jesus as a savior, then why does he create one set of individuals destined for heaven and another set destined for eternal damnation? This seems unjust, perverse and particularly evil.

- I am Christian and I do not understand this.

God ruined two cities, and killed all the people in those towns along with it. God flooded the planet, and killed all human being, small children included.

The standard Christian reaction: "yeah, those people were evil".

Why is that? Does human life matter that little?

And how would the world react if God ruined a town nowadays? Would we also just say "yeah, evil people, no worries" ?

Questions like this literally keep me awake at night...are people like them just evil? Or do they honestly believe that what they are doing is right? And if theybelieve that they are right and that God wants them to do things like that, should they go to hell just for having different beliefs?

Do Satanists worship Satan or themselves?

Probably more Luciferean then Satanist. Having read Alistair Crowley, still don't understand why Satanists worship Satan, when your only meant to worship yourself.

I may be wrong but Satanism is about worshiping yourself as a god, not some exterior being that may not even exist, or summoning demons that probably don't exist.

It seems that hollywood has infiltrated the old school Satanism to make everyone believe we are all warlocks or something.

The love for Life...................or....................The love for Christ?

2007-03-26 16:59:02 · 10 answers · asked by hardworkur84 2

When I was younger, I believe whole-heartedly in creation. Then, as I got older, went to college, and did some more reading, I realized there is a lot more evidence for what scientists claim (this may sound vague, but I'm trying to make a long story short). I also took another look at the writings that try to promote creationism. Virtually all of them are devoted to knitpicking evolution, while almost none of them present any evidence that everything began with a naked couple in a garden and a talking snake.

To be perfectly blunt, this is not a good argument. As any intro to logic student will tell you, disproving claim A does not automatically prove B; in other words, evolution could very well be wrong, despite the vast evidence supporting it, but that would not automatically make creationism right.

So...in the interest of briefness, I'll get to the point: what evidence is there for a literal interpretation of the Bible?

I've tried doing searches on the internet to find out if there are any serious organized groups or organizations who are trying to get the Jerry Springer show off the air. I'm also wondering how a show like that was allowed to air or remain on T.V. It's the worst show I"ve ever seen. People shouldn't be encouraged to fight each other on television. It makes some people to think that acting perverted is something to be proud of.

please note, i am not trying to offend, start arguments, or any of that, i am just seeking opinions.

the bible is old, like, REALLY old, and the stuff in it is mostly oldschool stuff. it was written in a time when what was in it was appropriate for that culture. the basic morals apply today but there is some stuff i hear people qouting from the bible that quite frankly scares the crap out of me! when is the last time the bible had something relevant to this exact second in time, with all the technology and stuff going on written in it. remember, i did mention that a lot of the fundimentals (the love thy neighbore, thou shall not steal, you know, good morals that should be instilled in everybody) are still relevant....but would god consider television a sin if so many people waste time sitting in front of it, even if there are people preaching on it? things of that nature. when is the last time anything new was written in the bible?

Do you believe that humans are animals?

Im a christian. and in class this young girl asked me this question "are we animals." I said no but this other girl who is also a christian said yes and I asked her why she would say this. She responded by saying "were warm blooded so are animals and animals are mammals and so are we which makes us animals to." but I told this girl there is no way that humans are animals because nowhere in the bible does it say and I live by the truth and people need to understand there's a diffrence between religion and science but 2 other girls who were also christians said humans are animals so Im wondering how many other christians think this way.
