They have also given this Satan all the aspects of a God, yet deny they accept this personified concept of evil as one of their Gods along with Jesus .

Here's an example where Satan should not even come into the answer. I picked the question at random when a person was asking about psychic readings:

" I believe it is true, such as in prophecies revealed to us by the Holy Spirit, but you can also get a prediciton from somebody who is enlightened by Satan,"

Let's face it... If god REALLY didn't want people to sin, he wouldn't have instituted this free will nonsense. This convoluted system of confession - penance - absolution is the most ridiculous thing imaginable. If there were a god who was really interested in our trivial little lives, he'd simply make people's heads explode to discourage bad behavior.

Everyone would be "Christ-like" in no time, and hey... you'd still have your free will if you wanted it, but the consequences would just be a bit more dire.

There have been Plenty of People in history who for the most part might of been dirt poor, were not educated, did not do anything of great importance in life according to man, had disabilites but still felt a happiness in life and died peacefully knowing the love of GOD and Promises he had for them..

What about the Unbeliever?
Thomas Merton remarked that man is not at peace with his fellow man because he is not at peace with himself, and that he is restless with himself because he has no peace with God.
Pleasure-seekers throughout history have found over and over that the temporary diversions of life give way to a deeper despair. The nagging feeling that “something is wrong” is hard to shake off. King Solomon gave himself to a pursuit of all this world has to offer, and he recorded his findings in the book of Ecclesiastes.
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”

Is it a dishoner to call him by an English name (Jesus instead of Yeshua) and to depict him as being Anglo-saxon?

I know the body isn't everything, but isn't his humanness the way people are supposed to be able to connect to him? So shouldn't we depict him the right way, as the right race, and use the correct name?

when the make their money by either selling their bodies and breaking up homes or selling death and destruction. I have heard stories about people in these jobs that claim "they work hard for their money!" But at what cost?? I believe God's Word where it says,"A man that doesn't work, does not eat," but how far are people willing to stretch things to fit their sins....or the pc term...life?

Be blessed!!

Answer:
In 1954, Congress passed a law requiring that In God We Trust be placed on all U.S. coins and currency. Prior to this action, the phrase had appeared only on some coins but not on dollar bills and paper currency. The first dollars bearing the religious motto were printed in October 1957. In 1956, Congress changed the national motto from E Pluribus Unum ("out of many, one," which still appears on the presidential seal) to In God We Trust. Original coins did not bear this motto. The first coin to bear the phrase was issued in 1864 at the request of the Baptist minister Mark R. Watkinson who suggested the addition would "relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism." Gradually the religious phrase was added to other coins, although President Theodore Roosevelt officially objected to the practice, regarding it as sacrilegious.

I don't know how to pray. I seriously don't. Is there a proper way to do it, or do I just talk about anything? I heard there is a certain way to go about it, but I am not sure how.

How and why did you join the Church? Are you a convert or were you born in it? If you were born in it, have you received your own personal testimony of the truth of the faith?

Is it just a counter culture that formed from social need, or something more?

If every believer in the GOD of the BIble creator of the Heavens and Earth were removed from the Planet how do you think the world would get along?

How would you persnally feel about the life you had and the ones that exsisted with you?

Would you feel that life on earth would coexsist peacefully and lovingly?

I personally feel that you would all have a pain of lonliness and hurt of unimaginable consequences...

I just saw this as an answer from a christian to a light-hearted question posed. Do you agree with this "witness"? Do you feel that non-believers will be reached this way?

'Jesus Christ knows your hearts desire! Making fun of God is one of the only sins that is not forgiven! So even if you're saved by truly accepting Jesus Christ into your heart! You'll still have to pay for your jokes!!!So if you're not even sorry! Than you will be going to the HOTTEST place there is!! That's hell fire!!! Now you can't say that you haven't been warned!!! Why are you people so ungrateful for your lives!? Wow! you're stupid!! '
