If so, why are we all still hanging around? I'd really like an answer from another precher, but don't use the old, "cutting God's plan for life short..." answer. What if it's God's plan for someone to commit suicide?

PS before anyone panics, I'm NOT suicidal... just curious

do you think a priest has the right to refuse a baptism to a baby called Lucifer just because of its perceived connotations? Bring that thinking to a logical conclusion and does that mean they have the right to refuse a baptism to a kid called Ian (Huntley) , Myra (Hindley) , Fred (West) because of there connotations?

I just wanted to see where it is in your public library. I have looked at four libraries and two were in reference and the other two in Adult fiction.




If the Bible is all truth, why wouldn't it automatically go to the non-fiction section?

Ok, so this is serious. I have heard of Christians who believe in Evolution. Please, if you are one of these, explain to be how you believe if Christ, and Evolution at the same time. I am not trying to bash on anyone, I am just seriously confused on how some people could believe they are Christians, and yet not even belive the first verse of the first book in the Bible. If you don't believe that, how could you possibly believed Christ died and rose from the dead? Are those people truly Christ believing Christians, or do they just say they are Christains because they want to go to Heaven, or whatever other reasons people call themselves Christians, when they are really not.

And, Don't say "because there's more evidence for evolution" because that is WHOLE nother subject, which if you'd like to talk about, you can just e-mail me.

If Jesus actually existed and did all the miraculous things he is said to have done then surely many people would have written about it during and immediately following Jesus' life. Writing was common at the time, yet an extensive search by many scholars over centuries has turned up nothing. The very few references to Jesus that allegedly date back to his lifetime are clearly forgeries, forged no doubt hundreds of years later by people who realized this embarrassing lack of evidence needed to be rectified (see Joseph Wheless Forgery in Christianity).

Even if we ignore the evidence that they are forgeries, the very small number of these questionably authentic writings that allegedly date back to his alleged lifetime are still far too few. There should be a huge wealth of writing about this person that was written during his lifetime.

Jesus allegedly had crowds of thousands follow him around. Once he fed 5000 people with only a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish (Mark 6:39-44). Later he repeated the miracle again feeding a crowd of 4000 people (Mark 8:1-9). Jesus cured sick people miraculously and raised people from the dead. He changed water into wine at a wedding reception. He exorcised demons. He commanded 2000 pigs to rush into a lake and drown themselves, inciting the people of the nearby town and countryside, who asked him to leave. (No mention is made of what happened to the poor pig hearder whose livelihood must have been ruined. Mark 5:1-20).

Wherever Jesus went a crowd gathered and wondered in amazement who this person was. Jesus was a very controversial person. Finally he got himself into so much trouble that huge crowds of Jews demanded his execution. There was a controversial trial followed by his public execution. Three days later he is seen walking around alive again. And no one wrote any of this down when it allegedly happened?

Even the earliest full account of Jesus in the Bible, the Gospel of Mark, is admitted by the Catholic Church to date to at least A.D. 70, a full 40 years after Jesus' alleged death and resurrection. (Mark makes reference to an event that happened around A.D. 70, so it could not have been written any earlier. Modern scholars now date the Gospels as being written near A.D. 170, a full 140 years after the alleged event, since no one makes any reference to a Gospel of Mark, or any other Gospel, prior to this time.)

It's inconceivable that no one at the time bothered to write down anything about the most important person in the whole of human history. Writing was common back then. People wrote letters. Historians wrote commentaries on current events. The Romans wrote and kept legal documents about trials. It's considered one of the best documented periods of history. Yet no one wrote anything about this Jesus; no one painted a portrait of this Jesus; no one drew a sketch of this Jesus; no one cast a coin depicting this Jesus; no one made a statue of this Jesus; no one makes any reference whatsoever to this Jesus. The historical evidence is overwhelming—the Jesus of the Bible never existed.

Essentially: "screw evidence.. such and such is impossible, therefore such and such"

Basically declaring, without any rhyme or reason, a certain thing to be impossible, and then ranting.

What kind of arguement is this?

It seems the more I educate myself the less tolerant I become to those with nonsensical ideals and belief systems. This causes problems as my family and some friends are deeply religious. As a pastime I do enjoy discussing all sorts of religions but it generally leaves me and others frustrated. I’m not looking to be preached at here as I was raised in a religious household, and at this point common sense tells me that it is all nonsense.

I was wondering why you still believe evolution is possible when there is so much evidence that contradicts it.

Evolution fails even to account for the building-blocks of a cell. The formation, under natural conditions, of just one single protein out of the thousands of complex protein molecules making up the cell is impossible.

Proteins are giant molecules consisting of smaller units called amino acids that are arranged in a particular sequence in certain quantities and structures[1]. These units constitute the building blocks of a living protein. The simplest protein is composed of 50 amino acids, but there are some that contain thousands.

The crucial point is this. The absence, addition, or replacement of a single amino acid in the structure of a protein causes the protein to become a useless molecular heap[2]. Every amino acid has to be in the right place and in the right order. The theory of evolution, which claims that life emerged as a result of chance, is quite helpless.

I became a christian many years ago, then stopped going to church. I WANT to believe that Jesus was the son of God, and that the bible is true, but sometimes I wonder if the feelings and faith I've had in the past are true or just wishfull thinking.....the power of the mind to believe in something which isn't there.
How can I KNOW for certain. Do all christians sometimes have doubts which they keep to themselves?

Only serious answers please.
