I know that God has always existed. No one created him and he has always had his powers.

What's so hard to understand about that?

I heard this atheist talking about this earlier and it pissed me off. Why do they have such a hard time understanding this? Is it because they only believe in things they can see for themselves?

How daft is that?

God must be the greatest scientist EVER because he figured out a way to exist with out having a creator and how to exist since the beginning of time and he figured out a way to have special powers (that he has NEVER been without)

Is he the greatest scientist ever?

If he had to rebel to become Satan, would God forgive him if he repented. What would become of humans, since our lives seem to revolve around this "who's with God" & "who's with Satan" chaos.

In my last question I asked you to prove thast you are what YOU claim to be, I referred to Christ's memory, as in he's deceased, why would you question my christian nature? Does my avatar look christian to you? I could never be that big of a hypocrite, I follow a religion I can actually believe in and agree with

They're already plotting to win him over to their side! C'mon - things are bad enough for us on R&S. Show a little competitive spirit,willya? It's all just a question of who converts him first.

How is a person to be a Christian in this circumstance
(1 John 2:15-17) 15 Do not be loving either the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 16 because everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. 17 Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.
(James 4:4) 4 Adulteresses, do YOU not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.

(1 Corinthians 5:9-10) 9 In my letter I wrote YOU to quit mixing in company with fornicators, 10 not [meaning] entirely with the fornicators of this world or the greedy persons and extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, YOU would actually have to get out of the world.

God teaches me respect others. He created you, just as He created me. Why is it, when I try to ask a question, I am accused of prejudice? The only way for us to understand each other is for each of us to listen, and understand the reason for each others feelings, ideas, and opinions.

Rather, it seems the age of being able to carry on a conversation with others about a topic with differing opinions has become the days of accusation. Where the un-popular belief must be silenced. Please remember and respect the fact that at the founding of this country, and up to today, persons of my belief have found so that you can have those differing opinions. Please, do not be offended in my belief of the Almighty. It was because of such belief that I want to know and understand more.

In Exodus 9 and 10, why does God keep hardening Pharoah's heart? He's taking away Pharoah's free will! Why did God not allow Pharoah to let the Israelites go?

This is enough already, I am sick of the arguments about God. God is making this world worse, and he is dividing people up.
He is not helping this world, he is hurting this world.

God needs to grow up and show us that he exist, otherwise I will take my life and see for myself. Enough is enough.

I will end my life, so I will see him.

There are those that are nominal Christians and there are those that actually live as "little Christs" (hence the word: "Christian"). Did you decide to become an Atheist because of a Christian who said one thing and did another?

When they did, than why didn't Jesus come back, why didn't the world come to an end like they wanted.


are they still trying to do it, by claiming that they need to dystroy the Muslim holy mosque(Dome of the rock), in order to bring the end of the world.

They believe the arc of the covenient is under there.

Sorry for any errors.

Thanks!!!

My name is Austin Zamora and this is what I can thank God for. At the age of 7, during Spring Revival at Milligan Ridge Baptist Church I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior or so I thought. That night for some reason I paid the closest attention I ever had before. Come Invitation, I done what I thought I was doing. I even followed in Baptism. My parents would soon drop out of church and me being the young age follwed. I did not attend church. Around 4 years later my grandfather passed on. He loved the Lord with all of his heart. And I knew I didnt. The night before my grandfather's funeral, I realized I was on the path to never see my grandpa again. That night I really came to know and love Jesus as my Lord ans Savior. At his funeral I knew not to fear for I would see him again. I did not make this public until I joined a local church. My parents have yet to join the church and come to know the WONDERFUL Lord, but I am not giving up. I want all my family to know our Lord. I can thank

Yeah the one from the Bible. It seems Christianity is based almost as much on the vision of Paul as the teachings of Jesus. Now I've heard a mixed bag on this man, but the fact is he played a huge part in shaping Christianity as we know it today.

I'm not looking for his biography, more if you think his teachings are parallel with those of Jesus, or if he's a nutbag, or somewhere in between.

In reading from Acts 15:1-29, you don't see them turning to Scripture to resolve a dispute, they turn to the Apostles and Elders - in otherwords, those given the authority by Christ.

1: But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."
2: And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.
6: The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.
7: And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
28: For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

Why is this?

Earth, well humans for that matter, are such an insignificant part of this universe.

If there are planets that are billions of light years away and it would take us millions and billions of years to travel to them or even be able to see them .... why did god create them?


We are nothing. We are statistically nonexistant. If the universe were a number we would have been rounded off a long time ago.

This solar system, in turn, exists in a much larger galaxy made up of about 100 billion or 10^11 other star systems. To put that in perspective, finding the sun in our galaxy is about as easy as finding a specific grain of sand in all of California's coastline.

The people who followed the belief that a god existed did not know how insignificant they really were. They thought we were the center of the universe. Now we know this is not the case. We are so insignificant it's laughable.

So if god does exist, what is the purpose for this infinite amount of space? ....

The idea behind atheism is a belief that God doesn't exist. To denounce means that you accuse or condemn. Why are so many following a movement to accuse and condemn blindly what they say they don't believe exists?

I believe it is the work of someone who is trying to trick unsuspecting persons into the unforgiveable sin, by making it the cool thing to do, thus condemning themselves.
