Religion & Spirituality - 3 June 2007

I'm utterly amazed at how few people caught on to the fact that I was JOKING in the "question for dumb atheists" post. I was even accused of being a multiple belief troll. Give me a break. I was certainly expecting to piss people off, but I wasn't expecting to piss off the atheist camp, who I imagined would get a good chuckle out of the whole thing.

And to anyone who felt that my tongue-in-cheek "argument" in that post was even mildly coherent or persuasive, all I can say is, "wow".

I was a really strong christian before and now I have no faith at all. A prophet in my school dreamed that I died spiritually. I set four conditions, Lord if it is your will to save me let a,b,c,d happen and I wrote down the probability of each event happening. All of these conditions have been fulfilled.

Instead of sitting them on the lap of a pagan saint who dresses in all red and flys around the world to tempt their children away from the TRUE message of Christ's birth--wouldn't it be wiser to just replace satan--I mean SANTA--with Jesus? Why wouldn't they do that?


could it be because children outgrow believing in Santa?

What can I do?

How about I give everyone a thumbs up?!

David wrote in the Bible:

"The Heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech;night after night they display knowlege"--------Psalm 19:1,2.

The Apostle Paul wrote:

" For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature----have been clearky seen being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse"-----------(Romans 1:19-20).

Bible believers do not say God came from nothing. According to the Bible, there was never a time before God, when there was nothing. (psalm 90:2). God always existed. We have no reason to believe that the Universe always existed(Nothing comes from nothing)"Every effect must have a cause". The Universe cannot explain itself. It has no reason for being in itself. God declares himself as "I AM" in the Bible. God is a self-existing entity. He lives eternally, depending on nothing outside of himself. God is-"I AM". Gen. 1:1

One of my friends asked me if Christians can get tattoos.
I have always been told no that it is unchristian, but I have never been told why. I am asking these question for my friend hopefully you guys can give her the answers .

1 .Can Christians get tattoos?
2. (if not) Why is it unchristian to get a tattoo?
3. Can a Christian get a tattoo if it is something symbolic of there faith. (like a cross or a rosary or something like that)
4. Why do other religions have spiritual tattoos but not Christians ? (yes I know weird question)

If she thinks of any more I will asked them for her latter.
Please do not flame me over this, I am just trying to find some answers. Please answer respectfully thank you.

or do you just skip to other verses./..

Genesis 6:1-3. it talks about sex. and the reason God left us, because he is not part of the creation of man and woman. We create in the flesh. Verse 2 talks about God not being part of creation of life. and they took them wives of all which THEY chose.
So God did not chose anyones wife not anyone here in this time ethier, even his own mother Mary was not given by Gods hand. So no one is created Godly, but are created sinfuly or lustfuly.
Verse 3, talks about God leaving us because we are the product of flesh.

1 John 2 15,16. 15. Love not the world, neither the things THAT are in the WORLD. IF an man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16. For all that is in the world the lust of the FLESH, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
so we are suppose to love her in heaven
So I say the father in heaven is not part of creation, but the devil who is god of this world is.

Okay, when l was little l put a tooth under my pillow. When I woke up, the tooth was replaced by a dollar.

So therefore, the tooth fairy must be real.

Thoughts? Opinions? Chocolate?

(The point of this arguement was to prove personal testimonials of Gods are not logical or good sources of proof)

How would you feel if they came to your door at least once a week threatening you with a damned afterlife if you did not switch religions?

What if they told you that your beliefs were false?

Would you be understanding that they were just trying to help you find the "True belief"?

you all sit around fighting about God, if he is real or not, yes I can understand curiosity. But when I post something about praying for our soldiers you call me weird? No I am not weird, I have a heart! where is yours? or maybe you dont care if God watches over the people trying to save your freedom, you could care less if thousands more die for you, your not out there, so who cares, right?

Moses said his law was a "great" terror-ist: Dt 34:12
JC said of himself: a "greater" ... is here: Mt 12:41,42
Paul said the "greatest" of 3 never faileth: 1Cor 13:13
Eternal salvation is through Jesus->Christ->God-ward.
So it seems to reason God is greatest of three things.
Why do so many call God great, or are they talking of Law?
Plato: no ordianance or law is mightier than understanding
