"Out of one hundred men, one will read the Bible, and nintey-nine will read the Christian"
D.L. Moody

I believe this statement to be true in my opinion. What it boils down to is I think we as Christians can try and quote Scripture after Scripture, but if we don't walk the talk, it is no use. But I just want some non-Christians' opinions.

When thinking about Christianity, will you look at the Christians more than the Bible?

Is for their amusement, for their desire to antagonize, and for their desire to promote the Satan born doctrine of the Non-Existence of a creator?
If then this is their commited and self proclaimed reasom for being here, does it not follow logically, to remove the kindling from their fire, by refusing to conitue any interaction with them?
As it stands, there is absolutely no chance they will surrender their faith in the inherently flawed theories of mankinds so called science. So why not take away the fuel for their argumants?
If all those of faith (no matter whether eastern, ot western based religions) refused to continue a dialog with these religious "infidels" then perhaps we could devote all of our energies towards truly helping others rather than drainging our energies, attempting to defend our faith to those who have absolutely no interest in anything other than undermining it.

But did you know that positive thought are the really reason why people are cure. It is known that our mind control our body. Our bodies contain neuron messenger wire like structure that send message to our brain. For example, if we burn our hand this neuron send an electrical impulse to our brain and our brain send message to our sensor neuron; and we feel pain.

It is known 90% of a disease is in our head. If we believe that we have a disease we will have it. I admit sometime you will have certain disease without your knowledge; but you still have the ability to cure yourself. All you have to do is have positive thought and affirmation that you are cure.

So, you can believe the computer that your type in on is a god and that he can cure you. If you truly believe it you can be cure.

If I open your brand new car, sit behind the steering wheel, and ask you for the keys...and you ask me why I need your car, and my answer is 'God needs it', would you give me the car?

If it would work, I'd call it "sneaky theft". But that's probably just me.

I'm wondering, because it's basically the same thing as how Jesus got a donkey for free.

I mean, the Bible quite emphatically states that God and Jesus (ignore the Holy Spirit, as I think everyone agrees that is just God's "will") are two different beings. The Bible does NOT say they are one and the same, as a matter of fact when Jesus is bapitized God says "This is my SON, the beloved, whom I have approved" Matthew 3:17. A son cannot be the same as the father. Also, look at 1st Corinthians 11:3 "But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God". If the head of woman is man (another dumb prospect, but that's for another question) and the head of man is Christ, don't those two examples show a hierarchy of power? Therefore, if the head of Christ is God, God is HIGHER, not the same, as Christ. Those two quotes are NOT summaries or paraphrases. They are direct quotes from the Bible. I'm not questioning or attacking anyone's faith. But how do you BIBLICALLY justify the Trinity?

You might have a good life, you are not in any pain, and you are happy generally speaking. I am forever grateful to God and I rejoice with you. However, Jesus did say "come to me all you thirsty, wounded, and broken..." I guess you are not thirsty, so you don't need Jesus. But that's what you'd say. In reality, you need Jesus, and you need God. Without God you wouldn't even be alive right now. It is God who provides rain on both who love Him and who deny Him. It is God who gave you life as a gift, and who provides to you. There is nothing that you have that was not given to you. Every moment you live is a gift of God. You need Jesus because only through Jesus can you come to God. Without Jesus we are unworthy to even mention God's name for we all fell short and are unworthy of His glory. But through the blood of Christ we are covered and forgiven and con boldly come before God. He is our Father, loving and merciful. Look at the world we're living in, can't you see the time is near?

I mean, some of the questions you guys ask seem to be asked just to get us going. I look at them and just ask myself, "do you really want an honest answer to that?"

How many questions do you ask tongue-in-cheek, but it really ticks us off?

I admit it, I get fired up pretty easily.

Also, if someone asks me a question and I'm absolutely sure that the answer I'm giving is correct, and it turns out that the answer ISN'T correct, have I committed a sin?

Also, if my husband wants to do charity work on the Sabbath, like... a soup kitchen, or Habitat for Humanity... will he be committing a sin?

Also, if a police officer tries to pull a person out of a burning car and accidentally cuts them on a shard of glass which results in that persons death, has that police officer committed a sin?

The last time I really prayed was when I was 27. My sister phoned and asked me to pray that her son would find his retainer. The same day, there was a horrible earthquake, in Turkey I believe. Something like 1,000 died.

I felt horrible praying about a missing retainer, with all those dead, so...i prayed for each person who died first, and then I'd pray for the retainer.

I prayed sincerely, "God, the very first person that died? You know their name...please comfort their family. Fill them with peace. If they need financial assistance, please provide..."

I got up to the 300s before I gave up. It was really like wee hours of the morning then. I just sort of...realized how silly it was. Like shouting into a tin can and hoping it was a phone.

How about you?

Why should we be tolerant of people who do not have morals or standards?

"Those who hold tolerance as their highest virtue do so because they have no others."

Basically evangelicals argue that life is to complex to happen by accident. Why does evolution have to be an accident? Maybe God created evolution as a tool for making life. To say that evolution cannot be is to call God a simpleton. I mean, let me try and give you an analogy. What would be harder to do, making a model airplane by hand, or engineering a machine to build the model airplane for you? Personally, I would think much more highly of God's intelligence if I found out he engineered something as complex as evolution. To just zap things in to place by hand is so much easier then designing something as complex as evolution to create life. But that’s just my opinion.

in John 17:14 (NIV Bible) when he prayed to the Father:

"...i have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world..."

verse 16: "They are not of the world, even as I am not of it."

What is this "world" that Jesus mentioned in his Prayer which Christians are not supposed to be a part of?

Jesus said: "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst....."

A large % of the population in Congo is Christian. The country also has world-wide one of the highest % of deaths caused by starvation.

Somehow those words of Jesus seem kinda arrogant to me, I don't know why...

Isn't an apology in order?

I've been told many times how my soul will burn in hell, forever. This implies that a soul has the ability to burn. Which implies that a soul needs oxygen, obviously. No fire without oxygen.

I can't fully understand this. I can see how my body needs oxygen, but why would my soul need it?

ok, I come from a mormon family (i'm not thank goodness) and I am in a mormon town, and everyone here has refused to answer why the mormons were persecuted. What did the mormons do to become hated? Anywho, I was just curious. Also, what is your opinion of the mormons. Personally I think they are way to self-centered and arrogant saying they have the only true church.

How would you respond to the statement below I found on a Christian forum site?

"Jesus tells us there is no other reason to divorce except your spouse cheating. I am an ex-abused spouse. I went through torture. But I have to admit now, that if I was truly trusting in the Lord during that time, He would have handled it for me.... EVEN if that meant my death. I think we humans often forget, when we die, we go to a better place... much much better than anything we know here and now."

I was with a guy for a year and a half. I was willing to give him everything, he wasnt a christian, and I am a strong one, but I loved him so much for that to get in the way. He broke up with me 6 months ago. We agreed to wait for eachotehr until uni is over, or if we did find sombody else, tell eachother. He has found somebody.... he didnt tell me... I found out which is why it hurts so much. Can you please give me advice, and/or passages from the Bible to help me. I know God will help me... but how do I let him? I feel so lost and alone.

G-d does not change. G-d does not lie. So why Christian brothers do you look on the Jews with such disdain?

G-d will surely raise them up again like he always has. They will be unblinded, and accept Jesus... to much celebration in the heavens.
