If God does not exist, one can lose nothing by believing in him. If God does exist however, one can lose everything by not believing in him.

So which is it Christians? If there is any shred of evidence that Jesus actually lived, then you aren't taking it on faith.

But that is not something you need to worry about, since not a single historian who lived at the time of Christ mentions him. Even the new testament was written after he supposedly lived.

Seriously, why does homosexuality exist if it's against God? I'm not homosexual or bisexual myself, but I don't see anything against it in this day and age. Maybe two thousand years ago when the human population of the Earth was still fairly small and homosexuality was a real threat to survival, but these days, it's not that big a deal. And if God's method of doing something against him is by using the powers of a priest, then he can't be all powerful because he can't do it himself. (I think I should point out that homosexuality exists in other animals, too)

I looked up in the sky today and saw a bunch of white soggy things hanging there. Does this mean THE LORD is coming?

Does the fact that so many of our goods are made overseas in factories that don't treat or pay their workers well affect what you purchase?

Do you call GOD fair if He:
(i) give the same blessings to both sinners and believers, or
(ii) give the blessings only for the believers?

When you look at the worst people in the world today and historically, you will almost always find a self righteous person.

Religion is almost always the culprit, although there are exceptions. The reason why religion manufactures self righteous automitons is because religions advocate a particular brand of morality, and to do this successfully, you must also assert that all other moral codes are bad/false.

Being self righteous is saying "my religion is the ONLY acceptable way of life and moral code, therefore discussion, compromise, or diplomacy is and affront to God who has already stated what the right code is. Either you conform to my view or ..."

You can say carbon 14 is flawed, but there are over 200 methods of radio metric dating that all say the same thing. How do you explain that news like this is consistently reported in world wide media?

Well there alot of religions that have gods and I wonder why the Christian god doesn't have a name. Like the Muslim god is Allah. So if people say 'God' they could mean another god. If there is a name for God, then what is it and why don't people call him by that.

We all know by now that the earth orbits around the sun, therefore it is not a stationary object, but in the bible it is mentioned otherwise. In many verses in the bible, the earth is mention as a stationary object that doesn't move. If you have read the bible you will know, and it's pretty clear. If the bible is the truth, then why does it contradict with obvious facts?? As a personal opinion, the author of the bible wasn't aware of the fact that the earth was a moving object at the time he wrote it ( if you have no knowledge about the solar system you would have no way of telling that the earth was a moving object, and obviously the author had no clue, the only one that had a clue, Galileo, got in to deed **** for revealing the truth, poor guy). And what about "the four corners of the earth", which is also mentioned in the bible?? Ligitimate answers please.

The Holy Bible gives the cause of this cancer and blight: " Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. Romans 1:22-27

...then why not come to church and find out for yourself? There are friendly Christian congregations almost everywhere!

Church is about worshipping God, not judging other people. No one is perfect, so no one is "better" than anyone else. But by God's awesome love and Jesus' resurrection, anyone can be forgiven and healed.

A church fellowship is also about building strong communities, connecting with neighbors, and making new friends. In addition to regular Saturday or Sunday worship and children's programs, most churches offer extra worship services, Bible-study groups, community service, volunteer opportunities, outreach programs, coffee-and-chat groups, and other activities throughout the week.

Think church isn't for you? Remember, to gain the real treasures--peace, joy, freedom, happiness, fulfillment, and eternal life--we must go where they can be found, and seek them patiently and persistently.

Won't you join us in worship this week?
