Religion & Spirituality - 30 June 2007

I read this list on a trip to a ghastly town Joseph OR. I wondered since most american christians dont fully understand Christs message why they dont at least follow these 10 rules? The rule about killing is at point here and I didnt read a self defense clause.

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7 15-20

I was thinking (is not very usual)Jesus creates all things cause he is God, and the last creation was humans then the Hell was created before Adam, then he creates a place to torture people before they sin, and he knew that they will sin, so he decided to create before the creation of humans a horrible place to torture us, he put all the fire 100,000 degrees and the brimstone also wow!!

according to the bible Satan rebels in the garden of Edem (after the creation of hell) read Ezekiel 28:11 and you will see he was as a guardian in Edem and the he becomes evil only 6000 years ago after the creation fo Adam and Eve and of course hell.
It is incredible but that is what christianity are spreading and we even realize that we are doing it!!!! all this crap that I already say it is exactly what christianity has been teaching as a God of love, it is no strange that Jesus will reject the majority of us (Christians) according to Matthew 7:21-23 and also why atheist think we are stupids.

to represent him?


Doesn't it seem suspicious to you that Paul could not sell his story to those who walked with Jesus? Paul had to sell his story to people who never heard any of Jesus' sermons?

Why? Cause people who knew Jesus, knew Paul was a fraud.

Didn't Jesus have any other loving followers? Why would Jesus select a Sandhedrin (in a private showing)?

Did Jesus not appear to disciples all together, why didn't Jesus tell them that he had completely changed his mission to Earth?

If you were brainwashing someone, would you say "lean not on your own understanding". --- Don't try to understand just do what I say, said Paul.

5 By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,
O God of our salvation,
Psalm 65:5

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but[b] have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:15-17

I ask this question here (in R & S) only because everyone I know is here.....I realize that it really isn't a religious question....sorry about that.

Thanks

They like to sugar coat it and say that they will become perfect like Christ, but the truth is they think they will become a god.

It happens all the time here, "christians only please" or "muslims only please".

If they want to address questions to those groups alone, shouldn't they chose a more specialised forum?

What is that feeling of perfection you feel inside? Can you describe it in words?

[14] For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Our forgiveness of anothers sin against us is a type of remission of sins. Yet no blood is required.

Why? in light of hbr 9:22

Of course there are non-reasonable people from all schools of thought.

I am curious and would like your thoughts on my question. I have noticed here on Y/A and other forums that the atheistic view of Christians are of a people who lack intelligence...who lack the basic understanding of science.

fair enough?

My question is this: Is it also the belief within the atheistic community that the evidence is so overwhelming that the clearly intelligent Christians are aware of this "overwhelming evidence" and simply ignore truth?

People such as: Martin Luther King (Noble Prize Winner/Civil rights), Isaac Newton, inventor of calcules & principles of gravity & movement, Robert MCCheyne, George Witfield, Tony Dungy (NFL coach) John Newton...the list is endless as I'm sure you would agree.

So are these scientist, politicans, coaches, civil rights leaders etc...are they ignorant or simply "playing along"?

Or is it possible for intelligent people to have two view points respectfully

FIrst of all, have you ever contested a violation and what was the outcome?
I just received my second violation, and wondered if it is worth contesting.

Both times it has been within about 30 seconds of posting a question. Both times they were serious questions about atheism (most recently I wanted to "capture an atheist" and communicate via email.) Any suggestions? How can I get an atheist to talk to me privately? I posted my email address along with my question, and that's probably why I got dinged....but I only want to hear from atheists who are willing to chat via e-mail and *NOT for conversion purposes*. I truly want to understand. How can I do this?
