According to the Bible, we christians have to live a life that is pure and be role model for the unbelievers. People call themselves christians but you really see the qualities in those people. So we must be a model by how we talk, how we dress, and how we live our lives.

I am just curious as to how you can put all your faith in a God you cannot see. I am not trying to be rude at all so please dont take offense to the question. I used to love God, but over the last few months I have not been able to keep my love and faith in him as I feel I have nothing to base it on. I have not see or felt his presence and there are so many bad things in this world. why would a God create sinners and force the people he should love to endure pain and suffering? I just dont understand it.

Psalms 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
John 10: 34
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Rom. 8: 17
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

someone on R&S thinks this means he can become a God. how are we, as Christians, to interpret this scripture?

I have been a devout Christian all my life.My mother raised me that way, and she was raised that way. Well, recently my mother has discovered some things that she has shared with me, such as there is historical evidence that Jesus never existed, and that the Trinity was taken from Egyptian beliefs, as well as the nativity idea, and many others. If Jesus did exist, then why isn't there ANY physical evidence that he did? These are questions that have always plagued me. What about all the many contradictions that the Bible contains? I believe in God, and there is no way that I will EVER stop believing in Him, but I am curious as to if anyone else has heard these claims. Is Christianity possibly the biggest hoax in human history? Please share your perspectives and findings..serious opinions only please.

When all of the following scripture can be interpreted to mean that we can become Gods

Psalms 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
John 10: 34
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Rom. 8: 17
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

acording to dictionary .com hear are a couple of definations of what an heir is.
a person who inherits or is entitled to inherit the rank, title, position, etc., of another.
a person or group considered as inheriting the tradition, talent, etc., of a predecessor.
As an heir to Christ I can be a god

Hi Everyone!!!
I am trying to choose what my confirmation name will be and I would like it to be an athlete since I am an athlete. The only one I could find though was Sebastion and that wouldn't work seeing I'm a girl. I also couldn't find any other feminine versions of Sevastion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I was thinking today that Americans tend to have the attitude that they want to help the less fortunate as long as it doesn't cause them any sort of discomfort. That's why people will just send money to a charity instead of volunteering or doing something constructive. (Which is why a large percentage of the money that charities take in ends up going towards useless things like marketing and corporate perks like luncheons and golf outings.)
That being said, I'm not perfect myself. (I know if I don't say something about myself, someone will say 'well, what are you doing?'blah blah blah) I'm not about to give you my biography, but I do my part to help people, though I could do more.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make was this - isn't the prevailing attitude in America self-indulgence? (And religious people, PLEASE don't try and act like you have the moral high ground. People of all types in this country have this same attitude.)

Or maybe I'm wrong and Paris Hilton is a goddess.

NO! Well the assumption is that they are! However Arabs were either non existent in the middle East (outside the arabian peninsula) or were small migrant minorities, until the coming of islam and the arab conquest in 7th Century AD. And from this point there was no real conversions to christianity, therefor christians extant in the mid east today, are pre arab in origin, even if they speak arabic(after all nearly all scots speak english, but theyre still scots). As an Assyrian(descended from Ancient Assyrians & Babylonians, and speaking Aramaic), im tired of being labelled an arab by the media, and i know many Egyptian Copts(descended from ancient egypt), Syriacs from Syria(descended from Arameans) and Maronites(descended from Phoenicians/canaanites) from Lebanon who are also! Why does the western media assume mid eastern christians are arabs??

Some have said that education will stop terrorism, yet the recent terrorists in Britain are highly educated successfull doctors. These terrorists are highly educated in what the Quran teaches to kill the infidels and to establish Sharia law in the world. It seems the only education that will work against these terrorists is for us to appease them by submitting to their desires. Is this what those who claim education is the answer are saying or is there another way of ending terrorism through education?
