Religion & Spirituality - 27 August 2007

After you’ve read through this, I guarantee that you’re eyes will be opened in such a way you’ve never imagined. It might seem long, but once you’ve gotten into it, you’ll be done before you even realize it! You do not want to skip a line, trust me!

We here assume that everything the Bible says is true.

Given: If man doesn’t accept Jesus as his Savior, he will not be saved.

Question: Does God deliberately create people that He intentionally does not save? Thus, does God predestine the faith of man, or does He merely foresee the future and ultimately leave the choice upon man’s shoulder?

One must ask, in what way does God expect man to believe in Him? Generally speaking, the only reference we have to His existence is the “Bible”. So it is safe to say that God wants man to believe in Him through uncertainty or what Christians call “faith”.

What would such a supreme and powerful being have to gain from our worship, obedience and love? Why would he care if we even believed in him at all?

you cant belive in god and not belive theres life elsewhere aswell .. why would god make us alone in the universe? he created the entire thing .. and you cant belive in evolution with out god either.because he would have only planted the seeds, to spawn life.

I don't understand how the the ideas can be compatible. If you think they are compatible, why do you think so?

It seems that many Christians are so fascinated with blood and death that it is all they think about when it comes to Jesus. Have Christians actually missed the point. Jesus said to love one another, yet I see so many Christians behaving in a bigoted way. So, are his instructions the key to salvation instead of his death?

Do you find them humorous or do you think they trivialize God even more than He is in our culture today? Or a mix of the two?

Are you more comfortable in a mega church, average (50-200), or smallish church (50 people)? And why?

The last question i asked was about the Bible's authenticity. Some people who replied to it advocated that it was a historical record from beginning to end...but there is no evidence to back up each of the events except for a few famous ones.

Are people really that lazy or stupid to seek for truth? I think there is a lot more truth in Orthodox Jewish beliefs or psychic realm in a sense that they have not too many discrepancies with history and observed phenomena.

Seeker of truth,

This is where i was trying to get at in my previous posts, I didn't know that i was blessing others by my walk and it supprised me when they told me that they see my light, i didn't know that i was doing someone else good. I told people this publically because i was trying to give an example showing that if we walk in the ways of Christ, people are looking at us and most of the time we don't know that they are, so i was encouraging others to do the will of God and keep the faith, in the midst of that, you might be blessing someone else. Trying to encourage someone is not boasting. If i told someone that they need to be more like me, that would be boasting. But thats not what i was saying. If we walk in the ways of Christ, then others could be blessed, so we have to encourage others to have the mind that Christ had.

Just curious and would be most agreeable to any other party favorites that could be suggested to liven up a religous social event?

Christians who try to convert others often operate on the notion that if a person is not a Christian then they must not have heard about the faith and so thus should be told all about it whether they would want to hear it or not.Why this prideful arrogance toward non Christians?Why these assumptions about what non Christians know or don't know about Christianity?

Wouldn't an all-knowing God already know the content of your thoughts and feelings?
Wouldn't God already know that you love and appreciate him?
Wouldn't God already know what you want?

If God is all knowing, doesn't that make prayer sort of redundant?

I have been lost in my searching and searching for a way to help you and all of us and as I type this tears poor from my eyes to soak my keyboard because it has taken me so long to work this out but surely these are things you will want to learn and then tell our daughters. Tell All our most precious little children that give us love so that we might adore them.

The greatest pain I ever felt was to know that you were raped. Knowing this tried to destroy my soul then as it does now. So I knew long ago that I must work this one out. How to put this? hmmm I have tried wording it a few ways but in truth I just have to tell you so you can begin protecting yourself.
