I see this a lot on here. The catholic church claims they have an unbroken line of popes. However as I have studied this it seems not to be the case. For instance for nearly 1000 years there was a pope Donus II. Until it was discovered he did not exist. Then there is Pope Formosus who was declared a heretic after his death. This does not even take into account the so-called anti-popes. So my question is how is this an unbroken line?

Many people wil answer this question with disdain, saying that it is obvious, but is it? What if the whole bible is symbolic?

i was doing some research about science \ because my gf is always questioning my beliefs and i found some funny things.

skeptics say that its absurd that God spoke the universe in2 being because nothing can be created out of nothing but yet most of those same people believe that the universe just happened(the big bang theory,etc...)
also some scientist spend their life trying to create life in laboratories so they can prove that no intelligent being created the fist life.

any1 else think this is funny?any1 think that its funny that people say the bible contradicts itself and they have no proof that it does(taking it out of context does not count) and yet their precious scienties contradict themself and i can prove it?

atoms and the science behind them don't just appear out of nowhere...the unexplained has an intential force behind it from a superior being

A computer is created and most don't know how it works, but have the knowledge it is a form of science behind which a being with free will created...does the same not apply to the creation of science and the universe??? I.E. God

Why would people go unpunished and life serve no purpose? Answer this atheists

Supposedly Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross to save humanity and open the gates of heaven to us. But if God is omnipotent, why did he have to go through all of that? Couldn't he just have snapped his fingers and open the gates of heaven instantly?

And why were the "gates of heaven" ever closed in the first place? Why couldn't they have just always been open?

And, then someone tells you it's their way or else you are doomed to go to Hell .... or you are doomed to everlasting ignorance if you believe in God?

God spoke with me last night and said it just like this. "YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE": See there, why must you require any more evidence as to my assigned role of God's annoited instrument upon Earth?

I have heard the above argument from people and here is my response:

He DOES give us evidence. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit you are filled with a feeling that is so strong that you cannot deny it. This feeling is from God.

God is on a whole other plain than us. He does not communicate in the same way we do. We cannot even begin to comprehend Him entirely now, nor could we ever hope to.

But the feeling that you get in your heart let's you know this isn't just something that is coming from within. The feeling is indescribable.

Imagine if you met someone that had never had salt before and you had to describe to them what it tasted like. You could say it's not sweet. It's not bitter, but this is what it doesn't taste like. Try telling someone what it IS.

It is not always easy to feel the spirit, because Satan tempts us, but we must keep the faith and be strong.

Agree?

Exactly where in the fossil record is the evidence for progressive evolution (I've seen it stated a number of times on here that there is evidence), of actual transitional forms between major groups?

2007-09-12 15:45:45 · 14 answers · asked by BERT 6

other religions?
for example countries like Turkey, Iran, some African nations.
Also the president of Iran wants to kill all Jewish people and Americans because they don't worship the God of Islam. ANd they are different gods. the God of the Bible and or Torah is NOT the God of Islam.

Christians have the Bible and the Ten Commandments. I'm just curious about where pagan doctrine comes from.

Let's open this up for discussion, and tell how our morals and values change the way we get by.

NOTE: No poop-slinging or abusing other people for what they share! This is meant to be a good place for people to share how they're affected by their religion, because it's a part of our identity and it contributes greatly to our personal development and our perception of right/wrong.

So spill, I want to know :-)

And when the question is drawing to a close, I'll share on how I feel my faith affects my actions.

Lastly - Thanks in advance for your input, it's all really appreciated!

Peace :-)

It's got to incense the one whom John the Baptist said was the Savior of all mankind

To see all religions claiming this way and that way, instead of just the simple message:

Justification for everyone has come for all mankind.

Don't ya see what you have to repent of in order to find rest?

It's your belief that YOUR faith is saving you.

It's God's faithfullness that has saved all mankind at the cross.

Salvation has come to all mankind.

Yeah, but but but, then we don't have to do anything?

That was the point.

Why do I hear the term finite minds so often. What does that even mean. Here is what I find especially ironic. Christians get so mad when someone calls them stupid, but then they announce to everyone that they are stupid by arguing that only God is smart.

Is your way the "only" way to San Jose?

If yes, are you quoting Jesus in the right verb tense?

or, Are you simply quoting some early church leader who claimed he saw a hologram, and that hologram told him that Jesus wasted 3 years telling us how to get to San Jose?

I was told 3 but I think there is a more scientific way of explaining the 3 theory.

This is a question for which there is no "correct" answer. It is not a challenge, and I don't think anyone here is going to try and keep track of your responses, but in the interest of mutual understanding, I want to ask one question of you:

What event or experience in your life drove you to (and continues to animate your devotion to) atheism?

Though there is no "right" answer, I'm going to go out on a limb and say there is what I'd consider to be a "wrong" one: if you respond that it was purely a matter of rational inference, I shall declare you a liar, a coward, or perhaps just too suspicious to answer honestly. I'm talking about the existential or "human" element which made your atheism more than just an abstract idea...what is it that made it personal... what is it that continues to make it a thing worthy of your emotional investment?
