Was Paul proclaiming to them Jesus as the unknown God? Acts 17:23 says, "For as I passed by and beheld your devotion, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him I declare I unto you."

The bible says there is ONE GOD, not 3 Gods in 1 God.

You accuse them of being judgmental when all they are doing is giving you their view based on the bible. For instance, someone asks about going to hell. We give an answer based on what God states in the bible about who and who will not go to hell then you blame us for that answer when in fact it is merely what the bible says. That is not being judgemental. That is answering your question. Agree?

I don't know if you've been paying attention to my questions on religion or not.
Most folks out here, (not all) do not, will not, almost flatly refuse to let us believe what we want to believe.
For some reason, there is NO RESPECT for the other guy's or gal's beliefs.
And on a heads up folks, I am not christian. But I'll defend your right to believe in whatever your heart desires.
It's called "Freedom of Religion."
Welcome to the United States of America.

I argued in a previous question that my faith in science is justified. I gave a whole bunch of examples of how science has improved my life while God has done nothing to improve my life. Some guy said that God is not commended to give me anything that I want. Well here is my responce to that. Science is not commended to give me anything either. The difference between science and God is that science actually does give me what I want.

Peter baptize in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin when Jesus said in Mather 28:19 baptize all nations in the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit? Was Peter CONFUSED or did Peter know these titles refer to three offices, roles, or relationship to humanity & understood that Jesus was the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit?

into heaven. I have experienced multiple losses in the last few years, starting in 01 when my brother died suddenly in a motorcycle accident. I've been struggling with greif during this time. I've read some books that helped somewhat but the main thing that hangs over me like a cloud is my brother and I'm not sure where he is. The books never address this.There is guilt that I didn't talk to him enough about the plan of salvation and see where he was. My sister thinks he made it because they went to church together as children on a church bus. My dad was an atheist and my mom wasn't a Christian at that time. They are 9 & 11 years older than me. She is a Christian and goes to church. He didn't go to church and there are other reasons that I question if he was a Christian also. I welcome advice from anyone who has experienced a similar situation in helping to deal with this. Thank for your time. God bless

I am a gay Christian male. I have constantly been harassed by some Christians who judge me for my sexual orientation. They quote certain Biblical passages but seem to forget some of the most important words Jesus ever spoke.

Luke 6:31

"Do for other people everything you'd like them to do for you."

Luke 6:37-38

"Stop judging, and you will not be judged. Stop condemning, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and you will receive. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your pocket. The standards you use for others will be applied to you."

Also John 3:18-19

Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions. It is by our actions that we know we are living in the truth.

I was just woudering why would he ask you if he already knows? If he knows and you happen to know why would he ask you?

Oh yea, and I also want to ask what if you don't know why you sinned or what if you just sinned because you didn't know it was a sin and just wanted to do it?
What can you say to him if you was just doing a sin because you wanted to (not being mean to God if that's what your thinking)? What if you didn't know why what can you say to him? Is the questions called judgement day? What if you don't answer him what will happen? You can't go to Hell because you are saved and Jesus can't go there.
Is that walk you take to the "Light" (Heaven) a long walk. What if your legs just give out are you aloud to catch your beath then continu walking? (That's if it's a long walk).

My mom told me at an early age that God and Jesus wrote the Bible, she still believes that to this day. What is an estimated percentage of Christians that believe this or something similar? Jesus did not write the Bible and the writers of the New Testament came long after Jesus was dead. So why don't the followers of the religion understand this? Is it like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? Who wrote that book?Who follows the Snow White religion? Amazingly enough Jesus did not leave behind any tangible evidence of his existence. No records of his death by Pilate (even though Pilate kept records of every execution and they are still available today) No grave site (one could argue that Jesus was supposed to have rode a cloud to heavan, but I find it hard to believe someone can stand on a cloud) And finally all Roman writings of Jesus came after his death, the Most common of which is considered evidence came from Josephus at about 90 AD. Where are the Stone Tablets with 10 Commandments?

How do we know that these radiocarbon-dated (an inexact science) fossils are of ascendant species of humans, apes etc.? How do we know that these creatures were not just extinct species? Humans aren't infallible and in the past scientists have made glaring errors (claiming the Earth is flat!).

I know there is micro-evolution but can we really be sure about macro-evolution? Believing in it surely requires faith, something that many scientists campaign against?

Faith-belief that is NOT based on PROOF.

many religious people claim that the phrase "there is a god." is fact while many Atheists claim that the phrase "there is NO god" is fact. The truth is however that neither phrase is fact or even fact based but they are both FAITH based. While there is no evidence to back up the claim that there is a God there is also no evidence to back up the claim that there is NO God. And yes I know that it is near impossible to prove a negative but that does not change the fact that there is no evidence. And saying that proving something is the job of those who make the claim is moot as in the case "God or no God" both the religious and the Atheists are "makeing claims" as to whether or not God exists. If proving God's existence rests on the shoulders of those who claim he/she/it/them exists then proving God's non-existence rests on the shoulders of those who claim there is no God. And remember, lack of evidence does not equal lack of existence.

Would you say that Hollywood has no respect for morals and human life? Every other tv channel, movie, magazine and book has something about murder. They glorify it as much as sex.

Do they not have any morals?
