This statement is misleading because there is evidence.

It's called the Bible. Actually read it for once and pray and you will see the power of prayer and feel the Holy Spirit and you will know that it is true.

There is evidence.

In other words, would you consider the writings of the Saints as a source for Christian wisdom and theology?
So many protestants that I have known put a lot of faith in a particular contemporary preacher, but turn up their noses at the writings of Catholic and Orthodox saints.
It seems to me that these ancient writings have stood up to centuries of scrutiny by religious scholars. So why do so many discount them so easily?

A concept of a super deity that cannot be seen, measured, or categorized, only experienced on a deep and personal level cannot be proven, but since it cannot technically be disproven, the determination is not a positive yes or no. This is what is known as: Inconclusive. Therefor, the only stance that supports an inconclusive finding would be the logical choice, and that is Agnostic not Aethist.

In other words, were they created to be so very different especially in thought patterns or did this mental and emotional rift or schism happen after the sin?

Let's say you find a wife or you win the lottery or beat cancer. Any of those.

Now, you have found "faith" and believe in God, or maybe you already did.

My question is, when you thank God for those things or suggest he gave them to you, are you not indirectly implying God is being favourable? I mean, lots of people die from cancer, lots of people live in Poverty, and lot's of people do not find a nice girl (Probably -1% :) )

Isn't it wrong for a God to give wealth all to one person via a lottery? Isn't this playing "favourites?" Why do you thank God, what did he do? Didn't YOU do it?

What if you died and you saw your God and he said you have lived, your time is over you will now cease to be and you will never know you were?

Would you not be greatful you had a life at all?
Would you feel cheated, if it was the end?

i respect true christianity & give respect to christians. i truelly believe that our religions have alot in common & whether you want to except it or not theres not a muslim alive that does not love the prophet jesus thats in our holy quran, if muhammad & jesus were here on earth now would they argue like we do? would one tell the other he's going to hell? i think not. does not your teaching tell you to love your enemies(matt 5:43-44) but in all my responses i only heard that from a few. i speak the truth! it was christians that put blacks in slavery for 400 yrs not muslims, it was christians that bombed hiroshima not muslims & it is now a christian goverment & president that goes in every other country using military might in the name of jesus doing wrong to get there way & you wonder why the east does not like us. in all history you cannot say the muslim countries have don this to any other country unless provoked"i challenge you".no insults but maybe you need to check your history.

personally, I don't think a person who bad-mouths others is worth following, that's why I am really wondering why those Evangelists still have followers who take the Evangelist's words as Bible-truth.

has anyone ever noticed the same thing?

I've never thought of this but I heard somone state that they wanted as many Jews and non Jews cut so because during Nazi Germany, anyone without foreskin was sent to the camps. Would not have been the case if everyone else was circumcised.

Have you heard things like this? Know anyone who thinks this?

I recently met a friend I haven't seen in Years. I found out she has Huntingtons, a disease her Mother had. Violets Mother passed away a few years ago.
Violet is in her early 30's and her brother R.J who also has Huntingtons is a little older. It pains me to see two beautiful people such as they are, afflicted with this disease, I am praying that God will heal them both, Please help me with your prayers.
Thank You and God Bless.

Here was my previous question on God's intention with these creatures that are so similar in form and intellect to humans...

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApauKTGL.o_UD3Nrx5BBFR_d7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20071001142705AAzdpnc

I'll paraphrase some of the responses...

1) Neanderthals didn't have spirits, so they were only animals
2) They never existed
3) Neanderthals were all disabled humans
4) Some of the groups from Babel lived in caves until they got arthritis and diseased
5) Neanderthal skeletons are a hodge-podge of various animal's bones
6) Result of demonic experiments

Anybody else have some input?

I'm not really happy with the answers thus far... mainly because we know they existed and that they weren't human or a variation of human (I guess nobody bothered to read the two links I had).

Actually the first answer I paraphrased was the only real answer I got... even though it didn't answer my question: What was God's intention with them!

That way non-Christians can study it, and maybe find a cure for some diseases. And Christians can be cured by God. Everyone wins.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D."

"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

I keep hearing differing opinions from people especially with the trial of the false prophet Warren Jeffs. I DO know the LDS abandoned it in 1890 for Utah to become a state, correct? Need clarification please?
