Please tell me what this verse means?

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

When are religious folk going stop blaming all the ills of the world on a fictitious figure, stop hiding behind the skirt of another fictitious figure and stand up and take responsibilities for there own actions.

If he's existed for ever and made everything. What did he do before he made everything? Humans in the scheme of things are very recent.

Does it say anything about this anywhere?

If you missed the first one, feel free to look it up on my asked qustions list!
Ok....for the most part it seems that people think faith can be all the things I mentioned and more..that it is a complex thing and not cut and dry. I did notice alot of people beleive you need to feel faith for it to be effective in your life.
Here is my question...(mainly for Christains and other Deists)
Is it possible to set "God" aside for one week, and have faith in yourself?..Is it possible to get the exact same results you would get praying to your "god"(or goddesses) that you would get if you prayed to your self.
Would you ever accept that challange? Or would you stay thinking about and having faith in someone else?..
What would scare you the most about accepting the challange to have faith in yourself and still live your life as you are now?

"I confess that I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict the Scripture. If a man wishes to marry more than one wife he should be asked whether he is satisfied in his conscience that he may do so in accordance with the word of God. In such a case the civil authority has nothing to do in the matter." (De Wette II, 459, ibid., pp. 329-330.)

The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all
purport to share one fundamental concept: belief in God as the Supreme
Being, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Known as "tawhid" in
Islam, this concept of the Oneness of God was stressed by Moses in a
Biblical passage known as the "Shema," or the Jewish creed of faith:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4)

It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus
when he said: "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the
Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)

«"Muhammad came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again: "And your God is One God: There is no God but He, ..."» (The Qur'an 2:163)

Christianity has digressed from the concept of the Oneness of God,
however, into a vague and mysterious doctrine that was formulated during the fourth century.

Just about EVERY atheist said that they had NO desire to “save” what they call poor, deluded, un-evolved, uneducated, and/or brainwashed Christians from their false beliefs and fears.

Isn’t this profoundly unloving, heartless, and callous?

Hello all! I pray that you are all doing well today.
I would like to share with you one example of how God turns our bad situation into good. God never intends for us to go through hard times alone. When we have Him in our lives and we glorify Him through every thing that we go through, sometimes what we see is that what we thought was a bad situation, turns into the greatest blessing.
One thing that really made this hit home for me was right before my son started school this year. My vehicle broke completely down with no hope of getting fixed. I was so angry and upset, I really didn't act very Christ-like, I through a temper tantrum when my husband told me that it would just cost too much to fix. So I decided that I would have to deal with it and I would have to get up every morning and walk my son to school. This has turned out to be the greatest blessing imaginable. Spending this extra time with my child has brought us closer than I could have ever hoped for.

Lets say that you were part of a group of people who were in attendence at a prayer gathering who were praying for certain issues, all prayers being done in the name of JESUS CHRIST. Furthermore, lets say that you and your group were kidnapped by a group of god hating extremists who demanded that you renounce JESUS CHRIST as nothing more than a fraud, and you must do this live on the internet. They informed you that you would be released to safety if you complied. But they also told you that if you refused they would kill you, live via the internet. What would you do Christians?

The story of God coming to the earth as the man Jesus and dieing for our sin? Does he teach that we need Jesus and that the Holy Spirit is our strength for obedience to God?

...had her minions surreptitiously baptize non christians on their death beds without their approval? Under the guise of cooling their brows, the sisters would ask the ailing "Would you like a ticket to heaven?" and would then baptize anyone who answered in the affirmative with no regard to their respective religious belief (or lack thereof).

Seeing that the circumstances under which that beloved hymn was composed (google "John Newton") was an adult conversion to faith, by grace ...

... and that we believe "all [from God] is grace", as St. Therese of Lisieux wrote ...

... and that we also believe we're justified by grace?

Otherwise, wouldn't we be singing "Amazing Works"?

(I'm on a "hymn" theme today, I guess)
