Ok Christians, you say that you have tremendous faith and nothing will ever wither your trust in God.

What if I dare you to jump into a bunk of infested hungry tiger sharks.

You can pray to God and ask Him to protect you before you jump in.

Would you Christians whole heartedly trust in God and have faith that He would indeed protect you?

Try imagining yourself in the middle of those sharks; would you feel scared and unsecured eventhough you know God is protecting you?

Note that this is just a hypothetical situation so that you Christians would come to sense of what you actually feel.

So? Do you have enough faith? Would you really feel 100 percent secured without fear?

If you feel scared then you probably don't have as much faith as you claim.

If you say you don't feel scared you are lying and contradicting the TC's.

Think before answering.

You bunch of Hypocrits!

Will you whole heartedly have faith in God and trust God that He will indeed

* I just want to say I’m not talking about all Muslim parents, just some. * What role are Muslim parents suppose to play in their kid’s life? If Muslim parents don't teach their kids the correct Islam, and encourage them when they’re young to live according to Islam all the way, what fault do the kids have when they make a mistake in the future years? It's hard on teens (especially in the U.S and other non-Islamic countries) to live the correct Islamic way these days because the parent’s don’t teach or encourage the kids the correct way at a young age. I think some U.S Muslim teens see the American lifestyle and follow that instead of the parents making sure that they know everything (how and why) pleasurable and punishable in Islam from a young age. Also I think that parents should almost push (in a nice way) the religion on the kids at a young age, so that when they’re going through that confused state (hormonal, emotional etc.) they won’t be mislead. That way when they mature they will appreciate the religion and be with grave sin (like not praying, zina, drinking, and drugs etc.). Parents want to give their kids leeway, which is fine to a certain extent. Don’t you see Muslim kids acting like non-Muslims? The parents almost allow their kids to adapt to non-Islamic life styles. What does the Quran say about parents like this, and parent(s) who leave their kids? Not all Muslim teens that are around non-Muslims find themselves before sin. Do you think it’s the kid’s fault when they turn out bad? What do you think? (I know that some kids even with encouragement or force still turn out bad).

I.D. asserts that the complexity in the natural world indicates design, but proponents usually stop short of actually naming it "the work of God." Instead, they say the traditional god of any particular religion is only a "candidate" for the position of designer.

What are the other possible candidates? Are they being cryptic?

My candidate is the advanced alien life forms that designed the planet. Any others?

You ask for proof, but isn't proof just a human concept? You say you tried to believe but how many of you actually searched for the truth with all of your hearts? You say science is the truth but don't see the danger of looking to other men for everything you know, look to a scientist for answers and you will not think for yourself, you will have made them your God? You choose to deny my testimony, Why? Because I am not a scientist?

You would think that people would eventually reject an ideology that creates such oppression,violence and hatred. Perhaps they are indoctrinated so extremely that it's difficult but eventually you would think that their desire to live free would cause people to reject Islam.

"Suicide is a sin beyond forgiveness. Cursing one's fleshy body reaps irrevocable disaster on the soul. All who commit the sin of suicide shall forever be bound as prisoners in the Wood of Suicides. God's judgment is irrevocably divine in its righteousness."

Are your opinions based on instinct and beliefs as handed down by family or peers or did you actually study something? Generally people on this website come across as strongly opinionated. I would love to know where these opinions come from. Have you read the ENTIRE Bible/Koran/Torah? Have you conducted extensive study in the field of evolution?
Thank you.

I know this question has probably been asked a million times, but I want to see some different answers.

Would you make a debate that won the Bears superbowl 41? Or that the Tigers won the world series in 2006? Or that Japan and Germany won WWII? Since evolution deniers (creationists) take a side that is factually incorrect that has nothing to do with facts, science, imperical evidence......do you creationists also feel that we should take up other arguements that are factually incorrect like those I listed?

This question was asked and there are sooooooooooooo many incorrect statements on what mormons believe it is just amazing to me.

If you dont know what mormons believe why do you answer the question?
If you really think that is what mormons believe will you at least realize that you have their beliefs wrong?

I was wondering what people thought about praise and worship at Catholic Mass. Is it ok to be ecumenical during the mass? If not would there be anything wrong with having some more energetic prayer after Mass has concluded that would be optional?

Is homosexuality called sin in Romans 1st ch? Is sodomy the same as homosexuality in the bible? Did the homosexuals try to molest the angels that were visiting Lot in Sodom and Gomorrow in the bible? Did God call homoseuxality an abomination, and would give people over to a reprobate mind of they did not repent? Does Hebrews 10 26 says that if we practice sin willingly after knowing truth, there is no more sacrafice for that sin? Is sin something God opposes? Did Jesus say he will tell some people to depart from him because they were wicked and he does not know them?

I picture it to be pretty fun. Jesus is already my best friend, but being to actually hang out will be cool. And I imagine there will be mass none stop- which will be awesome. I also have a plan with God, we're going to beat someone with pillows :-p
How do you picture it?

I'm an atheist who recently moved from Europe to the USA bible belt, so I figured reading the Bible could be useful, to at least understand what the people in front of K-Mart are talking about when they ask me if I'm already saved.

So, I started reading.

My problem is, I've never met anybody that managed to be completely honest about themselves. Reality is as we perceive it, so even when a person is completely honest about himself, it doesn't have to mean he's completely telling the truth about his achievements, actions or whatever. It's just his perception of reality.

How can I be sure that God is capable of being 100% honest about Himself? The Bible seems to be God's word, but can God be so impartial and unjudgmental about himself that He can actually tell me the complete truth about Himself? Is that even possible?
