I notice that when something good happens in my life, whether I did well on an exam or finally got an interview, I'll say "thank you God!" and go about my happy day.

But during those times when I get bad news or nothing seems to be going right, I tend to pray more and hope things get better. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if maybe God is giving me the bad so I can give Him more attention? It seems almost backwards because then I feel like a hypocrite and only pray when things go wrong, but I also feel like maybe He's sending me a signal like "hey, don't forget I'm here!" I dunno, what do you think?

A good scientific theory makes accurate predictions. We can test these predictions in a controlled experiment to determine the predictive power of the theory.

I was wondering, what testable predictions does intelligent design make? What experiment could I set up to test these predictions?

Since I know this will come up, evolution makes predictions. For example, I could study the specific genetic makeup of the AIDS virus in a population. I could predict that, if we give the population a certain medication, the AIDS virus in that population will become resistant to that medication. I could then test whether or not that is true in a year.

Here are the things that have me worried about my dog.

1) He is not monogomous.
2) He has "special relationships" with other male dogs.
3) At the Park, he goes around sniffing other dogs behinds.

What can I do to prevent him from being so un-Christianlike? He's acting like a liberal!

Serious answers only please. Thanks!

Bible experts, please help me out. I cannot find a verse, which says the Bible is the one and only authentic and infallible guide to Christian doctrine and practice.

...and supposing we and they had a creator god...could that be why that creator god never makes an appearance here? That he is just too busy elsewhere?

This is what I was just told by a believer. If this is true, then how do you explain the computer you are on right now? You don't NEED that to serve him, do you?

And that is why they suffer and thousands of their children die of starvation daily, right?

Thank you to one of the believers here for pointing this out. He shall remain nameless.

According to a lot of Christians, Jesus came from heaven to earth via Mary and Holy Spirit and He suffered and died a horrible death, but rose again on the third day and went back to heaven from where He came, so did He really die? So many say "He died for my sins." Did He really? The bible says he went back to prepare a place for us, how come he can make the earth in 7 days but it is taking him over 2,000 years to build a mansion? Please no bible verses just honest answers from you anyone can quote a verse.

I mean, the possibility is equal, if not better than the concept of a god...

It would be more likely that another planet had super-advanced machines that came to our planet, and could mimic cars...right?

I am not trying to stir up anything. I just want to understand your line of thinking. I just posted a question regarding how I think it is arrogant that people in this country consider themselves blessed by God when 75% of the world is much poorer than they are. I received a response that stated that God does not bless people with money or worldly things. What, then, does he bless you with? Since food cost money, does he not bless you with food either? I'm confused.

Are we ready of God's Kingdom? With all that is Happening in the world today, i wonder if anyone would care about what really matters in life! We are on the brink of seeing the next world war 3, so would it be so bad for God to let Christ come down here and start His plan to rule the earth and all the people in it!

today i was at work,i was talking to this guy and he mentioned about his wives pregnacy anyway i turned to him and ask if he was an christian,only because in the past he mentioned something about temptation,anyway i wasnt being forceful or anything but was just asking a general question,his answer in reply was an offence one, i looked at him and though "oh ok"
then he started firing questions at me as to why i am a christian and he disagreed but i wasnt bothered, i mean if he doesnt believe in what i do,why should i care,but if he asks about why i believe in what i do i'll tell him...in my own opinion,anyway what i found was he became extremely angry with me for no reason at all, what i dont understand is why ,all i did was ask a simple question and here he is blowing his top,i dont know him that well & what he said to me about his wife was on a really touchy subject,i then thought about it,if a person who is this hateful to god do you think its because they feel god has fail them?

As I understand it, Christians who don't believe in evolution then believe that God has placed dinosaur bones and oil (fossils millions of years old), light from distant stars which would have taken billions of years to get here, all as tricks to fool us. He deliberately placed objects for us to find that disupte the bible to test us.

Please then tell me how you cannot be certain that God hasn't tricked us by creating the world only say 200 years ago and placed all records and society to trick us this way? Surely, you believe He is capable of doing this as He is all powerful. Surely you also believe He might do this as he has tried to trick us with fossils.

Is it just 'obvious' that he didn't, in which case, with all the evidence that the world is older than the Bible leads us to believe, isn't it also 'obvious' that He didn't as the same logic applies?

Everyone who rejects Jesus and accepts another God goes to Hell,even if he is a very good person.You may be the best and loving person and you go to Hell if you reject the God of cross.What love is this?Alright then you deserve to be far from God,but why should you be tormented day and night,for rejecting a God?Cant you just be abandoned?Why should you be tormented?Here is what I mean-
A good person loves his family,forgives his enemies,helps people and he donates money to the poor,but he dosent believe in Jesus or accepts another God.Why should he go to Hell?Christians came to Scandinavia and the rest of Europe killing those who wouldn't reform for no reason...


Catholics killed other Christians because they weren't Catholic... They tortured the Protestants! They shaved off their hair, burned them alive, poked them with hot irons, beat them, along with other sadistic acts even though they all believe in God.If a very good and nice person(atheist) cant go to Heaven,them Jesus is not about love
