Religion & Spirituality - 29 October 2007

Here is another argument from an atheist:

"If Christianity is the one true religion, if you don't accept Jesus as your savior and you burn in Hell FOREVER when you die, then why didn't Indians in America know about Jesus until about AT LEAST 1,500 years after he died (some took much longer)? This is NO small detail?"

Here is my rebuttal:

Who's to say Indians didn't know Jesus in their own way? You are assuming.

Also, God used missionaries to tell people about Jesus. If it took over 1,500 years, then it is not the fault of God. It is the fault of missionaries.

You could say that God will not send Indians to Hell for not accepting Jesus. Atheists say why give these people free rides to Heaven?

I say that the Lord works in mysterious ways, but make no mistake. He IS wise and fair and the decision He makes will always be the best. No one knows what will happen to the people in the past, but NOW you have no excuse. The word is out there.Open your hearts.

Your thoughts?

that people that die by suicide go to hell? I am a Christian that lost her father to suicide and I do not believe that, nor can I find it. And so when I hear people say that, it saddens me even more that they did not even know my father and can JUDGE him without even knowing him? I thought God was to do the judging? My dad had a huge heart, and I know he's in heaven.

This is a serious question and I truly want to listen to what you have to say. I have noticed that a LOT of Atheists in this forum claim to be former Christians.

#1) If you WERE a Christian what happened to change your beliefs?
#2} If you are an Atheist, did you grow up in an Atheist home?
#3) I understand that people are passionate about their beliefs, and no one wants to have religion shoved in their face, but why do so many people in this forum seems to HATE Christians???

Lately I feel as if I need to develop a spiritual relationship with God and feel very drawn to explore the Catholic faith. The issue is that I was not raised Catholic and really don't know what to do to procede. Any insight or guidance from practicing Catholics would be greatly appreciated.

Question is at end.

The Bible clearly states that no unclean thing can enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Only through accepting the sacrifice of Jesus can we be let into Heaven. If we don't believe in it, then it was in vain.

Imagine if a killer got off SCOTT FREE because he said it was sorry. Imagine the outrage.

We are just like killers. EVERY one of us.We deserve to go to Hell forever.But God so loved the world that if you believe in Jesus, your sins will be washed clean and you will be saved from Hell.

Hell is a horrible place. I do not want you to go there. Let Jesus into your hearts.

For those of you that are Christian, but have doubts, let me say this: Why do you have doubts? You have felt the Holy Spirit. You know for a FACT that it is true. I know the liberal media has an anti-Christian agenda. I know you have seen anti-Christian stuff, but this is all inspired by Satan just like Satan has put doubts in your head about Jesus being your savior, but it is the Truth

Grace is the polar opposite of evil.

So who would you say is the most evil person of the 20'th century & the most Grace-filled person of the 20'th century?

Tell me how this is true! I have seen christianity and the rest of the religion kill more than i can say for this piece of crap. And besides, if he thinks Atheists are murderers, why doesn't he just look at the true face of religious murderers themselves?!

Please specify an example of the "higher standard" separating clergy from laity in real, concrete terms? I want an example, such as, "It is OK for the average Christian to X but it is wrong for a pastor to do the same thing."

SCAPEGOATING = A tactic often employed is to characterize an entire group of individuals according to the unethical or immoral conduct of a small number of individuals belonging to that group, also known as guilt by association.

The Jews were scapegoated and singled out in Nazi propaganda during the 20th century.
