"Don't argue with _____. Such people constantly change their point of view to suit themselves". Or something like that? It might compare them to the sea or shifting sands or something.

with all of my "if jesus was a ___ what kind of ___ would he be" questions, some people have given boring answers like "dumb question because he's not one"

well how do you know??? if he's as powerful as christianity claims, then there's nothing he can't do, right?

so, can god turn himself into inanimate objects?

I recently read a few questions that asked if people knew of the anti-religious 'messages' within The Golden Compass (aka: Northern Lights) and the other books and subsequent films of the His Dark Materials trilogy.

The books portray an authoritarian church as the antagonists, and bases most of the religious concepts upon Jewish mythology more than anything. This reflects the abusive power churches had in the dark ages of Europe, why do some Christians seem to have issues with a work of fiction that displays evil as evil? Or do they insist that the churches of the dark ages were just and true and people weren't massacred for simply not complying to religious standards?

In all fairness, God could exist. Yes, it's possible, I believe it. But why do so many have seemingly so many definitive notions of something that has so many possibilities?

There could be a single God, sure, but there could also be many. Miracles can happen, sure, but coincidence can make the ordinary seem extraordinarily timely. Bad people get struck down, sure, but so do good people.

Why do so many believe so much in something that, honestly, you can't *know* that much about?

After reading and understanding both the Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution, can you really take the Bible seriously?

PLEASE ANSWER ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS:

1. Is homosexuality a sin?
2. If you are gay, and your worship God with all your heart, will you still go to Hell?
3. If you are born gay, do you think it's fair to know that you're headed to Hell?

My Grandma told me that gays and lesbians will all go to Hell no matter how much they worship God. Even if they were born like that. I think that's kind of harsh!

to lighten the mood in here, i've been asking "if jesus was a ___ what kind of ___ would he be" questions the last couple of days. the answers are quite imaginative and mostly positive.

as most of you know, i'm not christian, but these questions aren't meant to be offensive, just fun. it's not like i'm asking something gross or mean, so how is this blasphemy?

i figure if primoa can answer without being offended, then it can't be bad!

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.

"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16.

Why is it that people are not experiencing the abundant life?

2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.

Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.

3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.

"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.

4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.

"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12

2007-10-30 03:22:14 · 17 answers · asked by Theophilus 2

if we deserved punishment for our sins, but Jesus took them on, why would god have made us with the capability to commit sin if he knew his only son would have to die if he did it? Whoever this "God" guy is, he doesn't sound like a very good parent, and is definitely not worthy of any kind of praise. He sounds like an A**Hole.

Have you gotten to the point in your faith that you are so sick of hearing the "good news" that you are ready to throw in the towel? I grew up hearing this all my life, had no choice in the matter, I was even forced to go the college of my parent's choosing because of their strong faith. I was extremely active in christian activities throughout school, high school and college. I went through a period after all of this in which I hadn't been to church in ages, not sure about my beliefs and extremely resentful that most of these choices had always been made for me as if I never had a say in the matter. I'm just wondering how many other people out there are like me? I'm beginning to pick up the pieces now but I feel like this shook my faith more than it built it because I was not encouraged I was forced.

Suppose we have a two-valued situation - either a thing is or it isn't. If I believe in it and you don't, and I don't understand why you don't believe, then I don't really understand the question. Perhaps, if I did understand, I'd agree with you.

The reverse is also true - if I don't believe and I don't understand why you do, then again I don't really understand what's going on.

Do you agree or disagree, and on what basis?

And please - I am not intentionally trying to convince anyone of anything. I believe what I said above, and I'm simply curious what other people think. I don't want to read a treatise on why you do or do not believe in any specific thing. I beg you - keep your answers focussed on the question.
