You would think if Good was unchanging like they claim the description would remain the same.

It's just not,not, NOT even CLOSE to being true, yet they confidently assert that as defense for their end-times scenarios.

Hello, all:

I'm reposting this from last night to have (hopefully) more people see it and respond.

I am doing research for my NaNoWriMo novel (details of the "write a novel in 30 days" concept at http://www.nanowrimo.org), and I have a main character who is going to be either Pentecostal or Southern Baptist.

I would greatly appreciate anything that anyone can tell me about these two denominations or point me to good online resources, and information from someone "on the inside" would be supremely helpful. I want to be sure that I portray the character's beliefs accurately and in a way that does justice to these faith traditions.

Thanks to everybody who takes the time to answer.

Believing in the wrong Supreme Being, or believing in none?

Does anyone else find it utterly IRONIC that "Dog" The Bounty Hunter is always spewing how Jesus is the way, and how everything he does is in Jesus' name, but then he refers to black people as the "N" word???

Does anyone else see how this is very typical of the Jesus freaks in our society? They incessantly repeat the nonsense from the Bible, tell us what Jesus would do and tell us we are all going to hell if we don't do the Lord's deeds, and yet they walk around doing the complete opposite of what they preach...Like Dog calling people the "N" word!

I don’t want assumptions or what you do blindly

There is an exact reason for it and there is a proper procedure for it.

Please answer only if you know.

The purpose of these questions is for people to know the exact procedure and for the future generation to understand what they do, instead of saying blind belief.

I am going to answer after all your answers: But I also want to know, who is interested.

Don’t forget to star if you like this question ... Hey this is only a reminder, not a request.

If you believe that when people die they go to heaven or some other peaceful place then why do we fear and mourn death. As long as you die peacefully, whats all the crying about? Is it a selfish emotion because you will not get to see the person anymore or is it because you really do not believe in all the heaven hype? So should'nt religious people be happy when a loved one dies?

He keep saying talking about the word of God. That the people who wrote the Bible are men of God. He said the word of God is true and never be broken.

Then I joke about that the Gate and the tree could be God, and I spoke to the gate and tree and called it God. Then he said Lord forgive him for what he said.

When he about to eat, he thank God for like 10 minutes. He had got about extra 25 dollars in his checking account. So he kept on thanking Jesus and God. He kept saying thank you like these people are real. Then he says I love you Jesus, and you died on the cross for me.

We are both african americans

Then he thinks that he is going to heaven and I am going to hell after we die.

He still thinks man never landed on another planet, like the moon. He still thinks its fake.

I am getting very scared, what am I going to do? I am 22 years old and my cousin is 18 years old,

I don't really knock down any religions or specifically believe in any of them, cause any of them could be true and nobody knows for sure. but what if we just stop existing, because our physical body is what controls our emotions and feelings. when our body stops working, I would think that we stop thinking and feeling as well. and if we ARE still feeling, then i would hate to be one of the dead bodies on an autopsy table.

but anyway..has anyone else ever felt this way, and is it a painful process to realize that your close ones who die are never going to connect with you again?

I apologise if I'm being too elaborate in my expression of vocabulary there.... but I'll try to explain in simple terms:

Christians take the contents of the bible generally as axiomatic: In other words, "original facts" to which all else is judged. They are therefore assumed to be correct in order to justify anything else.

But on what external basis are they assumed correct? What conclusive indicator OUTSIDE of the bible itself is there that what is written in the bible is undeniable truth? What is there to demonstrate that the bible is genuinely the "word of god" and not in fact a book of mistakes or even outright deception?

I have yet to meet a christian who could actually judge the bible or question it... not even in order to validate it.
Then again... many Atheists have trouble judging or questioning their own senses or reason.

i dont want to offend anybody and i know this also occurs in other religions but i notice it occur most in christians and islam but more on islam its like a 55% to 45% thing
anyway i notice the followers of these 2 religions try harder than most to recruit people into their religion if you will.....
i'm sorry and i'm not saying all of them are that way but a higher percentage of them do it compared to others,

whats your opinion and do you notice this?

I've been saved for almost 8 years now and I have never fasted......ever.

I know fasting is not really a requirement concerning our walk with the Lord (that would be legalism & works if it was).

But what is the actual purpose for fasting? Please elaborate if you would.

Thanks,

Primo
