The recent generation are not more religious and they depend more on science and their hard work. Younger generation are going behind Agnoticism which seems to be acceptable to them.

Why did Thomas in John 20:28, fell at Jesus’ feet, exclaiming, "My Lord and my God!"?
(Greek: Ho Kurios mou kai ho Theos mou)
literally, "The Lord of me and the God of me!"

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Is anyone following any movement that might fit these words from Jude?

I've asked many times to meet and see God !!!
Because I'd ask what many 100's of people throughout these past century's have failed to ask him/her/ or whatever who are they and where do they come from and who, created, conceived or simply are they evolved but no human supposedly who as spoken with them has asked this most obvious of questions amazingly ???????

I'm not going to pretend I believe in the bible or Christian teaching, but this isn't just a cheap way to get a dig in at a religion I disagree with (I disagree with them all, but that's not the issue).

Christians, what is your explanation of the (proven) presence of creatures like dinosaurs on this earth in the past? Why does the bible not mention them and why, when the earth was created with Adam and Eve put on it very early on, did no-one once mention these gigantic creatures?

What's the Christian explanation for such things?

In Genesis 10:5 it states
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

Yet in Genesis 11:8
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

Seeing that Genesis is supposed to be chronological how could god confuse languages when man already spoke different languages?

If I am honest with myself I would have to answer my everyday life lately has been consuming me. Having to do this, having to do that. Working working working only to pay bills. Managing this load and that. I find that my prayers have been centered around finding relief from some of these things, but as I began to center my focus on him and allow true worship to flow, I am reminded of the more important things. I realize that through the things I encounter I am being challenged and stretched and if kept in proper perspective these things will not be distractions or deterents. My worship towards Him will continue to flow uninterrupted.

Talk about 'evil' to so many athiests and they don't bat an eyelid. Talk about ghosts and demons in films, and they still don't.

In John 8:58, when quizzed about how He (Jesus) has special knowledge of Abraham, Jesus replies,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am"

His audience understood exactly what He was claiming about himself.
"So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple" (John 8:59).

Why would they want to stone Jesus?
What does He mean by "I Am"?

Before you answer, remember that atheism itself isn't a principle, cause, philosophy, or belief system which people fight, die, or kill for.... like christianity is. .Communists don't kill in the name of atheism.

In other words, is your salvation selfish and do you only obey your religion to get to heaven?

This is how it happened...I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.

He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. "What are you doing?" I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know.

He then answered me with a simple statement.
"TEACH THE CHILDREN!"

I was puzzled; what did he mean? He anticipated my question, and with one quick movement brought forth a miniature toy bag from behind the tree. As I stood bewildered, Santa said,
"Teach the children! Teach them the old meaning of Christmas. The meaning that now-a-days Christmas has forgotten."

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR TREE and placed it before the mantle.
"Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven."

He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR.
"Teach the children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago. God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of His promise."

He then reached into his bag and pulled out a CANDLE.
"Teach the children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness."

Once again he reached into his bag and removed a WREATH and placed it on the tree.
"Teach the children that the wreath symbolizes the real nature of love. Real love never ceases. Love is one continuous round of affection."

He then pulled from his bag an ornament of himself.
"Teach the children that I, St. Nick, ( Santa Claus ) symbolize the generosity and good will we feel during the month of December."


He then brought out a HOLLY LEAF.
"Teach the children that the holly plant represents immortality. It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Savior. The red holly represents the blood shed by Him."

Next he pulled from his bag a GIFT and said,
"Teach the children that God so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON..." "Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

"Teach the children that the wise men bowed before the Holy BABE and presented HIM with gold, frankincense and myrrh. We should always give gifts in the same spirit of the wise men."

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a CANDY CANE and hung it on the tree.
"Teach the children that the candy cane represents the shepherds' crook. The crook on the staff helps to bring back strayed sheep to the flock. The candy cane is the symbol that we are our brother's keeper."


He reached in again and pulled out an ANGEL.
"Teach the children that it was the angels that heralded in the glorious news of the Savior's birth. The angels sang 'Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will toward men."

Suddenly I heard a soft twinkling sound, and from his bag he pulled out a BELL.
"Teach the children that as the lost sheep are found by the sound of the bell, it should ring mankind to the fold. The bell symbolizes guidance and return."

Santa looked back and was pleased. He looked back at me and I saw that the twinkle was back in his eyes. He said,
"Remember, teach the children the true meaning of Christmas and do not put me in the center, for I am but a humble servant of the One that is, and I bow down to worship HIM, our LORD, our GOD."

When the "new light" changes to "newer light" then this "new light" does not come directly from God but the men on the governing body decide what they think God MIGHT want and they are oftentimes mistaken.
