How can one person say that they know "THE" truth when the muslim on the other side of the world believes sincerely and with great conviction what they believe just as much as the christian on this side....so just like you have one saying they KNOW what they believe is true...ppl of other belief systems believe in theirs just as strongly....so who's right?

Once you found that out, did you question your beliefes?
Most evanglestic sermons and witnessing preach a very simple message. God sent his Son to die for our sins and putting your faith and trust in Jesus will give you eternal life. I know many people make that decision without ever knowing that Christians think Jesus is God and that God is 3 persons but still one God

Atheists trolling Christians, atheists slandering Christians, atheists insulting Christians... why such hatred. Either you believe or you don't. Why can't you let it go at that?

Why do fundamentalists find evolutions so deroggatory? I'd much rather be descended from apes than formed of powdered excrement and held together with the slobber of many many animals--do they give any thought to what goes on in a river? If we came from THAT, then why are thyphoid and malaria poisonous to us?

I KNOW ITS OUT OF CONTEXT OR WHATEVER. HERE I'LL CUT TO THE QUICK--IF YOUR A BELIEVER THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR YOU TO OBJECTIVELY VIEW THE BIBLE SINCE YOU BRING A HEAPING HELPING OF SUBJECTIVITY WITH YOU.

Lets keep this going, I am not trying to be rude but the latest episode of south park is what is bringing on these questions


Is it true that the man who published the book of mormon
tried to disprove Joe Smith by having him re-translate a page from the plates??? which I understand he failed at doing

doesn't the fact that no one having seen the stones or the where abouts of the stones now raise some questions

it's not like it was 1000's of years ago what happened to them

I value real education not bs. When YOU got out of school, a highschool diploma could actually get you somewhere. Now it can only get you working at Mc Donald's. Now you have to go to school at least 6 years to make a decent living. We have to take bs courses that are little more than propaganda courses. The education system is a joke; they want us to take bs courses that will not help us, only so that the beaurocrats on top generate profits. I only go to college so that I will not end up on the streets; it is not because of the joy of the overglorified brainwashing device known as "education".

If God isn't real then explain how people are healed on the spot when being prayed over, and explain how the holy spirit isn't real, because I've experienced this. I've seen people get healed before my eyes, when I went on a trip to Mexico, we prayed over a lady with a bent spine and it straightened out right in front of me. I felt it with my hand. and I've experienced the holy spirit. its like feeling alone with him and being in his presence and you feel like you could do anything and that you feel great but humble in front of him. it's an awesome feeling!!

Through out ages, people have longed for world peace. They wish for peace. The inanity behind their desire blinds the truth. The only peace is found in death. World peace is equivalent to the end of the world. Open your eyes. See the world for what it is, not for what it isn't. One side is real, the other is just a reflection. Do you see what I see?

Only pray the Lord's prayer, for God already knows what you need. (Matthew 6:7-13)
Pray for whatever you want: "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:14); "If you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name." (John 16:23)
BUT it doesn't matter anyway, because "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) and "We know that God does not listen to sinners." (John 9:31)

I am a Christian, and have been one my entire life. I believe what I believe because it is truth to me. I can't explain or rationalize that, but I cannot refuse what I believe. It breaks my heart, though to see other Christians make condemning statement to others who don't believe. I want to repent on behalf of all Christians for our narrow view of the rest of the world, our condemnation and judgment of people who don't believe what we believe, and our better than thou attitude about knowing truth. These attitudes do not reflect the Character and Person of Jesus that the bible describes. He was accused by the religious folk of hanging around and befriending "sinners, prostitutes, tax collecters", basically the scum of society. He also had lot's of time for regular folk like you and I. I also apologize for my own mistakes in this area. I have not been a perfect representation of who Jesus really was.

Luke chapter 18:
18 A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
19 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'

21"All these I have kept since I was a boy," he said.

22When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. SELL EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND GIVE TO THE POOR, AND YOU WILL HAVE TREASURE IN HEAVEN. Then come, follow me."

23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

and to possibly lead and make decisions for the group?

If you think no- then you cannot think that churches should be required to let homosexuals into membership or leadership roles if the denomination opposes homosexuality.

Several people answered that churches should be required to let homosexuals join in a previous question.
