Has anyone else experienced this? I understand there may be no answerers to this.

Christians, please don't answer if this doesn't apply to you to argue. PLEASE.

"Liar Liar pants on fire"?
My point is people tell me this based on the person I am and the things I do rather than my religious beliefs, or lack there of.
Thoughts?

Jesus on excommunication, shaming, banishment, shunning...

Matthew 18:15-17: "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault...
...If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a PAGAN or a TAX COLLECTOR."

Oh, you can comment on the church practices of excommunication, shaming, banishment, shunning....

You Christians say that Jesus is God.
You say it is true because you actually feel it and have a relationship with Him.
You say that He has helped you so many times and He speaks through your soul and you know that it is real.

Here comes the contradiction.

You say you have faith in you belief.
You say you have faith because you can't prove His existence.
Yet you claim that your belief is 100% real.

I don't need faith for believing that I have five fingers since I can see and feel them. Fact don't need faith to prove it.

If you say God 100% exists despite not seeing Him then you claimed God's existence as a fact. Why do you need faith if you already are so sure He exists?

So is your belief in God 100% or less?

If it is 100% then it is a fact that God exists and faith is irrevalent. That is because you already proved His existence by your relationship with Him as a fact thus needing no more faith.

So is it 100% or less?
And explain how faith is essential?

The New Jerusalem
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Revelation 21

We will spend Eternity on the new earth with God.
Jesus is going to rule the earth.

i've never believed in God before, and i know it sounds stupid but i feel like I really need something to believe in right now.
i've never gone to church before, but is it too late to start going? is it wrong to all of a sudden start believing in God?

It's so confusing how God could have a 'son' who is still God. The OT says there's one and only one God- God- and it's VERY CLEARLY stated. There's every indication the messiah will be a man, never a 'God-man'.

Jesus prayed TO the 'Father'. Jesus needed to study, indicating he DIDN'T and COULDN'T possess all knowledge of the world that GOD ALONE has (eg. God understood Mongolian shamanism despite geography; Islam before it existed. Jesus couldn't). Jesus says he only does what his Father TELLS him to do. All of this seems like Jesus is inferior to God, as all on earth are.

I reject Islam's obsessive intolerance-yes,I've read the Qur'an- and Judaism's rules- they seem a bit outdated, but otherwise make sense.

Can I be a Christian while still believing Jesus existed and was inspired and sent by God, continue to pray directly to God (since if Jesus is God, i'm actually praying to Jesus anyway), and accept Jesus died for humanity and was resurrected- all God's power alone?

Things are really tight right now since I bought the new Lincoln Towncar. So, I put a post dated check in the collection plate. People watch me when the plate comes by so I don't want to just pass it on without putting something in. So, I put a post dated check for 2009 in the plate. Hopefully, I will have a little extra money in the bank by then. I'm good for it. I really am.

Father K exluded. I am sure that he is telling the truth about being a priest because he knows scripture and gives polite answers. I don't see him insulting those who disagree with him.
As for (most) of the rest of these professional preachers, after reading their rude posts and listening to the names that they call people who disagree with them; I am starting to believe that they are "posing" about what their profession is. The way that they communicate is sure not the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The majority of them can't even quote a Scripture.

Is it just me or has anyone else suspected that they are bearing false witness as to what their profession is? I would like to hear from others what they think - one way or another.

This is not meant as an insult against any particular denomination. It is questioning the people who are supposedly preaching the word of God.

They never did. The Jews and the Protestants removed books from the OT. The Catholic Church simply received the Septuagint version of the Hebrew scriptures, from the Jews, at the time of Christ. This became known as the Old Testament. 70 years later, the Jews removed 7 Old Testament books from the Septuagint. The reason given for this was that they could no longer find those books in Hebrew.

In 1529, Martin Luther removed the same 7 books from the Catholic Old Testament, that the Jews had removed1400 years earlier. Luther also removed 4 New Testament books (Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelation) that did not agree with his theology, for his German translation. These books were removed from their original place in the order of the books and placed together at the end of the Bible. In later editions, he was persuaded to return the New Testament books to to their proper position in his translation of the Bible. Today Protestant Bibles don’t contain 7 Old Testament books at all.

I'll just slip on a comfortable robe and do some dusting and house cleaning while they tell me stories about the prophet Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. They really seem to enjoy my company because they keep coming back every week.

Many Christians on this site claim that those who do not fight for what they believe in are cowards. I totally disagree with that. People fighting for what they believe in is what has caused the vast majority of evil in this world. Hitler fought for what he believed in. Napoleon fought for what he believed in. Genghis Khan fought for what he believed in. The Crusades were the result of 2 very large groups of people with different beliefs fighting for what they believed in. No, the people who resist fighting for what they believe in are the real hero's. The ones who fight are the cowards.
