Did Jesus say something about if you gather and talk about him it's a church, is this one because we do that, or are you not allowed to say anything against him or questioningly for it to be a church?

Ok yet another IQ question but they got me thinking I answered both truthfully. I was tested about a year ago for a class I was taking the results came back. I got a 163 score.
Is that my IQ.. according to them yes.. I still believe in God


Its the only score I have on it. I'm not a genius even though the test indicates that. I'm just very good at taking tests
All that being said why should IQ have anything to do with Religious belief?

Do people really think the lower your IQ them more you believe in God and the higher the more you don't?

No snarky or rude answers please. I'd really like to know your opion with out the rudeness.

It's in the Bible.When Jonathan died in battle (gays in the military) David wrote that Jonathan's love surpassed the love of women.That kind of language does not indicate friendship.How do you feel about two of your heroes having a relationship of an intimate nature?

Since you don't believe in Hell or eternal punishment when we die, I have a question as to how you would cope in a certain situation.
What if someone murdered a loved one of yours and was never brought to justice by law. The person was never caught and the murder remained unsolved forever.
I guess my question would be, How would you learn to deal with the fact that someone got away with murder and will never reap any form of punishment?

This may be a dumb question and I appologize in advance. Lol!
Thanks for your answers in advance too!

Why would it be written in Holy Books.
Could it be that society, during that time, actually showed Mercy to unwed mothers.

If God is infinitely wiser, infinitely superior than humans, he would be infinitely different, infinitely incomprehensible...

How can we claim knowledge of his motives or actions (including the motive to contact us or the action of inspiring a holy book)?

What about the figure in Revelation 1:16 with a "sharp" twoedged sword coming out it's mouth, that accuses, condemns, torments, and kills with said sword?

Are we talking grace is 'smarter' than law vs law?

What about Son of man should repent: Numbers 23:19?

i am not a reglious person, but i do celebrate merry christmas.. i was just wondering if there was anyone else out there that thinks how crazy it is that stores and people in the media aren't allowed to say merry christmas because they might be stepping on someone's toes? like i said, i am not a religious person, and have no problem with other people's religions, all i am saying is don't be offended by someone else.

I was talking to a methodist and a baptist the other day. the baptist told me that the methodist would go to heaven because he accepted christ as his savior, the methodist told me the baptist would go to heaven because he accepted christ as his savior. However when I enquired about my destination, as I to accept christ as my savior, upon hearing the notion I was catholic both informed me that I was on a one way trip to hell. Why is it ten that protestants proclaim other protestants can be saved, but the mere notion of a catholic being saved seems so proposterous to them?

i think he has a very good point, and it should be spread to all the different types of media, radio, tv, movie.
why dont you parents, you gaurdians, you people, complain and try and boycotts when you can just not watch it, not have your kids watch it, why do have to try and control and ruine everyone elses life?
if you want restrictions, restrict yourself and family. people should be free to watch and listen to whatever they want to.

No need to paw through the answers unless you're interested.

If you have never seen, heard, felt or touched HYDROGEN, how do you know that it doesn't exist?

This question yesterday was implied for atheists, and judging from the answers, atheists are incapable of believing in hydrogen because they're waiting for someone else to prove it exists (and they usually disqualify evidence beforehand). Christians, on the other hand, seem to be open to the evidence.

If I had asked about hydrogen, how would an atheist answer?
Consistently or with prior bias?

I used to think Christianity was all about love and forgiveness but since I started reading here, I've realised it's a lot to do with being judged and sent to Hell, for silly things like sex before marriage. I never met people like it before, so never knew that was part of Christianity, I thought it was loving. I think either I am not a Christian, or I belong to a different sort of Christianity, because I think Jesus is good, not evil and cruel. I bet I'm not the only one who is being put off, and I bet God's not pleased about it too.
