Do the Gods of CHRISTIANITY actually exist?
How do you know?
If your tradition contradicts the tradition of another CHRISTIAN, can they both be objectively true?
How do you feel about believing in the religious system where you cater to your own desires?
If you cater/ construct your religion according to your own desires, then isn't it nothing more than your own invention?
Is CHRISTIANITY able to be shown to be false or is it all non-verifiable ideas?
If your PRAYER produce results, how do you know that the power behind the results is good or not?
How do you that there is something more sinister behind CHRISTIANITY?
Why do you think that rituals with PRIESTS, UNLEVEN BREAD, and such are able to affect YOUR PERSONAL LIVES?

Answer 1

God spoke to me last night.

He said, "Damn bro! You sure do get laid a lot!" Then he raped me.

Praise the Lord.

Answer 2

I don't know why I am even bothering with this nonsense, but here goes:
Do the Gods of CHRISTIANITY actually exist?
There is only ONE god. Yes.

How do you know? It doesn't take an idiot...

If your tradition contradicts the tradition of another CHRISTIAN, can they both be objectively true?
No of course not. It's only true to each person.

How do you feel about believing in the religious system where you cater to your own desires? I don't, but I could see how a lot of people do and it's sick. But to be fair not all of christianity is like that.

If you cater/ construct your religion according to your own desires, then isn't it nothing more than your own invention? Well, yeah lol. And no. If someone goes and starts his own church cuz he thinks he has insight into the Bible that noone else has it would be his own invention, but by using the bible it isn't solely his.

Is CHRISTIANITY able to be shown to be false or is it all non-verifiable ideas? Neither!

If your PRAYER produce results, how do you know that the power behind the results is good or not?I suppose it would depend on the outcome lol.

How do you that there is something more sinister behind CHRISTIANITY? That's a long story there.... dried up version is that there was something really sinister in the false doctrines coming out of the Catholic church. Those are being corrected in a lot of churches these days.

Why do you think that rituals with PRIESTS, UNLEVEN BREAD, and such are able to affect YOUR PERSONAL LIVES? Dunno what churches do that (I don't have a priest or anything) but ummm the purpose of that ceremony is not to affect our lives in any way, but only to remember what Christ did for us.

Answer 3

Sure. I'll bite.

Not the gods of Christianity, the God of Christianity. Just one.
Yes He exists. We talk.

I don't know what you mean by tradition. If someone gives praise to the Lord by sitting on their front lawn in the sprinklers then God bless 'em.

I don't cater to my own desires. I defer to His will. Whenever I ask Him for something I make sure I ask it in accordance with His will. He has the better plan. I speak from experience.

Christianity is not all non-verifiable ideas. There are lots of non-biblical references.

If I ask Him for something and He responds affirmatively then there is no adversarial power involved.

Something sinister behind Christianity?
It's a message of love. Can't think of anything sinister behind that.

Rituals. I don't have any rituals with priests.
I take communion as He instructed. That, in itself, doesn't change my life, per se, but my repationship with Him certainly does.

Answer 4

1) Yes, GOD exists;
2) Because He said so;
3) Christians are not to argue with other Christians about minor theological issues. But they do, anyway. Only God can settle it.
4) Such a religious system would come from Satan.
5) (not applicable -- the Author of my faith is Jesus Christ)
6) It is independently verifiable. Look at the prophesies. In fact, we are living in the "end times," and prophecy is being fulfilled all around us.
7) Because I know for a fact to whom I am praying.
8) I'm not sure what you mean.
9) Christians are NOT under the Levitical system; we (and all Messianic Jews) are under the New Covenant of Christ. All the Levitical rituals symbolically pointed to different aspects of Jesus and His role.

Answer 5

The (ONE) G-d is Jehovah. He is not the G-d of the Christians, He is the G-d to all who will come to Him by faith. Yeshua (Jesus) is His Son – the Messiah (Annointed One). He is fully pictured and best understood by studying the Feasts and Festivals in Leviticus and then to read his fulfillment of them in the Apostolic Scriptures (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). When he was crucified, he was the Passover Lamb. When he rose again from the dead, he was the First Fruits from the dead. He was born during the Festival of Tabernacles and He IS the bread without leaven (sin). When he ascended into heaven, he became the Eternal High Priest and the eternal sacrifice who serves in the Heavenly Tabernacle, of which the earthly tabernacle was a copy of. And, as the rightful heir to the throne, as the son of David, he is the eternal King of Kings!

The mainline Christian (Gentile part of the) Church has changed him from an obedient Orthodox Jew to a blue-eyed law (Torah) breaker. This happened as a direct result of persecution (death and torture) of the Jews. The gentiles believers (as opposed to the Jewish believers, yes, the original believers were Jews!) began to teach Sabbath keeping and other things in the Torah have been “done away with” in order to save their skin. Believe the Scriptures. We don't have to obey Torah, we GET TO! Take it ALL literally (except for obvious poetry such as the verse that says the trees clapped their hands!) The gentiles were included into the “House of Israel” according to the Prophet Amos when Yeshua (from the tribe of Judah) restored the House of David. Make straight paths for the Lord in your life, for the Kingdom of God is upon you!

G-d created you. And the reason He did so was to have relationship with you. Don’t let us Christians keep you from believing. Put your faith in G-d and He will show you the way.

Answer 6

Ist --God is not a god of tradition or law, so one Christians traditions vs. another is irrelavent in God's eyes, I'm sure.

2nd -- I don't cater to my own desires, actually it much the opposite. There are things that my flesh wants that my spirit says I can't have. I cater to Christ and His ways.

3rd -- You can't prove it false, but in order to beleive you have to know Jesus for yourself. So searching for ways to disprove it is kind of dumb, becuase most of the you will have an encounter with Christ and therefore prove his existance.

4th --Because Jesus is Good!

5th--There is sinster things behind man, but not behind Christ so if you follow Christ and not man your cool.

6th-- I don't follow rituals, but commands.

Answer 7

I'm going to answer even though I'm not a Christian because I dont see the point of your question.

Of course they exist.
I have felt the presence of the Lord.
No, they cannot. I am correct.
I feel that is wrong.
Yes, if someone did that it would be their own invention.
No, it can not be shown to be false.
Because I'm praying to God and God is good.
This question didn't make sense and is missing words.
Of course I do.

Answer 8

It has been proven irrefutable to me.And it is not based on tradition, it is based on the word of God. Christians are people, some jump in the deep end, others, just "soak their toe".
Their is more realism in even the most immature christian, then amongst, any 10 liberal God hating hate mongers.

Answer 9

None of them have any tangible evidence for any of it, it's all based on the F word ... faith.

So the more you believe in something you cannot prove the better off you are and will be in the afterlife you cannot prove exists.

Of course that makes no sense to me, but religion isn't about sense or facts or tangible evidence, it's about the F word.

Answer 10

See the difference between me and you are, I asked a sincere question, you asked a sincere question, but the intent behind was to gang up on me, a person you don't even know and are making conclusions about based on a few questions. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do, doesn't bother me. Oh and in response to your answer on another question. Yes, my husband is a winner. See, there you go making assumptions based on one question.

Answer 11

God Inhabits Eternity -

In the height of heaven (Job 22:12 below), in the third heaven (2 Cor.12:2 below) God (Isa.44:6, Isa.45:5 below) inhabits eternity (Isa.57:15 below) and dwells in Zion (Joel 3:21, Ps.23:6 below), the city of the living God (Heb.12:22 below).


Job 22:12 [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

2 Cor.12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Isa.44:6Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God (Isa.45:5 below).

Isa.45:5I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me (Isa.44:6 above); I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

Isa. 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Joel 3:21 For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

Ps.23:6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me (David) all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Heb.12:22But ye are come unto mount Sion (Re.14:1), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.
