13. Here is my question for you. Why don't you put your hope and trust in Christ Jesus?

Answer 3

I'll humor you for a few of your questions. You ask too many for one posting to get serious responses. Try asking no more than three questions at a time.

You probably need to define hard core christian as well.

Anywho.. #2. yes. Gay marriage is an oxymoron. Marriage is an institution that originated with God. God established it for the purpose of pro-creation and mutual satisfaction of a husband and wife.

#2b. Abortion rights. Are you really asking a Christian if they believe in the right to murder. This is why I ask you to define hard core christian. Abortion is ending a life. Regardless of the stage of development, the one thing that is never denied is that the fetus is a developing entity.

#3. Yes. I have children.

#4. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. There is none righteous, no not one. Christianity is the method of forgiveness and acceptance by God. "Arrogant as all get out, isn't it?"

#5. Interesting question. Magic often is demonic or satanic influence. It is very real. Mermaids, have fish, half human, eh nah!

7. Hold a few doctorates, irrelevant because it means that I have a few areas in which I am brilliant in, but I have neglected so many other areas. People who are educated recognize one great truth, that they know very little.

#8. Definitely have shown respect for other's holidays. Practiced would indicate a belief in it to a degree. (IMHO), so no.

#9. No. Actually, (Hey do you know anything about what a Christian is?) Christianity teaches to deny self, not promote self. That is humanism that promotes self. I die to myself daily.

#10. ??????

#12. Evil has been resident on earth since about the beginning of time. The authors of the Bible were inspired by God to write, so it wasn't the opinions of men that cause us to have Holy Scripture.

Hey this was fun, and I hope it helped.

Answer 4

1- yes I would say I am conservative
2- yes I oppose gay marriage and I am against abortion- due to the fact that it kills
3- My husband and I are unable to have children- so I am very thankful that their birth moms did not believe in abortion either
4- All people are sinners and need Jesus.
5- I believe that magic is just that magic- but I do not look to magic for anything but entertainment.
6- I have never seen God as a person walking around but I see Him with my inner heart- those people who are Christians will understand what I am talking about
7- My GPA was 3.7 in high school. By they way, Christians are not stupid as you may be implying.
8- I have looked at other religions but out of respect to the one true living God- I have chosen Christianity
9- I will say I do not have a religion- I have a relationship with God. Christianity doesn't teach self-esteem - it shows us how to be humble in His eyes.
10- I do not know what will exactly happen with my body when I die- but I do know that I will be with Jesus- and I will be no longer live in chronic pain, which I have for years. HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!
11- God breathed, people wrote it down.
12- The ancient Roman empire was full of crime, but so is this time- The Bible said this- I believe it.

11. Peter, Paul, John, Moses, and much much more. There about 40+ writers. They all go together, but yet there is a huge time period difference. about 2000+ years.
12. Yes. Maybe one or two. but this is no scandel. think of it this way. (how can someone write from 2000 years before but yet connect to the writer who wrote during the ancient roman empire) there is no denying that scandel was not part of this. ________ P.S. Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit is all one. The Holy Spirit is the one who told the writers what to write. If you want, you can email me any questions or comments about what I have written. [e-mail]__________ I Hope this will be helpfull to you.
