Anyone could say anything at any time to question anything I believe or think and I will think and consider what they have said because I am open minded. Why do I NEVER see a christian, despite dozens of reasons seen on this website, ever answer with a reasinable 'oh I never thought about it like that' type response? Do you think this is a healthy mindset to have in life on any subject?Is it not best to think why so many people have so many things to say on your beliefs, whether right or wrong-why do you seem to not want to think?

Earl D-What a great narrow minded view you have, you seem to be proud of it as well.

I have yet to hear anything even marginally intelligent that would challenge my belief
What? Are you joking? there are inaccuracies, impossible miracles, Noah's ark...but you can't see them

with me my faith is a faith that no matter what questions is asked or what statement is said, that may have good reasoning and such can't get past my faith, I am steadfast in my faith and I am unmovable in it and in God. I am also stubborn as well and determined to go forward and not let what others say or do or whatever move me..Joy & Peace

The problem with self-proclaimed "thinkers" is that they're the only ones who share their high opinion of themselves. Some of us realize that there is more to life than the noses in front of our faces. I have yet to hear anything even marginally intelligent that would challenge my belief. The big bang from nothingness just doesn't cut it. Obviously, you don't have anything or you'd be spouting it. Why are some of you so judgmental and intolerant that you can't stand the concept that some of us have beliefs you don't hold? I could care less if you believe or not, yet it seems to really bug you people that we have something to believe in. Why is that? Where is the tolerance you guys are so fond of telling us we don't have?

I am open minded and I give a lot of thought to what people say. I read, listen to, and think about other people's opinions all the time. Some of them are pretty well thought out and definitely something to think about. However, none of the things I have read, or anything I have seen has convinced me that my belief is wrong. I trust God and believe in his Word, the Bible. Faith is the key, and fortunately, or unfortunately for some, my Faith is unshakable. Thanks for the question, and have a great day.

I can understand to an extent. I used to be Christian and I thought no one could ever change my mind or take me away from God... well, no one really took me away from God, because I still believe devoutly in a Higher Power, but I'm glad I actually began to listen to other people, because they did give me a chance to thinik about things I'd never otherwise heard or considered.
Some Christians I have known are open-minded, and will listen and learn, but still remain Christian and hold fast to their beliefs. I respect that. Some realized that there's more than one path, like me, and I respect that too.

properly, in case you could "communicate" your self into something, in case you could communicate your self into something (something), then you definately may additionally communicate your self out of something only as rather. in spite of if, in case you be responsive to something exists (something - a tree, a e book, a individual, God, something) - then it relatively is plenty diverse. I even have observed God looking after me a million situations! i does never flow back to disbelief. faith is nearly a small seed it relatively is planted and grows as much as adulthood - it the two grows or it withers - no in between on that! The Lord's Mercy and Justice IS genuine! it relatively is a entire replace of innovations and it has to do with an awakening of spirit - a metamorphosis inwardly that brings outward replace and continual concept :0) i'm hoping that helped! Sceptisism can unquestionablypersistent away genuine love and records while completed surely on the cost of love and records (while blended with incorrect needs that don't convey approximately fact) - our hearts would be so annoyingly inconsistant and cut loose fact and from the devine - it does value to realize the devine however the cost is a tactics, a tactics under what's acheived - no discomfort, no benefit. there's a objective to this existence and love that comes from the devine (the source of love, expertise, grace, and mind-blowing possibility)! Salutations!

One thing made me question my belief. Why would God punish a person for eternity because they chose the wrong religion. According to the Bible, if you don't believe in Jesus, then your going to hell. I don't see how a just God could send a person to hell for this reason when there is no way to know for sure if Christianity is the right religion. Religion is not based on reason.

No, you can not cause me to question my faith. However, my prespective has changed from time to time due to serious discussion. Unfortunately, most of what I see here is not discussion, it is attack.......
There are many questions that can't yet be answered (some of them are my own), but that does not discourage me. I can't PROVE my faith, simply live it. Afterall faith is the belief in things not yet seen.

If you can prove to me Jesus had sex with 9 year old girls (or boys for that matter) I'd become an atheist 1, 2, 3.
If ALIENS came and proved with videos they created life on Earth and I felt good about what proof they had, I might change my views.
Short of that, no.

Nope. Its called faith. I like to look at things from other peoples perspectives, but when it comes down to it I really don't care it doesn't affect what I think...Plus no one seems to be able to prove anything 100%....They find more and more artifacts to prove my Bible "stories" every year..so that seems good to me =) But thanks for the question.
