I just talked with a Christian who actually believes the miracles and stories of the Bible are actually TRUE!! He claims to actually talk to Jesus, etc...
Can you believe it!?
None of my friends (we claim to be Christians because our parents called themselves Christian) can believe it either!
I mean, come on! There's no such things as miracles, virgin births, etc. Who, in their right mind would take that stuff literally!>?
And they said that Jesus was more real to them than I was?!?
Are these people nuts? I said, "OK, Where is he? " and he said that Jesus was inside his head!!!
Why would people choose to believe literally, things that just do not make any sense whatsoever? Don't people understand delusion - and how it seems very very real??

You deny the Son of God. The reason is because you are of that spirit that is the enemy of God called the spirit of the antichrist.
1 Cor. 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

I believe the stores are real and true. I have seen and experienced miracles with my own eyes. I do hear His voice too. You become a Christian by asking Jesus into your heart. You do not automatically become one because your parents are. I understand what you are saying, it is hard to believe, but you need to experience it for yourself. To a Christian, Jesus is more real than another person, because we have a real relationship with Him. He becomes our very best friend. I did enjoy your question, keep asking.

I also believe the BIBLE and all that is in it. Why do you claim to be a Christian? Just because your parents claim to be Christian does not make you one!
There are miracles in the BIBLE. They were witnessed by many people and documented.
To us they are miracles, but to GOD they are everyday stuff.

OK first thing- you cannot call your self a Christian just because your parents are Christian. It is something you personally you have to believe in.
Being a christian means you accepted Jesus Christ... as your lord and Savior. (that you believe he is real and he died on the cross for your sins)
some things in the bible are true some are symbolic... like what we call the parables are m fictional stories.. but the virgin birth is real, and all the miracles are real. And I'm sorry if you do not believe..
as for this man saying Jesus was in his head... I've never heard someone say that but if you meet a christian that says they have Jesus in their heart they usually mean they believe in Jesus and they have accepted him as their lord and savior...
and I'm not trying to tell you what you believe but when you say "I claim to be Christan" that leads me to believe that you really aren't, please read this link for more information about Christians.

12 And this Anti-Christ, whose name was Korihor, (and the law could have no hold upon him) began to preach unto the people that there should be no Christ. And after this manner did he preach, saying:
13 O ye that are bound down under a foolish and a vain hope, why do ye yoke yourselves with such foolish things? Why do ye look for a Christ? For no man can know of anything which is to come.
14 Behold, these things which ye call prophecies, which ye say are handed down by holy prophets, behold, they are foolish traditions of your fathers.
15 How do ye know of their surety? Behold, ye cannot know of things which ye do not see; therefore ye cannot know that there shall be a Christ.
16 Ye look forward and say that ye see a remission of your sins. But behold, it is the effect of a frenzied mind; and this derangement of your minds comes because of the traditions of your fathers, which lead you away into a belief of things which are not so.
17 And many more such things did he say unto them, telling them that there could be no atonement made for the sins of men, but every man fared in this life according to the management of the creature; therefore every man prospered according to his genius, and that every man conquered according to his strength; and whatsoever a man did was cno crime.
18 And thus he did preach unto them, leading away the hearts of many, causing them to lift up their heads in their wickedness, yea, leading away many women, and also men, to commit whoredoms—telling them that when a man was dead, that was the end thereof.

Yes it's true.
We believe because we have seen miracles in our own lives, for one thing. :) You have to believe to see miracles.
