How Many Christians On This Site?

<font color="green">So God takes Jobs family and everything he had, just to see if he'd keep his faith, then when he did he was awarded "twice as much as he had before"... Good lesson /sarcasm

Keep up the good fight, brotha

Atheism > Christianity

This dudes post illustrates that point.

It merely illustrates the obvious that mankind has attempted to play God throughout history, and continues to do so at a more expedient and 'advanced' rate.
But "by all means"....continue to use every last source of your energy to make that redundant point.

I'm in about as far as I can get but my Christian faith is based on what I've learned in science and how that reconciles with my experiences of my life. I wouldn't recommend Christianity to anyone unless it suits them.

So this is how it went right?

I am going to create man and woman and condemn them with original sin. Then I am going to impregnate a woman with myself so I can be born into this world. Once here I am going to sacrifice myself to myself, to free you of the original sin I condemned you with. Crazy to say the least.

 

[whitewidowlover]

I am a Christian! Praise Jesus!

......naa, a little bit more like, I am going to simply 'create'.....beauty---period, point blank. And I'm going to give them the option of choosing from that which is wholesome and pure or that which is heinous and despicable.

If you don't have the choice between the two, you are only but a robot. Who needs robots?

By God coming "in the flesh"........living as we do, yet with "the knowledge of God".....and at the same token, being privy to sin for having been "in the flesh"......serves as the perfect token of God's affection to 'the man.'

We, as people, are ALWAYS asking, even if only indirectly, for our loved ones to sacrifice on account of us as individuals. He does it for us ALL.......it's awesome knowing His love.

i disagree. you have been decieved. open your mind and consider all the evidence.
religions are cults. man made. like cancer. stop wasting your time following a man made cult based on fear. one day mankind as a species will get over all this religion nonsense, be ahead of the game. please.

One could say the same to the non-believer and be equally correct.
Perhaps you might "open your mind" and consider that others on this forum have had radically different life experiences from you and that to me God is reality.
It is possible my friend.

 

[carl.burnette]

I am.

Although, according to Rev Daddy (yes, he;s really a pastor) I suck

then you need some help. oh and some evidence.
which god though ? there are so many to choose from these days. which flavour do you prefer ?
tell me of your radical life experiences, i am intrigued.

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

I decline to debate this with you for two reasons.
1) The OP has specifically asked for no debate on the subj.
2) If I felt you were truly in search of an alternative viewpoint from your own I would be happy to share my views with you, however your initial statement, and those that followed show a callus disreguard for others views/beliefs.
Please show me how these statements can be called anything other than derogatory, disrespectful and inflammitory?
"Hes not the messiah, hes a very naughty boy."
"you have been decieved. open your mind and consider all the evidence."
"stop wasting your time following a man made cult based on fear"
"get over all this religion nonsense"
"then you need some help"
"which god though ? there are so many to choose from these days. which flavour do you prefer ?"

The pattern of your posts indicate to me you don't really want to debate/share ideas, you simply wish to make yourself feel superior by debasing another, and I can see no positive outcome in that so have a nice day & may God bless you and your family.
Out.

Postscript, Interesting Avi you have there BTW. Are you aware that in some regions of Italy and Sweden the lady bug is called boarina del Signor, or Shepherdess of Christ ?
Peace

I've been deceived? .....won't respond by laughing or crying at that ridiculous notion.
"Evidence" shows us mortal man that the CANCER being CREATED, amongst numerous-- if not ALL diseases, has been created by.....YOU GUESSED IT.......MAN.

Pssst......condescending tones will get you nowhere with me.

 

[budlet]

i cant seem to post a reply. maybe i have been banned from this thread.
it was not my intention to offend anyone, if i have then i am sorry.
i may have posted my opinions on the wrong thread and for that i apologise.
i think i will start my own thread to continue this debate you are both invited to contribute.

interesting point on the lady bug, i like them because they eat spider mites.

 

[budlet]

ahh, its working now.

 

[Michael Phelps]

Not a christian although i do believe in alot of christian belief's, just in a much different way, a way that's considered blasphemy by most but still live and let live.. Do what makes you happy and comfortable..

 

[Padawanbater2]

Do what makes you happy and comfortable..

Couldn't agree more MP.

But how bout we add the caveat - ..at the expense of others.

Then how would you feel? (rhetorical)

 

[Kurinshin]
