Question for you, Moviefan:
Were adam and eve the first humans?
Were adam and eve the first humans?
Yes.Matt Murdock said:Were Adam & Eve the first humans?
Why is it deemed idiotic for someone's allegiances to lie outside this world? I can honestly say that I know God. I use the word "know" rather than "believe" deliberately. Mere belief allows for the possibility of doubt, but a person can gain knowledge of God through His Word, faith, and personal experiences with the Holy Spirit. Just because the world deems such knowledge pointless or impossible, doesn't make it so."You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways."
An alcoholic is often comforted by his booze; a rapist in forcing his sexuality onto others against their will. A murderer can find comfort in killing other people, while a drug addict finds similar results with his addiction...yet all these behaviors are inherently destructive. Rejection of Christ as Savior does the exact same thing on a spiritual level. People may find comfort in it, but eventually, it will destroy them."I choose to believe that the white light people sometimes see... they're all just chemical reactions that take place when the brain shuts down.... There's no conclusive science. My choice has no practical relevance to my life, I choose the outcome I find more comforting.... I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test."
Some folks just want to rage endlessly against the truth, that's all. And what's more, true Christians become the target for every swear word in modern vocabulary (and probably a few more that aren't). The haters assume that Christians blindly follow God's rules, without question, 24/7. Well, I got news for them - there's stuff in the Bible I don't understand very well, and even more stuff I border on hating completely. But in the end, I didn't make the rules; God did. If I am to follow Him, then sometimes (even though I don't like it), I choose to trust that He knows what's right, more than anyone else.Downhere said:Wow, another thread that bashes Christianity, why am I not surprised?
I feel that in tune with Jesus' beliefs, he wouldn't turn away a soul just because they didn't accept him as their savior . . . what if you were a Bhuddist? You follow the same basic ideals and values, but in a different form . . . seems to me that if you do good in life, in your own heart Jesus would want you to kick it with him . . .
What you said in bold always reminds me of the question I had years ago. Why does God create us anyways to put us through all this???
Then I realized if he and Satan do exist, they are playing the biggest 'game' of "Who can collect the most souls". I just didn't see the need for us, in God's eyes other than to be pawns in their little game.
WE ARE POKEMON FOR GOD AND THE DEVIL.
THE MEANING OF LIFE, REVEALED!
[about a girl being born with mental disabilities]
This girl is like a leper so what she needs to do is try and find god
if she really believes she can be healed from this state, she will be healed from this state
Most afflictions like this are caused by sins committed while still inside the womb. If she can repent for what she does god will embrace her and make her as human as you or me but if she chooses not to she'll always be like this
god tests every one of us [emphasis added]
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."
oh and moviefan quick question
if Noah had two of every animal aboard the ark what did he do about fish?
it was a FLOOD! the fish were quite alright
The amount of offended, insulted, and angry disbelievers all across the SHH Community boards has been proving every spiritual point I've made. Spreading the truth inherently causes division; it's sad, but it does happen, especially when someone carries a lot of repressed anger towards God for allowing a particular pain. Nothing I or any other Christian can say will answer every question anyone has. Sometimes, all you can do is trust Jesus...and if you choose not to, then you've made your choice. As much as He loves us, God will not force Himself or His ways upon anyone. He will confront people with the truth in love, but if they still choose to reject it, then so be it. He will honor their decision either way.
But, people claiming to be Christians will attempt to legislate laws to do just that.The amount of offended, insulted, and angry disbelievers all across the SHH Community boards has been proving every spiritual point I've made.

I'd be more curious about the animals that live nowhere else on Earth than a place that Noah couldn't reach. Like the Kangaroo, Platypus, among hundreds of others.oh and moviefan quick question

Sometimes I wish Jesus would come down on a cloud and punch people like Pat Robertson in the face.

Why is it that so many Christians are so unlike Christ?
