I do not believe in God-I am not intimidated by the threat of HELL eternal to believe in this creator of yours. But I despies any religion that THREATENS as a means to control. Now Christianity not only uses this THREAT but it also promises PARADISE for all of those that compky. Imagine Heaven if you will. Everybody just like you all praising Gods name in glorious Hallelujahs. Ever been BORED in Church. Well imagine CHURCh for all eternity because that is the way your Heaven is described. All day everyday praising your Creator. No sex no drinks, angels playing frisbee with their halo’s-OH BOY! really back to the Q:Do you believe in God because of what he has promised you or do you believe in him because you want to?
Of course I would’ve preferred to type it as a ‘10 year old instead’, but that would be a violation of answers forum! It’s sad that I’ve post 952 question in all, but now only 719 of them remains (rest removed or didn’t show up).
I am! Tell me your views. For Christian and others, I’m saving sex for marriage for God. Anyone else?
And please don’t do no bashing on Christianity and God. I’ve already seen ENOUGH of that.
Yeah, I’ve been wearing a Purity ring for three years now!
It is tough for me too but I’m trying!
He started going to a Apostolic Pentecostal church a couple years ago and its brainwashed him. How do I bring him back to the Catholic Church? How do I get him out of that brainwashing church?
CATHOLICS ANSWER ONLY, PLEASE.
How do you get someone to come to the church after being this?
<b>Apostolic Pentecostalism; The Cult of Christianity</b><br>Not all religions are cults but when emotional manipulation is used to recruit members it definitely starts to fall into that category. You can read here the methods the Apostolic Pentecostal use to build their cult empires.<br><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/221631/apostolic_pentecostalism_the_cult_of.html">http://www.associatedcontent.comarticle/221631/apostolic_pentecostalism_the_cult_of.html</a>
Ok so I kind of have questions, or rather challenges to arguments against gay rights and using the bible as evidence.
1). Often times people say that they just want to keep the definition of marriage the same. But historically we have changed it quite frequently. I mean, before you parents got to choose who you could marry and they also had polygamy. To get to the point where marriage is now, we had to change it. (OK so this is the question) What would be the harm of changing the definition of marriage just one more time to make it more equal?
2). OK so a lot of people are against gay marriages because they say its against the Bible. Firstly, in the new testament, Jesus never says anything condeming gay marriage, but rather just says that he wants you to marry and have kids and all that. That is no real condemtion of gay marriage. Also, the whole concept of Christianity is that man is flawed, and we can be saved through Jesus. Now, if man is flawed, and God is all that is perfect, wouldn’t that mean that our clumsy human hands that wrote the Bible make an imperfect documentation of the word of God?
3). The Bible has polygamy, so why should we trust this book with the teachings of a God that enables this immorality? I know, everyone says you can’t compare marriage customs back then, but the thing is GOD DID NOT STOP THIS in the Bible. Since he didn’t, that either means he feels it is OK or he is an enabler, thus making him imperfect.
Mike, I do not believe you answered any of my questions.
For all you guys calling homosexuality abnormal, I hope none of you are religious, which is a far worse mental state. Or is ignorance the norm?
Yes i did see Chuck and Larry, that was so awesome. I felt sorry for that guy because people thought he was the cathcher : D
What would happen if you found yourself dead?
Your heart just stopped beating, your spirit rises out of your body and you then seen into the realm of the spiritual world but it wasn’t Angels or a light at the end of a tunnel but what you saw were two beings, they were both laughing and they told you to come with them..You followed them down this long hallway and you didn’t know where they were leading you, now being hurried, they aren’t laughing any longer, instead, they are getting hateful..they start pulling you faster and faster, they begin to cuss and swear and mocking you. You try to pull back but to no avail, you start fighting them but they are more stronger. They begin screaming at you, pushing you, hitting you until at last, you break free only to fall into a bottomless pit of watery flames. You yourself start yelling, "OH, MY GOD, I AM REALLY HERE! i’M IN HELL! OH NO GOD! The reality of the the flames of hell engulf your very soul. No matter which way you turn, no matter which way you move, you cannot escape. The very air you breath is nothing but fiery flames and you are tormented.The flames grow hotter and hotter. There is no water to cool your tongue. There is no shelter to swim to, no place of rest. You find the first instance you are there, it is a never ending cycle of burning, misery and pain. It was never nothing you had ever experienced before. You hear people around you crying and screaming. "God I AM SORRY! HAVE MERCY! You hear voices that sound like people you once knew but in your own torments it is not important. You try to think, you then recall a time when a man approached you telling you of a man named Jesus, OH GOD THE BURNING, you continue to recall that the man was telling you have to be saved, PLEASE GOD HELP ME! the man voice become much clearer telling how much Jesus loves you..Yet You began rebuking him. "There is No God! Christianity is for Fools! That’s it! JESUS! HELP ME! JESUS HAVE MERCY! But you hear nothing.. No one comes to your resue! The words are now echoing in your memory…"There is no God…Christianity is for fools! There is no God! PLEASE GOD NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING TO ME! I was a good person, so if I didn’t believe in Jesus. I didn’t kill no one. I didn’t rob banks. So what if I drank? My marriage was on the rocks anyway, I needed a companion even if it was only for one night. I wasn’t hurting no one but myself! OH< Jesus, Please get me out of here!! Again, NO ANSWER! The flames, the misery continues, the crys, the anguish of the soul never ending, never a way out. There is no clocks, there is no time…Ever!
The time is now…Before you die to receive Mercy…To receive Christ…To escape everlasting torment and damnation. Hell was not created for mankind but you can willfully go there by dying and dying defiled by sin. Jesus says, He that believes in me, shall never see death….Don’t you think it’s TIME?
