    Does it matter?

    Thank you , I appreciate that. But why so many recent ones that just seem to be saying the same thing? I understand that the King James version can be a little difficult to read, and the need for a newer translation or two to fit the times since then, But there are just so many contemporary...

    Does it matter?

    Well the version you quoted is using some past tense words such as "have had" and "stood". And in Romans 3:23, it uses the phrase "For all have sinned", which is also past tense but can also refer to present tense and future tense (referring to humankind) The second sentence after "For all...

    Is Religion More About Community than About Belief for Most People?

    I think Corynski's point was valid. According to Jesus, (and also very much to his disciples and followers), following God is more important than following people/culture. And since family are usually the ones that we are the closest too, and have the most influence in our lives, Jesus was...

    Vastness of Space Suggests There Is No Almighty Creator

    Wait..your winking...I could've sworn that was a wink.. Your Deity is everything? But what exactly is he? Wouldn't it just make more sense to not believe in a deity at all? Your deity doesn't measure up with reality. It created a universe with people, animals, living things with emotion, the...

    God and His Criteria for Forgivness

    Well becoming a Christian involves a completely repentant heart. Most people who make a sincere conversion to Christianity do so not because they like the idea of heaven so much as they feel deep inside, the pain of sin and the desire to be cleansed from it. Most Christians will tell you that...

    Vastness of Space Suggests There Is No Almighty Creator

    Yes, I got the first part about the left handed path religions, but I was confused about the rest because I guess I don't view them as religions, but only folk lore/ mythology. How can you compare folklore or even worshipping a Pharoah or emperor who was a tyranical human being, to the creator...

    I'm not really sure what your trying to say . I'm not trying to be offensive, I'm just trying to get a better idea of what you're saying and how it relates to what we've been discussing.

    Is Religion More About Community than About Belief for Most People?

    I see this often in churches, where although I believe many or most people are there because they do have a genuine belief, it can sometimes become more of a social event over wanting to really learn, worship or be fed spiritually. This is not everyone of course. I tend to be a loner and at the...

    Vastness of Space Suggests There Is No Almighty Creator

    Yes, perhaps some people might think this way, but the religions you are talking about teach that we are our own gods, or can attain our own Godship without any kind of genuine dependency on a creator who made us. They teach that we can do this on our own, completely and in this lifetime...

    Vastness of Space Suggests There Is No Almighty Creator

    Ok, but if God is saying we are made in his image, it wouldn't be arrogance on my part. I don't think anybody would come up with that claim on their own, I certainly wouldn't have.

    Ha..I thought about that afterwards (in re: to your emoticon). ..but you have to admit, his round eyes can be taken as more than just a smile. Maybe this choice of emoticon tells me about you too. (You like to keep people guessing??..just teasing (maybe..). Hmmm, Christianity makes much more...

    Vastness of Space Suggests There Is No Almighty Creator

    But what if we are special as the human race and God wants good things for us? It starts with individuals making decisions about what they think is truth ..it doesn't matter whether there are masses of them or not. Its not a members only club..anyone can join. By the way, I can't tell if your...

    Thank you, but God kinda shopped for me when I really didn't want to be wrapped up in a nice pretty package.Haha. Why would you think it would be arrogant to have a good thing?

    Does it matter?

    Are you saying that the meaning in Romans 5:2 contradicts the meaning in Romans 3:23 (and one has to be a lie?) I just want to understand your question before I give my answer.

    Vastness of Space Suggests There Is No Almighty Creator

    Excuse me for butting in here, but if you feel it's important that you are simply a "part of it all", but that what or who you are a part of doesn't give a rats @$#! about you, what's the importance of you being a part of anything?

    Vastness of Space Suggests There Is No Almighty Creator

    @ Shadow wolf: Why would God "limit" himself to one form? I guess because he chose to . Why would that make him less of a Creator? Maybe he's confident enough in who he is? I'm not really sure what the meaning is behind that question. Humility can be a genuine quality if we don't take credit...
