    Can Christians go Naked?

    Hi Frank, You do not have to convince me of the atrocities committed by Christian's and atheists alike, however, you are using Christianity as your example to follow, rather than Christ. Christian's are encouraged to live a Christ centered lifestyle and to avoid treading the same paths that...

    Can Christians go Naked?

    You must be aware that is a pretty weak analogy. If you had said that Christ was pole dancing then His example must be emulated, however, a random person in Texas is a poor example to use on all so many levels. Do you think that God will compliment her on her pole dancing skills on judgement...

    Can Christians go Naked?

    There is a fundamental problem with your scenario. The consequences dictate that It is not acceptable for you to run around naked together, and to be honest, you are, probably without realising it, trying to justify your actions by saying that it has no “sexual connotations”. Of course, it does...

    Good Christians

    Do you worry over what others think of you? Do you sometimes say or do things to draw attention to yourself? Do you replay conversations in your mind, wondering if you left the right impression? If so, you might be struggling with the vice known as vainglory. To sing ones own praises is a sin...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    Well, strictly speaking, Adam did not solely break Gods laws. God instructed Adam and Eve to go forth and multiply and replenish the earth, although neither had a clue as to how they were going to do that. Procreation was never a need as we had always existed prior to this, like energy can not...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    God is perfect . I am sorry that you think that. It was not my intention, however, I am still striving. No, I made a suggestion, I did not state a fact or assume anything. If you take a trip to Sherwood Forrest you will find a plaque there that tells you that Robin Hood did not exist...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    The problem here is that of interpretation. My interpretation may be way off in your eyes, however, it works for me and fits in perfectly. To be perfect is to exist without sin, to be sinless. Something that is an impossibility since Adam left the Garden of Eden. The scriptures tell us that no...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    Then why does He tell us in the scriptures · Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. to be perfect. Christ atoned for our sins, which means that at the judgment bar His atonement can bridge the gap between perfection and imperfection. If the atonement does bridge...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    Yet you do not believe in God so you cannot believe in His book. You, therefore, can not use a lie to prove another lie is true. Isn't that an oxymoron. . Anyway, I have to again question your understanding of Scripture and their intended purpose. The Bible is, in my opinion, the literal word of...

    You speak of fictitious characters where as God Lives

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    You may not know it, but you are, of course, very wrong. The only difference here is the circumstances and the diference between reality and a principled allegory. The exemplum you refer to entailed the most wicked and evil people that can be imagined. God had warned them many times to change...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    Have you not heard of tough love. It is a method used worldwide by good parents to raise their children. If you think he sucks than it would be interesting to know what standard you base your opinion on? It seems like there is nobody that you can compare Him with. The events in scripture that...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    Jesus and God to be the same being? Absolutely not.

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    Good is perfect, therefore, it may seem like he is being cruel and unfair, however, if you could see what He sees you would see that He is a God of pure unconditional love What is the difference between human love and love from deity? Jesus Christ, the son of God, atoned for our sins, because...

    If you have read the bible, what primary lesson did you learn?

    That the Bible is unique to the person reading it, thus, different verse can have many interpretations.

    Christianity Has Had No Effect Whatsoever On Human Morality

    I keep coming across this statement whilst browsing the forum as though I am being prodded by it, so I have to ask you for some clarification. 1. Are you saying that the text condones slavery or the interpretation of the text, which is oft time inaccurate, condones it. 2. As the Bible is...

    Christianity Has Had No Effect Whatsoever On Human Morality

    I never looked upon the Bible stories and allegories as being instructions for us to follow, on the contrary, more to avoid. Acts of immorality in its pages primarily demonstrates a cause and effect scenario where a loving God is demonstrating to His children the consequences of sin. Though...

    The ONLY religious question!

    I am not sure how you have drawn this conclusion from my words. I never said that I cannot find Christ in a congregation of people, who all fall short of the glory of God, although there are plenty of better sources. I said that I do not need it to be converted to a follower of Christ. That is...

    Open minded skepticism

    To have absolute, unquestionable knowledge that there is a continuation of our consciousness after we die is a mystery for which mankind has sought the answer to from the dawn of creation. Our insatiable thirst to have every question answered has created some very unusual mindsets of beliefs in...

    The ONLY religious question!

    It was Jesus who put himself forward as the Saviour of mankind. He atoned for our sins and bleed, died and was resurrected so that we may do the same. It is to Him that we owe the debt, by His actions we will be saved, therefore, anything we do is rightly in His name as the only mediator...
