Re: Homosexuality

And why do Christians protest homosexuality so much, It is literally mentioned 1 time in the new testament (correct me if I’m wrong), why do we not protest liars, thieves. and divorcees as much as them? I mean divorce is mentioned many times in the new testament but yet their are no extreme christr...

Re: Why is "Perfection" so important in the Bible?

I am reading it... and I see what I consider to be my greatest evil- Perfectionism. Why is being perfect so darn important in the bible? Why can't God be an imperfect being who makes mistakes? Why can't Jesus? What is so wrong about being imperfect? Being "perfect" or rather considered pe...

Re: Do you ever feel helpless against atheists?

I am going to tell you something that may change your life. (That I tell other Christians as well as Atheists who try to do the same thing!) Do you like it when Atheists come here and try to convert you? If yes, then you must just like arguing with them right? Or are you genuinely interested in wha...

Re: When sharing the gospel with people..

I would say the best way to share the gospel with people is to simply live life as a Christian. They'll only accept what you say when they want you to say it. It's like Inception. If you simply live an awesome intelligent Christian life that isn't extremist, but is what Jesus wants you to do, you ma...

Do you ever feel helpless against atheists?

I'm theistic evolutionists, so when people talk about evolution it doesn't bother me too much. Now, when people start taking evolution as "proof" that God doesn't exist, that's where I start getting a bit annoyed. It gets on my nerves when atheists or anyone basically, even other Christian...

Re: Why do you believe in God?

It appears that most people turn to God out of fear that they are insignificant or that they want to continue to live forever. This is why I turned to God as well; as a 15 year old I quickly developed the realization that I am mortal. I could die at any second, and I didn't know what would happen. I...

Re: Why do you believe in God?

Thank you Silvertusk, that was exactly the type of response I was looking for: deep, touching, and insightful! Canuckster, could you be a bit more thorough? Such as what was your journey like, if any at all? I was really hoping to avoid short responses like this by including in the OP that I wanted ...

Why do you believe in God?

This is for everyone. I'm doing research on why and how people come to believe in God. If you could, please explain how you came to God in your life as thoroughly as possible, even if you've been a Christian your whole life.

Re: Discussion about near death experiences (ndes)

Going off on a slight tangent, what do you guys think happens AS we die? Like, will we feel pain? Will we instantly float up to heaven? And what does the Bible say?I was going to make this a new thread, but decided this might be better.

Scientists Supposedly Show Evolution: Single to Multicelled

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=435067

But doesn't yeast have both multicellular and single cellular properties? Maybe I'm not just understanding it. Also, the Christian mocking in that thread is unbelievable.

"The timing, the structures, the proofs, none of that has changed at all," says Camping. He is sticking to the numerology he used to determine the May 21 and Oct. 21 dates. "All I am is a humble teacher. I search the Bible. I search the Bible," he says. http://www.huffingtonpost...

Revelations Not Foretelling the Future?

So my friend has been taking theology classes at his catholic school, and he decided to discuss with me what Revelations was really talking about. He piqued my interest when he first stated, "Yeah, did you know Revelations wasn't really telling the future." He went on to tell me on how it ...

Re: About this whole rapture thing...

Where exactly did this idea sprout up? Who's the mastermind? The atheists are already using this movement as an example of Christians being stupid and cheated out of their money so what do you guys think? This is what's upsetting me the most about this whole thing. We're always grouped together wit...

The Trevor Project "It Gets Better" Gay Campaign

As you may have seen or been aware of recently, there's an "It Gets Better" Gay campaign. It's really hard for me to describe how I feel toward it. On one hand, I really feel for the pain and hurt the gay community feels, but on the other I do not agree with a lot of their ways. I support ...
