Well said, Jlay, very inspiring.jlay wrote:I used to let every announcement of such discoveries get me all bent out of shape. Then I realized that there is absolutley no discovery that could undermine what I know and have experienced about the truth of Jesus Christ.
What we have to realize is that we are fighting a spiritual war. We have a real enemy, and he comes to steal, kill and destroy. He wants to destroy your hope and your faith. And we are utter fools if we think that man's world is not the territory where this spiritual war is being fought. And so, all these 'discoveries' and such can be weapons and strongholds of the enemy. (Not to say they all are) The bible warns us that even the elect can be deceived.
Yes, some will say that God used evolution, or that he could have used evolution. They are certainly free to say that and believe it. I for one do not. In fact, I think there is good evidence to show that evolution is not merely a scientific theory, but a religious ideology that is rooted in anti-theistic thinking. And good evidnece to show that this field is not simply an innocent, benevolent, truth seeking endeavor to understand causes, but one that is riddled with deception and hidden agenda. And so you can see why I cringe when I hear Christians trying to assuage others worries about evolution by saying it can 'fit' with biblical Christianity. I am not saying someone who does accept evolution can't be saved, or even a vibrant Christian. They can and are. But to put it bluntly. I believe they are deceived. And since even the elect can be decieved, we shouldn't be surprised.
Many Christians want to reconcile their faith to what the world claims as fact and science. But the bottom line is, God sent His son, born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died and rose from the dead. This flies in the face of anything scientific. The devil has been attacking this truth, and will continue. And will use any means necesarry.
I would go so far as to say not even a little something like evolution can come between me and my faith in God. God is the author of EVERYTHING and if (and I emphasize IF) evolution was his mechanism then evolution will also testify of Him. Science, reason and faith are complementary, not contradictory as some would have us believe.Reactionary wrote:I've talked a lot about the flaws of evolution to my friends at college and they seem interested, even impressed to learn what we weren't told at our biology classes (and which goes in favour of Christianity). It may not seem so, but human lives are at stake, suicide rate has grown since evolution was introduced to schools, no wonder. That stresses the importance of joining the spiritual war even more, no compromises involved, as atheists certainly won't be looking to make any.
Well said Byblos, I love the fact that you emphasized IFI would go so far as to say not even a little something like evolution can come between me and my faith in God.

Science, reason and faith are complementary, not contradictory as some would have us believe.

So im asking how do you guys keep your faith so strong every time you learn something that is for evolution. im guessing someone will say that god may of used evolution and yer he may have but if we keep saying to every new theory yer god may have used that theory arent we just hipocrats changing our faith whenever it suits?

Are you a Satanist on a quest - what is it then ansd why are you really here?kevdog19 wrote:divine revalation is what should awaking logical people to god. Those that have never experienced god and still believe in it don't make sence to me. Evolution helps prove god in my oppinion but shouldn't be the reason one believes.
People do need to know what you believe Kevin and represent...kevdog19 wrote:Hello, my name is Kevin, I'm a practicing theistic satanist. Don't be misled, I love Christianity and Christians and next to my faith I think it is the best one and a very positive influence on the earth. It is simply my experiences that have led me to my faith. I hope to learn alot here and have some interesting debate.
-Quoted from wikipedia:
Theistic Satanism, also known as Traditional Satanism, Spiritual Satanism or Devil Worship, is a form of Satanism with the primary belief that Satan is an actual deity or force to revere or worship.[ Other characteristics of Theistic Satanism may include a belief in magic, which is manipulated through ritual, although that is not a defining criterion, and theistic Satanists may focus solely on devotion. Unlike the LaVeyan Satanism founded by Anton LaVey in the 1960s, Theistic Satanism is theistic as opposed to atheistic, believing that Satan (Hebrew: הַשָׂטָן ha-Satan, "the accuser") is a real being rather than a symbol of individualism...

How about honesty? I am being honest
Define what you mean?
"Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution.kevdog19 wrote:B. W. wrote:Typical answer…kevdog19 wrote:I'm on a quest called life and I'm here to learn from Christians.

I mean that I hope to learn all my life always expanding the power of my mind and living in accordance with my true will.
What do you intend to learn and what purpose? I don't know alot about the bible and the life of Christ, I also don't know alot of true Christians (know alot of selfish false Christians) so I have alot to learn and it's toward the purpose of expanding my worldview.
you could try not being so cynical and hateful towards someone with different views then yours, doesn't seem very Christ like to me

There is a price to pay for foolishness thinking you control a spirit (force) as though it is worshipping you - it will come back to haunt you too no end.kevdog19 wrote:no, I replied that way because you were being cynical and implied I was a liar.
Respecting Satan is the same thing as the pagans respecting and paying homage to Mars. Satan in my eyes really represents Chaos as opposed to God's order and I find Chaos more inspiring.
I don't worship Satan though it's more like I force him to obediance and make it worship me.
Worshiping anything is a waste of our energies in my oppinion, there is a much better use of our time and energy at any given time, like producing something like a product or knowledge.
