Q. Why can't some Christians, indeed other religions too, just be happy that someone believes in something? We basically all believe in the same God anyway right, just in a different way, name, form and so on.

Q. Why make someone believe in something that may not be right anyway?

That is possibly the stupidest, most pathetically shitty answer I've ever heard from a Christian. I find it remarkable when 15 year old idiots don't even have the humility to say "i don't know" and think they can provide an answer that my fucking idiotic dog would find disconcerning.

How the hell can you be stupider than my dog, Jesusfreak? I'm assuming your faith will prevent you from facing this fact, but trust me, years from now when you're depressed because your cock remains persistently limp, you will begin to question whether your faith doesn't also require some faith in hallucinogenic substances.




I lol'd, thank you.

You know whats funny though, all a person with beliefs needs to say is "Because i believe thats the truth" you shouldnt have to explain why, if someone believes in something then that should just be it. No long ass explanation on why they believe it.

I like your replies, xlooby.

It is generally understood that a prayer of faith releases god to intervene in the hurting world that on the whole rejects his intervention by its sin.

that is not an answer. But simply a made-up guess.
Well it may be a guess but even Jesus required an expression of faith before performing miracles so acts of faith would be significant factor in the relationship with GOD.

Funny thing you should ask, just the other day I was at my cousin's home to help him with a project. As we started to go back to work, some "christian types" stopped by for a visit. One thing they stated was that they didn't have divisions as other denominations did?
(Saul of Tarsus) Paul spoke (taught) that christians should not be separated in Christ => ie, I am glad that I had not baptized that they would say, I am of Paul as they had about Apollo, etc. Yet do they not separate themselves?

quote:
Note that Jesus prayed that they would not fall into such a state of being.

Some Christian see Jesus as God, (Trinity issue) while others see Jesus as the Christ. Christ being the human archetype of what christians should be => how they should live their lives.

Q: If some Christians say no sex before marraige, how come its okay for God to (just generally speaking cos I don't believe in Jesus but if so) make Mary pregnant when they weren't even married, just because he didn't "phyically" have sex with her??

Tough question & as I am not GOD, hard to answer. But one plausible reason may be that like the OT where Sara was baren till she was well beyond child bearing years, she indeed became with child. This of course was an extra ordinary event which by its nature stood out or called attention to the events & persons to which they had befallened. Another may be that like those who undergo some terrible event such as shark attacks, etc., these events because of their traumatic nature tend to extend into the subconscious as well the conscious life of those who had suffered such events. They become ingrained into the very fiber of their being so to speak.

Let me ask you something? Your statement about not believing in Jesus? If you don't mind sharing with us, just what did you mean by this statement? I asking are you saying that you don't believe that Jesus of Nazzarene (sp) ever really existed? Do you mean that you don't believe that this Jesus is the Christ of Hebrew Traditions? Are you stating that you don't believe in the Christ?

yes to all of the above



and i believe that if he did exist he wasnt the son of God with powers. Like cured the blind and make someone come alive again.

I don't believe this for a simple reason

IF Jesus did all this then i believe this was wrong.
He is messing with the life cycle of existance. You live die and thats it. Well until resurrected in a few centries or whatever.

I believe that if he did these things he shouldn't of. I think its rediculous because how come he brought back a little girl but not all the other people in the world that didnt deserve to die?

I just dont like it. He tampered with the meaning of life.

Therefore i do not believe he was really Jesus "Christ. Son of God"

Sorry just not floating my boat.

So you feel that is wrong for a healer (doctor or faith healer) to save the life or heal the sick or injuried? Hmm . . . wonder what is really troubling you about Jesus? After all when these things were supposed to happen he went to the poor, the destitute, those to whom he served were the down trodden of their society. That slavery was accepted then know that these people had little or no rights, they were considered at best a plight upon society. What he taught was these people by sharing what little they had could in fact sustain life.
Funny thing is that even in today's modern society, this remains true. The man taught great wisdom & had great understanding of human nature to be able to predict with such accuracy state of human conditions that would lead to future events. Truely an amazing human being!

I guess I can understand your opinion. I mean it is one thing for a medical practice of appling electrical shock to restart the heart but is totally different for Jesus to summon the dead from their tomb where the deceased had already started to decompose. Therefore smelled foul to begin with, on the other hand if he called for the person & the person came out?
Perhaps Jesus didn't heal the person . . . may be it was the Holy Spirit or may be even GOD, who raised the dead?
