Ask A Christian

[Graham]

Didnt God feel the need to warn Adam and Eve about that pesky rapscallion named Satan?  Or did the two parties (adam,eve and God himself) not communicate... I wish i knew more about this religion because i know i sound dumb...Its not me being dumb just me being ignorant.

God told Adam and Eve never eat from the tree. If you ask why it was put there. Free will.

Hmm....

I don't like going to church. There's people there that ask you if you have accepted Jesus as your savior, although you already had. Sermons mainly revolve around not accepting Jesus and going to hell, and accepting Jesus and be accepted to Heaven. There's a bit of narrow-mindedness around that latter. Very few people go to hell. Even people that don't know about Jesus go to heaven, because G-d acknowleges the fact that they will come to love him in heaven.

The more I listen to these sermons, the more I lose my faith that we are all going to heaven, and the more sleepier I become. When I'm not there, I feel clean. After going to church, I feel disturbed and somewhat ruffled, like masturbation, except without the sticky stuff.

Although the bible seems fake and is seemingly created by human people with a human conscience instead of divine intervention, it was the first rule to state that we have sex to multiply.

Should I go further in this above sentence?

I still think God shoulda mentioned something about Satan and his evil-doings lol

[Captain Ben]

hmmm... if god loves everyone why did he drown everyone in that massive flood [noah/ark excluded]?

my religion teacher always dodges that one

[karmazon]

How do you feel about the Pope saying that Catholics are da best(hell motherfucking yeah) and other Christians suck ass ?

You're being the close-minded one by saying that all sermons revolve around simply scaring everyone into not going to hell.

Secondly, people go to hell if they have not accepted him. This is of course true. However, people don't automatically go to Heaven unless they are young and do not understand sin (Like, 10 year old or younger). Everyone has sinned - even all these preachers you see on TV all the time, and all the ones in churches - they have all sinned. Every single person has sinned in this world, but we need to ask Jesus to forgive us of these sins and believe in him.

And of course we need sex to populate the earth... but we have to save it for marriage.

Captain Ben: The world was corrupted and God wanted to start over - I do not have a real explanation as to why he decided to drown everyone, though...

karmazon: O_o

[mxyzptlk]

Also, people say all the time, "If you don't believe in god, You will go to hell."

If I don't believe in god, I don't believe in hell.

I believe that people should simply join the religion they feel most comfortable with, even if that is no religion at all.

Because they were doing.......crack and fapping. God is sad because they are all having orgasms by themselves.

The only big thing that the bible mentioned about satan's doings was talking Adam and Eve into eating the apple that was to be the doom of the entire descendants of humans. I'll go deeper into this in my next reply.

EDIT: I'm just generalizing here, Twistkill. Of course, there's lots more reasons to that.

I would hate to go to your church too... Don't rule out any faith due to one group. Just look around for something that feels right, most likely thats where you were suppose to be in the first place.

That is an example of Gods wrath. Something we wouldn't see happen today. This was back when God was more personal with people, in both the good and bad sense.

How do you feel about the Pope saying that Catholics are da best(hell mother****ing yeah) and other Christians suck ass ?

Inquisitions all around!

Also, people say all the time, "If you don't believe in god, You will go to hell."

If I don't believe in god, I don't believe in hell.

I believe that people should simply join the religion they feel most comfortable with, even if that is no religion at all.

I agree, however they are doing what they think is right. They are just being morons...

I guess I'm teaming up with you, †. D:

*nods*
And that is your opinion, no matter how incorrect I believe it is.
People need to realize that all religion is is opinion.

[Captain Ben]

blueninja seriously i ask a serious question and you have to make it not serious
seriously

btw guys this isn't a "I BELIEVE IN BLAH BLAH BLAH WHATEVER" thread this is a thread where you ask a christian something not say what you believe

[Blue-ninja]

Yeah, me too...

The only religion I would join is the no-religion religion. Seriously, that's a nice kind of religion: No sermons, no people around to raise their hands, no bible to read....

Edit: Translation: Man sinned. God was angry at them for not following his rules. That was a few decades before Moses carried down the Ten commandments from Mount Sinai, which to this day, still exists. The mountain.

[Twistkill]

Now you're just being silly. In fact, I think you're behavior is reminiscent of trolling... you're purposely saying how much you dislike Christianity in an "Ask a Christian" thread.

By the way, it's called Atheism. Or anti-theism, if you want a more active disbelief in God rather than a passive disbelief.

[karmazon]

Yeah, me too...

Do you realize how stupid you are?

All religion is opinion.
Opinion can't be forced.
If he doesn't want to believe in god, he is free to do just that.
There is nothing saying that if someone doesn't believe in Christianity, they are a lower being.
Except for the bible, which is kinda biased.

[Blue-ninja]

Ahhh...Atheism. Mom won't allow me to join it though, had I had the guts.

Right now, I only go to church once a month, and I try to help out here. Last time I'm posting in this thread.

[Graham]

>.> Guys don't turn this into a fight, this thread is just for curious people to poke around my mind a bit.

she..
Won't allow you to believe what you want?

It doesn't matter if you go to church or not, what matters is how you believe.

Note that I am neither condoning nor condemning atheism. I am just telling him about freedom of belief.

[Coolio]

What is the churches' position on Christians playing violent games like Soldat? I suppose it depends on what branch of Christianity you're talking about and the age the christian is.

I remember seeing some ultra-hardline 'christian guide to games' website that fully reviewed games and said why it wasn't suitable for Christians. Some of the lines were so ultra-hardline that I burst out laughing. It might have been a joke site, and if it was, they done a good job at it to make it extreme but not ridiculous.

Yes Denomination(branch) and age have alot to do with it. Age.. well thats just like any other parenting guide... don't give your 10 year old a copy of gta.. get where I am going? As for denomination... thats a tough one, some will rule out all violence, others might say its ok as long as its a figure of good fighting a figure of evil. Then it goes even deeper into how strict the church is in that denomination. Me, I just play game for fun, I did play gta a bit but I threw it away because its was boring... I didn't even get into killing anything.... This is a complicated issue to say the least, and I am neither part of a denomination nor a parent so I can't give you a 100% answer on this question, sorry. If you want me to focus on some pinpoint issue I would be glad to give you the most concrete answer I can.

what do you think of things that are commonly viewed as "non-christian" i.e. the theory of evolution?

People are looking for answers to important questions. I honestly can't blame them for looking since I wanted answers as well. I just found my answer through my Christian beliefs. I was taught evolution as a child, even when I didn't really know about creation, evolution just seems flawed to me though.

Last time we had this thread it was totally a succes. Glad to see it brought back.

Anyway,
How do you justify your beliefs compared to what others believe, say Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus etc.? I mean, how can you honestly argue that yours is the right one when everyone else believes the same about their religion just as much as you do?

Also, you believe people who rejects jesus(or in any way don't believe in him) will go to hell, yeah? Some people have never even heard of Christianity. How will they ever have the chance to 'believe' then?

Isn't it a little cowardly to for a christian to blame his bad actions on "the will of god"? I mean, shouldn't man take full responsibility for his actions?

Gram, hope I didn't offend you. You know I respect your religion, even if I don't fully understand and agree with it.

1. Again that is people looking for answers. Every religion believes a person can be truly happy only when accepting their beliefs. Mine included, however I am in no position to tell them they will never be happy in life. My position is to tell them what I believe to be true and if they don't like it, I can't make them think the way I do.

2. Yes I do believe people that deny Jesus will go to hell. However Christians believe that God put a thought to search for Him in everyone. Which is the reason I believe there are so many religions, they just found something else instead of what was meant to be found.

3. Ohh... good question. Now not everything is Gods wrath killing the wicked. Not everything is satan trying to corrupt you. To be honest to some things we will never know. However Christians are told, by God hands or not if you look at everything in the right way it can make you into a better person or it can just drive you straight into the ground if you give up. Like the song says " You see a mountain. You hear a promise, its never more then you can take."

What do you think of the new Creation Museum?

Oh, and some good comedy about it it.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB5t5fpNWCY

Well to be honest I am not going to visit it but hey I guess its a nice way for Christian parents to let their kids see the fossils and what-not in a Christian friendly way. However this will only bring up heated debates among Christians and scientists int he media... because on this subject each party tries to destroy the others logic instead of just letting people believe what they want.

Penn and tellers stand on the bible

Eh... comedians love to pick on religions... thats how its been for ages.

But isn't it unfair because God was the one who spilt us and our beiliefs. There is no way that he can get all of us back now. Because childeren born into a religion, usaully stay in that religion. A child is like a blank piecie of paper anything you write on it with pen usaully sticks and most of the time does stick, but not all the time. So what im trying to say is that why should we go to hell for something we didn't even do? Plus if God loves us why would he send us to hell. Also i'm a good person. I thought that God was a kind of a person that looks at what kind of deeds you do.
