10/9/2014 7:57:02 AM Posted: 2 years ago For proof check out my debates, and for why that is in the bible is because that is how his endless love is described in it.

10/9/2014 5:10:39 PM Posted: 2 years ago I mean, I don't doubt that somewhere in one of the two tomes it identifies God with endless love...
and we all know that there's ample evidence of him being a childish, stubborn, violent, buffoon.... It's just funny to hear the two competing aspects of the character admitted to at once, much less be said claiming those seemingly opposed set of traits being said to be one and the same thing. |

Why would anybody ask for help, and therefore want to believe in something they don't currently believe in? Asking somebody to make me believe in something is asking to be brainwashed. |

10/9/2014 7:33:26 PM Posted: 2 years ago Technically yes but my opinion on homosexuality is that is against nature but i don't try to explain it because it requires a higher wisedom to awnser that question, so i go with "what would jesus do/think"

It's clear that this occurs with the more explicit, obvious, ends of sex/gender, that is in people's physical parts... but why couldn't nature similarly wind up creating a more varied landscape of differences in the way that people naturally feel? also, as to what would Jesus do... what do you think he would he do/think ? |

10/9/2014 7:45:55 PM Posted: 2 years ago I don't want to hurt anyone who was slightly mutated at birth so i am not awnsering that. But i don't know what jesus would do so i get as close as i can.

10/9/2014 8:40:05 PM Posted: 2 years ago I just killed a man. If I go to church and confess can I be saved and never have to face punishment?

Now if you were a priest it'd be best to just say sorry and be done with it... bad PR is bad PR |

10/9/2014 10:38:43 PM Posted: 2 years ago Ladies and Gents, considering the topic of the forum post is "Christian Help", might it be possible that the exisistance/good/bad traits we would like to assign to the denomination named could be put into a different more relevant thread?
This particular topic is not asking for a debate, it would be in good taste to leave it specifically for Christians to speak with one another. Here we have an advocate for Islamic arranged marriages demonstrating that children can consent to sex. http://www.debate.org... |

If you pray for what doesn't benefit the greater good, then God can't do as you request. But if God always does what provides for the greater good, then if you pray for that, God was going to do it anyway. So does God always act to serve the greater good, or does he answer prayers?

When Jesus prayed, "Give us this day our daily bread", he wasn't asking that manna fall from heaven.
Do? I'm not sure what you mean.
I think this question is based upon false (and unstated) assumptions. |

For example his lack of detailed response to the one question that seemed to be from an actual christian seeking his perspective on christianity. |
