| If you had God in the room with you...
Posted: 1/23/2005 12:10:42 AM | I would first point out a minor hypricosy on his part...i.e:He's guilty of at least 2 of the seven deadly sins.(Vanity and Jealousy)There's probably more, but I stopped reading after that part.
And then I'd tell him, if this planet and it's people are an example of his BEST work..."I'm not impressed".A retail clerk with a bad attitude could have done a better job. Your in time out till you decide you want to fix your mistake.

Posted: 11/18/2005 10:36:24 AM | I would ask IT to justify the development of separate religions on our planet, if IT has power over individual will, why did it see fit to shatter the population of our planet into so many groups with beliefs that dictate that they must either ignore, discredit, or convert individuals of differing beliefs
I would ask it if he intended for us to get as far as we have, cognitively, or whether he had intended for us to remain mentally stagnant from the time of christ to now. I would ask him if he really had a direct hand in the publication of the bible, the Koran, or any religious teachings in general.
If I had god in the room with me.... I would lock the door, it can't leave until I'm done with my questioning

She/He would just giggle at me.
Then, She/He would tap Her/His foot, cross arms and tilt head with that what's your question look.
Gathering my wits (these are lost brain cells), I would say something like, "Nice weather you've ordered up for the day". "Shall I make travel plans for this afternoon?" "How's Jesus?" and then on to more current events... "What would YOU like for Christmas?"

1- The tower of Babel, read Gen 11
2- We are to as christines spread the good news of Jesus, no one comes to the father but by him. Now if you were God and you knew there was only one thing that would help you ppl would you not want it spread? | |

Posted: 11/18/2005 11:07:53 AM | | I was raised christian, through and through, I know the story of the tower, although it specifically only refers to a division of language, not of faith (although I suppose that could be open to interpretation, like the rest of the bible, although interpretation of it in that manner is only opening another floodgate: why did god split us into separate religions, and why is this referred to in the scriptures), and you didn't asnwer my question, why did it see fit to design each religion with the inbuilt intention to exclude all other's from their vision of heaven. (once again, barring obvious examples of naturally tolerant religions) | |

Posted: 11/18/2005 11:21:17 AM | He diddnt make religion. He said this is how it is (to make it short) and then as time whent along ppl said you know I dont think God meant that so I think this is ok. And latter when Constantine needed more ppl for war he mixed the christins with the pagans and then that turned into the catholic church, then from that you have Luther and Calvin and Knox the formers and all the protestant churches sprang over many years from there.
But God said there is one Lord one faith and one baptism, so there is only one.
the above is a quick overview, I suggest that one should search and study it out on there owne it is a fascinating study. | |

Posted: 11/18/2005 12:15:40 PM | | Right.... so you're one of the ones who would honestly say, that every individual who is not part of your church, is going to hell, no matter how kindly their lives were lived, no matter how upstanding they were (in a christian sense)? If you answer yes to this, then there's no point in continuing an argument, because you're not open to any other opinion but your own | |

Posted: 11/18/2005 12:20:51 PM | | I never said my way was right or wrong. No MAN can judge another. God knows what he wants us to do, some do it some dont and some will before they die. If God is the same yesterday today and tomarro its sounds to me like there is only one way. HIS. | |

Posted: 11/18/2005 12:34:33 PM | Egyptians created the first documented idealized idea of the soul, and built a belief system around it long before Christians did, 3500 years before he came around, actually
By the fact that you're using the bible for your ammunition is proof that you only believe in christianity, and in saying that you are judging another man, ever man who isn't part of your beliefs.
A truly forgiving christian god, benevolent, wise, omniscient, and omnipotent, would, I would think, forgive an individual for turning their back on christianity as an institution due to the atrocities it has been responsible for in the past, and the tendencies it displays in positions of power. You can't deny that individuals have used religious beliefs to further their own influence and greed, not to mention desires and

What qualifies you to make this remark, you can't say god is ever the same, and regardless of that, his changes or lack thereof don't indicate in any way that there "is only one way" If anything, by means of all the different religions and stories in the bible, there isn't only one way, there are many ways to live a good life without any need for supreme guidelines | |

Posted: 11/18/2005 12:44:06 PM | | Nick Nac- you bring to light an important point, one that always bothered me about the more fundamentalist perspective. In one breath they say that god is too magnificent and mysterious to understand, and in the next they presume to tell us his intentions and objectives. There's something very hypocritical, vain and self serving about a person saying I love you, god loves you, you are my brother and have fun burning in hell all in the same breath. The idea of a god who would damn souls to eternal suffering simply for not accepting his existence seems more resonant with the secular agendas of politics, sociology and human psychology than it does with an all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful entity. | |

Posted: 11/18/2005 1:07:02 PM | "That is a teaching of man."
That was kind of my point, but I was not aware that it says that nowhere in the bible. I don't recall seeing it specifically, but I'm sure there's a lot I don't recall from reading it. I pretty much took the fire and brimstone crowd on their word. I have a creeping suspicion someone might make a post contradicting that with a passage though. I'd be curious to see if anyone can. | |
