    You have to take a look at Adam and Eve too. When God created them they did not have a corrupt nature like we do today. They were not created with the propensity to do evil. They truly had a choice whether to disobey or not. Once they sinned they passed that fallen nature down to the rest of us. That is what original sin is. you don't have to teach a child to lie, it comes naturally. Not one of us can say that we have never sinned.

    Once sin entered the human race, we were all sentenced to death.

    Rostos I said that there is a god or something out there, but it would not appear on a book full of plagiarism. (Bible)

    What is so hard to understand about it ?

    This is footage of Seagal trying to be the aggressor and chasing guys to kick their asses......It it virtually impossible for him to look tough. So his role is ALWAYS defensive.

    And just an observation of mine on your theory of Seagal would be that Jesus would have to be an agressive offensive fighter. That is if Seagal had any chance of winning. Because Seagal is strictly a defensive fighter and he will never be the aggresor, but he will catch an arm and break it.

    so many things to point why christianity is just plain stupid. here is just one example.

    lets say a person is born WITHOUT being introduced to christianity.  they are condemmed to hell becasue they have not accepted jesus christ as there savior.  why are people dammed there whole life if they are not introduced as christ as your savior?  i guess god just doesnt give a shit about these people.  or maybe god has a better life for them later lol

    Great question. The truth is, there is nothing in the Bible to substantiate this myth. The only unforgiveable sin is to deny Jesus Christ. You can't deny him if you don't know about him. What exactly happens to those who are never exposed to the truth is unknown, but surely they won't be damned for something they didn't know.

    Jesus was sent here to show us " the way".  The way how to live and treat one another.  When he said "believe in me" he meant it as believing in his principles, not necessarly believe he is the messiah. 

    When Jesus was being prosecuted by Pontius Pilate, Jesus was asked why " why do you claim your the Messiah" and Jesus responded " This is what the people have called me."  The statement by Jesus " The Kingdom of Heaven is within you" tells you all about what his message was.  Finding that joy and peace within one's ownself rather than relying on corrupt leaders to do it for you

    Can I take the softball ? lol. To the best of my knowledge, every mainstream religion of note believes this to be true, in one form or another. Christians, person, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, all of them.

    as for evolution, nothing has yet to stand up under the close scrutiny of an in depth scientific evaluation. and yet, curiously, evolutionary thought prevails in the mainstream. thus, evolutionary scientists have disposed of true science, + replaced it with philosophy + imagination. evolution has become in a sense a scientific religion.

    anyone who investigates the dna' molecule can see it is an incredible micro, digital, error-correcting, redundant, self duplicating, information storage + retrieval system, with its own inherent language convention, that has the potential to develop any organism from raw biological material which indicate that life is the result of design.

    i often travel for work and drive through the hood or very rural areas and invariably, in the poorer neighborhoods, i see shitty houses and rundown buildings but interspersed among the glaring and continuous signs of poverty, the nicest buildings by far are the churches, and there are a lot of them in these areas.  does anyone see a problem with this?

    Why does god heal cancer patients, help disaster victims, all kinds of things - but never heals amputees.

    Does god hate amputees?  Should amputees not bother praying?

    Many Christian non-Catholic churches expand and develop only to the limits of what the individual congregation is willing to allow and/or afford. I think in many cases, the same poor folks amidst the fine churches are the same ones who pooled the money to build said church. Don't go feeling sorry for them, my friend.

    Still waiting for an answer, but I'll go on with my next question assuming He did create Heaven and Earth.

    So He created Heaven and Earth....why can't He control the happenings on Heaven and Earth from a natural disaster standpoint?

    It's like Obama....gets props for everything good that happens, but gets no blame for all the bad things that happen. 

    And FYI, my sister is an RN who has been down to Haiti twice to help care for the sick and injured.  And there were plenty of people that God didn't help out.

    It is simple, the people who live around those churches have not taken personal responsiblity for their fate.  All they do is accept hand-outs.  Which, oddly enough, is what the church does. 

    And FYI, I don't doubt that many churches and the members of their congregations do good in the community.  But just think of the good they could do if they lived in poverty like Jesus and spent all of the contributions they received on others.  The Vatican?  Just think of all the money they have wasted just letting these folks live high on the hog in their own city.

    When God created them they did not have a corrupt nature like we do today. They were not created with the propensity to do evil. They truly had a choice whether to disobey or not. Once they sinned they passed that fallen nature down to the rest of us.

    ____________

    If they were not created with the propensity to do evil, why did they sin?

    Did God create them with with the ability to exercise free will knowing they would do evil just so they would be required to worship Him in order to be saved?

    How sadistic is that?

    is it true if you think about murdering a person it is the same as actually murdering a person in real life?  my preacher used to tell us that when i USED to go to church 25 years ago?  he said any immoral thoughts are ALL SINS whether you actually do it or not and you will need to be forgiven? cause if this was the case many of us would be living in a box with a preacher telling him all about our sins if we were catholic though "lol"

    Lots of sarcasm in my post....

    When someone is cured, god did it, and if they die, it was gods will.  These people NEVER have been to Haiti like your sister, and these people DO NOT have a worldview of true human suffering.

    But god never heals amputees.  Isnt that strange?  One has to conclude that god either hates amputees, or cant heal anyone.
