I sayz, "ORLY?" RLY?

ORLY?

he was joking...

then you must not have read it clearly, or you were taught wrongly... Christians don't go to heaven because of sin... that was the whole point of Jesus' existence... "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is through Jesus Christ..." Romans 6:23... or i'm sure you've heard this one... "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16

look up the Jewish historian Josephus, and the Roman historian Tacitus.

i take it you haven't read the Bible... but... if you sin, and you are a Christian, you aren't going to hell... its called repentance... that doesn't give me free reign to run around and hack people up with a chainsaw though... the goal is to become a better person, and to not commit the same sins over and over again... we are human, we cannot be perfect.

and yes, He does love me... He also loves you and everyone else on this planet.

did you want me to alter the truth and say, "rabbinical writings say he was nailed to a cross?" i didn't write their books... my point was that he was accounted for in many different writings around the time he was on earth...

i take it that common sense isn't your strong suit.

I define God as an omnipotent, omniscient and loving being who created the universe. I was merely trying to prove that there is a significant other-wordly being who had a hand in our existence, rather than everything merely just "happening."

hmm.. you realize that there are more writings about Jesus that came from around the same era right? I guess you don't believe in Roman history either though, right? it is even documented in Jewish rabbinical writings that Jesus was hung for heresy...

for a sin that didnt really take place? really? everyone in society is flawless and free of evils? oh ok. i'm assuming the next thing you're going to come at me with is that Jesus wasn't real.

ok, you want proof that there is a God? Look at your eyeball... or your fingerprints... or even the fact that we have higher understanding than every other creature on this planet...or what about your intestines? do you know how long they can stretch out to be? what about the fact that if the earth wasn't on the exact axis that it currently spins, survival would be impossible? or what about the fact that our planet is the only planet to contain life and that if we were closer to the sun we would burn, further we would freeze? do you really want me to go on? look at life around you!

i absolutely believe in micro because it is 100% proven scientifically, macro has not... there are many flaws. if it was 100% proven, i would 100% believe in it... until then, I have my doubts... is there anything wrong with that?

oh and to the kid quoting Genesis... the Bible is not always to be taken by it's literal written meaning... again i'll bring up the 7 day theory... even I don't take that literally, along with many other Christians... in the Bible it says that a blink of the eye to God is as long as a lifetime... is that literal? maybe, maybe not...

why don't we take a look at the fact that carbon dating is severely flawed past 40-50,000 years? how can you tell if something is 2 billion years old when your practices are flawed...

yes... and he sent is son to earth for us so the old practices would no longer be necessary... instead of us sending him sacrifices, he sent his son to absolve our sins.

yes... I never said it wasn't the same God... God sent His son as a means of obtaining salvation and to do away with Old Testament procedures.

... you are really thick headed arent ya? I absolutely believe evolution was possible, but the evidence provided is riddled with holes... there, that is my reasoning. why dont you fully read what I write instead of just hitting the quote button.

Not only me, but everybody else would have no road to salvation... well, no easy road that is (read Exodus and Leviticus to see what life would be like without Jesus).

As for the Romans, I really have no place to be thanking them... after all, it was God's plan for Christ to be crucified... it just so happened that the Romans were the ones to follow through with His plan.

who gives a rats ass? he didn't believe it proved his theory so that should give you a little hint... if Jesus Christ, while dying on the cross, said he wasn't really God's son who would even follow Christianity?

yes, i know how God created man and I know that woman was created from the rib of man... i also, in a previous post, told you that Christianity is not a scientific belief... it is a belief of faith. I have no physical evidence of how He created the Earth, which is why I have repeatedly said that I am not denouncing the idea of evolution... if my God can do absolutely anything, to say that he couldnt have used macroevolution would be to contradict myself.

why do you people keep overlooking and purposely twisting what I say? YES EVOLUTION WAS POSSIBLE... do I need to put it in all caps? I'm just like every one of you out there, seeking the truth. Does it piss you off that much that I question a theory that is riddled with holes? You all can think I'm a close minded Christian, but that is far from the truth. Why is it that only Christians are close minded? what about all you evolutionists out there that are closing your mind to the thought of an omnipotent being? that right there would be the definition of close-mindedness.
