God Bless You ,Tribo.....

I AM A CHRISTIAN.

I have no problem with others beliefs, I just find the Christian bashing a little harsh. I tend to not speak up when someone groups ALL of us Christians together in the same group of people. Some of which I will note show a certain lack of tolerance, but please remember, not ALL of us are like that and it shows your ignorance to place a negative thought on a group of people, many of which you dont know and have failed to try to know. Some Christians or Some people might think like that but it is not ALL of us.

Thank you.

From a "god of adam abraham point of view i would have to say this - God is the creator and as such he know's "all thing's" If he felt it was necessary to destroy those in the land of promise to allow his "chosen people" ( remember he states he chose them because they were the worst example of people on the earth) to dwell there in the land of milk and honey - it was to show his might as the all powerful god he is. Do you not think that which is the creator should have the right to do as he wishes with his creation?? he gives life and he takes life as he see's fit - it is not for us to judge god but to praise him and worship him!!! If you created something that turned against your own righteous way's - would you not have the right to destroy them if you wished? God is a vengeful god to those who do what is against his will and a loving god to those who do - just as parent's scold their children god does so with us - only we have no right to take life because we cannot produce/create it - but god does retain that right!! To say or believe god is wrong in taking life as he see's fit is to say he cannot do all that he pleases which makes him less than "GOD" !!! If your going to believe in the god of the bible hen you must understand that all!! god does is in accordence with all he is - you cannot seperate out one aspect of god and make him smaller than he is - you must look at al the facet's that make up his character - he is loving,vain,vengeful,all powerful,all knowing,all present at all times and in all things.He cannot just go around killing people for no reason, nor can he love sin and allow it in his presence, he is all pure without blemish or sin. he always acts in accord with all he is and never sins because nothing he does is without balance with the rest of what he does or who he is!!

what goes on today is the same as then - it is not god doing the killing it is man and his inherent selfishness, brought about by free will however limited you may deem this to be. If man never sinned there would be no killing by god or anyone - sin - selfcenteredness is the blame here not a blood thirsty god or a non caring god, god would rather that none perish, that all would believe and follow his ways, don't blame god - blame man - that includes you as well - mankind!!

how was that

Yep that sounds about right. I've heard all of that before too. I guess you are qualified to preach it now huh?

I hope you don't expect me to buy any of that, I know you don't.

BUT here is the rational explanation:

They got to the promised land and it was occupied, much like the current day holy land. Occupied!!

The solution is simple.... Genocide.

And so begins the war in the middle east~ ~ which is still going on today ~~ in an effort to secure that whole area ~~ especially the temple mount.

Why the temple mount? That's the big secret.

The reason they want that area is because that is where the aliens (the god of Abraham was an alien) landed long ago ~~ even before Adam and Eve were brought to the earth to breed the master race in an effort to upgrade the primitive earth humans.

I think the proof lies deep under the temple mount. It is all about ancient advanced civilizations and the proof is there. That is why Israel wants control of the area and why they are using the the United States to help them secure this entire area.

They believe this is where their god will return and rule the earth from.

NONSENSE AS SALVATION

The human race will begin solving it's problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously.


If you can master nonsense as well as you have already learned to master sense, then each will expose the other for what it is: absurdity. From that moment of illumination, a man begins to be free regardless of his surroundings. He becomes free to play order games and change them at will. He becomes free to play disorder games just for the hell of it. He becomes free to play neither or both. And as the master of his own games, he plays without fear, and therefore without frustration, and therefore with good will in his soul and love in his being.

There is less tolerance for christianity than many other religions

Not.

Oh so if I go to a forum topic and say I'm a Christian I'm not going to get questioned and and my faith tested and possibly ridiculed for it. The world does not accept christianity. A muslim earlier in this room said he was a muslim and someone said, "I know a muslim" And another gave him a heart and flowers. I'm not saying thats wrong my any stretch of the imaginiation I think tolerance for people is a good thing. But I have witnessed first hand how people deal with Chrisians verses other religions. If someone said "I'm a budist." yes people MIGHT question him/her out of curiosity but his faith wouldn't be brought into scrutiny for it, and later if he got mad at someone and said something wrong he wouldn't be called a hypocrit and people say "ha some budist you are." But we as christians get that all of the time.

I agree with what your saying. I am married but getting a divorce and get ridiculed for moving on. People say I am an "adulterous" woman because I am moving on. Then if I say I am prodeath penalty I get yelled at for the whole "Let the person who has not sin cast the first stone bs. Then there are a lot of Christians that will even judge other Christians for not meeting their standards of what a Christian should be. Other people also say that with all the crap I have been through where was Christ and the Lord. It's like they scrutinize everything you do because your faith falls under the heading "Christianity"

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your divorce! I am all for moving on and I would NEVER call you an "adulterous" woman.

The above is a very good example why non-Christians are hard on Christianity. They judge other people and always seem to try to tell people how they should live their life and impose their standard upon others.

On the other hand I have never ever felt this kind of thing from a Buddist, Pagan, Wiccan, Muslim, etc. Only from Christians.

So yes, you will find that when you push, people will push back.
It is the law of cause and effect. If you are going to join the group that call themselves Christians you will feel this resistance.



No, you will be questioned and your faith will be tested and possibly ridiculed for it.

SO???

Instead of whining about it, you might ask yourself why is this happening.

The world does not accept Christianity? What world are you living in? That's bull crap. Try seeing how successful an atheist or Buddist or Muslim would be if they wanted to run for president of the United States, or even for any public office and see how accepting people are of that. People would sooner elect a black man or a woman for president than they would a person who did not proclaim to be a "Christian."

I think it is high time for an pantheist president.

Okay JB I get what you are saying. But my faith does rest with the Christian God and Jesus Christ so, how can I not be classified as a Christian?
