🙂 NO its not something our pastor told on Sunday or any other given day, but like i've said before, you tell people still will give an excuse.
oh and the heart valve, the dr. told the mad that it must be from God, my hushand was there when that happened
the little girl was a friend of ours, the cancer she stood up in church and told them of that, and the headache, was me 🙂 You can give all the excused you want but the fact remains these did take place, just as Jesus did miracles and healings. 🙂

In fact He answers that submission in the Bible where He says"Even when you are with me you will be in need." It means more than i just said but here it is applicable.
🙂 hmm Where is that found in the bible, and exactly what are you meaning ? 😉
FE> By your own admission you take the Bible literal. But how do you deal with the things that are not IN the Bible? Important things – such as how the different colours of human beings appeared after Noah’s Ark touched ground again.
Who’s being rude to you? Humour is allowed around here – Not everyone believe what you believe. Asking if “Buddhism is worshipping a statue” is ignorant at best, and rude at the worst.
And Darth has repeatedly been trying to tell you this: No one says you can’t ask questions. Please find the guilty one who said that and make a “quote” so we can see. Darth merely said what I just said above – ignorant at best, rude at the worst.
And as I wrote in reply to your PM: Your quotations from the Bible doesn’t tell us where the different skin-colours came from.
And WhiteEagles post still stands – even if you’re not a catholic. The Bible was NOT written by God, right?
And: Are you open-minded about your religion? Have you ever asked if it could be wrong?
You can’t prove the non-existence of a thing.
Let me show you why that is so. Let’s say I claim rein-deer can really fly, and you say, no they can’t. I then ask you to prove it!
What can you do? You have to find every single rein-deer on Earth and toss them out from the Empire State Building, to show me they can't fly. And then I can always claim it’s a special kind of reindeer, that the flying reindeer hasn’t been born yet, that you haven’t looked all over the world, or that it’s reindeer from a planet around Sirius. Eventually I’ll be asking you to search the entire Universe to make sure that no reindeer, anywhere, at any time in the entire Universe can’t fly.
Logic dictates that it is ME, the one who makes a positive assertion, that has to prove it. I have to find the reindeer that can fly and show it to you.
Queeq> No, did I say you WROTE it? But you say you BELIEVE it’s the truth, so don’t whine when I ask why and point to inconsistencies and obvious flaws.
I agree that Hebrew words can have many meanings, and this is one of the reasons behind faulty translations and inconsistencies in the Bible.
“You're moving into a very complicated issue here wuth science, ice ages, language, Sumerians...”
No, I’m just sticking with the topic.
”But it's pretty clear you don't care about the topic, your knowledge is limited and you show very little sign that you want to learn more about it.”
Don’t pretend to know what I know, and don’t take the cowardly way out, by claiming I’m not interested. Answer my questions instead.
”You just want to be right, so BE right. the Bible is all nonsense, you win. Good show.”
Coward. 😉

such a strong religious movement as chrisitanity that it has 1000 of different congregations. The bible with the NT is so clear that even it followers cant agree on how to follow it. 😎 💃 yeah they should have called it confusionty in stead of chrisitianity
well all of the other 999 christian relegions were formed around cathlocism, they just didnt like little parts of it, so they went off and formed their own relegion, for example, the protistant church came to be because they were in protest of the catholic church. 🙂
Vaya the Elf> But a parent doesn’t give a child freedom to do ANYTHING it wants. According to Christianity God is omnipresent and omnipotent – he’s far more than us mere humans. So if we are his children he should take care of us. A good parent won’t let a child play with matches or fire, because the child does not know all the consequences of its actions. So should God not give us all the freedom that we can’t handle – but he does.
FE> So you’re… hearing voices??
Okey dokey...
this whole thread gives me a headache 😑 I fail to see why people have to convince other people to view God the way they do. You either believe him or you don't simple as that. I myself have my own idea of what God is and Im sure there are many differing opinions. I also know there are people that deny the very existance of God. FINE, it's their opinion and their choice in their destiny. What I DO object to myself is being preached to in any way shape or form outside of church and I dont understand why there are people that feel the need to do that. A person's religious beliefs are an intensely private matter IMHO. Finally I beloeve we all need to be a little more tolerant of other peoples religious views wether we agree with them or not, and just accept them rather than trying to convert them.
