MAJOR DIFFERENCE...Muhammad NEVER claimed to be the son of God...Jesus did...Muhammad was simply a prophet...Jews don't believe that Jesus really was who he said he was...Jesus was also the only major person to claim that he was...and all the prophecies pointed to where he was gonna be born and when...but of course he could control that couldn't he? That is...if you believe in the Bible...Sorry but I am a Christian, and I have never met another Christian who praises Abraham, Moses, or anyone else of such...Thats the Catholics that praise saints...get it right...

So if God created evolution, then you could also say that he created Buddhism, Islam, Judism (which doesn't believe in the New Testament), etc, etc...no, WE create these religions or beliefs...and no God did not create evolution...this one scientist by the name of Darwin did...The Bible says that people should not not worship other Gods or beliefs...none of the other religious leaders claim to be any more than humans...And yet some praise Allah...I don't get that...if he was just a man...why praise him? The Bible also said that is wrong. As for saying that the site is wrong...I think I will believe in my own Bible rather than a website that you who are against the Bible provide for me...The NIV Bible does not contradict itself...I do not have a copy of the King James Bible, but rather than read it on the website, I will read it for myself...and then tell you what I think...
The Bible clearly says many times that the Jews are God's chosen people. So if you are going to take the Bible literally, yeah God created Judism, or at least favored it over other religions. But if you want to look at facts, people created Judism, Islam, Christianity, etc. Belief systems are created by man not God. Also, Charles Darwin did not "create evolution." He created the theory of evolution, which occurs naturally and has been around since the beginning of time.
I think what kingcoot was saying by saying God created evolution is that he created all the creatures of the planet with the ability to adapt in order to better survive their environment. You can denounce the big bang theory and promote creationism all you want, you can't ignore the fact that organisms adapt to their environment. Well you can, but that would be living in denial.
Jews ARE God's chosen people...Jesus was a Jew also. God didn't create ANY religion...He's God...and the Bible was meant to teach what he is and wants people to do and believe...PEOPLE create religions...I think its funny how many things you guys think God creates...He created the Earth and us, not what we do. Yes, your right, evolution is a theory and a theory alone...and one that he brought up...How has it been around since the beginning? I believe in evolution TO A POINT...not the "we evolved from apes" but that we do adapt to things and environment...its called micro-evolution vs. macro-evolution. I believe in micro.

If you don't believe in God, seeing as though people who believe in Jesus know that he is God...just in human form...then no matter what, YES those who don't believe in him will go to Hell...that's why there is a Hell, or if you sin of course...but I think your referring to revelations when God comes back to punish the wicked and if you believe in the Bible then yes, those who don't believe in him will basically die and go to Hell...
matthew 25 specifies that those who dont worship jesus will burn in hell, lets keep it specisfic, ok?
so you believe that jews, muslems, hindus, buddhist, and everyone else who are not christians will burn in hell and suffer for eternity?
you believe that they are all 'wicked' and than they deserve to suffer?
No PVS. I'm telling you what the Bible says:
If you do not believe in God and you are a sinner and are not repentful then you will go to Hell...That's what the Bible says...I don't believe their wicked...its their choice whether they believe in it or not...God will decide that (if you believe in God). You say Jews in there...well, Jesus IS God according to the New Testament, therefore if you believe in him then I think that your fine...Do you seriously think I have all the answers? You either believe in it or you don't and I do...
Actually hunchy, its a common misconception that the theory of evolution says we evolved from apes. Thats false. The theory of evolution says that apes and humans have a similar ancestor, not that humans evolved from apes. If humans had evolved from apes, there would be no more apes today, just humans. Because when one species evolves from another it doesn't break off and form a different species. The dominant species survives and the weaker link dies out. It's ok, common mistake.
Also, I wasn't saying that I believe God created Judism, I know humans did. Humans created every religion on the planet, and humans wrote the bible. I was stating that in the bible, from what I remember, God told Abraham to start the Jewish religion. Correct me if I'm wrong, its been 3 years since I took bible study.

Actually no, Jesus never claimed he was the son of god. In the Bible he does, but then, the Bible is a lying *****, so... Several of the eighty some original gospels claimed that he was the messiah, most people didn't believe he was when he died. Including himself. Or at least if he did, he never said so.
Oh deary me, I'm going to Hell, aren't I 🙁
Wow, this forum is starting to go down the drain...(Hint: look at the last few posts...they have nothing to do with the subject)
" Actually no, Jesus never claimed he was the son of god. In the Bible he does, but then, the Bible is a lying *****"
Okay....if you believe in the New Testament...then Jesus WAS the son of God and claimed that...where did you get that from-that Jesus never said he was...if not from the Bible? Show me your source please. As for God telling Abraham to start the Jewish religion...What's the Jewish religion other than believing the Old Testament? So basically by creating the Bible was what he wanted if you believe in that...and there is a choice not to go to Hell...its your choice what path to choose, if you believe in the Bible...I myself question whether I believe in it or not...don't get me wrong...However, I am trying my best to explain things that people don't understand or claim, that is not true.
