How Christ-like of you. Thank you for demonstrated such a loving Christian attitude.
I have been wondering about why God, if he exists, created us as he did. Now, the theory is that God is perfect, totally perfect, and that he modeled us in his own image, however we are fundamentally flawed, its a well known quote that "nobody is perfect", so is this a reflection on God? If he was perfect, logically he could create a perfect creation, so why didn't he? Similarly being all knowing it is assumed he knew what was going to happen to the creation and the so called flaws, so why allow it? Why not make us perfect or whatever? But if it is said that it would be impossible for us to be perfect and have free will, does that mean God is inherently flawed as a creator in that it is impossible for him to make a perfect creation?
(Just rambling a bit here)

You should congratulate yourself on being such a glowing example of Christianity to non-Christians.

I know I'm not a good example (you have already stated that) and I know I'm not a good example, but I don't need to learn a lie from you or any other Anti-Christs for that matter.
Exactly. 😉
Especially "true" Muslims, and not extremists, and Christians are mostly alike, the two different religions akin to one another.
But honestly, ninjababe, calm down....or please leave....because your "burn in hell" comments really bothered me, now that I had a chance to fully reflect on the thread....
ninjababe:
Stop posting for a second, read this, and DON'T GET DEFENSIVE.
By screaming at these people and telling them to go to hell, you are completely turning them off to Christianity, creating a prototypical (read: stereotypical) evangelical-fanatical Christian who condemns people to hell. You are being like those abortion protesters who shriek that a woman who has an abortion is going to burn in hell or one of those individuals who holds up a sign that says, "GOD HATES FAGS."
Sometimes I feel as you do--frustrated, fed-up with people--and just say, "I am glad that s/he is going to burn in hell." But that is a horrible, horrible thought that no Christian should ever have (though we do). What you must do is calmly explain your point of view, saying why you believe in God, and wait for a rebuttal--don't be surprised or offended if it is a biting response tinged with arrogance--and then work from there.
Have you ever heard the saying, "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?" It's quite true. To kill an opponent's body is nothing, for you must kill his spirit for true victory. However, the harsher manner in which you lash out, the more his resistance becomes. Instead, you must kill him with kindness--true, unfeigned kindness--and you will defeat his spirit. Is it not better to have a collaborator than a corpse?
Show your enemies love and mercy, and they shall see God. Show them cruelty and your efforts shall be fruitless.
I'm not leaving until I can get some sence in those idiots thick skullsonly the fool refer to others as idiots
I know I'm not a good example (you have already stated that) and I know I'm not a good example, but I don't need to learn a lie from you or any other Anti-Christs for that matterat least the "lie you dont need to learn" is an honest one, it sees things just as they are.
