Jesus Christ is the only way

People have been asking every question in this thread for a long time.

The simple answer is that no human will ever know how God thinks, or why God did this, or why he doesn't do that. He is God. We're surely not in the position to question him.

I have to respectfully disagree.

If God asked me to kill you in order to test my faith, then I would surely question his motives. I would also question if he is truly omnibenevolent (all-loving) if he's asking me to kill you. Perhaps he will intervene in the end, but if I truly did believe he was all-loving, then I would simply just tell the voice in my head that he is not my god, because my all-loving god would never ask me to murder someone to test my faith. You would have to truly believe that God is capable of evil to go through with something like that.

But back on topic:
I believe that not questioning him is extremely dangerous.

It happened in the Bible. He actually told Abraham to go kill his son, and stopped him at the last possible second. God's a complete wackjob, if you ask me.

And the story has to be the only way it could have happend right? No story thousands of years old could have been distorted both intentionally and unintentionally right? And just because Christians believe their God did that why does it mean that if that being exists it did? Just some thoughts.

Prove it?

Prove it?

Let's see- the short version: EVERY amputee with still severed limbs, ALL of the poor and needy who really need prayer, but seem to be 'forgotten', all of the rich and affluent who get anything they desire, The lonely killing themselves in droves, all the children with horrible diseases dying daily, The millions of people hurt, fleeced, robbed and lied to by Christians all in the name of 'God'... Shall I go on? I dunno what's running the universe, but it needs it's hand slapped and sent to bed with no dinner.

I've gotten to the point that if It's in the bible, it's true, according to all the churchies. So, if it is like that, THEY can deal with their God being a total wackjob, by their own confession. They can sit, stutter and spin it til they get dizzy and . They like the self righteous dance, let's see 'em tapdance out of it.

I have a simple answer to this thread, so we can end all of this pseudo-spiritual garbage; NO!

What I fail to figure out is this; The Book known as the Holy Bible has been translated several times, and there have been many versions of it. Plus, it was written by scribes who worked for the Holy Church. And still, to many Christians, it is all true. It is also funny that the God of the Christians would "inspire" one book only, and all the rest are lies. It is mind control at it's most basic level, make people believe in a devil and hell so they will give over their money and power to the church. If Jesuah bin Joseph were here today, he would be sad at how Christianity twisted his teachings and words to fit their agenda, and would most probably destroy them all.

Too bad it isn't even true to all the "churchies" as you put it. Any number of ministers, priests or whatever will tell you their holy book *the Christian Bible in case you forget* is purely allogorical in nature. Yet you use such an stunningly obtuse generalization *not to mention obviously false* to classify an entire belief system so that you can feel superior to it. Imagine that......

CANT WE JUST ALLL AGREE WE JUST DONT KNOW???

PLEASE???

WE DO NOT KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE.

sorry for caps... but lets face it we do not know.. do you not think it is about time we said sod it? lets do what we want??

we can be the borg!!! well we can? we got that idea from somewhere !!

you see every idea is a possibility you know like putting a bet on races

people put way to much faith in god than fellow humans and lie cheat steal and lie .. every single day

be true be you.. it was always meant to be that way... sinner? well i guess im going to hell then for speaking the truth..

Ah but humans are still tribalistic *or collectivistic is a better more modern word* so thusly we band into teams on any of a great deal of topics and this crap goes on again and again and again and again. When it's little more than "My tribe yay! Your tribe boo!!"
