According to the Bible, There are three that bare record in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. According to the Bible, He came into the world, the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. Yes your right, I do believe they are the same.
But Campbell Sera knows that verse-remember? She grew up in a Christian home and school...She knows all about the Bible.
Not only do I know all about the Bible, I have heard everything I possibly can from a fundamentalist christian on the subject.
I absolutely do know about the trinity. Hell, I spent half my childhood on wednseday nights at Trinity Baptist Church learning catechisms. And I understood what the name of the church was referring to...
How else can it be interpereted? The very best you can hope for is a stong personal connection with the words in the Bible. Otherwise you are stuck believeing whatever dogma about it that other people tell you is the way to believe (which is really just either their interperetaion or an older one that they were taught). Dogma will kill the spiritual aspect of religion faster than anything else. Beware of it. It's as danerous as nationalism.
Id like to thank Campbell34, JesusDiedForYou, and Epiphany. I have seen the Light, You have shown me the way. Im now anti-religion. I hope you feel you did a good job representing christianity. I guess im going to hell but atleast I wont have to share it with people like you.
lololololol man this thread's completly gone downhill, huh? these religious talks seem to kill a lot of threads in these parts..
No you just found out what it really means to be a Christian and you don' like it because you have to turn from your evil ways something most people are not willing to do, because they love sin. They claim they know God, but by their actions they deny him.
IF that's what it takes to make you feel better about how you treat people and how your actions affect them, then fine, believe that. And please take your holier than thou crap to the christianity forum. And you must be so enlightened by god that no christian college can compete with what you teach people.
If you represent christianity, thats like Hitler representing the caucasion population. Dont try to justify your errors by blaming it on "sin." I guess what you are doing is not a sin. Even though you are repelling people away from christianity like its a flesh eating virus. Maybe your just handicapped/autistic, and all you can do is quote bible scriptures all day. Oh well doesn't matter to me, as long as I don't have to spend eternity with people like you, im good. Eternernal damnation and hellfire sounds pretty good compared to eternal persecution and annoyance.
Well I'm kind of anti-religion myself, please forgive me if I upset you, it was not my purpose. Jesus is a better example than I could ever be. We do the best we can, but we are far from His glory.
Well I'm not a prophet and I'm not a liar. A false prophet was usually the one who told the people what they wanted to hear. The true prophets of God usually were the one's the people stoned in the streets. I could say all kinds of good things that would make everyone like me, but what I know is true and that is why people can't stand to hear it. The only hope I preach will be found in Jesus. As we speak there are those who plan our nations destruction. I don't come to you in sheeps clothing. I,m telling you are nation is going down. When you hear Russia and her allies begin to threaten America with war. You will have to years to leave this nation. This will not happen for some time yet, but it will happen in your generation.
http://www.churchofreality.org/ is the most awesome website ever. for all of those who think there is a God. "The Jews put had to mark their houses by killing a goat or a lamb and smearing the blood around the door so that when God came to kill children, he didn't accidently kill the wrong ones. God's all powerful - but he's easily confused and needs to have things marked so that he doesn't make a mistake. And - God had to be appeased with animal sacrifices or he's going to come kill your children." "In the beginning God created everything and had total knowledge of everything that was going to happen. God, for example, had to have known that the Devil was going to become evil (how could God not have known if he can see the future) and God created him anyhow. One has to assume that God did so because he wanted to create an evil Devil and that God knowingly and deliberately created Satan and that everything that Satan has done is 100% in accordance with God's plan. One has to assume that or else God doesn't know everything and if God doesn't know everything - the Bible is wrong - and God himself is wrong."
So you are able to alter all the known laws of physics and defy the hundreds of studies showing that no one can predict the future? It's impossible, you're talking out your ass.
My problem on here with the ones who call themselves "Christians" is..Yes I believe in God, Yes, I believe in Jesus..But, I don't believe in Christians that come on here, forcing their beliefs and issues, being rude because someone doesn't believe in what you believe, and instead of being nice when stating their beliefs and why, they are on the defensive and actually most of them seem rather violent from their posts..and what the hell is it that I have heard from my friend that her grandma said to her and her mom and other numerous Christians have also said this.."It's their Christian duty to vote for Bush" why the hell is that? I don't see how it is yer "Christian duty" to vote for someone who has under his leadership, killed so many innocent people and children.
