Is anyone here a christian?

[FCAWarrior]

alpha male, just to let you know, i cope with reality everyday. It's just cool to know that  i always have someone to talk to.

Ursula62:

 what did you mean by your post?

JohnnyGus:

I completely agree with you're answer. isn't God awesome?!!

[fantastical]

it seems like everyone fell for the assumption that began early on in the posts...that christianity is synonomous with a god. this debate transpires over a god - not the original q about proclaiming to be christian.

hmmm...equating christianity and god. that concept needs to include a belief - or assumption. For those of you who need to be so cynical about the existence of a god, and those who need to feel such a pathetically blind faith, I see errors in both.

I am an atheist and i think it's really cool to see how many other people here are also atheists. For those of you who aren't, why not?

[pixi]

hi waldo im with you on this !!!

I think the fundamental error lies in a lack of balance in proselytizing and missionary activity. When was the last time an atheist knocked on your door to see if you were a practising Christian, and try to convert you? When I was practising, in retrospect, I would have loved that. It would be so much fun too.

I had an amazing religious experience when two jehovahs turned up at my door recently. We had an hour long chat and I actually think I changed their minds about some things. Couldn't believe it! rofl.

I would like to apologize if my earlier snickers post offended any fans. Let's just agree to disagree.

FCAWarrior, Thank you for agreeing with my answer. God is indeed truly awesome. The love God has for each of us is too great for us to possibly imagine. God loves us with infinite love. Jesus died a terrible death and rose again to save us. He had a crown of thorns put over his head, he was nailed to a cross and was pierced in the side. He would have gone through that death even if it was only one soul he had to save by it. Jesus has given us the chance of Everlasting life through his death and ressurection. We can all be saved if we accept God into our life.

[JohnnyGus]

An established scientific truth is:

"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed." Therefore a supernatural power must have created the first energy. That supernatural power could only be God.

[MargeB]

Wow! You've come to the right site. <Marge pulls up hood and runs for cover>.

Jesus saves us from what? Everlasting life? I saw a dead christian a few years ago. Looked pretty lifeless to me.

[MargeB]

ps. just checked with Dounreay Nuclear Power Station. They create energy all the time, apparently. And the boss man is a christian.

[JohnnyGus]

Power Stations do not create energy, they convert energy from one form into another. Only a supernatural force can actually create energy.

By his death and ressurection Jesus brought for us everlasting life, in other words, we can choose to go to Heaven because of his death and ressurection. 

[MargeB]

Nuclear fission (a la power station) is the production of energy from matter.

Particles come into being in the universe all around us all the time, from nothing.

Even if stuff here had to come from other stuff here, and energy here from energy here (and neither is true), why should this apply to the whole universe? Why can't that just come out of nothing? You assume that the universe at the beginning obeys all the apparent laws that we witness in it now. Why do you assume this?

[MargeB]

re Jesus: why do we need that? Why should God not just take us to heaven anyway?

[JohnnyGus]

In the end everything to do with God ultimately comes down to a mystery, such as why Jesus had to die to save us. We just have to accept these mysteries going on what is said in scripture. We will only be able to understand these mysteries in the next world.

Look up on the scientifically proven law of the conservation of mass-energy.

[MargeB]

I'd love to set up my own religion, it would be dead easy. Just make up some stuff, and if there are any very obvious holes in it, just tell people that 'that bit's a 'mystery' and all will be revealed when you die'. Unfortunately no dead people were available for comment to corroborate this.

The salvation of people's souls by the sacrificial death of Christ on the Cross is the main reason why I don't accept anything about Christianity. It doesn't even mean anything. Save what? My soul? Ask most christians, they wouldn't even be able to clearly define this for you. And yet they are perfectly willing to radically change their entire belief about the world and themselves based around this, something that is at best, a very fuzzy idea for them. It would be funny, only it gets into all of our lives. Yukky.

[FCAWarrior]

MargeB: hey, God did come to save us and the reason he can't take us to heaven is because he's perfect. He can't have a relationship with a sinner that is why we must repent, turn away, from our sin so that we can live with him. every question you have can be answered if you just read the bible. God is awesome and if you ever need anything, he'll be there for you. That's why I love God!!!! 

[FCAWarrior]

A dead christian is just like anyone else. no, they're not going to have like glowing bodies or anything. Everlasting life means that our spirits will live on forever in heaven with God. If we never accept God, We'll go to the exact opposite of Heaven.

[FCAWarrior]

JohnnyGus: what are you.(baptist, catholic,...)

Why is this in the 'science' category? I come on here to read about SCIENCE, not this missionary crap.
