Does God still speak to mankind?

Because HE LOVES US! WE CANNOT SIMPLY COMPREHEND HIS LOVE. I CANNOT NO ONE CAN! WHY WOULD HE SAVE A HORRIBLE MAN SUCH AS MYSELF? I WILL NEVER KNOW THE FULL EXTENT OF HIS LOVE UNTIL I AM IN HEAVEN. I PRAY YOU WILL SEE THAT IT TAKES YOUR SUBMISSION TO HIM TO BE SAVED.
 
Because he did and still does in so many different ways.



Duh!!! Because he created us and no we are not perfect.



Only to self absorbed minRAB!!!

:rolleyes: :xangel:
 
Christianity is indeed different from other religions. In part, God took the for of a man to die for them. Secondly, Jesus was a man who's teaching's were of the utmost influencial of the masses of his time. To see that a 2000 year old religion is stil growing rapidly has to show His messages were indeed revolutionary. However, like every religion, you must have a basis of faith, for we do not see Jesus, we do not have video proof of a god or goRAB creating the universe. We do not know the fate we have after death (if any at all). So it just shows that this ultimate question will be answered by people individually. We all take a syance on the issue, and whether we have a revelation, or a chataclizmic event unfold upon our lives, we probably will not change our minRAB. We have debated for well over 15 pages of this forum and I think we need to keep it open so we all can explore the possibilities, and also come to terms that our opinion is not the only one, even though sometimes we think so.
 
lol that was funny. However Duo to say Christianity is the idiocy of a thousand fools is not only offensive, it is comepletely biased and aimed at one religion instead of all. By the way how come there is not anyone of another religion posting on this forum? It seems to me that the argument is one sided and that Christianity is the one faith that instills bitterness in everyone. What about other religions opinions to what you just said Duo? What about the fact that you cannot prove your statement. It is once again another cheap shot to bring another down. I admit I have done so, but only in the defence of my best interests. I don't like to provoke bitterness in anyone. However I need to say this with all honesty. Dou you are a fool. I have valid reasons to prove you are. 1. You simply cannot reason with anyone except when you come out on top. 2. You don't take others opinions on issues into perspective, you just throw a cheap punch into their jaw to make them stop. 3. Your perception of knowledge is tainted. You have no basis for giving some ofthe statements you made on this forum so your opinion is not really valued. 4. It seems as if the only thing you care about is harmming someone who disagrees with you. 5. Everyone matters in their opinion. People need to respect that. You do not.
 
No I think the problem for me is not being able to accept the type of god presented. And what law are you talking about? It's illegal to kill here!
 
but wouldnt that imply that the biblical authors were wrong when they said "and the lord said"? i mean, were the other aspects of the trinity dormant in the old testament? or was it the holy spirit's still small voice back then, but it was described in the form of a thunderous lecture for embellishment sake?
 
I can't prove monkeys aren't flying around on Venus either, so what of it? Your claim, your burden of proof. Can you grasp that?

Sane people can be deluded or misguided.

If I believed in head-hunting would you respect that? How about child brides? Still okay by you? How about better health through blood-letting? Respecting the beliefs of others is hardly mandatory. Where's the respect for the beliefs of others when it comes to Christian missionaries? Please.
 
"IF 95% of the world believes in a diety then it seems that the evidence is irrefuteble."

your statement

faith is believing something is true in the absence of evidence for it, or in the face of evidence against it. truth is something that has evidence for it. 2 very different things. having faith in something does not make it truth. knowing the truth requires no faith. there is really no overlap between faith and truth, because when the evidence for something is found, faith is no longer necessary

i respect your opinions, but i would also point out that they cannot be necessarily be taken as fact. anything built upon falsehood eventually falls apart
 
changing emotionally does not constitute to a change, and it doesnt strengthen the case that God exists. there is a plethora of events and agents that can cause a change of emotions. in fact, a change in emotions tells us absolutely nothing about reality, and only hints a change in one's perception of reality. changing spiritually is totally outside of rational discussion.

for one to believe that God loves you or that you are not alone in life does not require God's existence. interestingly enough, having your prayers answered does not indicate that God exists. being saved from a near-fatal accident does not require that God exists. if you think about it, there is not a single phenomenon at all that we can conclusively credit God for

now, in the bible, we had some real works of God. i mean parting the red sea was something, and how those jericho walls, eh? and jesus? walking on water, healing the blind and paralytic, turning water into wine, commanding the weather and nature. he really had God on him. those event are the things that would require God's direct input, wouldnt they

to bad all we have to show for all God's power and greatness is a collection 2000-year-old middle-eastern writings...
 
Steeve thank you for proving another fallacy in "scientific logic". It's not that I do not trust science. In fact I embrace the futherance of knowledge. It is the fact that already in California evolution si a "fact" when even athiests say that evolution is severly flawed. If you wish to prove God by mathmatics then add your own reasoning for everything in the universe into the equation. Yet it is almost pointless to argue with men who see themselves more logical than God. Yet they die, they try to find meaning, they try to find the ultimate answer to the ultimate question and still they cannot see the answer through a tiny thing called faith. which in turn leaRAB them to God.
 
yes, a orthdox god makes about as much sense as a strawberry jello in the shape of a panda found floating in the core of gas giant.
 
I am really not sure. The whole basis behind killing is emotion. Not just coldness toward random people. I bleieve that killing in the sense of self defence is ok. Murder as in killing for the thrill, or anger, that is unjustified.
