Question to those who do or do not doubt Christianity

Have you asked God this question? he is the creator of everything isn't he?

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day...everyone who celebrates...

Thanks mate...Was pretty surprising....

Well first off if you ever do meet him the last words out of his mouth would be "I am Jesus"... Secondly if you asked for "proof" of who he was you would probably just get laughed at, the identity isn't exactly advertised by him or those who know him. When in his presence those who need to know will just suddenly become aware of the fact, when the proof of his identity is needed as it once was there will be plenty, you can count on that...

Thank you for your answer...Mine was the same...Just curious what atheists would ask...

Hi spades.

I would have so many questions that I would not know where to start.

How do you know this did he tell you? Are these the last words out of your mouth? " Hi I am Kristian James" If not what makes you so sure that he would introduce himself differently?

Hey mate...When you get some time...Hit up that last post I sent you if you are interested...

How have you been?

Spades I share many things with people to see how they respond I enjoy studying how people have false memories, memory illusions and all sorts of psychology.

Just to set the record straight.

If you don't share however, "talk" are you studying then.

One would hope not or else that is a sad world one would live in.

Evening Spades, Izzy.....

Snowman was quite scarry by the way

If there is a God, and off course I believe so. His presence I think would have to be "logically" powerful.. So powerful that you would stop in your tracks, if you met him. He is above human so it would make "logical" scence that you would feel a form of power ... Mind you many a Man uses the word power and thinks he is a GOD.

My opinion.

He was only a little snowman, 3.5/4 foot, you can't be scared by that. Or is it just that snow is such an alien concept in your neck of the woods?

We donnnnna have snow, well we do in Melbourne but not Adelaide, been there, Melbourne that is, in the snow also Tasmania, beautiful... Even learnt how to snow plow

Yeah...We have only got a little snow...but it has been below 25* F the last 4 days...

How has your studying people shown you that they are false? "in your opinions"

Nice win for Tiger this week...But it is good he was up 7 strokes today...He fell apart on the last 10 holes...

I gave away 22 points with my players this week by starting wrong guys...

Prof. Hofstadter wrote in his essay on Abraham Lincoln--



What is your position on this important matter?

I happen to agree with this...

I think it has a lot more to do with humble, patience, perseverance, practice, peace, faith and obedience...then it has to do with ambition and self help...Or I would say those things I have said, lead one to find themselves, often from religion, religious, church, prying, reflections of conscious...self awareness, self evaluation, self worthy, self truthfulness, self honesty...honesty, will, caring, willingness to care...etc...And using them together, and not trying to work against those things...

I happen to agree with most of what this professor said...Especially about accepting the virtues, but not being able to practice them...But I do not understand, it sounds like he is saying it is hard to be humble, because it requires you to battle pride (a deadly sin) with humility (a virtue) when you practice the faith without the church? But I would say church or no church, everyone knows if they think they fall to the deadly sins, or are doing the virtues, even in a humble way with our own consciousness....

And wasn't Lincoln an atheist? Where did you hear, or why do you think (besides this professor) that Lincoln was even a man of "private religious intensity"?

Humility is already one of the 7 virtues Spendius, and since it combats the worst deadly one (pride) I would have to say it is the highest virtue...No?

I personally think from what God has said to me, the only deadly sin that exists is rejection of God...

I think many will flip that around to personal rational ways of justifying sin, which is not my intent...Because I feel that EVERY sin separates you from God and makes it that much harder to let your soul be in ultimate peace...

But I do believe that so long as you have faith, you will not be lost...Even if God is going to condemn people...Which I do not believe anyways...

I think every sin is deadly, and there is a heavenly virtue for every sin...

Or you could say (from the church's perspective, with my own views) I think that deadly sins extent well beyond "7" And so do the heavenly virtues...

I thought the Prof. was availing himself of an opportunity to scoff at the hypocrisy of embracing the success myth whilst professing to be Christian.

The whole point of Jesus was the devastating failure.
