Last, I checked there were 2. All the others are mental disorders.

Completely wrong? Sole message? Teaches? Interesting points considering there is no sole message and it teaches nothing.

It teaches many things actually. I'm sorry that you see it that way.

I could read any book, literally any book, and take messages from it that i believe could be useful and applicable in real life and make it my bible.

You could, but the difference between the Bible and any other book is it's the Word of God.

The purpose of the bible is not what is inside of the book but what it represents and what it does for people

I would say that it is what's inside that counts and what it represents. Its history of the 1st-century church and further back into history about Israel.

With that, We should "update" the bible by adding more experience to it and offering MODERN ways of life. As of right now if a serial killer begs for mercy and forgiveness, the bible says that the serial killer would be forgiven. WE SHOULD PROBABLY CHANGE THAT!

We shouldn't change it with modern days of life because in the Bible that is how it was back then everything that happened. Changing the forgiveness and stuff like that would be altering the message. Why should we change the part where a serial killer can't be forgiven? It shows that God is merciful, loving, and graceful.

No, that would be completely wrong because you would be changing the sole message of what it teaches.

What if that wasn't the case?

The world is full of conflict. Religion teaches us that we have to suck it up until the second coming when God will throw the wicked into the lake of fire (or something like that) and the meek will inherit the earth.

There is more to it than just that. God doesn't throw people in Hell. Nowhere in scripture does it say that. People send themselves to hell for the choice that they made,

One of God's commandment is "thou shall not kill." But He had David running around killing his enemies. He condoned it. And He himself wiped out everything with His 40 days and 40 nights of rain crap. So life isn't as precious as He would have us believe.

A lot of the Old Testament stuff that was killing involved were over Israel, or God was judging people because they were doing evil, and God took a stand and said enough is enough and decided to do something about it.

So, instead of waiting for the second coming, I say we nuke the bastards causing all the problems and stirring the pot as it were. We then declare ourselves to be the meek and lay claim to the planet. Then, if and when He comes, we can just tell Him that we took care of it all ourselves and that we no longer need His services and that He can just fuck off and leave us the hell alone.

Only more problems would arise. We can't take care of it ourselves because, we as humans aren't perfect at all and we'll always mess things. God on the other hand loves us and wants a relationship with Him. That's why there are Christians around the world spreading good news to people, so that when the time comes people will be ready and not perish.

Of course it's murder.

Jesus really does the converting, all we as Christians do is plant the seed. I wouldn't say our job is to convert rather make disciples because that is what Jesus called us to do.

He already does, and there really is nothing I would ask.

I'll be rooting for the Seahawks!! I hope they make it to the Superbowl or at least attempt to.

I don't have a phone yet.

I rather have someone for the rest of my life. Not someone who is just a substitute.

Yes, I plan to have kids once I'm married. I have yet to find someone though.

Yes, I would definitely buy those, but it would probably cost a lot.

I'm going to be gone for awhile. I got Black Ops 3, and next week Star Wars Battlefront so I'll be busy.

Yes, I believe that one day we will all be judged for everything that we've ever said, done, and thought.

Not really.

Nobody because I don't have a phone.

I still put up with them, and still treat them with respect like I do with everyone else.

In Washington state we've had days where it was sunny, but still chilly outside wasn't completely hot. It rained today in the morning. It starts getting hot around here towards the course of June. Washington is known for having late summer weather. We also are pretty early when it comes to fall weather with all the rain that we get.

Good never believed it anyway.

I value it right now since I'm single. I'm waiting to get married to have sex.

Majority of the people will go to hell. The only people who will go to Heaven are the people who truly seek out Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and actually live a life that God wants them to live.

No one. I get along with everyone fine. :)

Prayers is not a way of God making us beg. It's a part of our relationship with God and to be able to talk to Him. It's also showing that we are obedient to God when we pray and it's an act of faith when we pray. If I stopped praying then I would basically have a lack of faith in God, and a lack of trust in God's Word.

He would look more like this.

Wow, those were the days before I hit 10k points.

Yeah, I can see that a lot of kids will probably have cell phones before they probably reach kindergarten because that's just waay too early to give someone a phone. I get enough shock from people as it is at high school for not having a phone.

That's pretty amazing! My friend shared that video on Facebook. Pretty creative for them to do that.

Pretty cool! Although the weather where I live at the moment is not in the 70s yet. We usually have a late start to summer. Stupid Washington state!

Nope, not for me.

Have you heard of any other god's rising from the grave? Dying for mankind? Doing miracles such as healing, or driving out demons? I don't think so. The only person that can do that is God.

No, I haven't seen it yet. I would like to watch it.

Ohhh, well this is news to me.

Uh huh surrrrrre!

I know you're referring to me.

No, it's not a code. Her avatar is a girl from a movie called Frozen and there is a song called "Do you want to build a snowman?" so that's why I said that.

I just got to ask. "Do you want to build a snowman?"

No problem! (:

He wouldn't go against His Word because if He did then that would be a sin to be against His Word.

God wouldn't tell me to have sexual relations with a man anyway because it goes against what God said in His word.

lol ahahahahahahahahahahahahah. No!

I set time to read my Bible, and do things for God. As long as I don't spend more time in video games then I do with God then it's fine. Sometimes I do play video games over and beyond the time I spend with God.

P.S You should see my dad's stats. He has more games finished then I do and more trophies.

It's stored digitally in the PS3 and it will show you the games you started and if any our completed or finished.

Happy Birthday!

Most of the games that I get are ether buying it digitally or I rent the games that are easy games to complete to 100%. I will also tend to buy the disc of some games because I like the certain franchise of a game or it's new and I want to try a new game out that is easy to complete. Sometimes, I'll keep some of the games that I have completed to 100% because they still are fun to play like some of the Call of Dutys, or games that were really enjoyable.

I don't have an Xbox 360. I have a ps3. Here are my stats for PS3.

I have 1,923 trophies.

31 Platinums (Games I fully completed to 100%)

128 Gold

410 Silver

1,354 Bronze

Without the Bible, we wouldn't know that about Jesus in the first place.

Then why don't you just say it instead?

FTFY?

In the Bible.

Yes, abortion is murdering an innocent baby.

Not only that but also Jesus is the Word as well.

"Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work." 2nd Timothy 3:16-17

Gravity. I thought it would be really good but it wasn't.

Yeah, I know but my parent's say I can't buy it. That game is forbidden for me to play or buy.

No, I don't play chess. I am not really good when it comes to strategic board games.

I still wouldn't allow them to play Grand Theft Auto even when they're 16 or 17. I am 17, and I am not allowed to play it.

No it doesn't hurt kids. It hasn't hurt me at all but helped me and the same to other kids who continue on the path of righteousness with Christ.

Yeah I would but only if they were a certain age. I started playing M rated games when I was in middle school. It also depends on the video game. If it's Grand Theft Auto then no.

Yes, He is!

As a Christian, I don't hate atheists. They can be frustrating to debate with, but I still love them because they were created in the image of God, just like I was.

No, I don't believe in his theory. I believe God created the universe in 6 days.

God would exist so that we can believe in Him and have a relationship with Him. Without God the earth, and everything it in it would perish. I am sure He does exist is because of the impact in not only my life but other people's lives that proves that He exists.

allah, asgard, odin don't exist. Satan does exist and I know he exists because there are demons that can manifest into human beings and take control over them and only Christians can take them out.

Why what?

Yes.

"Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

It's not God's way of creating things. Evolution is man's thinking and way of where life came from. God's way is the better way then man's. So Creation is the better explanation then Evolution. Nuff said, and I am out.

No, because I don't have phone.

No, I don't. I do remember seeing that video tho.

The angel of the Lord told Mary that she would be pregnant with a child and to name her Jesus.

No, God isn't a rapist.

Yes.

I go on facebook to keep in touch with some of my friends and family.

Jesus knows how to read and write because He is God and God is all knowing.

Hundreds hmm? Show me some evidence.

Look, a debate site is for debates. If you're not open to you (or Christianity) being wrong then go to a Christian forum where you can lead an existence where everyone will agree with you and never question your beliefs

Yeah, I know it's for debates. I admit sometimes I am wrong about somethings, but when it comes to Christianity in general I know I am not wrong about believing in it.

Why would I be wrong in my interpretation of Christianity?

I could say I like basketball, but maybe I actually don't like it and I play a different sport.

He used Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John who were all witnesses of Jesus. Plus when you think about it Jesus actually witnessed everything from the book of Genesis to where He got crucified.

He used people that were in the Bible to author some of the books of the Bible and telling them what to write.

How do you even know I like basketball anyway?

I can be wrong at some points but not when it comes to Christianity because I know it's not wrong.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Srom... calm down.

I am calm.

Look at his user pic. It's a basketball. You love basketball...

......

Actually He did write the Bible.

I do learn things but if it's certain things I don't agree with, I am not going to believe it. Like for example evolution. I have learned about it but I don't believe it.

Uh huh surre.

I am not laughing or joking around now am I?

I could say the same thing about you and how you can be too close minded to listen to what my arguments are on Christianity.

There is nothing wrong with being close minded.

I don't know because I haven't read the Qur'an and Muhammad couldn't read or write so he had other people write the Quran for him.

John 14:6

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Yes we should spread the words of Jesus because people need to hear the words of truth.

Yeah!!!!

I like root beer .

That's a pretty awesome GIF.
