    What does "faith" mean to you?

    (Sasha;57665) COME GUYS WE HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING INTO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. AND ALL HE ASKS US TO DO IS TRUST AND FOLLOW HIM. THAT'S IT!! This answer is obviously not satisfying to any skeptic. One would only trust God if one believed he existed and believed the claims made about him were...

    What does "faith" mean to you?

    (Alpha and Omega) I never really thought that you took anything I said with much credibility. Just as with everyone else, I take what you say with as much credibility as it merits.(Alpha and Omega;57615) But just so you know that the book is not all hullabaloo consider me for example. I have...

    What does "faith" mean to you?

    (Alpha and Omega;57569) Natural Cures they don't want you to know about - Kevin Trudeau This book is a complete joke. It goes so far as to cite dianetics (the practices of Scientology) as a cure for mental disorders. Some of them are scientifically ridiculous, and others (like eating less and...

    What does "faith" mean to you?

    Well, that was (unsurprisingly) kind of confusing, Sasha, but what I'm getting from it is this: Faith is believing that God can and will work miracles, and people that die of cancer deserved it because they should have had more faith?

    What does "faith" mean to you?

    (Alpha and Omega;57484) I was just simply stating that Atheism is a religion that tries to convert people just like any other religion does. Well, I don't agree at all, but that is neither here nor there.Seems we have a pretty diverse set of responses thus far.- One vote for trusting in God even...

    What does "faith" mean to you?

    (Alpha and Omega;57451) I have no idea why Atheists have such difficulty accepting this very obvious fact. After all about 99.999% of what ANYbody believes is not by direct experience but by what they have been told EVERYBODY has many faith beliefs. What you have not directly experienced, but...

    What does "faith" mean to you?

    The concept of "faith" is obviously central to any Christian worldview. However, I see Christians of all sorts who are clearly using the word in different ways. It has become a little difficult to tell what meaning they are actually ascribing to it. So, I am posting this question for the purpose...

    Er, what's the point of this thread exactly?

    Why is the Bible so confusing?

    (tomwebster;57221) No, people are not given another chance. If you have heard and rejected the message you will not be there. Again, God is fair! So, if I am understanding correctly, only those who have not heard will get a second chance..and they get it straight from the mouth of God, and a...

    Why is the Bible so confusing?

    (kriss;57216) Lunar you make whatever excuses you want but thats all they are is misguided excuses. kriss, I would appreciate it if your tone was more friendly. Did I do something to deeply offend you?(kriss) And your idea about luxury's while true in some areas doesnt prove or mean anything its...

    Why is the Bible so confusing?

    (Alpha and Omega;57191) Daniel 12:10"...none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand." I suppose I and most of the rest of the world, and everyone that disagrees with you on anything, are wicked and unwise then. Too bad for us!(kriss) Do you ever read what anyone says I try...

    Why is the Bible so confusing?

    tim_from_pa: Your reasoning on how you reached your belief in Anglo-Israelism is besides the point. Clearly, whether you see it as obviously true or not (a point which I have no desire to dispute with you at this point in time), most Christians do not agree, and that alone is problematic...

    Why is the Bible so confusing?

    (tim_from_pa;57135) It is fairly easy for me to understand, but then when it's explained the skeptics disbelieve and shoot it down and explain why it does not mean what it clearly says. Then it is said it makes no sense---- as it's been said before: circular reasoning. You misunderstand. The...

    What is wrong with Biblical prophecy?

    (kriss;57056) God gives different prophies from different perspectives All prophecies concerning Satan for example are given in Lunar time/ Months. The reason for this is in understanding much deeper spiritual truths. you could see the rossitta stone for this if you have eyes to see 3 1/2 years...

    What is wrong with Biblical prophecy?

    (kriss;57039) The only one I can see here that is making accusations is you stop whining and complaining and accusing everyone of insulting you. We provide this space for people to ask questions not to put down our beliefs. Yes, I noted this at the beginning of the thread. You may recall that it...

    Lunar, shornaal, Jeffhuges

    Whoa, looks as though I am late to this party.(univac;56909) Lunar, Shornaal, JeffhugesIn all reasoningWhat is your belief? How do you imagine the universe started? And where do you thing it is headed? Two of the three questions which you have asked seem very vague and are in need of...

    What is wrong with Biblical prophecy?

    (tim_from_pa;56831) Well, I made my case. It's close enough for me, and I minored in mathematics. The only math you did was some rudimentary arithmetic.Anyways, you seem to have a fixation with math, but pay very little heed to actual reading. You have pulled out numbers and dates, but...

    What is wrong with Biblical prophecy?

    (tim_from_pa;56804) OK.... Here's some new math. Yes, that is the more traditional view...except that that clearly cannot be correct either. To start, there is no event dividing the first 7 and 62 weeks. Why is this division present? And what are verses 26 and 27 supposed to be referring to...

    What is wrong with Biblical prophecy?

    (tim_from_pa;56771) You're grabbing at straws and effectively repeated everything you just said earlier. I've answered everything all ready. You are debating a point about the calendar that no serious theologian denies. Try Googling the 360-day year. This fact is so well known that even...

    Why is the Bible so confusing?

    No one has really answered the heart of the question.The source of truth, for Christians, is the bible. But that isn't enough for many people.Many people don't have access to bibles.Many people aren't literate.Many people have so many problems just trying to make ends meet that they have no time...
