What makes you think I don't know Him? That is such a large leap from playing tennis to not knowing God. I mean, there's not even a correlation between the two.

God gave us a life to enjoy. What you're saying is the equivalent as refusing to stare at the sky when it's colors are beautiful, or closing off your ears to hear the birds chirp in the morning, or covering your eyes whenever you see a tree blossoming with amazing pink flowers. You might as well...

That's just more of a side note, not an actual argument. The not really part is what was in response to what you had said. Where on Earth did you get this view of enjoying life is somehow bad?

I do, since I haven't found anything against it. Believe it or not, my faith is just as strong as it was before I found out about the possibility of forgeries. I get the feeling that people think I'm on the brink of giving up my religion which I'm not. I seek to know as much as possible about...

Not really. I'm guessing you've never really played sports?

How is playing a tennis acting like an animal? How is lifting wieghts acting like an animal? That's incredibly rude to equate people who play sports with a dog. God created many things to make people happy. Maybe you personally do not find happiness with sports, but that isn't the same for...

All that time working out and playing tennis help keep my body strong. I feel more awake which helps me focus on different tasks, which include, reading and studing the Bible. Again with the cynical view on life, it's just my opinion, but I wish you would take a more optimistic view on things...

You're making it sound like when people play sports that's all they do. I played tennis, went to church, read and reflected on the Bible etc. It's not like you can only do one activity at all times in your life. Besides, God didn't put us on Earth to be miserable. He wants us to be happy and...

True, but sports are not ungodly, so that doesn't really apply.

You can't discount all of the good things that has come from sports because of some bad things. Like doctore for example, they have made plenty of mistakes in the past, present, and will in the future. But, you wouldn't want doctors to quit their jobs would you? Or how about teachers? They make...

I do, I was just responding to the other guy (girl?). I actually saw this earlier, but since I don't really lift I left it alone.

Because God wants us to enjoy ourselves. He didn't put us on the Earth to be bored and miserable. Sports are fun and can help us lead healthy lives. When I played tennis in high school that time period was usually when I had the most energy, I actually got more stuff done, and I in general just...

ok

I didn't say not to pray. By all means do, I mean when a person refuses medical treatment because they feel that somehow doubts God. You can do both. A doctor will not forcably stop you from praying, they can't.

I totally get where you're coming from. At my old church we used to have Sunday School, which had always been my favorite part. I wouldn't say I was challenged by anything that was said, but it pointed out different parts of the Bible that I probably would not have read on my own. However, as I...
