I believe in God/the bible. Only positive things have come from my belief in this (I haven’t always believed so deeply, in fact I used to consider myself agnostic or atheist. In general, I am a nicer person and more forgiving. I feel much more secure and purposeful in life. Believing in God makes me [...]
Is the Big Bang God’s Way of Proving His Existence?
September 14, 2008 by
Yes, it could be. I personally believe the “big bang” describes the moments when God said, “Let there be….” Scientists will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of God, simply because God created the big bang. It is like me creating a big baloon, and sticking an ant inside of it on [...]
Do You Find it Offensive When Christians Act Holy or Better Than You?
September 14, 2008 by
I think it is offensive for anyone to act arrogant or propose they are better than you because of their beliefs. What most people don’t realize is that they are committing the sin of pride when they do that. A truly Godly person should love all peoples, regardless of exact denomination, religion, skin color, etc. [...]
Is it a Sin to Have Sex Before Marriage? What Does the Bible Teach?
September 14, 2008 by
I recently had a question from someone who said that she and her husband “slipped” and had sex before they actually got married. They did actually get married, and the woman had miscarriages. Her father had scorned her and told her it was because she “sinned” by having sex before marriage (fornication). Is this a [...]
Do You Think That Faith Healers Such as Benny Hinn or Earnest Angley Are Fake?
September 14, 2008 by
This was a question I was recently asked. I think it can be asked in another way: Do you think that people are misleading, liars, and some evangelists are crooked? My answer is: Of course, and I agree that people like this reflect so badlly on religion as a whole. It is sad to think [...]
How Old Does the Bible Say the Earth Is? What Do Creationists Think?
September 14, 2008 by
Great question. First I just want to point out that there is no general accepted age. Some christians may very well believe in evolution and old earth ages. Some may believe in a newer earth. The bible never indicates any age of the earth. For the christians that tend to consider that the earth is [...]
What Substances is God Made of? Is God Made of Matter? Does He Have Flesh?
September 14, 2008 by
I would think that he is not made of matter as we know it. After all, matter and the universe were created by God. However, I am sure He can manipulate matter in any way He wants, or take the form of matter. Science tells us that the universe and matter were created at some [...]
Why Do Some Christians or Religious People Hate Jews?
September 14, 2008 by
Someone recently asked why so many people seem to dislike, or even hate the Jews. They stated that many times they witness people being rude, or insulting people just because of their Jewish faith. First, let me say that not everyone hates people of the Jewish faith. I certainly LOVE people of the Jewish faith! Here [...]
How Do I Know if I am on the Right Path to God?
September 14, 2008 by
I recently received a question from someone wanting to know if I thought they were on the right path to God. They were a christian, but having a difficult time and were having doubts and questions. Here is my reply: Yes, you are on the right path my friend. But it is a lifelong path [...]
If Hell is a Real Place, Does that Make God Evil or Unjust?
September 14, 2008 by
I think this is a great question. Here is my opinion on it: The fact that God does eventually punishes evil, actually shows His true justice (not that He is unjust). Would it be just for our government to let criminals go around raping people, without ever throwing them in jail? No, that is why it [...]
Many Kids Are Growing Up Atheist or Agnostic-How Will This Effect the Future?
September 14, 2008 by
First I don’t want to offend anyone here. That is a great question you asked. Here are my thoughts on it: I don’t think it is a good think to raise children without any serious type of morality. I mean, if you don’t believe in god, then what is the real punishment for being a [...]
Do You Think Church is Boring? Do Christians Have to Go to Church? Is it a Sin Not to?
September 11, 2008 by
Do I think church can be boring? Yes, which is one reason why I don’t attend often. I believe deeply in God, read the bible often, and even listen to messages and so forth online by preachers who I think make great points and teach well. I also believe in having “fellowship” with other people [...]
How Can I Get My Girlfriend or Boyfriend to Convert to My Christianity Religion?
September 11, 2008 by
When my wife and I first met, we weren’t really religious at all. We were both good people and all, but after we got married, I started to really examine life and the meaning of life and how it could have all started. I studied everything from science theories, the Bible, other religious views and [...]
If the Bible Has Been Changed, How Can We Know it is God’s Word?
September 11, 2008 by
The dead sea scrolls proved the Bible has survived hundreds of years without any change. Hebrew scholars meticulously copies things and dedicated their entire lives to it. Almost any archaeologist or bible scholar can tell you that it is very accurate in the form we have today. The only thing that has changed, is the [...]
What Do Christians Think of the Dalai Lama? Will He Go to Heaven?
September 11, 2008 by
I think only God can truly judge someone, and He will judge them fairly. I can’t and never will say who will get to heaven and who won’t because I can’t see their whole heart and their whole mind like God can. We have all fallen short in the eyes of God at some point [...]
