The sad truth is, there is a lot of corruption and badness (sin) in the world. Almost everywhere you go, it is there and it can be hard living day to day around these people (that curse, talk about sex, drugs, mock God, and whatever else). It isn’t cool making fun of God, and I [...]
Why are Don’t Some Christians Love Thy Neighbor? Arrogent?
September 11, 2008 by
There are lots of so called “Christians” that go around acting like they are holier than thou. When the truth is, they are probably worse in God’s eyes, than someone who does bad and yearns to be a better person. I agree that they are wrong when they get this “I am better than you” [...]
Will the World End on December 21, 2012? What Does the Bible Say?
September 9, 2008 by
Great Question! It think the whole 2012 thing is interesting, and I have thought about it a lot. But I don’t think it is going to be the end of the world, and here is why. Personally I believe in God, and in terms of the Bible’s whole interpretation of the end in Revelation, it [...]
Why is the Old Testament Full of Violence, Idolatry, and Sin?
September 9, 2008 by
Some people often try to suggest that the Old Testament is somehow radically different from the New Testament. The truth is the OT is filled with a lot of stories of violence and brutal things. You have to keep in mind that society was quite a bit different then compared to today. Yes, God took [...]
Was the Sabbath Practiced before Moses Commandments?
September 9, 2008 by
First, I wasn’t there, so I am only speaking on pure speculation. But that is a very good question. We are told in Genesis that God did indeed enjoy His creation and rest. So from the start we can conclude that God did interpret it as appropriate since He did it. However, we are never [...]
If Evolution Doesn’t Exist, What About Vaccines and Resistant Bacteria?
September 9, 2008 by
Some people are quick to point out that bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics proves evolution exists. This is not necessarily true. In cases where a bacteria becomes resistent, it is generally considered to be due to other bacteria dying out without the normal genetic resistance, leaving only the bacteria that can survive the antibiotic naturally. [...]
How Would Childbirth Not Be Painful Before Adam and Eve’s Fall?
September 9, 2008 by
Sometimes people wonder how childbirth could not be painful. The bible seems to indicate that befor God punished Adam and Eve after their sin, He made it so that childbirth would be painful for the woman as a part of the punishment. So if that is the case, that seems to indicate childbirth would not [...]
Nothing Bad Has Ever Happened to Me, and I Don’t Believe in God?
September 9, 2008 by
One person recently wrote the following: Nothing bad has ever happened to me. I have never experienced death with anyone I know, and I have never had a bad problem or experience in life. The funny thing is, I don’t even believe in God. Shouldn’t God punish those who are bad, and reward those that [...]
Should Churches Use Gimmicks or Marketing to Attract Memberships?
September 9, 2008 by
Many times you may see a church giving away free gas, or offering a car wash, or having a large giveaway or something to that affect. So this raises a great question: Should churches use gimmicks or guerilla marketing methods to get attendance or memberships to increase? I suppose in my opinion, it really depends [...]
Does the Universe or Consciousness Have a Mind?
September 9, 2008 by
I believe the universe has a mind behind it, which is God. It doesn’t have a mind itself, no more than planet earth has a mind (planet earth also has energy and a “body” as well.). God created all matter, and all matter is connected to God. God is all that has ever existed. He [...]
Do You Believe in God or Practice Christianity to Avoid Hell?
September 4, 2008 by
I just believe in God and read the Bible because I believe it as truth. I don’t necessarily do it just because of a fear of hell. It is more of a fear of not being able to be in God’s presence, which is the worst part about hell. It is all negativity, sadness, bitterness, [...]
Do You Think the Pope Looks at Young Females? Does He Check out Chicks?
September 4, 2008 by
This is a question I recently responded to. Here was my reply: Are you talking about baby chickens? Yeah I think he does—Just kidding lol. Probably not since he is older. Usually people’s sex drive decreases with age, so I am guessing no. But of course no one, pope included, has led a perfect or [...]
Why Did God Create Evil? Why Does He Allow Suffering to Exist?
September 4, 2008 by
Great question! I don’t really think God did create evil. Of course evil exists, but I don’t think God created it necessarily. Let me explain: Did the creator of the alphabet, also create curse words (evil)? No, but the way it was designed, an individual could use it and do good (to spell appropriate words), [...]
Why Does God Want Us to Be Selfless and Self Sacrificing?
September 4, 2008 by
Because it is really the secret to happiness and fullfillment in life: putting others first. Just think about it for a second: Who is one of the richest people in the world? Then think why: they did something that helps a bunch of people. Thanks to good old Gates, you can use your computer right [...]
What is the Difference Between Faith and Belief?
September 4, 2008 by
A belief is just that: something we believe. You can believe things for a number of reasons. A “faith” simply means you stand by your belief, even if you don’t have all the answers. For example, you can believe that going to college will offer you a higher paying job. (you don’t know this for [...]
