What if they do not have any proof but they claim to "experience" God in their lives?Originally posted by SixSentinels:and have u proof of the existance of god? have u seen him? if you've only heard of god then it is only rumor that he exists and are you stupid enough to believe every rumor u hear? so what if it is written down in the bible? that is the word of man, not of god. and time and history has distorted all fact now it is almost indistinguishable from fiction...
It is not a rumour. If you believe that the scripture is distorted by history, then explain to me, why are prophecies coming true? The prophecies of Isaiah, for example.Originally posted by SixSentinels:and have u proof of the existance of god? have u seen him? if you've only heard of god then it is only rumor that he exists and are you stupid enough to believe every rumor u hear? so what if it is written down in the bible? that is the word of man, not of god. and time and history has distorted all fact now it is almost indistinguishable from fiction...

Jesus Christ was a [b]REAL historical figure, no doubt about that. It is also a historical fact that he died on the cross for our sins. It is also believed by many that he rose from the dead. [/b]

Why would there be 15 000 similar copies of the Bible found in ancient times if it was rubbish?
Conditions during the Great Flood were ideal for "fossilizing" millions of animals, plants and even dinosaurs.
Doesn't that explain your fossils?
Also, to clarify what I had said earlier, LOVE and PEACE cannot be present without HATE and WAR.
Love is without hate. Hate is without love. Both cannot survive without the existenceof each other. Man must learn to denounce hate before he can really love, or else he would just be loving because he can't be doing anything else.
Think about it.

Many Christians believe and they say the belief changed their lives. How do you account for that?Originally posted by hxm:how do you know that he was real? and that he died on the cross? have you seen it yourself? all these are just hearsay. at the time of jesus christ's birth, china was already a highly advanced country. and jesus had to be born in the middle east to spread the message of salvation? god is almighty, he could have sent his only son to china. no, in fact he is almighty, he does not even need a messenger. jesus christ died a brutal death because he was the leader of a cult, christianity. the roman leaders were unhappy with his growing influence. died for my sins?
god is almighty, he can make love exist without hate. god loves all of us right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell
The Christian idea of Hell is different from the Sheol of Judaism. The nature of Hell is described in the New Testament on several occasions. For example, in Matthew 3:10-12, Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:29-30, Matthew 8:12, Matthew 22:13, Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:41-46, Luke 3:9, Luke 12:5, Luke 13:28, Luke 16:19-28, and the Revelations 12:9, Revelations 14:9-11, Revelations 19:20, Revelations 20:10, Revelations 20:14-15, Revelations 21:8; in the Book of Revelation Hell is also mentioned as the "abyss" and "the Earth".
The population of Hell comprises the souls of those who died without accepting Christ as their saviour, God's grace, in sin and without repentance, although beliefs on these categories differs among Christian denominations.

The Buddha was a real historical figure, Prophet Mohammad too, so you're saying that Buddhism and Islam must be true faith too

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!Originally posted by MooKu:The answer to life, the universe and everything is forty-two.
How do you know there is a universe? Maybe we are merely consciousness-es floating in nothing.
But anyway, this question was [urlhttp://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=61376]asked before [/url]by me when I was still young, but I don't think we delved so much into religious issues.
There is a point for asking who or what created us, because that would explain the purpose of our existence. But I don't think it's really worth pondering and analyzing and debating over. Since we're already here, we might as well make the most out of every second in the way we like it. Then maybe, after we breathe our last we may finally find the answer?
what inconvenience?Originally posted by laurence82:SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!

You didnt read the whole book didnt you?Originally posted by MooKu:what inconvenience?
It is so sad isn't it? Some poeple can type the words but their minds are mush. They probably heard the nonsense from some other believers of the same kind and then vomit it out for the rest of us to appreciate after the indigestion. But you don't have to be so hard on the mentally challenged do you?Originally posted by hxm:http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinofossils/Fossilhow.html
"Some animals were quickly buried after their death (by sinking in mud, being buried in a sand storm, etc.). Over time, more and more sediment covered the remains. In the right circumstances (no scavengers, quick burial, not much weathering), parts of the animal turned into fossils over time."
a quick burial. how many days of rain again? 40 days and 4o nights? no fossils would be formed under such conditions. please rebut all our arguments, especially sixsentinel's.
Unfortunately we have to continue doing this because some of these believers need to be saved from their stupidity. Otherwise it makes life difficult for the rest of us.Originally posted by MooKu:The answer to life, the universe and everything is forty-two.
