"Scaff, post: 10618200, member: 15439"]A movie that starts with a flawed and outdated premise from a man who died in 1965 (do you honestly think that all research into ancient Eygpt stopped at that point and has gone no further), then cherry picks information and makes claims without any basis in fact to force a point.
Why do you think this has not been published as a peer reviewed research paper that has re-written our knowledge of the time period in question?
Because unlike evolution, they want to be sure of something they are claiming, and they have the faith that God will reveal it to them. Also, the governments fund the illuminati, that controls everything, besides the bible...
It doesn't. You don't understand science (but that has been clear for a while).
Maybe so, but as dumb as you might see me, I still have achieved everything I have in life, which again proves that I don't need to understand something that doesn't benefit me. A thousand years ago, I'm sure I would still be blessed.
Why not Thor or Odin or Ganesha?
What can you show that will convince me that Christ is real and they are not (and do not say pray or open you heart - you assume I have not been down that route in my life).
What do these gods offer you? Something convenient like doing enough good deeds, to get you to a better place.
Science gods offer you nothing, just becoming a plant, micro-organism or soil. Isn't that just an easy way to think that there is no negatives to worry about ever.
Jesus proclaims everything. Tells you why this world is suffering, and getting worse. He is trying to warn you through his words of what is to come, yet you make it seem too far fetched and impossible. You call His prophecies vague, and that you need more proof. Are these other gods warning you enough because they love you and want the best for you?
You cannot say you went down the prayer route already and nothing happened. Your heart is filled with many desires.
Jesus says you cannot serve God and mammon. it's why there is no connection.
Seek He "first", the Kingdom of God and His "righteousness". Go to Him with faith, not with desires.
It has done on at least three separate occasions.
Jesus has never to my knowledge worked in the development of either passive or active vehicle safety features. They are however a product of the scientific method and have saved me from serious injury and/or death.
Thousands of people have died with seatbelts on. Were you racing, or just driving innocently. Lots of things to consider.
I've told you before, you have been given chances. I heard a powerful testimony from an ex Atheist Todd White. You'd be surprised what these people face, yet come out victorious, and are able to share it. I hope you could you tube him, and hear is story. I can find it for you if you want.
No you were not. You quite clearly said that those who the devil had tricked would take their own lives and then put me into the group that the devil had tricked.
Why are you being so misleading on this? Why do you refuse to answer questions in a straightforward manner?
Okay yes, the devil wants people to believe something that is contradictory to the word of God. You are not killing yourself here and now in the flesh, but you are destroying yourself in the spirit. You haven't grasped the concept yet. Perhaps Todd White might help you understand this.
I cannot show you love with words on a forum. If you are not reading it, thinking I don't care, then obviously you would think I'm wasting your time.
Told my closed minded Christian father that I'm Agnostic......... horrible idea. We got into the subject of religion for some reason. He mentioned when he used to be the boss at a Montgomery Ward, he would talk to his atheist workers and push Christianity onto them without saying he forced it. For example, when they were on a smoke break, dad would go outside and tell the atheist workers to look the sky and trees. How did they get there, he asked. Also, holding up a phone and talk about how the phone was made by the materials on Earth that a god put it there.
A minute before this story, he said he never pushes his religion upon others............................. He went on talking about religion for 20 minutes without any contribution from me. I was thinking should I speak my Agnostic thoughts or should I not. So, I went for it, shrugged my shoulders, told him I'm going to regret saying this, and told him I'm agnostic. He attempted to not show any emotion, but he leaked some emotions of anger. I was so nervous after revealing myself that I couldn't give straight answers as to why I believe what I do.
Now I'll just wait for him to send me emails about finding God like he occasionally would beforehand. Luckily my mom already knew I was Agnostic and she was perfectly cool with it. She even thought that she could be Agnostic as well. After going through this event, there is no f-ing way am I telling my Christian conservative father that I'm bisexual.
Now I told my mom about the conversation. She's proud of me for opening up to my father, but she feels sorry that I don't believe. Excuse me lady?! Feel free to dislike an opposing opinion. But, you shouldn't feel sorry for someone for not believing what you believe.
I'm sure your father loves you dearly, and yet he knows your destination as you keep writing off Christ.
Your dad doesn't give up, and he can spark a general conversation about God.
I don't see him doing anything wrong, and he certainly isn't forcing Christ on people. If one of those people actually were interested, they would later ask him to discuss further. That is the gospel.
That being said, your dad doesn't realise that heaven is so perfect, that which ever loved one didn't make it to heaven, they would have never existed.
I'm not saying your father will be happy for this, but he has to accept that you, his son, is not interested.
I can't blame your mom for feeling sorry either. They respect your choice, because you choose the world.
Every now and then, they will keep planting the seed. Just understand that they care.
