Hypothetical question to those with "Faith"

I guess no one with faith would like to go anywhere near this question. I wonder why?

Seeming as no one with "Faith" seems to want to answer the question, maybe people without religious convictions might like to role play as someone of "Faith" to try and answer the question.

This could be entertaining

They won't be able to quote a bible verse to answer this one, the sheep can't actually think on their own, you won't get an answer, at least not an intelligent one.

Your spelling is atrocious!

"where your religious belief......."



You have a system of beliefs as well OP......although you might not call them "religious" beliefs.


You were not raised out in the forest by animals......but had information and beliefs fed to you since the day that you were born.......by parents, friends, teachers, society, writers, philosophers, etc., etc., etc.


You have incorporated various thoughts, viewpoints, etc of other human beings into your current belief system.


It might not be called Christianity......or have a formal name. There are 1000's of belief systems available out there.


We will label yours as: # 597.


Before I met Christ......my formal belief system was: # 314.


He came to me.....and corrected me......so I gave up # 314......and now follow Him.


"The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we our children of God."

Indeed.

However, I can't say that I haven't been there before. The sheep are just as important as we are.

Conquering the fear of hell isn't for the faint of heart.

I can ask you the very same question. What would you feel when you die and stand in front of the heavens gates?

I'm a man of faith, if, for some reason, my faith is proven to be wrong, I will feel upset, yes. But I will also feel glad as I lived my life being the best human being as I could.

So, if I'm wrong, I would have wasted some time worshiping a God that supposedly should exist, but nothing beyond that. But if you are wrong, then you have lost your soul. Who's got more to lose here?

HE lives, HE lives, HE lives within my heart. HE is my faith and I know HE lives.

You don't need faith for that.

Are you starting to see the bigger picture?

The Book of Isaiah......written approx. 700 B.C.

We don't know for sure how they will react when the truth is given. Some will be sickened unto death of body though. Others will totally NOT face it and remain as they are to the end.

I consider consumerism a sort of "faith" in and of itself. Your reply made me think of that.

this doesn't make any sense. Jesus Christ is the Lord God an you will never be able to prove He isn't because He is... so that would never happen. Dumb question Op, its called an education, get one.

And here's the pot calling the kettle black. Prove that he is, rather than regurgitating some writings from a book. Prove it.

one should never be ashamed to share with others love, peace, hope and joy.....

these are all good things to pass on.



helping the poor, the helpless, the less fortunate.....

these are all good things as well.

I will never be ashamed to pass on the attributes of faith in GOD.

Why do you need faith in God to help the poor, helpless and less fortunate?

Love, peace, hope and joy are because of faith in God? Interesting.

It's sad that you people are mind controlled to think you need faith in God to manifest these attributes.

The entire concept of "God" that most of you think of was cunningly crafted by your controllers. Watch THX 1138.

I'm sure the coffers of the churches of your different faiths' are eternally happy. If you don't contribute, you'll go to hell!

It is not a science class.


God's mechanism for salvation is by faith......believing without seeing.


The Jews many times saw the miracles of God firsthand......but were soonafter in rebellion against Him.

This entire reply made no sense. Can you elaborate?

Believing without seeing. I think your notion of "seeing" and mine are two different things.

No its not. Its from the determined will to understake eternal life. One always has it anyway unless rejected. It is an individual decision.

Well said, and I agree. People without faith find it comforting to mock those different than they are, yet they expect those they are mocking to respond with love. I would agree that there are those who talk the talk, but do not walk the walk so to speak.

The bottom line is this: people of faith should demonstrate their faith with their example, and let their deeds speak for them. If they do not, then it becomes clear that they do not believe what they are saying, and they are more conflicted than those they have decided to judge.

Well said :)

Nice to see you again :-)

I would just isolate myself and regroup my thoughts.

shit happens.

You too sir. For the record, I was not mocking anyone :) I was just using a little logic, that's all :) I'm also a theist...but not in the sense that most theists are. (hard to explain).

It's always better to find out you may be in error, than to live your life in error and never finding out the truth.

I understand - what frustrates you about religious people frustrates me just the same. Anyone who lives their life in contradiction is difficult to relate to, much less understand.

What is your answer?

Indeed. You are wise :)

Yes, this is known as good values. Depends on how one is brought up.
Ever hear: do unto others as you wish them to do unto you?
I am old enough to have lived in the times kids were brought up properly.
The newer generations have a lot to learn or we are all in a pickle.
