Jesus was here 2000 years ago and the Bible says he is God. The Bible is then confirmed with a long HISTORY & SCIENCE. There are no older religions. The book of Genesis was written by firsthand witnesses including Adam, the first man. (Wiseman Hypothesis on origins of Genesis) Just because there are many other religions does not then mean there are none true. On the contrary, add atheism to the list of false pagan beliefs. You do see the circular reasoning in your first sentence, do you not? Christianity is a myth you complain on GLP when someone says Christianity is myth yet don't the log in your own hypocritical eye Jesus is a historic fact. Your denial will not change this. You only lie to yourself. Here is a quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica concerning the testimony of the many independent secular accounts of Jesus of Nazareth: "These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus, which was disputed for the first time and on inadequate grounds by several authors at the end of the 18th, during the 19th, and at the beginning of the 20th centuries."

Hell in the bible always means the grave never does it mean a place of torture. People who teach that God tortures people who do not believe in him are really doing God no favours by spreading lies about him. Jesus died and spent 3 days and nights in hell(the grave) Hell is death and has nothing to do with the Hades from greek tradition. It is an abomination to even think that God who is love, will torture some people for eternity. The bible teaches that people have free will, God brought you nto existence from non existence and gives you the opportunity to extend that existence to eternal existence. And if you do not extend it then you cease to exist and have lost nothing and gained a life experience.How to extend it? well it can be extended by accepting Jesus Christ as your saviour. There is no other way. |

Ad, funny how you always seem to inspire me... :) I have often thought the exact same thing, but you have to consider that God made us in His image with free will... and is choosing soul energy that is compatible with His eternal creation... so many talk about a "bearded man" and other childish notions... not the Creator of all... we must learn humility or be incompatible to Gods will--to not make this choice in a sense would make us a cancer to creation... Lucifer was created as perfect and chose to rebel, as did the other fallen angels... as do some of God's creations here in the occult who know better... so God cannot tell everyone... we must make the choice ourselves to believe... this is the directive of free will and the creative process... we are vibratory energy either harmonizing or becoming dissonant with Gods song... we get to choose, but God cannot make the choice for us...

Merci User ID: 1499647 United States 12/12/2012 06:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a Christian I believe:One sends oneself to Hell by not living according to the Way..taught by Christ Hell is the absence of Love..Love which is God because God is Love If 'God' is love why does the bible say that he created evil and why did 'God' create Satan and demons by which to remove souls from love? An honest question. God is speaking to you. Is God really the one who created evil? To answer the question we must first look at how the word for evil, "rah," is used in the Bible. First of all, the Hebrew word for evil, "rah" is used in many different ways in the Bible. In the KJV Bible it is translated as "evil" over 600 times. The other 200 and some odd times it is translated as wicked, bad, hurt, harm, ill, sorrow, mischief, displeased, adversity, affliction, trouble, calamity, grievous, misery, and trouble. So we can see that the word does not require that it be translated as evil. This is why different Bibles translate this verse differently. It is translated as "calamity" by the NASB and NKJV; "disaster" by the NIV; and "woe" by the RSV. Second, the context of the verse is speaking of natural phenomena. "I am the Lord, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known Me; 6That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, 7The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these," Isaiah 45:5-7. Notice that the context of the verse is dealing with who God is, that it is God who speaks of natural phenomena (sun, light, dark), and it is God who is able to cause "well-being" as well as "calamity." Contextually, this verse is dealing with natural disasters and human comfort issues. It is not speaking of moral evil; rather, it is dealing with calamity, distress, etc. This is consistent with other scriptures. |
