Anonymous Coward User ID: 6444425 Spain 12/13/2012 04:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm Christian & I couldn't care. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27963234 Why do Christians take it so personally, does ONE sign on a BUILDING effect your faith? If so your faith must be weak, if not then why do you care? Because I love Him..Because we Love Him Would you like it if they posted a billboard of someone you love of a pic of the moment when he or she was most suffering and a sign saying Dump Them? Do you love his spirit or his flesh? If it was revealed that Jesus was dark-skinned (black) would you love him all the same? I've seen some threads with christians arguing over the physical appearance of Jesus and it confuses me greatly. Gosh thats a strange question.. I love Him because no one can ever love like Him Its the goodness and the love in Him that I Love |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 6444425 Spain 12/13/2012 04:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I Love Jesus because He could love like no other..the true unconditional pure warm..eternal love..that loved didnt love because one was perfect didnt love because one never sinned loved despite all that and more thats why I Love Him because of how He loved.. Its a tragedy to know that love and to not see it present in this world too often |

One would assume the holes in his feet might prevent this. What other superpowers does he have? Bullet proof (obviously he wasn't nail or spear proof)? Xray vision? Powerful windy breath? Icy breath? Inhuman strength? Sticky climby power? Invisibility? Deathray eyes? Flea-like bounding ability? And did he wear his loin cloth over his robes? Very interesting this Jesus fellow! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29779352 Canada 12/13/2012 08:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Come on, it's just plain intolerant and rude. If they put up a billboard against the Muslim faith they would be crucified. (pun intended). What exactly do atheist wish to accomplish with this anyway? Have they become a religion unto themselves where they need to propagate and spread their 'gospel'? To not believe is one thing but to try and convert others is quite the other and seemingly outside the parameters of their claims of neither here nor there. They are on the war path of sorts and this tells me that they are threatened and intimidated by the faith of others. Christians are mandated to spread their gospel at their own peril and ridicule, atheists on the other hand have no rule book nor any preacher who sends them on such a mission of ministry, unless of course they do have a 'leader'??? I chalk it up to a sign of the times and if any are to be lost, they were going to be lost regardless of any 'witnessing' from atheists. If heaven and hell do exists, nothing like being the ones to lead others to hell. It really should make one ponder their motives. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27963234 If its by putting up that sign then so be it. I don't care if you're Atheist, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim or Hindu or even FSM... Enjoy you're holiday, enjoy being with your friends & family. WOW! CONGRATULATIONS you are a rarity amongst believers from my experience. I often ask - Are you representing your GOD well? and you answer that question with a loud yes. Well Done! A very refreshing attitude and correct understanding. |

Most of the people are on the broad road." Jesus says, "I did not come to do away with the law but to enforce it." Jesus says, "If you do not HATE your father, mother, wife, husband, kids and yourself, you can't follow me." Jesus says, "If your righteousness is not like that of the Pharisees (who followed all 700 and more crazy Old Testament laws) you cannot go to heaven." Jesus says, "Be perfect, as my Father (who tortures his enemies forever) is perfect." If you call this "love" UNCONDITIONAL I fear you have lost your mind.

When you depict Jesus on the cross with a crown of thorns, this is exploitative. We as Christians never harass, intimidate or insult atheists. But they can't seem to say, 'We simply disagree with you.' They have to insult us." Quoting: christian THE HOLY BIBLE RESPONDS JUST TO THIS MESSAGE!!! MATTHEW 5:11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. seems like insulting Christianity is the favorite hobby of some people... I feel sorry for them though. They can't experience the true beauty in this world. I did tend to turn towards materialism/atheism at some points in my life, but I cannot explain how much more sense this whole life makes, and how much happier I became when I became certain of God. I hope these people will have the chance to experience it one day blessings to you Well said. I agree totally and will pray for the people who funded this travesty! Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess!!!! Harper77 |

See, this is why God is so good, He, unlike some humans, will allow you to believe these words you penned, although you, nor anyone else, can prove one of them. Not one of those 'copy and paste' jobs was there to witness what we read in the Bible and who ever wrote what you have quoted still had to rely on the 'written' opinion of some other 'man'. Now that is faith, sir. Christians choose to believe the written, witness account of those who actually lived at the time of Jesus Christ and have 4 of those witness' testimonies, more than even the majority of court cases we see today. And further more, be happy that you can believe such, for a day will come where even the unbeliever will be asked to choose a religion/lifestyle and it won't be God's, it will be another and your life will depend on your answer, where as, God at least still gives you the freedom to live and believe as you choose. |

That's been debunked hundreds of times. Christians were fed to the lions? So what, Romans fed everyone to the lions. You all don't seem to remember what happened immediately following the council of Nicea, when the Christians murdered the pagans of Europe and destroyed their culture and places of worship. Some God-loving people you speak of. Still a myth though, lol. |

You may convince some sheeple by using subliminal programming and repeating the words over and over again..but those of us that think are not so easily brainwashed..we cant all be getting it wrong .. Plus we have the Shroud..thats not even counting all the historical data that dates back to the First Century..that was very recent timing..The Roman Empire bears witness to this amazing phenomena..called Christianity..that rocked its very foundations.. People died..whole families..fed alive to the lions and wild beasts..we arent talking of families say one thousand years later..this is around the first century..when many people were flocking from Palestine to Rome to escape possible religious persecution because of being faithful to Christ ..these people spread the Good News...many eye witnesses to events..or with direct contact with people that had witnessed the events.. We are not talking about something that happened Two Million years ago.. Subliminal programming? Look up the definition of the word "myth". Christ fits the definition of one. The Shroud? That's been debunked hundreds of times. Christians were fed to the lions? So what, Romans fed everyone to the lions. You all don't seem to remember what happened immediately following the council of Nicea, when the Christians murdered the pagans of Europe and destroyed their culture and places of worship. Some God-loving people you speak of. Still a myth though, lol. The Shroud debunked a hundred times? lol..in your dreams.. Any queries Ill be too pleased to try and help you with it..it is an amazing..piece of evidence in my opinion..that can be fully appreciated today thanks to the technology at our disposal.. |
