I hate this world.
-
Why did God even create this world in the first place?? If God is so forgiveful and mercyful, why did He send us to Earth to suffer just because Eve and Adam ate an apple from a forbidden tree? Then He send His own son to die on cross for our sin? If our sin is no longer existed, why aren't we in Heaven now? The more I read the bible, the more it doesn't make sense. The more I pray, the more I suffer. Why... :(:doh::sigh: I hate this world.
Grow up and learn the world isn't centered around you. The tigress is here :-D

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?” [Epicurus]

I disagree. It would be malevolent to override freewill and relegate his actions to puppet mastery. If there is freewill, there will be evil, if there is no freewill then we're all just a bunch of puppets with no value. Can't have it both ways. Someday humans need to jump off this bandwagon and realize that they're responsible for their own behavior. This statement is false.

Hmmm, just last week, I received a pack of 58 CD-ROM of Audio Bible. Guess what, I will be playing two each day to make listen to the whole Bible every month! Now, brother break it down...which parts does not make sense to you and why?

Simply, probably you do not have a relation to the one you are speaking to, or you are simply not yet His child. Definitely, if you email my grand-father for a new car he will not send it to you. At least for one thing, he does not know you. Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

This is a birthright. Not something earned.

The theory is omnipotence and knowing it all, so your statement is under false assumptions, and implies a limited deity, which then, wouldn't be all knowing. This guy is just a troll looking to spark controversy with played out tired old themes. Change the tape man.

Only serves to let us appreciate joy. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." -- Stephen Crane
At the root of all suffering is desire. The key to desire is to desire that which you already have. This statement is false.

Yes, I believe in it, it's called Faith. But I think I'm losing faith. :sigh:
Well, expect a bill from the community then for treating us like your therapist. Its free code and tutorials, not free therapy. This statement is false.

Oh! is it very simple. By sin, we sold our birthright. The sin of Adam/Eve separated us from the Love of God. Now, let me use the Bible;
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 says, sin results in death (spiritual separation from God)
The wages of sin is death.
John 3:16 says
God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life....and John 1:12 says
As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
CHILDREN of God, even to those who believe in His name.Chris S Kaiser wrote:

Of course, I will not equate my dead grand-father to God. I used that to illustrate a point, knowing that I was not speaking to a child. Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody. -- modified at 15:49 Wednesday 19th July, 2006

Alright, this is skirting the edges and really belongs in the soapbox. I'll answer this last one. You guys are friggin' hilarious. And I say that as an Agnostic Christian, dispite the cognizant dissonance this might generate in you. Jesus' entire message was that we are all sons and daughters of God. That's it. The fatherhood of God coupled with the Brotherhood of Man/Woman. Get it straight. Only one thing is required. Faith. That's it. Also, his was the message of the Kingdom of God. The spiritual kingdom that includes everyone and is here now. That's the Good News. He waited til John the Baptist died before beginning as John was the one preaching the message of repentence. Upon that platform he spread the new message of the Good News. Fatherhood and Brotherhood. He never preached any religion based on his resurrection. That was first Peter, and then Paul. They changed the religion from one of Jesus to one about Jesus. So, no. You can't stop being a child of God, you can only forget. And it is this forgetting that generates the results of "the wages of sin is death" as Sin is the knowing attitude against God. So you drive yourself away. Most of those quotes are from the old testament and a result of the Jewish attitude during captivity in Babylon. That's it. Further rants of this nature belong in the SoapBox, and you are not obligated to believe a word I said. This statement is false.

...and there are many out there trying hard to build a room that will fit there. Some even rewrote the Bible to their own taste. I will make it short, Peter was assigned a job and he did it, so was Paul. They did not come on their own and claimed to have PhD in religion. Christianity itself is not a religion, it is about Jesus Christ the Son of God. Please make specific quotes from the Bible, or whichever book is your source of the religious theory. Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.
