Questions for people who say Christians can't accept evolution

[MorningGlory]

Answer the question. Why do you not preach against people who work on the Sabbath but preach against homosexuals? Where's your right to pick and choose what to follow in the Bible?

Simple. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. As long as you set aside one day for the Lord, it does not matter which one it is, but that is in scripture, something you know nothing about. However, homosexuality is spoken against in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Revelation 21:1-8

All Things Made New

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying,

The followers of Christ have God and atheists definitely do not. That why there's a 'a' before 'theist'...it means absence of, or without.

Well sure, we "have" faith in God and "have" salvation through Him but it's not as though we've got him in our corner against the atheists or something like that. God is technically in everyone's corner, in that He loves everyone and wants them to have a relationship with Him.

Yes, you're correct. But those who deny Him will not have Him when it counts the most. He would have none perish but, eventually, judgment comes. I know God is not against atheists; He wants them for His Kingdom. Some will never come to Him though and that's just incredibly sad.

Too bad more people aren't homosexuals.

Are you homosexual?

No, but I have plenty of homosexual friends (they're fantastic people by the way). And to the other question, there is no hell. I'm not scared of things that don't exist. And I think its deplorable to preach hell to kids to scare them into believing in god.

It's a parent's job to secure their child's salvation by teaching and example....it doesn't always work but what greater love than looking out for your child's soul?

Depends on what you do to your kid. Children are extremely gullible unfortunately. I remember being at Ranch Camp when I was younger and part of this camp was teaching "God's love." The problem is, the Bible passages the counselors chose to read to us at night were all about the devil. They made two young girls cry because of how scared they were of the devil. I had never seen such glee in someone's eyes. That's when I lost all ability to believe in god. That wasn't right.

So, because of a couple of clueless idiots who get their gollies out of scaring kids, you stopped believing in God?

Parents, Christopher....parents. The counselor must have been an idiot. Why would you lose your ability to believe in God because some human acted badly?

Why is this atheist heretic still here? I am asking any and all moderators to do something and now, please. This is not the stated purpose of Worthy Boards.

By definition, an atheist is a heretic. But I hate to see them shut out because who needs to hear the Word more?

You are right to a point.

All are allowed here, but none are supposed to try to undermine the Word of God and our Faith therein. That is specifically prohibited.

I know. I'm glad I'm not a mod for that reason.

Yup. Because its a fail-safe method to make sure your kid believes. "God loves you and you should follow his rules so you can go to heaven....and if you don't you'll go to a fiery lake in hell and burn forever."

Then your faith in God was only in your head and not in your heart. You thought God was real, which is not the same as having faith in Him. You throw away all hope because of a couple of people who gets their kicks out of scaring kids. Pretty sad reason to gamble your eternity with.

If you are right, then Christians are the most sorrowful bunch of people the world will ever know ... BUT .. if we are right, you loose for eternity. That is a very long time to regret a decision you made because of a couple of people playing on the fears of another. I would recheck your childhood decisions.

I agree; the consequences of the wrong decision are too awful to contemplate.

Yessiree Bob, either I or ChristopherCarlin are most certainly wrong. I'd rather be me and be wrong than him. Whew, even the thought of that eternal Lake of Fire promised to unrepentant transgressors makes me nervous in the service as we used to say. It still applies now because I am in the service of the Lord my God.

I can't believe. I just can't. And forcing myself to "believe" won't be a true conversion anyways. The way I see it, because I can't believe and because any conversion would be seen as fake by an all powerful all knowing god, I'm going below regardless.

That being said, I don't worry about it because I know its not true.

I will continue to pray for you, Christopher. Believe it, or not, believers would rather see you in the Kingdom with us.
