To all christians

[Peetu]

Enlighten me on how Religion, or the understanding of God is common sense.

Knock-out.

Even though I disagree with him on God, I respect his opinion and whatsoever.

God/creation of the universe cannot be understood/explained with common sense, and I do not believe that you understand it all because of your religion classes.

ON-TOPIC.

IMO you can't justify evil things done on the Earth with the "Original sin" or single thing like that. It's just how we humans are, not God punishing us.

Even if God created us on this planet, and let us live free, and see what happens, it would be like taking part in a murder; watching but not reacting. On my country those kind of people go in jail.

 

[Peetu]

Believing in Jesus Christ, loving him and knowing that he died for our sins.

So if I did everything right, loved everybody around, helped other people as much as I could, I wouldn't get in heaven?

Because he can't leave.

Why?

God doesn't make mistakes. It was Adam's mistake.

God created Adam. Adam makes mistake. See the logic?

Like I've said before, He doesn't kill people. And also, like I said before, His reasons are His own. We can't understand them.

I see your point, but that's exactly what irritates me about religion, everything cannot be explained properly. You can just justify everything by saying "It's Gods will, we can't understand that"

I didn't say God was punishing us. Since Adam sinned, and we all came from Adam, we all sin.

Even if God created us on this planet, and let us live free, and see what happens, it would be like taking part in a murder; watching but not reacting. On my country those kind of people go in jail.

Once again, His reasons are His own. Don't question God.

is this just to christains or all religions?

Mostly Christians, but everyone else is welcome too. We're talking about Christian God now.

 

[Peetu]

Just a side-note. If Adam and Eve had children, and they were only people on earth, wouldn't the children have to make more children with their own sisters / brothers? I've always wondered this.

Once again, His reasons are His own. Don't question God.

Everything has an explanation. When, eventually, it is found out how the universe came here, what is the meaning of God then?


And finally, what does God mean to YOU?

 

[Kleenex]

Mostly Christians, but everyone else is welcome too. We're talking about Christian God now.

Remember, the Christian God is also the God of Jews and Muslims.

 

[Peetu]

Yes, but they all believe in him in a slightly different way.

By the way, what do you think about Jehovas' Witnesses?

Yes.

People won't figure out how the universe came about until they're dead. They'll figure out that God did it.

And finally, what does God mean to YOU?

What does God mean to me? I'm not sure how to answer that. He means everything, I guess.

 

[Kleenex]

Yes, but they all believe in him in a slightly different way.

By the way, what do you think about Jehovas' Witnesses?

Jehova's Witnesses take everything the Bible says out of proportion. They take one verse of the Bible, twist it around and end up doing something totally different than what God commands.

 

[Iminess]

God - a celestial being.
Does he feel all the emotions, and morals that us humans do?

 

[Schnell]

I didn't say God was punishing us. Since Adam sinned, and we all came from Adam, we all sin.


Once again, His reasons are His own. Don't question God.

Virgin Mary was born without original sin, so it is obviously in God's power to let people be born without it. What's the reason for keeping original sin?


Btw. I'm not questioning God, I'm questioning you and organized religion. There is no reason for me to question your imaginary friend directly, as he can't defend himself.

The Virgin Mary was born a sinner.

You're an idiot. The thread isn't about whether God is "imaginary" or not. If you have nothing to add here except for your utter ignorance, I suggest you leave this thread. You're not wanted.

 

[Schnell]

The Virgin Mary was born a sinner.

It's been made official that the Virgin Mary was indeed born without original sin.

Funny how you can claim God's existence and demand noone questions him without any falsifiable evidence, while I can't claim he's imaginary. But I agree, it's getting off topic so let's leave it at that.

According to the Pope, which is Catholic, not Protestant.

There's no evidence proving or disproving God's existence.

 

[Draton]

There's no evidence proving or disproving God's existence.

Then why support something that is as good as imagination?

 

[Vini]

Then why support something that is as good as imagination?

Imagination is what you 'think', your mocking all the christians by saying that.

 

[Schnell]

Imagination is what you 'think', your mocking all the christians by saying that.

Mocking or not, is it not accurate?

 

[Schnell]

I still see the Pope as a higher authority on Christian beliefs than you.
