what is with you religious nut jobs?.. always wish for something bad to befall on others. so what did god say about wishing bad thing for people? how can you justify your deep evil wishes for all to suffer? have i ever wish for something bad or disastrous to happen to you, kinana and the other religious believers?
the next we would know is you will condone burning of heretics at the stake!!
what is your ground to believe in a person who died 2000 years ago, which history claimed he can rise from the dead, walk on water, turn water to wine, heal the blind? all these are so outlandish that it will take fools to believe them without any evidence. when David copperfield walked thru' the great wall of china or make a train disappear, you will know that it is an illusion. likewise, those cheap tricks that fooled those people 2000 years ago will not fool most now... well, except for some.
stem cell research is a MUST for humanity's medical field to progress. i am all for it.
at least in the koran, Mohammed didnt claim all sort of magic tricks to smoke people to believe. that is one credit i give to him.
Dear Fishy,
You have got it all wrong and got all confused.....The wrath of God is mentioned many, many times in the Bible. Everyone, whether you are a truly born-again Christian or not are subject to the wrath of God. There is no need to wish for evils to befall on others....because it will just simply happen...But the redeeming blood of Jesus can save us in the sense that we can suffer in this world but if we press on and move forward, have faith in His finished work on the cross, we are assured of a place in His heavenly kingdom.
Our job here as a truly born-again Christian is to share the truth and we know that truth hurts. People like to hear...it's ok, it's fine....so long we do good, so long we are good person.....really? You think so...can you tell people how good are you (and if you ask me the same question, let me tell you...I am terrible, terrible....nothing good in me!).
You see, by the world's standard, so long we don't steal, we don't kill, we are ok and we are good....yes, by world standard, 90% or even more are good if we go by this reasoning. But the sad truth is that this is not the standard of God. We may not have stolen things from people (physically-speaking) but our mind has, at one time or another, covet things belonging to other people; we may not have committed adultery, but our mind has, at one time or another had lustful desires; we may not have killed people but our mind, at one time or another hated other people for no reasons. By God standard, you don't need to physically carry the actions. Just by your thought, you are already guilty in God's eye. This is God's standard and He is not going to compromise!
As one preacher has said this before: All we need is to put all our thoughts...just what we have thought about from the day we go to school to now and put them on video and play to our friends, we can be very sure that in less than 15 minutes, we will be so ashame of our thoughts, and as a matter of fact, our 'best' friends who have watched our video will become our instant enemies.....they couldn't believe what we have thought of them.....they thought (wrongly of course) we are their good friends....but in our mind (and our heart) we are desiring their properties, perhaps their beautiful daughters or wives! You can be offered for thousands of dollars to produce your 'thought-video' and I can bet that you will never, never have the courage to put all your past thoughts on video....the video of your (and my) thoughts are simply too much for anyone....even youself (and myself) will not even dare to view them!
Frankly, what the preacher has said is no exerggeration. WE ALL HAVE SKELETONS IN OUR CLOSET! (Period!!!) We have dark secrets and only God knows....so Fishy.....YOU THINK YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON....YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE THE WRATH OF GOD.
Are you confused???? Are you an atheist or not.....you don't seem to have made up your mind....read one of my earlier threads in response to your 'testimony' and see that you are quite confused of what an athiest is....and you couldn't even to decide whether you are one or not.
