Seraphina,

Oh, I have alot of questions for God... But I also accept the fact that I probably wouldn't understand the reasons even if they were told to me...
And what you call "blind faith", I call "true faith"... I give my complete trust in God, but that doesn't mean I dont have questions. I ask God about 100 questions a day, some are answered, some are not... But I always know that my faith is still true. I still know that no matter what questions I may have, and no matter what I dont understand, God does understand it all. He understand I have questions, he understands what people think, and how we are. I personally think God would be dissapointed with us if we didn't ask questions, its in our nature...

I also don't think Nxt2Hvn was saying your going to go to hell... But really if you think God is evil, why would you want to eternity with him?

just my opinions...

Would I follow a God that cast judgement down on his creations? Yes...

I believe in creationism... and see evolution as an attempt to abolish creationism... and that is my conclusion.

Do you really keep an open mind of what MIGHT BE or WHAT MIGHT NOT BE? That was not a question I am expecting an answer for but answer your self.

a non-believer cannot understand what it is like to be a believer just

I used to believe so I do know what it like Nxt2hvn Ido know.

Here is a way to look at it..... a non-believer cannot understand what it is like to be a believer just as a man can not understand what it is like to be a woman.

Once you believe.... and are truly a Christian... you don't just stop believing 

So obviously you don't really know

Well I have said before, the only reason I say "I believe" is because I really not looking to offend anyone by say "I know"...

To me God is as real as the air I breathe, or the water I drink... When I breathe in, I know air is entering my lungs... Just like when I pray, I know God hears me...

Just my beliefs though...

Wow Kiddies we've been busy haven't we?

Anyways, I wanted my 2 cents in here as well. Yippy Skippy for yas!



How come he only hears a select few peoples prayers and not everyones?



I too did believe in the beginning years of my life. I was so happy that I had sometype of Father although I couldn't see him or hear him. (oh wait thats like my real father...) I thought that I was loved by him, I prayed to him every single night. I didn't pray for selfish things, I prayed that he would look over my family and my friends. And even I would say, "Now I lay me down I pray the lord my soul to keep and if I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take." When I was getting beaten for not washing my hands before supper, I prayed to make the beatings stop. When I was getting raped every other night, I prayed so much that my chest and mind hurt from praying. But still, they were unanswered. It didn't stop for months. So obviously you don't know what it feels like to be betrayed by God, and that is how I felt. One father left me to fend for myself, and my Holy father did just the same.
I don't believe in either of them. Sorry to offend anyone.

No God that I can think of would let someone that is in need be hurt like this.

We can't blame God for the actions of men...

Who is the more guilty one? Both I say.
[right][snapback]472325[/snapback][/right]

God does hear you, and he does love you, even though you don't think he does...

They are seen as the Children of Rebekah. They are the ones who came out of hell, and they have quite a story to tell. They were in a sleep till Jesus died for sin. As God takes home over 200,000 per day, and some days He sends a cyclone and takes home a million. He needs a lot of greeters.

Yes you would say...
But I refuse to blame the innocent for the crimes of the guilty...
Who is responsible for the deaths of the 9/11 victims? Some would say God, because he did nothing to stop it... Blah.. The men who hijacked the planes are responsible...
WHoever did those horrible things to Free did it under thier own free will...
It was terrible what happened to Free, but she is alive, and is that not something to be happy about?

I have many many reasons not to believe in God. They are my personal experiences that lead me to believe that IF there was a God, why didn't he help me?

First thing, When I was born in 1980, My mom told my father that she was pregnate, he didn't want to have anything to do with us. My mom was 18. So I was raised without my father. During those years it was hard. Actually, Hard isn't even remotely close to what I had to endure during my childhood. My mom did as much as she could to provide for my brother and I. We were on welfare, jumped from house to house, we lived in a car for a week when I was 3. We survived, not on faith of God, but from friends and the goverment. Our meals consited of tv dinners, salsbury steak broiled in a bag, goverment cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Tang and powdered milk. Eventually, my mom went back to school to finish up and get a great career to care for her 2 children and not have to have the goverment help her raise us.

Second, My mom had boyfriends trying to find a suitable father figure for my brother and I, there were some bad seeds. And One Really bad seed, in which when I was 7 he raped me repeatedly and all I could do was pray to God to have him stop. He didn't hear my prayers cause the sexual abuse and the physical abuse didn't stop for months until he beat my mom horribly. He took her outside and bashed her head against the concrete. He didn't beat us nearly as bad, but seeing my mom getting hurt, hurt us as bad as the beatings. Needlesstosay, God didn't come to 'save us', my uncle did and had the s.o.b. put in jail. That was the night that I finally said something about the rapings. It is very hard for a 7 year old girl to come into a court room and see the man who ripped your already pathedic life apart, and get some justice. He was sententced to 15-40 years.

Third, I lived in fear for many years. When I was in 6th grade I tried numerous times to kill myself. I wanted out of this hell of a life. Why would a God put one family through so much pain and agony? Doesn't he have any compassion for a child? I drew a picture of me holding a gun to my head, tears streaming down my face, and I drew pictures of some of my classmates who were terribly mean to me telling me that I was worthless, ugly, and to pull the trigger. This picture put me into an institution for children with 'problems' for 2 weeks. I didn't find God in there, I found 'Life' and friends.

I felt as if the Good Book, missed alot of pages. There probably was a guy named Jesus. I feel if Christians are so 'for' God, why don't they smoke marijuana. If God created everything on this earth that is natural. I am sure he didn't put marijuana on this planet for us to look at. And for all those people to believe they saw a man walk across the water, MUST have been smoking something. Hmm.

I still can't believe in something that brings so much pain. I didn't eat the damn apple so why did I have to suffer?

He took my grandma away from us in a freek accident this year. 5 days before her FAVORITE holiday, Christmas. I am so mad at him if he exists. I didn't deserve to have a life like this. My grandma didn't deserve to die like that. SHe was only 72! I am a good person with a good heart, My grandma was a great person and a great heart! I did believe in this God when I was young, but he never helped me, I had to help myself with the help of my family. He torchured me, he brought hell into my life. No child derseves this abuse. I was an innocent child. All children are innocent and He hasn't helped any of us.

I do believe in somethings though, Myself and the Power of Family and Friends.

Whoah, what a crappy Childhood

With due respect you do not have to live with the  memories, God does not have to, "she has to" and is doing very good at it. What do you see wrong with that. I see very much wrong. Again I ask "If there is a God where was he when he was needed? Out killing more people? You say the death of the spirit is worse than the death of the body? Look what things like this do to the human spirit.

It is nice you have met your makers. Toss a stone in the pond, You can be a maker of waves. But you did not create the stone, or the pond. or the arm you used to toss it.

Ask your parents if they will make you a sibling, But do it from scratch, Use nothing alive. Just water, a few chemicals, Zap it with a little electricity, You know, Have your MAKERS prove they can make.

You are just a reproduction, Tell them to make an original.

The Bible shows the concepts of those out of hell being at the gate, speaking to the enemies. Hell ended the third day, it is Heaven's gate. God speaks in similitudes, in parables. You have to look close, and study hard.

I listed the verses in the post which will lead you to the concept. They are as Children sent forth as Arrows, out of the Sepulchre, they speak to the enemies in the gate.

(GENESIS 24:60) And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou
art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and
let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them. (KJV)

And they possess the gate of Heaven, and those who hate God, hate them. But they have plenty of time to chat, It is not like there is somewhere else to go.

Don't worry about him light... he is the saddest person on this forum.

I just ignore him!

... They will be judged for what they did...


this is just my humble opinion...

Mekorig,
Maybe your fanatic anti-christian nonsense isnt taken seriously... 

Yes while Ken does come off as a little pushy, he is still just giving his own opinions, and really thats what this forum is all about... I am a christian, but I don't even know about some of the things he says, but he is still entitiled to speak his own mind...


this is just my humble opinion...
