I went out to eat on Sunday after church, and I saw a guy with a shirt on that said, "What would Thor do?"

I wanted to go over and talk to him about it. I'd like to hear his beliefs about Thor.

Do you think someone is inviting a conversation when they wear a shirt like that, or is it just supposed to be a jab at christians? After all, if I were to wear a shirt with a religious expression on it, and someone asked me about it, I'd be thrilled to tell them.

The back of his car was covered in bumper stickers like "333 - I'm only half evil". I found that very interesting.

BTW, I don't really like the WWJD thing as much as WDJD (what did Jesus do?)

If yes, why do you think so?

If no, then why not?

out with a message of abstinence, they are "trying to tell others how to live".

sinners or hypocrites?

Do you think this is what the majority of Christians are doing? Do they get out and try to evangelize the lost, or are we comfortable in our church fellowships and avoid the people who need the gospel?

In my Bible study last night, I came across this point and I found it fascinating. What are your thoughts on this.

...like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens.

How can you guys believe books that were written by men?

Someone said that the Bible does not claim infallibility?

How about this

Mt 5:18, 24:35,

Jn 10:35; 16:12,13; 17:17;

1Cor 2:13;

2Ti 3:15-17;

Heb 4:12;

2 Pe 1:20;21

Based on these scriptures, I'd have to disagree with you.

or the person who runs up next to him and says "Care to have a sandwich with me?" as he heads toward his death?

I've heard some Christians say that we shouldn't be going around telling people that they will go to hell if they don't repent and trust the Savior.

Some say, you should become their friend and show them the love of Jesus, without actually coming out and saying anything. "That's just mean!" they say.

Christians, what are your thoughts about this?

but didn't bother to give it to you.

What event(s) surrounded your realizing that your were a sinful person that needed to repent?

For Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation

not to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world works death. 2 Cor 7:10

Christians, thank you for your interest, but I would prefer to see what the nonbelievers ideas are.

correctly referred to.

One example is that of Sargon, a king name in Isaiah 20:1. Critics at one time said that there was no such king. But then his palace was found at Khorsabad, and there was a description of the very Battle referred to by Isaiah. Another illustration is the death of the Assyrian King Sennacherib. His death is recorded in Isaiah 37 and also in the annals of Sennacherib's son Esarhaddon, whom Isaiah says succeeded Sennacherib.

Think about it.

In the span of a few hundred years, this small band of seemingly insignificant believers succeeded in turning an entire empire upside down.

Would they have been willing to die for what they knew to be a lie? It is absurd to believe that.

Dr. Simon Greenleaf, the famous Royall Professor of Law at Harvard put it " If it were morally possible for them to have been deceived in this matter, every human motive operated to lead them to discover and avow their error... If then their testimony was not true, there was no possible motive for this fabrication."

I am just wondering what everyone here believes.

If you think the question is nonsense, do what I do and move to another one.

Don't click on the question, choose to answer it, and then say someone demanded that you do it.

10 out of 10 people die. How do you want to go out?

John Milton, one of the three greatest poets of England

"Death is the great key that opens the palace of Eternity."

Colonel Charters, an infidel who at the end was not so blatant in his denial of an afterlife, said as he died:

"I would gladly give 30,000 lira to have it proved to my satisfaction that there is no such place as hell."

I love hearing how people's lives have been transformed.

However scripture tells us of the "earth's free float in space." Job 26:7

Hebrews 11:13 tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms.

Acts 20:21 Acts 11:18
