    Could it be the attitude and actions of people like yourself?

    Do you drive people away or entice them in?

    England's Archbishop of Canterbury has said that Christianity is now known for it's hatreds and not about god!

    ‘Moor too’ recently posted - I can remember when being called or referring someone as a Christian in Oz, was a colloquialism for a nice person, regardless of belief system. Sadly American evangelism has changed all that.

    Sadly a lot of decent people are leaving the church because of the attitudes and actions of people who only think they are Chrsitian and will never be able to behave as if they could believe in the loving god!

    The mystery's of faith an GOD are beyond human comprehension

    Faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence.

    I think it's very sad that if someone does not have faith they would want others to agree with them!

    How can the universe create itself out of nothingness? Given the fact that the universe began to exist, it must have had a “cause” that originated it.Doesn't it make more sense to assume the existence of a Creation. The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that GOD came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, GOD is not in the category of things that are created or caused. GOD is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.

    We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing being is what we call GOD ,GOD is the un-caused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.

    The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, GOD unlike the universe, had no beginning, so he doesn’t need a cause. Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since GOD is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created..@

    Life without GOD is like an un- sharpened pencil it has no point..

    You can't see the wind, but you know it is there because you can see what the wind is doing. You can know that the wind is there because you can feel it.GOD is like the wind, you can't see him

  • Whoever has a personal relationship with living God Jesus Christ will not leave Him. When you have Holy Spirit of God guiding you will have better understanding and you do not have a religion. You can walk away from religion but you will not walk away from one true God.
