Indeed. Many Christians fail to let their light shine because they're too focused trying to be right rather than be ministers of love. If Christianity is to succeed in winning "unbelievers" over to Christ, Christians should stop bickering about which is the true church, who the real Christians...

How is this possible? How can you know the truth but not know Jesus? Isn't Jesus the Truth? My take on this is that you never really understood the Truth. Because if you did, then you would have known Jesus.

Hi Art, Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it. I'll add specifics when I get more responses. I am also looking to see if there are others who share my perspective, even though they are in very general "sense". --Raffster

I think Jedi is cooler than Seeker, but whatever floats your boat right? Welcome, fellow Seeker of Truth.

The top ten reasons why I think that the monotheistic religions are not as evolved as the other religions that do not put much emphasis on a creator God are these: 1. The religions are too restrictive. Too many rules to follow and comply with. 2. Too much authority has been given to certain...

--topic-- Without citing a Bible verse or plagiarizing from someone else. Mine is this: The Lord of the Universe washed his apostles' feet. That to me is one of Christ's greatest acts of humility. If Christians can remember this act of Christ, Jesus will be proud of us.

This is in the context of differentiating blind faith from real faith. Of course in realizing Truth, that is just the beginning. But one must get to it first and very few reach the other shore with blind faith.

You misunderstood me. Blind faith = following the "norm", what everyone says you should follow or do. It's maintaining the status quo more than anything else. Example is: Read Bible, listens to Pastor or Priest, "assumes" that is Truth. Real faith = following your heart. Learning to open...

If it your belief then I respect that. I was atheist too for awhile (about a year, I think) and it was perhaps the main turning point in my spiritual journey. You will never come across a fact that will "suggest" that God could be real just like you will never understand how, for example, an...

Coming to the conclusion that there is no (G)od can sometimes be a healthy evaluation of what truth is. Questioning Truth is always better than having blind faith in almost anything but to come to an absolute conclusion that there is NO (G)od is an indication that you have stopped searching --...

Hi Matt, so many believers (at least the ones I know) stop believing when the important prayers in their lives aren't answered. So let me ask you a simple question: Would you have become an atheist if God answered your prayers? I prayed to God for 10 months so that my ex-wife would change her...

Celibacy wouldn't be right if the priests and nuns didn't know what they were getting themselves into. Very simply put, if you wanted to join the Marines and were shown how hard it is to become one and you still chose to, then it was a choice YOU made. Like I said, it's really a simple matter...

Hi Anatolian, I noticed from your post that you do not have a clear understanding of the Roman Catholic Church's position on why priests and nuns are not allowed to get married and/or have sexual relations. When you become a priest and a nun in the Roman Catholic tradition you are married to...

One of the worst assumptions that a martial artist practitioner can make is to make himself believe that his art is the ultimate martial arts style, and that no other style can defeat it. We have seen that anybody who makes this assumption and steps on the fighting arena gets beaten up...

I'm a hybrid Christian and ex-Christian so I think I could answer this post. I am Christian because I believe: 1. in a Creator God. 2. that Jesus is the Son on God -- he was both human and divine at the same time. 3. that Jesus is the supreme example for unconditional love. 4. that the...

But Christianity has one Universal, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

So they "spoke" what's exactly written in the Bible that we know today? So before all these manuscripts were actually found they were already spoken. Very interesting.

Is it possible that every single oral tradition that contained the teachings of Christianity today were actually written down in the Bible?

If the Bible that Christians are using today was first actually put together in 1384, the identification of canon of scripture in 315 AD, it makes sense to think that only scripture that the early Christians used was the Old Testament. Please use this as reference...

Job is one of my favorite biblical characters for one main reason: he praised God even though he was left with no more reason to do so. However, since I'm going through a divorce, I am wondering if the story of Job would have changed dramatically (like him finally succumbing to just blaming...
