Why almost all coal was made during the same period

First of all, we must differentiate between murder and killing.

Killing another person is killing another person. No matter how you try to dress it up.

only when God commanded them.

When someone kills at a whim, I call that evil in it's most purest form.

God loves people yet calls for the death of many, many people in the Bible. Even children.

Not without plenty of warning and a chance to repent first though.

You been watching too much M.A.S.H.

When someone kills at a whim, I call that evil in it's most purest form.

What about when advanced warning is given first though?

 

[Larniavc]

Still evil.

If I tell you I'm going to kill your family and do so, does my warning make the act any less evil?

 

[Larniavc]

Do atheist believe in God now?

Eh?

Is my family trying to eliminate your family?

 

[Bradskii]

Do atheist believe in God now?

No. But they're unerved by what people might do if they think that God has commanded them to do something.

Lastly, if you found out Christianity was true, would you be a Christian?

I'll take a stab.
There are many versions of Christianity. If one actually "preached" Love, and saw the face of God everywhere one turned, then that might grab my interest.

If yes, then gospel is the most beautiful message in the world, that God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

But I would not jump in with that message. Behind it is the preaching of a judgemental God.

But I would not jump in with that message. Behind it is the preaching of a judgemental God.

So you don't want to God to judge sin? That is not going to happen. God is just and He will judge every sin, that is who He is, you can't invent Him, you can't change Him, you can't alter Him. You can either believe in Him or not. You can't accommodate Him to your thinking. And that means if you don't understand His perfect righteousness and holiness the problem is in you and not Him.

The reason why we preach God who judges and will judge every sin is to give you a warning. If I only preach to you, God is love, He loves you the way you are and never mention sin or hell, you'll be like great God loves me, I don't need to repent of sin, I'll just continue to sin.

If you a doctor told you, you had a brain tumor and only had 3 months to live unless you had a brain surgery, did he give you a good message or a bad one?
I chose this example on purpose, because that's what happen to me (except the timeframe, but I was short on time nonerheless). Or should I have told the doctor, be queit, why don't you love me, why you give me such news. No, I was greatful the doctor told me that there is a solution.

Christians do the same. We all have a deadly disease called sin that entraps us, but God provided a solution in His Son. Despite us constantly sinning and rejecting Him. Imagine someone does nothing but evil against you your entire life, despite you showing them love. And for all this evil comes the judgement, death. Would you then say 'wait, I know he done evil against me, but take my only child that I love dearly instead, so the evil person can live'. No one does that and yet that is exactly what God did.

Yes, there's a judgement coming, but God's grace today is that He judges no one, otherwise we all would be in hell. He delayed His judgement so people can come to Him, repent and have eternal life. But that day of judgement will come.

Is my family trying to eliminate your family?

I don’t know.

 

[Larniavc]

In your post you speak of God, your description say you are an atheist.

Yes, and?

I don't have problem with evolution as long as there is a Creator who created everything and is driving the forces of evolution. If you however want to argue on evolution without a Creator then there is a problem, because something cannot come from nothing.
If evolution is change over time ,ok, if evolution is adaptation over time, ok, but evolution without an intelligent Creator behind it is simply nonsense.

Even if evolution is true, it requires God. Because you need a universe in order to have biological evolution, and you need the laws of nature to be what they are to drive evolution and that requires a mind to keep them going in a direction. You cannot have this happening just spontaneously out of nothing.

You do know you are just saying things ?

Christian faith isn't blind faith. We believe the Bible. Why? Because Bible is a witness account book. Many men over millenia testify of speaking to God, for exmaple Abraham, Jacob, Moses and many others in Old Testament.

Then in New Testament, there are hundreds of witnesses about Jesus and His ressuraction. Of course the argument is how can we trust that. We look at the lifes of those who testified. The diciples of Jesus were scared and afraid to lose life even though they were with Jesus and saw His miracles and they denied Him countless times, but after they claim they saw resurrected Jesus, all of the sudden they do not deny Him and spread the news of ressuraction even when they threaten them with life, they are beaten agai and again. Why would they change so radically and suddenly unless they saw ressuracted Jesus.

The Old Testament, book which was wrote hundreds of years ago, prophesised about Jesus in perfect detail. The book of Daniel was written in the 6th century BC, and yet it perfectly predicted the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. And many other countless facts about the Bible which came to be true.

Because evidence od God is Jesus Christ Himself. God said none is righteous, not even one, we are all guilty of sin, yet God sent His Son to die for us sinners. He took the punishment for all the sin. He never sinned yet He suffered and died in place of a believer. Such love is not human.

So no, our faith is not blind.

I see no reason why to chose God or science.



But combistion engines don't create themselves. Or should we just wait long enough?

Its not blind. No, faith is not blind. No way
faith is blind, certainly not.

As in
"Potesth too much "

No. But they're unerved by what people might do if they think that God has commanded them to do something.

I encountered someone who told me he prays
daily for Word that it's time to start killing all
the atheists.

He would hang me from a street lamp.

Didn't get his prayer answered, did he?

Perhaps God said NO?

That's pretty depressing to say the least.

 

[AV1611VET]

He probably said that just to rile her.

I have a feeling he hasn't harmed anyone.

Nor does he intend to.

So you can tell your depression to take a hike.

 

[Bradskii]

Yeah - we are hearing that new talking point at a number of places now.

What is more accurate is the atheist world view is being dismantled by real science and the atheist are wanting to start murdering Christians.

On what do you base this utter nonsense?

 

[USincognito]

Yeah - we are hearing that new talking point at a number of places now. Massad Ayoob put a video out about the new deceptive story trying the usual fear mongering. You are 6 months behind.

What is more accurate is the atheist world view is being dismantled by real science and the atheist are wanting to start murdering Christians.
