I would love to talk sometime

Really? I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it says. God fulfills us and nothing else. I can be raped and stabbed, but God will give me strength.

The teachings of the church are that Christians won't live some amazing life, but will have a happier and more fulfilling one. The reason for being a Christian is that God saved us and we want eternity with Him and Heaven is more important than Earth so don't let the problems in life get you...

I am hearing a lot of "We are the ones who choose sin." But I did not choose to be able to choose sin. So who made that choice for me? God did. God created my want for sin. And if it's satan. Then who made satan to want to choose evil? Or a pt least have the option of choosing evil? And yes I...

But he created us. Therefore he gave us the option of hell. He created a species that chooses evil and hell more often than God. Seems a bit interesting to me. And if God created everything in all of existence... That means he created a mind that can reject him and create darkness.

Yes but for us to choose, we are given choice.. For choice to be possible there must be options. Therefore God created two options. It isn't free will without the option to choose wrong. It is not our personal faults for sin as sin is inevitable. We can't help but to sin in the eyes of God, so...

Yes, because the only alternative to good is sin, therefore I would never want to sin. It wouldn't take away the ability to have careers or make decisions, but it would take away the chance of doing evil. Doesn't sound to shabby to me

Now what I meant was that he created a species that has the option of flaw, which means he produced flaw. For Him to say we chose sin means that God must be oblivious to the power of sin (which would not exist if it wasn't for Gods creations).Its like me throwing away leaking cups because I...

Why create a species that is flawed, then punish us for being flawed as if it is our fault? He condemns us for acting in the way that he created us. the bible speaks as if we don't deserve forgiveness, but we really do. We didn't ask to be created and did not ask for the opportunity of hell. I...

Just to make sure everyone is clear, I am not asking if having nice things is bad and I am not saying that having nice things is bad. I'm asking why a Christian want nice things. If we truly believe that giving and living out our faith is the key to happiness... Then why not just do that? OOOHH...

:pray: Well like I said before.. I live off of donations and I have a job and pay for everything except the essentials like home food and bills. Now I know I don't have the struggle of paying for such, but I'm talking like the guy below said, why have a gold Rolex when you preach about...

Yeah I know that, but I've been saying this whole time that we can live off necessities.. We don't need a nice car or anything we don't actually need. A large majority of pastors and Christians still a live a comfortable lifestyle

But isn't God and other people before everything? If we serve others then surely our Lord will provide for us. At least that's what the bible says. But I mean Christians don't really believe in a fairy tale like that anymore anyways.

People that feel bad for our family haha I hear what you're saying, but I'm finding out that Education.. Even more so a Christian education, is a bit less important than actually living out a Christian life.

It's always nice to know there are others out there that share my concerns! Will definitely check out Thoreau. I'm looking to get much deeper into religion itself as a whole as well.

Re answer this question once you realize you're wealthier than 95% of the world. Answer this when you live off donation such as myself. I'm not a complainer because I don't have maggots eating my flesh with no water. You're so caged in by this machine of working a job and paying bills that...

So I go to one of the top Christian Highschools in the nation with a few thousand kids... And it is extremely wealthy. I used to be wealthy until a car accident that forced our family to use our money on treatment for my sister, but at one time, I as well was pretty wealthy. I started to...

I didn't mean it like that.. I was trying to explain how murder and stealing, yet a wolf stealing someones prey and killing and fighting is just part of nature. and when we tame the animal..they are more well behaved..and what I'm saying is that maybe it's not God or anything like that and just...

I am 17 and go to a Christian. I am a believer, but have a hard time with a few things. I was in a deep thought when I listed these notes so forgive me for anything aggressive lol. This is copied directly from my ipad notes. You don't have to answer them all, but answering a couple would help...
