  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

in chrstianity, this reality is a big expereiment, humans spreading rampant around the globe, with god always hopig that they will turn towards him. god is not with you ladies and gentlemen. god is waiting for you to turn to him, and if you do so in the right fashion, you might get a reward after death.

and to god, after death is a big big deal

one day a kingdom will be set up. but for now, the wheels are turning, the experiement is running, and god is waiting.

jesus is everything

satan no doubt is controlling a lot, but the supreme reality is jesus


society, whats the point? jobs, whats the point... learning a lot, whats the point? the only aim, the only point is to submit to god.

philosophy is devlish, history is devlis, science is devlish

you have got to nderstand, this reality IS A HUGE DECEPTION

jesus is the only truth

nothing else can be trusted

no one else can be trusted


am i right in my interpretation of christianity

if so, why exactly do people like it so much?


can one christian not admit that the world would be better if there was no satan? if there was no hell? if god was gonna fix everyone after death and make everything beautiful?


why wait til after death?

why not fix everytihng right now?

why let the cycle of insanity going

why is he letting satan run rampant?

why doesnt satan turn to god?

why is god set against his own creation

satan knows he cant win right?

how could satan win against god?

why doesnt satan try and reconcile himself?

what gives?

Actually, that is the way it is described in the bible.
Just one example:
Mar 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Mar 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Mar 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
Mar 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Mar 4:33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

Actualy this view is somewhat distorted. The fact remains that God who is omnipotent (sp?) is everywhere. That means God IS with us. It does not mean however that God condones everything we do. That is why God (through His invisable working) has placed signs in peoples paths that point them to Him. He activley calls people to turn to Him without taking away their freedoms.

society, whats the point? jobs, whats the point... learning a lot, whats the point? the only aim, the only point is to submit to god.

Very true. Also take into account however that God wants you to:
  • Work
  • Study
  • And love your neighbor (society)
And in order to submit to God you must do these things.

philosophy is devlish, history is devlis, science is devlish

Deception is evil, not truth. Science has it's place in proper understanding. Meaning truth can be looked for but you must do so without false assumptions.

can one christian not admit that the world would be better if there was no satan? if there was no hell? if god was gonna fix everyone after death and make everything beautiful?

I for one know that the reality of existance would not be better if God had not set things like they are.


what gives?

Have you seen the end of our universe? Do you know the count of sand grains on the beach?

Why do you need to know all the answers? Do you think you will ever learn everything? God has given us His word. Look for your answers there. But why would you waste time searching for truth when you have already found it? Will you search to the end of time for all of the answers before you believe? Is there an end to questions? If you say there is then I ask you WHY?

Take God at His word. He has never been wrong. Many may claim it, but none of them have understanding.

Deshadow,

Did you know that Islam is the largest religion in the world. In many countries Christians face heavy persecution for thier beliefs still.

Why not end things now? That would be a lie. What happened...did happen. God does not desire us to be puppets, but beings of free will. We sought knowledge and so it is.

It will end, but not until the perfect time. All things with God are perfect, although somethings might be beyond human capability to understand.

Things will be clear though as scriptures say. Remember that satan was a loved angel of God's prior to satan's rebellion.

We have a righteous Lord who desires all to know the truth and worship in truth and Spirit -- not out of force or obligation. Now we have choices within our partial vision. We are forgiven even though we sin. We in truth have it pretty good.

Hugs.

of course the world is better off without satan, deshadow. And the Bible tells of the future, that God is going to get rid of satan in the right time. God is telling us prophecy that He is making all things new, we can be with Him in wonderful paradise living of righteousness and goodness and love if we persevere through this other mess of sin we have to come to terms with. God has created us all with the freedom and capacity to choose. satan chose to be evil liar. We can choose not to be evil, with the help of God.

I hope you keep on searching and seeking answers and do what is right in word and deed :wave:

Good questions...

Belief and Faith is not 'knowing' everything, but believing...so no the idea is 'not' knowing 'everything,' yet holding Faith and sharing in the hope of the Body of Christ. :)

The 'truth' is rarely ever 'easy.' Indeed being a Christian is tough in today's society (even tougher outside of the U.S.). I have passed up so many temptations. I have abstained from sex and likewise am at an age most of my friends have children and I do not. I am willing to sacrafice this desire though if it is the Lord's Will or for my own failings in not finding a mate that I am evenly yoked with (per scripture). It's much more difficult for Christians to find suitable marriage partners as there are limitations placed that the rest of society doesn't acknowledge.

While my friends were out partying when I was younger...I was at home...etc., etc., I can't lie...even though sometimes a cleaver excuse would be easier than the truth, etc., etc.,

In short...Being a Christian is tough. It would be easier not to believe.

Hugs. :)

Do you need to know the answer to everything before you will belive?

Would you rather belive something that is true or something that is easy?:thumbsup:
