• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

That's exactly what I was doing, being frank. Surly that would depend on whether the beliefs are stupid and nonsense wouldn't it? belief without evidence is stupid. Treating stupid claims as if they are stupid claims should surly be the norm, why beat around the bush? Would you say that telling us they have an invisible friend is insulting our intelligence? they don't think twice about offending us but we must always consider their feelings, why is that? people talking to them as if they are stupid and they don't understand must surly be even more offensive to them, we know they think like children but there is no need to speak to them like children. They can't even tell us what it is they actually believe because they don't know themselves so why shouldn't we tell them?

I believe in The Lord Jesus Christ.

Allah is Arabic for God (singular which is what Muslims believe). I don't believe in the same Theology as Muslims with regards to who Jesus Christ is. They believe him to be a prophet only, I believe him to be God incarnate.

Read the bible if you want truth.

Why? What is it about the bible that makes it end-all, be-all of truth?
What is your evidence for that statement?

Why not the quran, the bagavad ghita or any other religious book?

Way to avoid answering the question. OK, try this. Is Shiva a God, or a construct of Hindu minds?

That didn't answer my question.

I asked you to explain a claim you made. You don't answer such a question by making more claims.

Try again.

Shiva is stated as being a god to those who believe in Shiva. If I was doing a research paper; I would refer to Shiva as a god in Hinduism.

http://www.gotquestions.org/how-to-get-to-heaven.html

The above web address gives accounts to world religions unbiased I might add. You will note that Christianity is the only belief that one can not earn their way into heaven or salvation.

I am not a expert on all the religions, and their deities. I choose Christianity because I believe the authority of scripture to be without error, and inspired by God. My eyes are open to the truth that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and has saved me from eternal judgement because he loved me before while I was dead in my sin.

So would I be right in saying that Jesus is stated as being a god to those who believe in Jesus. If I was doing a research paper I would refer to Jesus as a god in Christianity?

Is every God equal to all the other Gods or are some Gods more equal than others?
Do all God exist? if not which Gods exist and which Gods don't exist?
