Seven Earth-Like Planets Found

[Bible Highlighter]

Well, to attack wrong behavior is not wrong. If you see an innocent child getting beat up, your action to try and stop it is not wrong.

Anways, God and His Word and His morality are true and therefore that means folks who deny God and His Word are going against God's goodness and they are holding onto their sin. Therefore, in conclusion: The atheist's motivation is sinful and not 100% selfless as they would like for us Christians to believe. Their motives are not pure. For God's Word sets the standard of goodness whereby the atheist has never lived such a good life like that before. Bad language, wrong sexual thoughts, hate, unforgiveness, are just but some of the sins that control the lives of atheists.

As somebody once said:

"When you have finished with the Lord's judgement seat, he would quite like it back."


Or if you prefer it from the pages of the Bible:

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

Stereotyping always makes for a good argument.

 

[HitchSlap]

No dear sir. Your motivation is not without selfish motives. If God and His Word is correct, that means you would have to give up some kind of sin (And in loving the ways of this world and it's thinking which runs contrary to God and His Word) and repent of your sins and walk uprightly. Seeing you are not willing to do these things, you are not without selfish motives, dear sir. You may say that you are fighting against Christianity so as to be superman (Who fights for truth and seeks to put down evil, injustice, and bad guys), but we both know that this is not the case.


...

Rather than pretend you understand my motives better than I, you could just ask.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Rather than pretend you understand my motives better than I, you could just ask.

Again, I do not have to pretend I know all of your motives all on my own power or abilities alone. The Bible tells me the motives and actions of the atheist and they are not good. But yes. I can even observing an atheist I can tell their motivations and actions are sinful and not righteous. I have yet to encounter an atheist or Christian who has not sinned and has not acted without selfish motives. However, believers can overcome sin and selfishness by the power of Jesus Christ.

So you are saying that atheists have not done these sins?

When did you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior?
Do you believe in Jesus as your Savior now?
Do you believe that sin can separate a believer from God?

[Cute Tink]

So you are saying that atheists have not done these sins?

I don't know anyone who hasn't experienced those sins. That's the issue with your stereotyping. These are not distinct to atheists at all.

Also, being an atheist brings with it absolutely no standards of behavior to be considered an atheist. Atheists aren't required to commit any certain number of sins to get their atheist card. If a person who refrains from all those sins (and others) to the absolute best of their ability, that person is as much an atheist as any other atheist.

No, it wasn't as serious as that, but the information about Cor Caroli and similar stars did add value to my life at a time when I needed it.

You are about to take your own life, but were cheered up to learn that
49 years ago, there were other stars in the sky, shining down on you.

I guess it depends on my mood then which I'm going to hang with on the weekends.

 

[Loudmouth]

When did you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior?
Do you believe in Jesus as your Savior now?
Do you believe that sin can separate a believer from God?



...

Tomorrow is Thursday, taken from the words Thor's Day. Are you going to accept Thor tomorrow?

 

[Loudmouth]

I guess it depends on my mood then which I'm going to hang with on the weekends.

Indeed. Jesus always wants me to come over to his house on Sundays, and he never has the football game on.

For me it depends on the weather more than anything.

I think priding yourself on your own righteousness can do more than anything to separate you from God, that's what I think.

"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican....."

Maybe you should make a tape recording of yourself, play it back, and ask yourself whether you sound just a teensy weensy bit like that Pharisee.

 

[Astrophile]

You are about to take your own life, but were cheered up to learn that
49 years ago, there were other stars in the sky, shining down on you.

It wasn't quite as bad as that, and it was 44½ years ago, not 49, but it was getting near to it; what I was learning about Cor Caroli and similar stars gave me a purpose in life and helped me through a bad patch.

However, this is getting off the point. RC 1970 said that it's just not possible to say something meaningful about something 39 light years away, not that it is not possible to say something about something 39 light years away that adds value to somebody's life. Statements about a star's distance, luminosity, composition, magnetic field and rotation period certainly mean something, at least in an astronomical and astrophysical context.

Also, astronomers (including myself) wouldn't study distant stars if our studies didn't add value (and not just monetary value) to our lives.

[Bible Highlighter]

I think priding yourself on your own righteousness can do more than anything to separate you from God, that's what I think.

"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican....."

Maybe you should make a tape recording of yourself, play it back, and ask yourself whether you sound just a teensy weensy bit like that Pharisee.

The problem with the Pharisee is that he did not humble himself before God so as to confess of his sin to God like the Tax Collector did. The point of the parable is not that the Pharisee shouldn't have lived holy but that he did not cry out to God to have mercy on his sins to begin with and he was thinking he was better than the Tax Collector (When he did not humble himself before God). He was not humble like the tax collector in confessing his sin to God. Confessing sin to the Lord so as to be forgiven of sin is a practice as told us by the apostle John (See 1 John 2:1) (1 John 1:9). However, Jesus does not obviously condemn holy living. That wouldn't make any sense. For one of the reasons Christ gave Himself for us on the cross was for the purpose of making us live holy here upon this Earth. How so? It is written...

"Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works" (Titus 2:14).

25 "...even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
26 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
(Ephesians 5:25-27).

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." (Romans 13:14).

"And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;" (Hebrews 5:9).

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7).

For GOD says, “Be ye holy as I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16 cf. Leviticus 11:45).

On the flip side, there are those believers who are like this:

"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." (Titus 1:16).

For without holiness no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

Again, you appeared to be threatened by my questions. I will ask them again.

When did you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior?
Do you believe in Jesus as your Savior now?
Do you believe that sin can separate a believer from God?

A basic time frame of when you accepted Christ as an answer to the first question and a simple "yes" or "no" as an answer to the last two questions will suffice. There is no need to lash out and try to attack me here if you are comfortable with these questions.

May God bless you.
And please be well.

[Bible Highlighter]

Tomorrow is Thursday, taken from the words Thor's Day. Are you going to accept Thor tomorrow?

You appear to feel threatened that a person should accept Jesus Christ.
Hence, why you are throwing out the insult.
This lets me know that you give credence to accepting the Lord.
Seeing this is the case, I encourage you today to accept Jesus as your personal Savior and be a changed and new person (Whereby you have a peace and a love like you have never known before).

[Bible Highlighter]

So, you're just here to preach, then.

nvm

Christians preach. It's what they do.

For they are given the following commands in Scripture,

"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15).

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." (2 Timothy 4:2).
