Ok ok, trying to get me to explain my religion....?
![]() Anyway, let me explain yours.....if religion was a democracy it would not work. matter of fact, the precepts of rules are to assist you in understanding why and what you believe. If you choose to break the rules, then you are choosing to be an apostate to your church. Now, what I am curious about is, what particular doctrine you are having a hard time dealing with. I may not have the insight for you, but maybe I can see why you believe as you do....let me rephrase that, I can attempt to make logic of the rules. ![]() Jehovah Witnesses are out in left field somewhere, and from what I am beginning to understand about Mormons...Oy! ....they believe God made many worlds, and Jesus got KILLED in ours. Now folks....IF there were other worlds...how the heck would we know on earth would happen to Jesus on another planet....?Someone opened the door and logic ran off. ![]() Somehow debating religion can be like getting a spanking.... Trust me...been debating almost my ENTIRE LIFE...well....since I was about 7 anyway. ...no kidding.Had a Jehovah Witness move in, and tell us the birds would come to eat us all if we were not a JW. ....another door opener faith...bye bye logic. Sorry to all those who are JW...but I cannot agree with it.

I'm not gonna preach but I'll explain the best I can.
Works w/o faith is dead. Epesians Chapter 2 verses 8&9. KJV.version. apsotle Paul tells us that we cannot work our way into heaven. We must beleive that Jesus was born of a virgin Mary. He was not born into his mothers womb,the way the rest of us were. When Joseph learned that his wife was pregnant,he thought she may have cheated on him. Finally God spoke to the both of them. Jesus missionary journey was only for 3yrs. when he was put upon a huge cross, to be hung because of peoples sin of not believing who he was. After Jesus died,he rose on the 3rd day. He was present in front of 500 people before he left for Heaven. He proved it was him by the holes in his hands from the nails that hung him there. If you believe in the virgin birth,death,burial,ressurection,Your that type of christian. God's love is uncondional. So I'm not trying to say you can't makeup your own religion. Us B-again believers are either baptist,or pentecostal,methodist. I was just trying to point out that instead of someone trying so hard to make up thier own religion that there are plenty in the phonebook for people to choose from. Not stabbing anybody for making thier own beliefs. Everybody has a right to an opinion. you won't really know that you've made the right choice until your soul leaves your body. (out of body experience). I believe that all this cloning is to try & prove that our lives happened by chance. Lets say I'll never be a C. Darwin fan. Its Rubbish. The biggest Hipocracy in this country is telling us that its ok to choose whatever religion we want to,if thats so why is there a separation of church & state. On that same token the state says its ok for the public schools to shove C. Darwins big crock of bologna down our throats. Thats backwards to me. I wish that Darwinsm could be banned from teachers shoving that crap down students throats when it should be a students individual choice to study & beleive in Charles Darwins theory on thier own. I'm not gonna get involved in this thread anymore. It reminds me of why our Horty almost left the Roo on the count of defending his God. I better quit while i'm ahead. I'll check back to se if ther are anymore responses from what I said, but I won't be firing back. This is my last post on this thread. I wanna do some other stuff on the Roo. I wanna laugh for a change. I have enough stress in my life to get wrapped up in a religion battle. Whatever people choose to do religiously is none of my beeswax. Over & out.

I would like to point out that although you metioned you are not going to preach, you did. I already know my religion(the one I am currently baptised in) and I know what I believe...so you don't need to refresh my memory, but I disagree with the statement "We must beleive " because we do not have to believe that...we do to be considered christian, but as I stated before, I don't like all the views of my CHURCH! |
