Lord have mercy on our sauls for we know not what we do!

Look I am Catholic and I know the act hint I said the act of being gay is a sin. Being gay or haveing sex with the same sex is a sin the same for everything we do for us and not God is a sin. You can be the most nicest man and generous person in the world and be gay but your forgetting one important thing and thats Jesus Christ. It doesn't mean your going strieght to Hell. No it means you just made a mistake and God understands that we are not perfect. But if you don't accept Christ yes you will go to Hell even if your a saint. Its because you don't have Christ in your hearts is the reason why your going to Hell. When we don't have God in our lives we stray awey from him through sin thus we go to Hell. When we recieve Christ in our hearts we may still sin but God has given us eternal life and there is no giveing that back. In other words if you sin and you have God in your life he will help you back up and get you back on the right track but your not going to Hell because you know Christ and still sined aganst him. Thats how simple it is. Thats how you get into Heaven. But if you don't know Christ you won't go to Heaven plan and simple. Havent you guys ever gone to Sunday School when you were little?

I sin because I am not perfect. But I know and God knows I am not perfect so he helps me, and I already know even when I sin I still have that gift of eternal life. I've accepted the fact that I am a sinner. I know when I sin I have Christ and I won't go to Hell for it. Everybody sins its just a matter if you have Christ in your heart thats all. But there shouldn't be any debate over this. Thats how simple this is.

The only way a Christian can ever win this argument is if they state that they blindly believe in God. It's blind faith, and the sensible Christian would understand that, rather than try to prove the un-provable.

Alcar...

Faith is a good part of it, and I'm glad you brought that up. In the Bible, after Christ was reurected, Jesus showed Himself to Mary and told her to go and tell the others. Mary told the others and they had to rely on faith that her story was real. But Thomas said he would not believe unless he was able to see the wounds and touch them himself. When Thomas made this statement, he did not realize that 3 days later Jesus would show Himself to everybody and that he'd have to keep his promise and touch Jesus's wounds. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who had faith and believed without seeing." Faith is required, but I also have a testimony of God's power and have been blessed and seen many miracles. I know God is real, because I have a good relationship with Him.:fuzblink:

Just being the curious person that I am, I must ask you; How can you tell that you have a good relationship with God?
I mean, do you chat every friday and sunday, drinking tea and taking your sweet time sharing the best gossips around?

I'm not being mean or sarcastic*cough*, I just wanna know what you mean...

Right.

paramiteabe 09-22-2003 10:53 AM

No its a feeling in your heart that you know you have a good relationship with God. He talks to us through prayer and understanding his word.

So what we can say is we have faith and yes phisically we cannot see or hear God. But God is spirit so none of those traits apply.

I mean for you people who believe in Satin and all of his works do you talk to him phisically or is it a dark spiritual thing I mean you have rituals right? So can we say in your belief system you have blind faith too in Satin is similar to that of our faith in God only now its the complete opposite? You can't see or touch Satin but you have faith in him. You know he exist through blind faith am I not right? So how can you believe in something that doesn't exist phisically but spiritualy? The point is we have faith in our own religion just as much as you have faith in Satin we have faith in God. So in reality there is no arguement here and this is getting way off topic.

:

Hell is evil. I rest my case.
It's not a Kingdom. It's a Prison.

:

Where do you get the authority to judge God and call Him a sinner? You were created by God and this is how you repay him?
Who needs authority!? If a Policeman is beating somebody up in the street do we need authority to say that they are wrong? No. We don't. God created sins and he thus shouldn't commit them.

:

(1)You have all you're info from websites that are made by people that do not understand.(2) I get my info from a higher authority, and that is from God. God created the entire universe,(3) and we can't even leave our own solar system. Who is better? God.
(1) - The people who made that website must have spent years finding all the different types of the Bible there was and spent ages translating them, not only that but also locating the storys that branch off from the Bible...i think that qualify's them as people who understand a Hell of alot more than you who has only read one book.

(2) - No, you believe you get you're info from God...there's a difference.

(3) - Oh yeh, a dictorial, nasty, vindictive, hypocritical, alcoholic is better than a bunch of people who do what they do because they know no better...

:

I'm abiding to God's rules to the best of my ability, which is more than I can say for you.
No, you're picking and choosing. You could easily live by all of Gods rules but you choose not to because going without certain things would be too hard. And i choose not to live by the Law of God because its really boring and the people who do it only do it so they go to "Heaven". They believe that all the time they've wasted in their actual life will be made up when they're one with God, but they'll have a large shock coming to them when they die and realise the truth.

I'm gonna put the following in lamens terms;

How do you know....that the Bible...is...the book of God?

You say the stuff is real...yet...what if the Bible is the book of Satan?

Satan is meant to be hateful and nasty. God is meant to be kind and loving. The book of Satan tells you to live life as you want. The Bible tells you to be nasty to sinners.

You go on about Faith. Surely a true God wouldn't put somebody in Hell for having Faith in another God?

When the Bible gets modified to make Homosexuality a non-sinful thing...will you change your views?

If not...then that means that you are against everything the Vatican has modified in the Bible...

Ranging from mixing Crops to wearing different types of clothing...

God is all loving and forgiving...shouldn't he forgive people who don't believe in him? Surely he realises that it is through his bone idleness that people lose faith?

You say that you yourselves have witnessed Miracles and had your prayers answered...how is this God? In Witchcraft the main dealio is you yourself make things happen...

Meaning, you could have made your prayers come true and yet you give credit to a mysterious being...

What happens to people who believe in Satan? Or Budda? Or Resurrection? Do they go to Hell?

How do you know God is speaking to you? It could be a Demon or Lucifer? It wouldn't be the first time Lucifer has misguided people...

Why is there evidence of an afterlife...but not of Heaven. People do seances and do not come into contact with people in Heaven...nor do they contact Angels...

Are you really ready to waste your life based on blind faith?

Well, I pray to God and He helps me out and gives me counsel for challenges in my life. I chat with God as much as I can. He's my buddy!

You have no right to call God a sinner. You are a hypocrite to the fullest extent I have ever seen. I hope you repent now, or you may regret it later....Mark my words. God did not create sin....Satan did.



:

It all comes down to interperatation though. How we see things. Everyone makes up theories and such...and that's all your belief is bassed on....theories. Mine is based on truth, faith and my unshaken testimony of the True living God.

:

(2) - No, you believe you get you're info from God...there's a difference.
I do get my info from God.:fuzwink:

:

(3) - Oh yeh, a dictorial, nasty, vindictive, hypocritical, alcoholic is better than a bunch of people who do what they do because they know no better...
People that do not know God or haven't had a chance in relationship with Him are not condemned. Some people grow up in horrible homes with no chance of God in their lives. God doesn't turn away people who never even had a chance. However, those that know God and turn their back on Him will never be met in His presence again, save mighy repenting.

Ummmm, when is it your business to say I pick and choose when you don't follow any Godly rules. Yes, I'm not perfect, but I follow God's commandments to the best of my ability, and I am blessed for it. My life isn't being wasted.

:

I'm gonna put the following in lamens terms;

How do you know....that the Bible...is...the book of God?
There is lots of factual evidence, but I know from a higher source as well.

:

Well, if it's his book, he sure doesn't like himself!:lol:

:

Satan is meant to be hateful and nasty. God is meant to be kind and loving. The book of Satan tells you to live life as you want. The Bible tells you to be nasty to sinners.
Listen buddy, get your facts straight. God doesn't tell us to go out and punish sinners. We are told not to judge. It says that quite frequently in the Bible. Oh yes, and I'm not sinless, so I don't go and make fun of myself all the time!:p God wants those in wickedness to turn on the right path.
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord God: thought your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be like crimson, they shall be as wool.



:

You go on about Faith. Surely a true God wouldn't put somebody in Hell for having Faith in another God?
Check out the ten commandments. Anyway, God doesn't really punish us. It's more of us punishing ourselves. If you follow Satan, it's not God's fault you're going to the firey underworld. He warned ya!

:

When the Bible gets modified to make Homosexuality a non-sinful thing...will you change your views?
Not my Bible. Homosexuality is a sin. It's against God's plan of marrige between a Man and a Women.

:

If not...then that means that you are against everything the Vatican has modified in the Bible...
I believe in the Bible as far as it is translated correctly. I don't see anything in the Bible telling me to kill people, so it can't be that bad.

:

Ranging from mixing Crops to wearing different types of clothing...
Those are old testament sins. The fulfilling of Christs atonement brought forth the new law. That doesn't apply today.

:

God is all loving and forgiving...shouldn't he forgive people who don't believe in him? Surely he realises that it is through his bone idleness that people lose faith?
God is big on forgiveness, but He gave us the rights to agency, so it's up to you whether or not you go to heaven.

:

You say that you yourselves have witnessed Miracles and had your prayers answered...how is this God? In Witchcraft the main dealio is you yourself make things happen...

Meaning, you could have made your prayers come true and yet you give credit to a mysterious being...
If you had a relationship with God, you would know that what I speak is true. I know with every fiber of my being that it is God that has blessed me and brought forth miracles.

:

What happens to people who believe in Satan? Or Budda? Or Resurrection? Do they go to Hell?
People who believe in Satan are going to go where Satan lives, which is hell. I believe that if you are a good person, you'll go to heaven. When you arrive at the pearly gates, God isn't going to ask what religion you are. God will judge you by your heart, not your religion.

:

How do you know God is speaking to you? It could be a Demon or Lucifer? It wouldn't be the first time Lucifer has misguided people...
Yes, lucifer misguides many people, even you. I am close to God, so I know it's Him. Satan fills minds with doubt and sin. I do not doubt my God.

:

Why is there evidence of an afterlife...but not of Heaven. People do seances and do not come into contact with people in Heaven...nor do they contact Angels...
I'm not a seance guy myself.

:

Are you really ready to waste your life based on blind faith?
Are you ready to throw your life away? To throw out a relationship with God?

Jacob 09-22-2003 03:50 PM

Ok, on the relationship with God thing. You may think you have a relationship with God, like i think i have a relationship with both God and Lucifer. If i am on my own and have not got my mobile phone with me, i will speak to them. If i am wanting something and can't be bothered to do some hocus pocus i will ask both God and Lucifer to aid me...that way, if God doesn't want to help me because my reasons are too selfish, Lucifer will. Now, all of the above was due to my family making me believe in God. I now do it out of habit, rather than believing in one true being. But i know that if there was a God he would want us to live our lives to the fullest extent, rather than pussy-footing around.

:

Mark my words. God did not create sin....Satan did.


Oh yes, thats right(!) Lucifer created the Apple that Eve ate and tempted Adam with...

:

It all comes down to interperatation though. How we see things. Everyone makes up theories and such...and that's all your belief is bassed on....theories. Mine is based on truth, faith and my unshaken testimony of the True living God.
Do you see what you just did there? You stated that you, yourself, know that certain things are fact due to faith. Ok, thats all very well. But you've only read the Bible. Whereas they have read every religious book revolving around Christianity there is...deciphered it...and came up with a conclusion. How do you know they're not religious? Just because they're Demonologists doesn't mean they don't go to Church. The texts are not based on theories either, but based on evidence found in the scriptures...

:

I do get my info from God
You have faith that you get your info from God...but in reality you could easily be led astray. Such as that man in America who killed the woman who worked at an abortion clinic...

:

Ummmm, when is it your business to say I pick and choose when you don't follow any Godly rules. Yes, I'm not perfect, but I follow God's commandments to the best of my ability, and I am blessed for it. My life isn't being wasted.
Just because i don't follow Gods rules doesn't mean i cannot see when somebody isn't being a true Christian. A true Christian will do what the Bible says, no matter what. You can easily live your life as the Bible says exactly...you don't though, and why? Because you would rather pamper yourself with the joys of random things, ranging from nice clothes, nice foods and other luxuries.

:

There is lots of factual evidence, but I know from a higher source as well.
Please do not go on about factual evidence if you're not going to produce any. Just because the other evidence you brought up was ripped apart by logic and sense...

:

Well, if it's his book, he sure doesn't like himself!
No, but going on that theory you're still following him...

:

God doesn't tell us to go out and punish sinners. We are told not to judge. It says that quite frequently in the Bible.
'5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?'

'10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn.t we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.20:14)'

Sure, the above may be humerous but they come from the Bible...

:

Check out the ten commandments. Anyway, God doesn't really punish us. It's more of us punishing ourselves. If you follow Satan
I wasn't on about Satanists. I was talking about Buddists and other such religions. Does this mean they're going to Hell? How would you feel if you died and found out YOUR religion was not the proper one...and thus you were going to be punished for something you had no choice over...?

:

Not my Bible. Homosexuality is a sin. It's against God's plan of marrige between a Man and a Women.
No...listen...the Bible is going to be modified...and when it is, does this mean you're going to change your beliefs? It's been modified in the past...meaning that somebody, other than God, has changed it.

:

I believe in the Bible as far as it is translated correctly. I don't see anything in the Bible telling me to kill people, so it can't be that bad.
The Bible has countless translation errors in it...

:

Yes, lucifer misguides many people, even you. I am close to God, so I know it's Him. Satan fills minds with doubt and sin. I do not doubt my God.
No. When Lucifer approached Eve he first came down as an Angel. Making her believe he was good...he could be doing the exact same thing to you...

:

When you arrive at the pearly gates, God isn't going to ask what religion you are. God will judge you by your heart, not your religion.
But thats going against the 10 Commandments...so that means they're going straight to Hell...

Anyway, regardless of the above, if God will forgive you if you sin so long as you have him in your Hearts whats the big deal with sinning? Back in the day it didn't matter if you had him in your Hearts...you had to abide by the rules the Apostles set. Now, thats seemingly changed, meaning a murderer could rape and kill a thousand babies and if he has God in his Heart he will go to Heaven...and if that can happen then why have sins at all? Why not just teach about God instead of saying "Well...if you do this its a sin and you will go to Hell...but if you have God in your Heart you can do it...and still get into Heaven." kind of a big loop hole in the afterlife case isn't there really?

It says in the scriptures that you cannot serve both God and Satan. Man cannot have two masters is what it says. Anyway God does want us to live at the fullest....that is, fullest extent of righteousness.

I've given you evidence before, but it seems you just mock it or find some way of weasling around, so I don't bother anymore.



:

What a troubled man. The sad thing is, he thinks he did a good thing. If he would've looked in the scriptures, he would know that murder is a sin and that God is the guy who performs His judgement...not us. I know this. I'm not astray.

Again...you aren't Christain...you don't know. Anyway, God doesn't mind if we have nice stuff. When God says not to worship idols or things made by your own hands, He is talking about those that place their weath and possessions first before God. I place God first in my life, so I can have nice stuff. In the Bible, God says not to burry your talent. My talent is to write, so if I make some cash off a book, I'm not going to be punished because God told me to expand the talents He has given me. Do you see the loopholes you are making in your accusations? I'm not upset...you just don't know what you're talking about!:p



:

It was only 'ripped apart' by you. If God Himself visited you, you'd find some way to say it's not true because you are pridefull in yourself and unwilling to accept anything.



:

'5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?'
Let God deal with that in His own way. Working on the Sabbath is disrespectful to God, but your friend can repent.

:

'10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend).

The crop thing, and the garment thing have passed. This was the old law. The new law came forth when Jesus was atoned. Those don't apply to today. To repent, you used to have sacrafice animals, but now we can repent through the atoning sacrafice of Jesus Christ. We are now in the new law.

I have the origianl King James Version of the Bible. The closest thing I can get to the original thing. I don't believe in any other unnesiscary modifications.



:

The Bible has countless translation errors in it...
I know, but I also read the book of Mormon. The book of Mormon was given to Joseph Smith by God and transalated through revelation. It's the most correct book on the Earth. It coincides with the Bible and even furthers a few things. Joseph also was able to make a true translation of the Bible, so I have it without error.

I didn't say that. You just asume everything you say. You can have God in your heart, but without repentance you're in trouble. A murderer of 1000 people can't just repent and go back to his evil ways of murdering and expect to go to heaven. There are no loopholes with God. You make up loopholes that do not exist.

Let's just quit this annoying debate. It's getting nowhere and we just keep going in circles.

I'm not serving them...i'm talking to them when i'm bored...

fullest extent of righteousness.
It's all very well saying that, but then you see how many things are banned...

:

I've given you evidence before, but it seems you just mock it or find some way of weasling around, so I don't bother anymore.
I wouldn't exactly say just because somebody says that an old boat isn't the Ark its weasling around it. Or just because somebody asks you to present evidence that the Bible is the word of God, mocking it...you haven't been able to prove the latter anyway, and the former is basicly faith driven.

:

If he would've looked in the scriptures, he would know that murder is a sin and that God is the guy who performs His judgement...not us. I know this. I'm not astray.
I believe the Scriptures he was reading stated about an 'eye for an eye'. And anyway, just because you know that killing is wrong doesn't mean you're not astray...

:

Yet again you are finding ways to go around the actual point. Sure, don't bury your talent but if God wanted us to live gracefully and like kings i'm sure he would have said so. Him being all thinking-ahead and shtuffs.

:

It was only 'ripped apart' by you. If God Himself visited you, you'd find some way to say it's not true because you are pridefull in yourself and unwilling to accept anything.

No, it was also made sense of by other forumers. And if God visited myself i would believe...but thats never going to happen.

:

Like I said, God judges by the heart. Not by what religion you come from.
But you just said we can't turn our backs on God?

:

How do you know that? Do you and Satan hang out!

Because its mentioned in one of the religious books.

There are no loopholes with God.
You misunderstood me. Man kills and rapes 1000 babies...and yet is a true Christian. Does everything he's supposed to and loves God. Doesn't murder or rape again. Yet doesn't show remorse. Does he go to Heaven?

Random disproofulness;
I propose that it can be proven that God is a myth. First, we have to assume that we are talking about the Christian God described in the Bible. If the Bible isn't the truth, than the God it describes isn't real. Now, the Bible is full of errors and contradictions, literally hundreds of them. I'm not going to give them here, but do a quick search on the internet and you will find many sites devoted to the topic. Many Christians will try to tell you that the errors are a result of translations and not present in original writings, but would God allow that to happen? Wouldn't he inspire the translators as well? Also, if it were truly a work of God, the Bible should be something that men could never come up with on their own; unfortunaltly, they did. Could the Bible be inspired by the perfect God it describes yet have errors and contradictions throughout it at the same time? Obviosly, the answer is no. Thus, the Bible isn't inspired, and God is a myth.
No errors or contradictions? Here are just a few:
Mathew 7:21 says not everyone who calls on the name of the lord shall be saved.
VS. Acts 2:21 Paul says whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved.

John 13:38 "the cock shall not crow till thou hast denied me three times."
VS. Mark 14:68 says the cock crowed after the first denial.

Genesis 32:30 says, "....I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
VS. John 1:18 says, "no man hath seen God at any time..."

Leviticus 11:20-21 Birds and insects have four legs.

True. But what do you make of the above shtuffs?

Blah Blah Blah. I didn't even have to read your last post to know what you were gonna say. Anyway, I'm tired of wasting my time here, so I'm not coming back to this thread. Jacob, If you really want to know if the Bible is true, go look it up on the net. There are millions of sites dedicated to this particular subject.

Matthew 7:6
6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.


This means not to reveal anything holy unto those that will just mock sacred things, like you. So, I'm just doing what God wants me to do. Jacob, if you change your attitude and are ever really interested in a relationship with God, feel free to pm me, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm just going to leave you with my unshaken testimony of the true living God. I believe in God, and I know that He loves me and cares for me. He has helped me endure trials and blessed me greatly. I have seen angels and witnessed many miracles. There is no way anyone can change my mind about God, because He has personally guided me through my entire life and I owe a lot to Him. I'm a servant of Heavenly Father, and He has mighty works planned for me to do while upon this earth. I lead a happy life because God is in it, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. I will always stand by the Lord's side, and He will stand by mine. No one can tell me that God is myth.

WOW!:fuzgrin: That was pretty good oddguy...

Anyway, Jacob, (this is an asumption by the way) I think that you really do believe in God, and you would like to listen to oddguy and the rest of us, but you don't want to believe in God anymore, because you don't like you parents, and don't wan't to believe they way they do. You even said yourself that you still pray to God, but I think that deep inside yourself that you really do believe in God... but I might be wrong...

To add upon that, I'd like to mention that Homosexuality will one day be considered normal. Just like sexism and racism have died down, and their respective rights have been acknowledged. It just takes time.

I belong to a Catholic family, a loving and caring family. I can see how it benefits us, as all the family firmly believe in God. We don't follow all the rules, and I don't hold it against them. We do what we feel is right, we do the just and moral thing. It works in our case, as I've grown up in a loving family. However, we don't look down on others, and make them convert or repent. Hell, we crack jokes about them Anglicans, Orthodox and Jehovah's Witnesses ;)

Me and my Mother are extremely close, and from her I've learnt most of my religious knowledge. Regularly we'll chat, mostly while doing the dishes, and it'll be about a range of subjects. She is, and will always be the only one that can bring me to tears just thinking about her in certain circumstances - our relationship, is well, something to be proud of.

Christ, sometimes she makes me question my Agnosticism in favour of Catholicism. I wonder sometimes whether I will end up being a Catholic again. Only because of her, and how she's interpreted the word of God. She understands that Man has ruined the word of God, the original word of God. It was the words "Catholicism has been ruined by Man, Peter. Corrupt and greedy men, even Popes, that have tainted it. Just remember, the core beliefs of God will never change. Just do what is right. God can't ask any more of you.". You just can't put into words the value of her to me.

That, I understand is somewhat due to her Catholic upbringing - and thus, I can see the value of Catholicism.

Hope.

Just to add to that in a roundabout way, we were talking in RS about some guy who was put in prison, during which time he wrote a book and there's plenty of controversy about whether or not it should be released. Seems a pretty stupid thing to be concerned about, when there are far less suitable things being aired on TV adverts before the watershed.

Anyway, in a magazine it had some quotes from the book, and one of the things he talked about was that paedophilia will one day become as accepted as homosexuality now is.

Jacob 09-23-2003 05:48 PM

That was one of the main things i was worried about. Then i realised Paedophilia is forced and nasty, whereas Homosexuality is between two consenting adults and immensly pleasurable...

:

You even said yourself that you still pray to God
I talk to him and Lucifer. They're my conciences...yeh, u lot may have an Angel and a Demon...i have the two main peeps...bring...it...on...!!

Anyway, anybody know how to Astral Project?

The act of it is, I agree, but the thinking about it isn't, and we can't be prosecuted for our thoughts, because so often we simply can't control them. Still, it's an area I'm not too clear on.

What if it was an act the child concented to, having full knowledge of it all?

Whatever, I do know that to prevent acts paedophilia, the culprits need psychological help and compassion, not prison sentences and hatred.

If only theey'd stop Jeffery Archer's Books being released. How come there's no controversy about that eh?

No, they need to be executed. Prefarably painfully. Regardless of if they choose to be like that or they don't, they can still stop themselves...i wanna f*ck James' brains out...do i? No...because it would be inappropiate.

Yeh, but the thinking leads to downloading stuff which is just instigating it...

:

I think this differs between boys and girls. Whereas boys underage are usually horny and gagging for a shagging anyway, girls aren't and are usually destroyed when this happens to them, beit then or later in life. Plus, its more painful for a girl.

I know a 20 year old guy who had slept with a 14 year old. The 14 year old txted his friends bragging, then his dad found the texts and now the 20 year old is in prison, and on the registry. I think thats abit wrong, but if the guy did know the kids age, then he deserves it.
