-I have had many unanswered questions that religionist like to answer as interpretations because the bible answers nothing.

I would like to play the religionist role now and answer any question that you have through interpretaton.

Just an experiment to show how the believers mind operates and will find faith or interpretation in attempt to answer a question.

So, what is your question? God's interpretation awaits to answer it.

  Could we end the religious debate by simply observing the footsteps embedded in volcanic soil of a family of three?
  2 adults and a child walking upright dated 3.5 Million years ago.

  Well, I would have to challenge the dating. When I was a kid- the egyptian pyramids were thought to be over 10,000 years old.
  
  the "ice man" was first said to be 40,000 years old, now he's 4,500 +/-. And I suppose they dated the volcanic soil and that is how they dated these footsteps at 3.5 million years old. But Mt St. Helens produced numbers on your carbon scale that would suggest that she blew 4 million years ago, but we know that wasn't true.
  
  so I suppose one might challenge it.
  
  Not the sheep though. Start following God, He won't lie to you.

  Hello dear Earnest, bible gods answer has arrived.
  
  Dear Earnest, those were not evolved homonoids, they were just tools of the devil to make you believe evolution.
  
  Earnest, you must have faith, deny all logic and believe the bible I needed man to write for me. I don't like to write, i'm kinda lazy. Now, build me a temple.

  Robert E. Bargerposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  Can you imagition "being Love". God is Love, and because He "is" love he he cannot not love. When God told us to keep the commandments he told us because His commandments are His love to us that we might love people, the animals, the creation and everything around us. "But" on the other hand if we don't keep the commandments God in his mercy, doesn't kill us but gives us a chance to fine out about Him by the trouble that's going to come into your life. Part of His love to us comes in the form of a curse, on us, and our children, and our grand children. When we say "I love you", if its not based on His will, its not love but lust.
  Gods nature is: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, meekness, tempterabce, faith.
  Us without God manifests: Adultery, fornication, witchcraft, hatered, malice, sedition, competition, heretics, and other bad things. We are born with a nature contray to Gods nature so Jesus had to die that we might have the chance to be like God.

  atomswifeyposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  You get answers you just choose to not like the ones you get.
  And not all of us believers answer in the ways you have here either!
  You say you answer through the mind of a believer, but that is impossible being an unbeliever as you do not have the mind or heart of the believer to understand nor interpret scripture.
  You are being deceived in your search for the truth and are accepting of mans or satans answers and being defiant of Gods answers since you know there is accountability and responsibility in accepting them.
  
  The truth is marine, God loves you. He always has. He knows the number of every hair on your head because it is important to Him because He loves you.
  You look at your baby and can feel how much you love. Gods love is even greater than that. You would not put your baby in a bubble to guard against anything happening to him. God does not put His children in bubbles either.
  You made the choice to bring your baby into this world even though you know the dangers right? Why would you do that if you consider what God did in the same way as being irresponsible or bad?
  Because you love right? And you realize that the world is not ALL bad. It is not all evil. There are dangers, yes, but there is also beauty and hope and freedom and love. Just as much good as there is evil. Some will fall into the hands of evil, some will not. But even if one of Gods, those who are in Christ fall into the hands of evil on this earth, we are not really in those hands at all, but Christ's.
  He carries us. You see so even though there may come times when we are put to death, either by illness, or natural causes, or sin (crimes), we know all these things hold no real power over us since they are only temporary to the everlasting life which awaits us. So there is no fear in death. No fear in this life. Only peace and love in and for our God.

  atomswifeyposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  But there you just contradicted yourself.
  You said we believe so as to not act like animals.
  But then said nobody needs faith to act human etc.
  And you are right with the second part there.
  You do not need faith or God to act human, to behave nicely, to love etc. I have never said to the contrary of that.
  
  being that is true then you have to agree that us believers do not believe in God to not act like animals. The over 2 billion us us on this planet are very capable of acting in a pleasant and normal manner just as you are without religion, without faith.
  
  So your theories about us are false. We do not have faith for the reason you stated.
  We believe because we love God. We love what He did for us. Because we have come to realize that though mans perception of what is good is good it is not perfectly good and does sin and has faults. We have faults. We are fallible and in need of Gods love and mercy. His forgiveness and strength.
  We believe in Him because He created us and knowing we are not superior to our creator but are in wanting to show Him love and respect in return for all He has done for us.

  Not every individual can rely on themselves. This is why your belief book was created.
  
  Most individuals cannot depend on themselves. This is why we have the bible, laws, jails. Most need something to have faith in greater than themselves.
  
  Even the ones with faith often end up in jail.
  
  You are still too arrogant and ignorant to entertain the thought of the bible being a government creation simply for control. I have already asked and answered your questions from your book of belief.
  
  Why do you think some people want more government and some want less? Some individuals are more dependent than others.
  
  Doesn't take a genius mind to answer these questions. But it does take an individual mind. Something you lack.

  You are correct Marine. The bible is man made. However, the whole idea is to live your life in the best way you can, be kind to your fellow man, treat people the way you want to be treated. Just by following the 10 commandments you are leading a better life than say a serial killer, rapist etc. Semper Fi

  There is no claims of superiority here marine as all of us we believe, NEED God. He is the superior one here.
  
  It is MANS arrogance which sets himself up higher than that of any God. Thinking greater of ones self over another's beliefs in God which is arrogant. Mocking and scoffing at God and believers is arrogant don't you think?
  That you come in these forums and lay down your claims with all your smiley faces and lol's like you are so superior in knowledge to know the truth and we the believers are just blind sheep following a "book" which is in your OPINION just like any other book and not God Word.

  Hello- I found this entry interesting?
  
  First off, let me start out by saying, I've have no religion or belief of a "higher" authority, such as "God". So, that makes this very difficult for most.
  
  How ever, with that said, the only thing that separates HUMANS from Animals is our Consciousness. Our awareness of our own life is what makes humans special. We are the only life form on the planet that isn't guided by nature.
  
  As for love, envy and all supposedly sinful acts, like greed, are all learned traits, brought on repetitive exposure of and can be handled through honesty.
  
  I have learned of newly found information about ancient times of early humans, long before Christ was born, some 3000 years ago, and absolutely none of it is derived from Religion, which is a business and nothing more.
  
  Thank you for your time

You are right about the Gods Word contradicting "individualism" or self righteousness. Which is exactly what most unbelievers are guilty of. Self Righteousness. Thinking they are above being in Need of their God.
Thinking their "self" is all they need.
It is a deception.

God loves you Marine. Thats all I am going to say. He loves you and and all.
His love is greater than anyone can even fathom. Its ok that you question and wonder, I think its awesome in fact. I know GHod does too. He wants you to question and wonder and draw closer to His truth.

If that means you stay in disbelief for a time longer thats fine too. God will meet you at a time and place in life when you ready to open your heart to Him.

No marine, I worship God, not any religion(don’t confuse the two.) You worship yourself and your pride keeps you in this skeptic state, until you know God you stay in this realm unbelief and sarcastic rants. Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” When I last spoke with you seemed as if were truly seeking truth, but your pride led your even further away from God. What's holding you back from embracing the truth of God love? Do you still have questions? I’ll do my best to answer. You scream individualism but you see now believers in the God of the bible are the vocal minority. The true individual.
We are the ones who refuse to yield to the way of this world, and stand firm on God’s promise. You are not an individual. You are along with the generation it which the bible speaks 2 Timothy 3:1-7 “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Congrats marine your quest for individualism has backfired and you are no different than any other non-believer.

  Just to set the record straight. I came from a Christian family. We went to church on Sundays. I was "saved" at an early age. I BELIEVED!! I read the bible and did all the things that I was instructed to do. At about 16, I started to see too many inconsistencies with religion. As time went on, it only made sense to me that god was imaginary.

Atheism/nonbelievers religious actions- Always be sarcastic never think you are wrong. Whenever a Christian calls you out on the absolute negative of atheism/unbelief, deny and unleash heck on their character and use big font, and smiley’s call them names and insult their intelligence tell them to read a book. Never question the your pride no matter how ridiculous you sound. Show no respect after all we are just animals, right? When all else fails mock the Bible that will anger Christians and will show they are not perfect (even though no true Christian will claim to be perfect.) Stick your fingers in our ears and yell “there is no God,” to drown out all common sense. Whenever possible use words like "which god?" “sky daddy“, “imaginary sky friend,” “old book,” “Jebus” “Babble” “religious” “bigot” “homophobic” put God in lower case, Bring up old refuted bible “contradictions” deny all the facts in favor of Jesus, the biblical account of his life and resurrection. The hundreds of eyewitnesses and the fact that even other nonbelievers acknowledge that he did raise from the dead.
Atheism/unbelief is the religion that offers nothing, but the bondage to sin (Now while you Google bible slavery verses and look up a counter "arguments".) Did I miss anything?

What most of Christianity believes about Heaven and Hell is not biblical at all but influenced by Dante, and Milton. Heaven and hell are rarely discussed in the Bible and when they are their usually referred to as Hades or paradise.If you want to be literal no one is going to Heaven or hell until the events of revelations, as right now all go to Hades, waiting for that time, some are being punished some are not....The thing about free will is knowing what to accept and what not to, it's easy to preach free will then accuse people of picking and choosing when that's the very premise of it. I know what is right and helpful to living a moral just life, and what may be just a human interpretation of events beyond their knowledge.

  Religion is based on the supposed interpretation of ancient text, which is controlled by other upper authorities of religious faith ministries. So access you are granted is through the establish forums, such as a Bible or other scripture.

  Cagsilposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  Let's breakdown what you're saying- Any grouped belief is government? And, whether or not, I agree?
  
  Okay, first let's start with defining "Government", only on basics, nothing complicated: Government is Rule/Law Enforcement officials(including politicians). They set the rules/law(s).
  
  A grouped belief: dictates rules/laws(s) or bylaws, which govern the actions of group members.
  
  So, technically speaking- a grouped belief would be the same as Government.
  
  Both dictate rules/laws and enforced said rules/laws.
  
  You can debate many things, but a singular belief among citizens would be good, as long as it's constructive and productive, and indoctrinated by all.
  
  Example: Religion already has 5 BILLION subscribers/members/believers....this is a powerful machine, but isn't utilized properly. Therefore, humanity has society, as a result. Not to mention, religion is a business and nothing more to begin with.
  
  Another example: If there was a powerful enough individual who could unite the people of the world, under a singular ideology, other than religion, we as a civilization would be able to grow beyond anything anyone has ever seen.
  
  World Peace would be achieveable, as long as the driving goal is seen by all, and the path made clear, it's not outside the realm of possibilities.

Can I say, some churches have so many false teachings that it becomes easy for us to walk away. It is for the individual to find truth in all things. I was dissowned by my family when I became a Historical Adventist. ohh well. is that not individualism?

With God, all things are possible. Do you understand the meaning of possible? It doesn't mean that God would reveal Himself to you. He could, but maybe he wanted you to dig deeper and not be superficial. Even Moses could not gaze upon God's face, that is why God covered him with his hand so that he could pass.

I used to ask God to reveal Himself to me. It was every time I was drunk and gazing at the stars. Now I know He is real, and I will endure the patience of this short life.

Or is it that you really aren't interested in spreading the love of God, just your own spin on it?

  I've never made a point or habit of trying to please anyone. I make my point and say what I have to then leave it to others to accept it or not,funny though how you always bring that up whenever you address me, what exactly are you jealous of that I get along with people without trying or that I can say what I want to without fear or care to how I am perceived. Maybe that I would rather live with people then categorize them into neat little boxes that make it easier to dislike them is offending to you but honestly I really don't care. It's nice that you immediately attribute my success to favoritism then and attempts at winning friends then to the fact that people actually think I am a good writer. After all i did come here to write and make money from it, and I've never claimed otherwise.

  Now I'm a blasphemer, you just can't help yourself can you? That's alright you go on and keep throwing any name on me you want and put me in any box you need to, you seem to be the authority on love and Godliness these days. But you are right I am dangerous, very dangerous because I am free in every way that you will never be, I cast off my chains long ago, and moved forward in life, I think on my own and listen instead of closing my ears to any view I don't like. I am free to do whatever I like because I know about truth and choice and free will, and because I recognize who God created me to be and have accepted it. I don't live in fear.

  I don't care about my answers being popular. I care about telling the truth. obviously the truth is not popular, but false teaching is dangerous. Did Jesus ever mention things like "its how you interpet it", "because God is just, there is hell. Because he is fair, it is empty.", "We are all god"
  I hear and read these type of things all of the time. They are false.
  
  my question still is, what is love without truth?
  
  I want to talk about the love of Jesus. I will. I think I will write a hub about forgiveness and sin. But it will still have the message that Jesus taught, not my teachings.

I love how you praise your individuality.

Because I believe in God, I lose my individuality? Because you do not, you lose yours.

What is your point? Really. do you want someone to praise you because you have developed an idea(probably not your own) about a government creating the bible? that is simply your idea, but I have not heard any evidence as to why you think so.

You don't know what government did this?
You don't know who wrote it?
You don't know how it became accepted?
You don't know any scripture?
You don't know any history?

you have self proclaiming, self exhalting views of "yourself".
You use words like "debate", but then you don't debate. You want to be so individual, but when getitrite talks about how he left the church you get real budy budy, like you need a friend.

  My friend every action has a consequence whether you want it or not this transcends any religion or faith and is the essence of free will.

  Alright, I will hear you out on a question. What makes you believe the bible as divine?
  reply report
  59
  atomswifeyposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  Alright I will give it a shot to answer as best as I can.
  
  For one thing the Bible was produced from a nation which served many gods, yet the Bible speaks of only one God. The God of Abraham. This to some great extent proves its inspiration as being divine I believe as it would have been destroyed.
  For two, it was not written in the style of human writings which would minimize the mistakes of it's heroes. The Bible is very clear about the mistakes of some of the great heroes. Abraham, Moses and David all were fallible as humans and their stories are told without consideration to making them look rather, fallible or having made mistakes.
  
  Also,
  The Bible is one complete piece of literature, despite the fact it is actually several books written by over 40 different people over a period of sixteen centuries.
  And it's prophecies most of which have come true and are coming true, its historical records are accurate and it meshes well with modern science and our universe, some of the facts which were not otherwise known to man until many years after the Bible was completed.
  So for these reasons and more I believe the Bible was inspired by God and is in fact, The Word of God.
