I'm so glad to meet people of faith on this website.
Allow me to introduce you to a new concept:
Sarcasm.
We do have a special place for ridiculous beliefs:
http://hubpages.com/forum/20
It is called the "religion" forum.
Welcome to hubpages.
we are meant to look at jesus because he his the author and finisher of our faith.
Excuse me kind sir, but I beg to differ, because of the simple fact that your individual religious knowledge has escaped you and left you vulnerable to non-believers.
You base your faith on Jesus? You look to Jesus for guidance. What you might not be aware of is that Jesus' work that was included with Religion ONLY after he was executed. So as, to continue on the Hoax, known as Religion.
Religion is a Business. It was founded on the basis, so as to allow certain people access, so they can usurp power and wealth, at the expense the innocent and unknowing. It IS a "code of ethics" for which to live by and it IS "bound or bonded" to a higher cause, such as God. Supposedly giving you answers to all questions in Life? The mystery is the intriguing property of religion, which draws people into it. Supposedly giving people more meaning for their life, yet fails to deliver any solid results.
There are some things that you say that does have some truth. I have a hard time thinking that you say them with the same intent as I.
Religion and faith in God are two entirely diffrent things.
Faith in God costs nothing.
If you ever meet him you would .."know him"
That does not mean that you should believe everything that people are saying about him. After all..there will always be some corrupt people with a plan.
Anyone that says that they need my last dollar, but has millions in the bank can not be trusted.
A good liar will tell his story keeping to a truth as closley as possible all the while changing just enough of the details as to achieve their goal. behind all of the smoke there is some fire. Underneath religion is a true God.
Religion is what ever you might imagined it to be.
but .... God is whatever reality is.
Jesus was a short, stocky, dark-skinned asian man who did carpentry. Not that much to look at.
I really dont think it matters what Jesus looked like.

Why do Christians feel the need to tell us about their religious beliefs?I don't have a problem with Christianity or any religion for that matter, but I view religion/spirituality as a personal and privvate matter and feel that it's best kept that way unless one is specifically asked to expand on...

Although some might counter that Hitler's admission to Christianity, by itself, does not make one a Christian, how else can an individual convey to another his religion except from their own confession? One of the tenants of Christian belief, indeed the definition of a Christian, comes from the...

Ok. I have become aware of what Jehovah's Witnesses have been teaching concerning Salvation, the Afterlife, & many other things in the bible, and quite frankly I have had enough already!!! I'm sick and tired of "Jehovah's Witnesses" parading themselves around the street like they have...
