How is it that Others who come in here into the Christian forums,
That is not true, please don't fabricate stories to support your beliefs.
You just contradicted yourself and confirmed your previous fabrication.
So, praying for things is not a waste of time?
Your god is to blame, that is obvious.
So does the Easter Bunny.
Beelzedad, You have been constantly trying everyday to convince yourself it's not true. It's not working isn't it?
mom101, Very true, The same answers have been given to both of them in other forums. It's another form of the devil trick when someone continually put the blame on God for everything that is wrong. What a shame
You are right, Greed of people is one of the reason, and greed comes from the devil. Where did you get your information from? I read the bible and it states clearly how it was written. Allow me to speak for myself please
Of course I know something about these writers. God is the author of the bible. He use men to write it, and the scriptures were inspired by a great God. If you don't believe a word of the bible. Why waste your time arguing? I choose to believe the holy true word of God.
DaKingsKid, We can definitely feel the effects of the wind, and we can also feel the awesome effects of a personal experience from God. The power of his presence is like none other.
It's funny how Christians in their zealotry do not see themselves when they evangelize the gospel and tell us all how to live based on their mythology.
Of course, if they could ever distinguish their religion from the many other religions as having anything to do with love, or at the very least; reality, they might begin to see themselves.

0That's ok son, pleased to drop down now and then to try to illustrate the more ridiculous aspects of these conversations
Novels are often written by several people, and compilations are very normal books to find. And the ages that you find add weight to your book also carry with it the superstition and lack of general knowledge of so much that we know today. Never mind that it was compiled fairly recently from shedloads of old material - cherry picked to back the aims of the christian church, not reflect the true nature of the original writings.
Lets put it this way...for one thing our soul's when we die do not stay in the ground waiting for Judgment Day and another thing our divine soul's cannot burn in fire. We wouldn't feel any pain. Etc, etc, etc....
The Bible has so many falsehoods to it that it can greatly deceive those that naively believe full-heartedly word for word. I do however, greatly enjoy reading all the holy books and taking what I can use and leaving the rest.
I am a psychic medium and have seen and telepathically communicated with spirits basically my whole life. I like divination tools too. It's a good way to connect to ones subconscious mind.
I was raised having spiritual gifts and nobody is going to tell me my natural abilities are demonic!!
Or that I am a witch for it!! Even though Christians will consider me one for knowing things I shouldn't know 'psychically' and will go as far as to say "Satan begone." Thinking that my natural gifts our from some demonic being and that I am possessed by some evil entity for knowing the future, etc.
What can I say: I am an Indigo Adult, we have gifts.
Let's just put it this way: Religious fanatics cause to much trouble judging everyone with narrow minds.It is interesting that you believe you're somehow special and have gifts others do not share. Of course, your so-called gifts defy logic and the physical laws of the universe.
Some people also believe they are Napoleon. At the very least, their claims don't defy physical laws.
Talking about reality is a strange belief?
Clearly, that is a fabrication or the "possible avenues available" were few and far in between.
Reference to what? The bible is irrelevant to those of other religions and of non-believers, billions of people.On the contrary I dont want you to be like me
or to be like you, or did you mean perhaps 'everyone all think the same way"
I dont speak for everyone else ,but personally Id find that pretty boring ,wouldnt you?
Another thing ,I notice in the forums especially if its Spiritual or Political (ugh) many people have great difficulty respecting one anothers views, and Ive witnessed it happening from both sides of the fence. Not sure why ,but one thing we can all agree on then ,is this man( real or imagined) Jesus Christ ,always commands an audience.
Just a bite of reality to nibble on

Good question Randy! When I get to the other side, I'll come to you in a dream and let you know!
Your bible says both. You are told not to judge, lest you be judged your self and at the same time you are told to judge righteously other believers.
This creates numerous wars and problems because the Omnipotent Being who wrote it was too short sighted to see that this would cause nothing but incessant fights.
The only people who think evolution and the big bang theory violate the first three laws of thermodynamics are religious people who have been told this by other religious people who want to fight about an Invisible Super Being.
But - what you seem to be saying is - the first three laws of thermodynamics are wrong - you can create something from nothing. You just need majick to be able to break them, therefore there is a invisible super being wot dunnit.
I suggest you spend a few years learning and understanding these laws and theories before claiming to know more than the entire scientific community.
Just because you do not understand them, that does not leave your invisible super being wishing everything into being a few thousand years ago as the default "theory."
Curiousity
We are a curious race of people, tis a good thing too ,or we would never find out all those answers to life's questionsAs long as you are really happy with it SomewayOuttaHere, then why let people like me bother you?
I read the Bible, the Bible says test it. Unfortunately, many Christians don't pass and you nor anyone else should take that personally.
It's what you believe, you believe you aren't perfect, that is fine. You believe you are a sinner, sure, if you say you are then you are.
So don't be hurt by people's objections when you are much harder on yourself then others are over a belief in some god that doesn't make you feel very good about yourself and wants to drag others down with it.
I am a good person. I believe in doing good things, like good things, wouldn't ever hurt someone but when it comes to God, well sir, you have to keep it to yourself. Otherwise YOU actually set yourself up to be tested and when you fail the test, don't get mad over something you already know.
Does that make sense? Not trying to sound offensive.
For all of you saying I do not have the authority to stop people from writing on this forum or for those who say I can't stop people from writing where they wish.
Who said I was trying to do such a thing!
Again, you are not listening. I am giving you the purpose set by hubpages not me. In providing the purpose of this topic I was also letting the person who posed this question understand that those who are misusing the purpose of the topic are not following hubpages decorum.
However, to tell me not to regulate, not to stop free speech, you have no authority, you can't be so rigid etc. etc. etc.
Is completely off the path.
Must I write in large words?
Well, I will not since I was just told that writing in capitals is a form of yelling on hub pages.
Well excuse me. I didn't know, now that I know I wont' write with large letters.
See, I follow the rules. It's as easy as that
Have a great evening everyone I am over and out!
No more time spent on foolishness and folly, must move on to a more productive issue ... like what am I having for dinner.
TTFN (Ta Ta For Now)lcg4jc, Thank you for sharing the refreshing free speeches. None of your words were insulting and demeaning. I enjoyed the cool breeze throughout this forum. You have a great character. God bless you!
Baileybair how are you? I haven't seen you for a while, perhaps because I am trying very hard to stay away from forums. I saw your baby boys last pictures and they surely brought a smile to my face. Thank you for posting them, I hope you will post some of him during the holidays.
Anyways, going back to answer the three posts with my name.
First, just so you know, Randy and I are fine, we are at peace, all is good.
Second, I am not saying non-Christians can't enter this forum, I am saying those who are not interested in Christian topics should not enter simply to cause upheavel and chaos. The answer to the person posting doesn't get answered when so much junk is added to the forum.
Third, I know you know depression is not only about Christians. The world suffers from depression at one point or another. Sometimes it is situational depression, other times it is biological, physiological, and caused from a disorder of some sorts. I know you know through your own experience that Christians are not perfect. They are still in the flesh. We are all decaying little by little every day and our bodies and mind begin to fail us as we grow older.
Christians are not superbeings, we still live in this tent of flesh. Therefore, we are prone to disorders like everyone else who isn't a Christian. The disorders can be physical, physiological, biological, hormonal and all other medical terms I am not proficient enough to mention.
I am menopausal, one day hot, the other cold, sometimes the very same day switching from hot to cold and changing clothes at least three times a day. LOL
Menopausal woman have a high rate of depression as well.
I have been hospitalized and have had surgeries these last past seven years 10 times. Seven were on my kidney, had a cute pee bag for about four months; hysterablation, both feet needed to have surgery, pain got worse developing RSD.
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for the past 15 years. Somedays can barely move. I had to deal with a son who went through a nervous breakdown because of his ex-wife and what she did during the marriage. Then we all know, my latest ordeal.
Chronic pain, continual physical problems, emotional upheavel all have an extreme impact on one's life.
On account of these things and all the regular stresses in life not to mention my week last year hospitalized for asthma have all had one way or another an affect on my emotional well being.
I know that I could never have made it thus far without my faith in God and my love for Jesus.
Please understand personally I thank God that I have Him to turn to in my prayers and in my thoughts and in my life. I really really can't live without Him.
I can't speak for others, this is the core of my being.
I understand and respect your choice about this matter and its okay. You and I can agree to disagree, that's what brings in variety in this life. And I for one am very glad that I have come to know you through hubpages and that I get to see pictures of a loving mother with her beautiful son. Taking me back to when my boys were children. No greater joy in life than to be a mother of boys (okay so I am a little prejudice, but what the heck, I guess it's allowed.
