rrroae has some legitimate issues he wants answered, we all want those answers. Even as Christians.
How can God make us and then abandon us to his enemy, what happens to those that never heard of Jesus or God, what happened to my sister's best friend in high school that was to be baptized on Sunday, everything arranged, she was walking home from school on Friday and fell over dead, brain clot. What happens to those that claim Jesus on Sunday but live as Satan the rest of the week. Is it God's words or man's history of their worship of God in the bible.
Is God evil if he only accepts enlightened souls abandoning those that never had the opportunity to hear, or those that believe the Baptist version over the Catholic.... Methodists are guaranteed for hell...
How do we separate those words they wrote from the spirit of God and those they added from their own desires and good intentions. It is obvious the Bible is not 100% the word of God, some of man's prejudices crept in when it comes to tenets.
I do not put faith in any man's religion or word's, they will always let me down. My personal relation with God depends on no man.
Kent You're able to phrase some of the thoughts and questions I have that are screaming inside of me. For myself, I know I have to take man out of the equation if I ever hope to see the issue clearly(spirituality). I understand I let my distrust and anger with man trump any relationship I had with God. I know it but I still do it. I don't know why. I'm not sure how to say this without offending a whole bunch of people here but what completed my break from God about 1 1/2 yrs ago was witnessing all the hate and anger among people of faith on the campfire. It certainly wasn't the over riding reason as I've been having issues and questions the past 15 yrs but it was what made me sever any remaining connection I had to God.

rrroae,
Man is fallible, even the best men. Don't let the actions of men sour you on the Lord.

JM In my mind, I understand that. I just can't get my heart to go along.

Thinking you were another misplaced load, what a [bleep] self righteous, backstabbing typical POS 'Christian' you are. You and JO are two sides of the same coin.

I forgot dumb as a fence post. Still can't grasp that the following has nothing to do with Christ? "If Christ returns we will kill Him again"

Yep,
It shows how stupid man can be, and is. We persecute people on religious grounds for not agreeing with our views, even the Son of God.
If our behavior wasn't so tragic, it would be funny.

Keep it up wiseguy.....all this is on HIS recording books and WILL be answered at a later date.....you know....when you die.
You are so far off the path you aint got a clue as to what you are saying...

Tom,
I think he is referring to your post in response to rrroae.
Here was a man that was looking for something, you can sense it in his last post and he got the door slammed in his face for his trouble.

Can't imagine why the original poster is turned off from religion. It's nice that SMART folks like you are letting him know how far off others are and that they will burn for an eternity.
