Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

So, anyway, Volcanos are clearly made by God to smite people with. What's the point of them without people. Same thing with floods and earthquakes.

No, they're not clearly made to smite people. In fact, they're there because of a little thing called tectonic plates converge or diverge and form mountains, and volcanoes, which you'd have heard of if you looked away from your precious Bible.

Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

So that means believing in god is a foolish thing?

And I'm suppose to believe a silly little book that says he exists? Why?

You're supposed to believe because:

The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork." (Psalm 19:1)

You would read the Word of God so you can know Him, know His Will for your life, so you too can have everlasting life. For it is written,

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)

*snorts* They're blessed? More like cursed. They have to read this book that makes no sense, has no factual basis and is filled with violence, incest, sexism, racism, abuse and everything else that is wrong with humanity.

YES! Everything that is wrong with humanity is SIN! But Praise Jesus we can be FREE FROM SIN!

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not:
whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. (1st John 3:6 )

So learning a lesson is more important than life?

Friend, these lessons GIVE life!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Well, then, everyone is doomed to die a horrible death in the fiery pits of hell because we are always rising above our station.

No! That's the good news! We can be born again, made new creations in Christ and live with the Father in Heaven forEVER!

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

By now they're beginning to wonder about their parents sanity.

Oh, you're a joker!

I sure hope that's not true. Heaven sounds pretty damn awful. And I did believe in god, once upon a time, and I wasn't any happier, in fact, it was the worst time of my life.

Then you didn't truly know God, friend, but you were duped by Satan. I'm so sorry. I shall keep you in my prayers.

...Like I would ever fund spreading the greatest lie ever told.

Oh never fear! The Bride of Christ makes these contributions through donations. Your tax dollars help offset the costs of running churches throughout America so we can send the "saving" on to The Lost!

o.O Damn. Ah, well. There's too many of you to convince. I'll just wait for you to be proven wrong. I won't have to wait long.

Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

Actually, no. Only 6 books sold more than a 100 million copies and your precious bible is no where among them.

If that's what you call inspirational, I'd hate to see what you find horrible.

Hi, Retard!

Care to try again? Most Bibles aren't sold, but given away.

http://agards-bible-timeline.com/q10_bible-facts.html

According to statistics from Wycliffe International, the Society of
Gideons, and the International Bible Society, the number of new Bibles that are sold, given away, or otherwise distributed in the United States is about 168,000 per day.

How about this:

Calculating how many Bibles are sold in the United States is a virtually impossible task, but a conservative estimate is that in 2005 Americans purchased some twenty-five million Bibles—twice as many as the most recent Harry Potter book. The amount spent annually on Bibles has been put at more than half a billion dollars.

In some ways, this should not be surprising. According to the Barna Group, an evangelical polling firm, forty-seven per cent of Americans read the Bible every week. But other research has found that ninety-one per cent of American households own at least one Bible—the average household owns four—which means that Bible publishers manage to sell twenty-five million copies a year of a book that almost everybody already has.

Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

A million people can believe a foolish thing and it is still a foolish thing.

God has told you He exists, made you and given you an instruction book on how to please Him but you still want more.

So that means believing in god is a foolish thing?

And I'm suppose to believe a silly little book that says he exists? Why?

Oh, but God was making a lesson out of those naughty children. Christian children today have grown up knowing the stories about the mighty Hand of our LORD. Stories of God teaching lessons for our sake today are peppered throughout the Bible and our Christian children are blessed to know them all.

*snorts* They're blessed? More like cursed. They have to read this book that makes no sense, has no factual basis and is filled with violence, incest, sexism, racism, abuse and everything else that is wrong with humanity.

They know the Israelites suffered slavery for 400 years to teach us all the importance of knowing how to live by grace and not by law.

So learning a lesson is more important than life?

They know the proud soldier who dared touch the ark of the covenant died instantaneously so we know not to try to rise above our station.

Well, then, everyone is doomed to die a horrible death in the fiery pits of hell because we are always rising above our station.

They know God killed David's son to teach us a lesson about the evils of adultery.

By now they're beginning to wonder about their parents sanity.

These things God teach for our own good so that we can live forever with Him in Heaven and sing his praises again and again and again. God loves us so very much, and he loves you too, friend. He wants very much for you to open your heart to Him and learn to obey. It's for your own good, and you'll be happier, besides.

I sure hope that's not true. Heaven sounds pretty damn awful. And I did believe in god, once upon a time, and I wasn't any happier, in fact, it was the worst time of my life.

In fact, you can help by contributing to mission causes that help translate the precious Bible into native languages so the poor burdened waif in these desolate lands don't have to go to Hell because no one shared the Greatest Story Every Told! Oh it makes me tear up a little to think of those poor children who will die without knowing how to confess to Jesus of their sins so that He can scoop them up into His bosom and love them forever. But you can help. Don't let these stories go to waste. You can help by donating to Landover Baptist Church so our own missionaries can bring Third World children precious Bibles to read! Oh think of the joy on their faces when they look up with their eyes, hungry for the Truth, and see a shiny new BIBLE just for them! Think of their joy when they learn they too can escape Hell! Oh, don't you see, it's just so wonderful to know these stories in the Old Testament so we can keep to the straight and righteous path! God used those boys' evil ways to teach you a lesson so you too can confess your sins and go to Heaven forever!

Praise Jesus!

Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

You seem to think children know these things. Let me tell you something. They. Do. Not. Care. About. God. Or. Jesus. They couldn't care less. They live life like it should be lived, and sadly, people loose their childhood when they grow up.



Yeah, it sure got their attention... They died because they were being kids.

Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

Not my own opinion. Millions of people agree with me. And pretty much. People want to believe in something, they want to think that life isn't just random chance. That is why god exists. To give humanity something to hold onto.

Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

The burden of proof is on the one who is making the claim, and you can't prove a negative. Therefore there is a God and Jesus is His Son. QED.

No, I can't, but you can't prove that he exists. I believe we're at an impasse.

So according to you, based on nothing but your own opinion, God doesn't exist and every Christian ever has been deluded and led up the garden path by story-tellers?

Wow! You really don't muck about when it comes to getting yourself sent to Hell.

Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Luke 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Of course I am. The imagination of humanity is endless. The bible is fiction, plain and simple, and there's no way you can prove otherwise.

Re: Volcanos and Earthquakes - yet more proof God created the world for Man

God did it, so it's not factual by definition.

And no, I mean they did what every kid does. Without caring, because they don't know what they're doing.

And you're the one's who are dense, believing in some mystical being that you have no proof of.

God did it so it is great by definition.

By "be themselves" you of course mean, "recklessly and wilfully breaking God's commandments."

You non-believers are kinda dense, no?
