A few questions about Christianity.

<< < (3/9) > >>

-VZA-:
if you think about it... anything can become a sin if it is done in excess.  eating isn't a sin but if you do it too much, you're performing gluttony.  same thing goes for drinking.  it isn't known whether or not Jesus drank because it doesn't say he did and it doesn't say he didn't.  he did turn water into wine but that doesn't mean that he had some.  maybe this shows that he isn't against it but then again he isn't for it either.

for the death thing... there are many different denominations of Christianity.  some christians believe in a place called purgatory and that's what you described.  if you attend a catholic funeral, you're not likely to hear the priest say that the person is in a better place.  other denominations of Christianity don't believe in purgatory so they don't contradict their beliefs when they make that statement.

the devil's greatest weapon is confusion.  there's a simple saying "divide and conquer."  by causing confusion, it divided the Christians and caused them to fight amongst themselves.  so instead of focusing on the real enemy, a lot of time we Christians fight with each other.

Trauma-san:
I don't understand why you would ask the questions in the first place, you're not Christian, and you're not interested in becoming Christian.  I don't really think it's appropriate to discuss it with you in that light, because I'm just reducing myself to being an apologist.  Christianity, like all other religions, is faith based; there is no proof the religion is 'correct' or however you want to apply that.  Since you don't want to believe it, no amount of explaining about Christianity I do will quench your thirst for answers about the religion, because they cannot all be answered without eventually requiring you to take a leap of faith, which you are not prepared or willing to do.

Peace~

^It's funny how you criticize people about the same thing you do, assume.

Have you ever even asked me what religion I believe in? No, so do not assume no bullshit. U dunno nothin about me, except my name and how I do something in the music field. And who the fuc are you to tell me what's appropriate and what isn't? Some of you muthafucaz act like being part of a religion is like being part of a gang. Ure no different than infinite. At least infinite answers and tries 2 make his religion look good. I have every right to ask what I want when I want, even if I don't believe in it. Just because you defend Muslims, Christians or anythone else, it doesn't mean you're part of them. This is where the whole gang mentality comes in again. On the streets, if 1 of the homies gets into some shit, U back em up no matter what, don't matter who's right or wrong. Humans somehow tend to apply that to religion too, Christians always have something to say, wrong or right, it doesn't matter, they will back their shit up regardless. Muslims too. That shouldn't be the case though. You have to have a balanced state of mind. Don't trip about what I believe in, it's irrelevant, ure nobody 2 me, so don't worry about it. But for your information, I do go to church every other Sunday.

Now, I dunno who has heard of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, but they go to church on Saturdays. They believe after the six days of Creation, the lord rested on the seventh day

It says in the Bible that God "rested".  From the jump, when you read that in the Bible, you know something ain't right.

Right there, you know that "sleeping" can not be an attribute of God, and this book must have fell to corruption by the Church (Constatine, Paul, and other people who changed the true teachings of Jesus).  If God is resting, then who is maintaining and sustaining the Universe?

In the Qu'ran, God (Allah) is put in his proper postion, and his attributes are coherent and logical.  Here's the difference of how God is described in the Noble Qu'ran...

Surah 2.Al-Baqara (The Cow), verse 255

"Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep.[/i] His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitted? He knoweth what (appeared to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory)."

*****Disclaimer*******

.....no disrespect to the Christians, especially MDogg I don't want to be disrespectful to him cause he's always respectful to me.  But I should be able to post my position just like everyone else.

Trauma-san:
^ You can post whatever you want, and Rod, If I answer your questions, you'll just have more.  You're not asking with an inquisitive nature, you're asking with an intent on showing problems in the religion, which you JUST BACKED UP with your last reply.  You're Celophane.
