The devil is as old as God right? If you being as young as you are, in reguards to God and Satan, are able to realize that the devil could not defeat God, don't you think Satan is that smart too? Or do you think the devil is just stupid? hehe. |

The devils whole goal is to appose God. If your smart enough to realize that is stupid and impossible, then you should assume a being awestrikingly more advanced than you are would also be able to realize the same thing. |

Good point Sandform, but the devil is too blinded by pride to care. |

LD Counter (as of 07.25.07) = 5 (2 WILDs)
Short-term goal: Recall three full dreams a night for a full week.
Long-term goal: Have three LDs per week for one month.
Longer-term goal: Have one six-hour LD every night! (Shooting too high? We'll see.)
Waking life goal: Round up some NPSG equipment to study my own sleep patterns.
And now for something off topic. |

Yes, these seeming inconsistencies would be quite worrying if you are a Christian. |

NO
Jesus said it, not me. Use it all you want. |

Sounds like Jesus is jsut gagging for acceptance. Surely leading a good moral life should be more imprtant than accpeting jesus. |

Do you really think that belief can just be switched on like that? If you do not believe something, you can't just believe it by sheer willpower. If someone told you that in order to get into heaven, you had to believe that 2+2=5, do you think you could manage it? I know I couldn't. |

So basically, God doesnt see brutal rape and murder as any worse than petty theft. I'll bear that in mind then? |

To deny there is a parallel is simply avoiding the question. It's not the obviousness that makes it impossible... you simply can't change your belief by deciding to do so. I hold the belief that there is no Jesus. I can't just decide to change my mind about it. I can say I believe in Jesus, but that would just make me a liar. I can tell myself I do, but it would still be a lie. |

I don't belive Hindus will go to Hell, just for not beieving in our GOD i believe they search for GOD as we do, only in their religion the spirit that is GOD takes on many forms as different gods than ours does. |

Are you looking for evidence? I could sit here in my office and say, "I don't believe it's sunny outside" all day, but if I don't go to the window and look, I'm just believing because it's what I want to believe. By your logic, I could not see a weather report telling me it's sunny, and decide to believe that, because I already believe it's not. But that's clearly not the case. In the same way, you saying you don't believe in Jesus doesn't mean you can't believe in him. You're just choosing not to. Jesus was a historical figure, his acts were historically documented (even outside the Bible), and millions of people since his time have believed in him based on an entire spectrum of evidence - from believing what their friend told them to spending decades researching the documentary, anthropological, and archaeological clues. |

That's fine, and I respect your opinion. My opinion is that God is revealed mainly through the Bible, and the Bible says unequivocally that Jesus is the only way to the Father. There is no other indication that God thinks differently apart from people who don't like the idea of "entering through the narrow gate," so to speak. |

The entire world is looking for evidence. I spent enough time investigating to know any further investigating would continue to be futile. |

So what the hell was the apostle Paul thinking when he spent those long hours writing all the scriptures to be sent to various churches throughout the country? Have you read the New Testament? Paul put a lot of time into it! If it was a bunch of bullshit, why did he waste his time? Mind you that he personally knew Jesus. |

"Every day should be a good day to die."
- Dave
Actually, Paul never met Jesus "in the flesh" - just on the road to Damascus. That's probably what you meant, and it doesn't change the fact that he did personally know Jesus. But that makes it even more impressive that he would give up everything, knowing he would be imprisoned and persecuted, for his ministry. In fact, none of the disciples had anything to gain, a lot to lose, and almost all of them were killed specifically for refusing to deny their beliefs. Pretty powerful testimony that what they saw, they recognized as the real deal. |

How should I know what he was thinking? It's likely he thought it was important, but that is neither here nor there. People waste their times on pursuits of questionable merit all the time, many of them much more time-consuming than writing the bible. |
