How do you read forgiveness in the Lord's prayer?

Every time we say the Lord's prayer, we Tell God what to do! God, forgive me, in exactly the same way I forgive my enemy. Which has to mean, if I cant forgive, then don't forgive me in the same way. Do the millions of Christians who regularly say this prayer, understand the implications of...

I have learned in my old age, that if I am to follow any belief system, I have to be willing to change myself. I left the Catholic Church as a teenager, there were too many temptations in the world, and I didn't want to be constantly reminded; that I shouldn't succumb to temptation. As Oscar...

Thanks for your response to my thread. My intention was not to try and convince someone to believe in God, it was aimed more at people who already have a faith in God. Who is God? Can there be one greatest good purpose to create the universe and life? Could God love us as he loves himself...

The creation of the universe is history. Either God created the universe with knowledge and power, or there is no god. You could be a hundred percent right or wrong on the toss of a coin. You cant change the truth of history, just because you don't agree with it Is there real hard evidence...

The imitation of Christ is a profound challenge for all of us. He gave us the greatest commandments, to love all our neighbours as we love ourselves, we should love and forgive our enemies too. But how did Jesus love all his neighbours as he loves himself? How did Jesus hold out his hands on...

We have only achieved what we have achieved because of intelligent design, and mega computers. If you took intelligent design and computers out of the equation, we would never get there. We see the extent of life today, and if you extrapolate back far enough, we have to conclude that life had...

Ahhh, instead of saying God did it, you say evolution did it. This is not science. This looks like a very primitive and simple pile of bones, and if you stood them next to a formula one car engine, the engine would look far more complex. We can make efficient car engines, but we can't make a...

My spiritual home is the Catholic Church, but my journey has been one of conflict. A few years ago, I attended a three day conference for Churches Together in England, there were people from around twenty denominations. Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Conner; the head of the Catholic church in England...

If there was a burning need for modern man to evolve; over a period of around 3.8 billion years; stuff has to happen. Thirty trillion cells have to be organised to make up our bodies. They would have to grow at the rate of around 350 billion cells a day. What organising forces existed 3.8...

You could bring chemicals together with a fuse, and you have dynamite. You can't have an explosion without stuff that explodes. In theory, the BB should be similar. The complexity we see today surely cannot be the result of an explosion; with temperatures exceeding hot.

The Big Bang is a believable theory, it has been described in layman terms, we don't have to be scientists to understand the concept of the BB. However, as the theory stands, something popped into existence and went Bang, what was that something and where did it come from? If you believe this...

There is only 'One God', the creator of all that is seen and unseen. The same God hears all our prayers despite our differences. I believe the idols we worship are our sins that separate us from God - pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth.

When we go out with the Street Pastors late at night, we have to put our trust in God. We go out in our weakness and his strength. Every time I have walked in the middle of an angry drunken fight, I experience a profound sense of peace that is beyond my understanding. It's very much like the...

That too! :)

How can there possibly be evidence for events that happened 14 or 20 or 50 billion years ago? No evidence, only faith and trust. There is an even bigger 'If' there. What real hard evidence do you have, to show how the universe came about by natural causes only?

The CMBR is a plausible explanation for post BB. But that barely goes back 14 billion years, What happened 20 billion years before, or a trillion years before? This evidence has been destroyed by the BB. Its like putting some item of clothing with DNA, in a blazing furnace for a few days. Any...

Science says that smoking, obesity and drug addiction are bad for you, science has very convincing evidence to back this up. How many people on this Earth choose to ignore all the convincing evidence, that science puts forwards. In the Uk, there are graphic and horrible pictures on cigarette...

I could equally say, this implies God created all that is seen and unseen. Did this Soul/Psyche create the universe and life, was it responsible for the Big Bang? The bottom line for my words and yours is belief, we neither have hard testifiable evidence.

Science is not proving this daily, they have lots of wonderful ideas and beliefs, but all lacking in evidence. Where is the real hard evidence, to show where the matter and energy came from, that set the Big Bang in motion? The skeletal system is probably the most complex mechanical structure...
