No, it's not like saying there is something above God. God doesn't come from anything but God, it's just that God the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit are all of the same Divine Essence. They are all equally God. One is not " above " the other. It is a mystery because we're never going to...

But they're not partners with God because they are all God, in that they all come from one essence. It's just one of those mysteries.

If you go looking for the evil in people (not that you consciously go out searching), that's what you're going to find. If you have a bad experience with one Christian, and then assume that the next is going to be worse, and the next, and the next, it's just going to lend itself to more...

What do you mean voted for your harm? Is there some " let's beat up all the homosexuals " bill I don't know about?

Love IS the message. Out of everything, that's what people SHOULD get.

Provided that you WIN.

Okay, I was partly incorrect in this statement and didn't want to lead others into confusion without correcting it. This word means that the father, the son, and the holy spirit are all different persons (not personas, because that would implicate that God has " masks " he shows people) but they...

I'm not from Eugene. I'm from Las Vegas. And in Vegas, taking pie from strangers is like sucking on gum you found on the sidewalk. But again, I guess it's different in small towns, among other things that I am slowly figuring out in Eugene. Of course you'd eat pie AT a new church (who...

Yes, because we can presume what God thinks. Ahah. No. But I certainly think he would be interested in social injustices in the Holy Land.

This "church" protested in front of my high school and disrupted class because there happened to be a lot of homosexual students (it was an art school). They were shouting things at every student including myself things like " God hates **** " and " you're all going straight to hell ". And...

Would you eat a piece of pie that a stranger is giving to you on your doorstep? Hahaha, man, maybe this stuff works in small towns, but where I'm from, that stuff does NOT fly.

It doesn't make any sense to harbor a hatred for Christians when you've encountered a few bad eggs.

I didn't take it as rudeness, not at all, I understand that you do not accept it, I was just providing further explanation because I thought it was confusing you, as it can be a confusing statement to both Christians and non-Christians. I haven't got that same message about the Trinity from...

Catholicism isn't based on institutional evil, but the love of Christ, like Orthodoxy and Protestant churches alike. Stupid, undoubtedly evil decisions were made, but that's not the fault of Catholicism itself, Catholicism doesn't promote crimes against humanity, it's just some of the members...

I agree. After all, who would be inclined to listen to anything, especially religion, from someone so obnoxious? People would be more inclined to listen to the faith from individuals who were acting not only respectfully, but in a sane manner.

I don't have an issue with people spreading the good news, of course I don't, but this method bothers me. Not only are they NOT invited and disruptive, but then some of them have the nerve to try and question my beliefs after disrespecting me in the first place by coming uninvited. Especially...

They drive me crazy. Flat out. " Do you know Christ? " ' Yes ' and they still don't go away! Why don't stop wasting time and go try to convert someone who doesn't? I know some of you have had some bad experiences, and some good, and I want to hear them all.

I totally agree. Acts of kindness always get the message across more effectively than spouting off on a bus like a maniac or door-to-door missionaries.

Catholics now shouldn't have to apologize for or even feel guilt for the heinous crimes the Vatican committed in the past. All that is to be done is to prevent it from happening again. And people need to stop blaming the religion for these acts of cruelty when it's the mistakes of people who...

Well, when people say " Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God " they mean God the Father, another aspect of again, the same essence. The whole " you can't get to God unless you go through Jesus " can be seen as that if you deny Jesus, you deny a piece of trinity, and that means you are...
