Good post, akbar, especially the parts that stress humility. A "phenomenon" that is in all of humanity is this fact that all see, deep down, that we're not the answer to all questions! :) I find it a bit strange that we don't ask each other this: "What is the basis of all you say?" or at least...

Hey Dattaswami, great question. The basis of most religions is earning some sort of eternal bliss... In order to understand Christianity and salvation, I encourage you to read the book of Romans. Human interpretation that you can receive here and elsewhere is useful at times, but the source of...

I agree with you, Blazn, good analogy, too. And mee, I can see your reasoning, Jesus always (to the best of my knowledge) calls God the Father. I have a question (mainly for mee): Why couldn't Jesus be God? What makes that hard to accept? I'm simply seeking opinions, based on verses or...

1 Cor. 15:20-26 "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn...

Welcome seattlegal and Cobber! I look forward to your contributions and I hope you can learn, too!

...and even though I am first appaled at what I see, I know there is hope, because...

Good point, Faithfulservant. As I've heard many people say concerning emotions, "just look at the Psalms." As for the topic of this thread, I believe the Bible shows us that God does want us to speak to Him, and He wants to speak to us. And He can do that however He wants, of course, because...

Welcome to CR, MattWolf! Great question, by the way. You're absolutely right about how people are imperfect and therefore we can't know it all. Recently I spoke with a man who says he's a christian, but does not want to attend church. I asked why, and he said the reason was that so many people...

Wow, I haven't been on here for quite awhile, but I found this thread quite interesting, Path. You've always made me long to spend more time in nature, just basking in the wonder of the creation and praising the Creator. I find it interesting how you connect your experiences with your...

dayaa, I'm glad you aren't afraid to ask anything, and you put it in such a polite way!:) I looked up a good explanation, and here's one I found: http://www.gotquestions.org/substitutionary-atonement.html There's also a page that tells about different theories of what Jesus' death...

I believe that Christians use the phrase, "accept Jesus" too much. It sends the wrong message. It is much more than simply accepting, I can accept anything without believing in it. Even demons believe God exists and that Jesus is the Christ, God's Son. "You believe that there is one God...

Yay, a Southern Baptist! Welcome, Mister Emu, I am also a KY S. Baptist. I look forward to your contributions at this site!

Welcome, I hope you find CR helpful and fun!

Okay, here is the profound question of the day: How many legs does a dog have, if you consider the tail a leg?

I agree, InLove. First, the Scriptures say this: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20 God didn't just let people die off...

Wow, thanks for the reminder, finally it's technically summer! That's hard for me to accept since I'm taking summer classes..... The name should remind me, though!;) The weather fluctuates here in Kentucky this time of year, but it should stay above 70 during the day from now till September.

Here are my results, I like how I'm so much an Orthodox Quaker;) but it said on there that Quakers supposedly are a lot like Prodestants. 1. Mainline - Conservative Christian Protestant (96%)2. Orthodox Quaker (100%) 3. Seventh Day Adventist (87%) 4. Eastern Orthodox (85%) 5. Roman Catholic...

I found a article of sorts on this: http://www.gotquestions.org/free-will-sovereign.html Some people spend their entire lives debating on this issue. I wonder what God is thinking when we ask questions and give answers about things like this. I guess when those of us who are believers are in...

Here's a little something that came to me after spending time in God's Word and prayer. Trusting in God is like flying. We're on a cliff over the ocean, scary, yet such an adventure. Others are out there flying, but they can't hold up others on their backs. We gain our own wings when we say...

Yes, Bandit, I did happen to see that thread today. I mostly agreed, but more than that the thread by Juantoo3 was inspiring to me, which is what matters more for now. Thanks for mentioning it, though!
