The Core of Christianity

[StreetLethalRacing]

Marquez, you are an absolute fool. Keep burying the sheep even more so in such ridiculous systematic dogma. Religion is meaningless. Human virtue, which all men are graced with, is all that matters. Allow our mortal lives to be the natural teacher here, and stop interfering with your opportunist nature....

There is no content in his presentation. Where is the knowledge and wisdom in this speech? What can I take from this other than just blind belief. What is the kingdom of God. Somebody please tell me. He never really answered that question unfortunately.

[goyomarquez]

As to the meaning of the Kingdom of God, this is a series of lessons. If you wish to learn the meaning of the phrase watch the entire series.

To be truthful I have read the bible and have gone to church for the last 15 years and they have never really answered that question. What is our reason for living? Do you know? If you do please tell me yourself. Peace

[goyomarquez]

As to our reason for living the Orthodox churches as in Greek Orthodox or Russian Orthodox have a saying: The reason for being is becoming. Our purpose is to become what God intended for us to be from the very beginning.

[sandman640]

Did God intend us to gain knowledge and wisdom? Are the true treasures of the spirit wisdom and knowledge concerning God's creation?

Read the Bible. Love Jesus as he loves you or his followers will kill you!!

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.  Luke 19:27

That it is him. Read Revelation to clarify it. Secondly, stop think only one verse is worth anything alone.

[Hierophant2]

Sheesh I hate that. Had to stop it short he was too annoying. God is in his holy temple. :)

I perused your website and noticed a nasty little smear you posted against Richard Dawkins for having the audacity (or open-mindedness) to admit that nothing, including evolution, can ever be proven absolutely. And you take that, I presume, as evidence that the earth is 6000 years old and all biological science for the past 150 years in every country has been a lie.

When you Christians stop surpressing science, maybe your religion will stop fading away.

[goyomarquez]

Just for the sake of clarity here's the quote true intentions is referring to: "Here's an amazing thing, Richard Dawkins, one of the foremost Darwinists/Evolutionists in the world, "... an evolutionary biologist and the Charles Simonyi Professor For The Understanding Of Science at Oxford University..." and author of numerous books promoting evolution and defending it against all comers, has admitted in writing that he cannot prove evolution."

[sandman640]

I read that Darwin took part in the world voyage of the survey ship "Beagle", which was underway on the world's seas from 1831 until 1836.That his theory is not based on his own thought processes or from his own research, rather on a Tibetan legend that all humans descended from eight different branches of apes.That Darwin falsified an ape skeleton in order to demonstrate his theory

[goyomarquez]

Here's more of the quote about Dawkins: In response to the question, " WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE EVEN THOUGH YOU CANNOT PROVE IT? " posed by the science blog, Edge, to 118 scientists including Dawkins, Dawkins said:

[goyomarquez]

Here's more of the quote about Dawkins: I believe, but I cannot prove, that all life, all intelligence, all creativity and all 'design' anywhere in the universe, is the direct or indirect product of Darwinian natural selection. It follows that design comes late in the universe, after a period of Darwinian evolution. Design cannot precede evolution and therefore cannot underlie the universe.

[TrueIntentions]

No scientific principle can be proven absolutely. That's why we call them theories, isn't it? But don't take that as evidence that evolutionary theory is somehow less proven than, for example, gravitational theory.

What sets science apart from religion is that science can be DISproven. If we'd looked inside the cell and not found genetic material, that would have disproven evolution. Theories are falsifiable, while religion is not.

[TrueIntentions]

I appreciate your commitment to clarity, and you seem to be a nice enough person from your sermons, but even the Pope has acknowledged that evolution occurs. Christianity is not hinged on Genesis irrevocably, and meanwhile, ethical people who like what you're saying are discouraged from aligning with you when they know you are at war with the teaching of science. I sincerely believe that Christianity will die in this century if it can't react to a changing world.

you actually think that you can move anybody."you" can do nothing without christ.
