You get what you believe. Whether you want to prove it biblically or scientifically, BELIEF is the key. Belief and faith are one in the same. God does exist but you have a choice to believe or not. Either way you are right. About finances, I totally disagree because I have evidence that God blessed my family with $11,000.00 in one night! He also say in his word that Jesus became poor so that we might become rich. Others try to say that this is rich in the Spirit, but this is financial wealth.
whats there not to understand,he doesnt do anything because he doesnt exist.we as human beings put food on the table and try to manage our money as best we can.The real question is with all their money and fine art,why doesnt the vatican do more.They could sell all that art and give the money away to those in need,but then they wouldnt have their status symbols.And this pope last year said being rich is a sin.religion is nothing but a get rich quick sceme my the religious conmen
Jesus said: "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
So the real question is: why doesn't god keep his promise?
Havent I already explained ur "sources" are worthless as it comes from the vatican itself. Anyone can claim anything and try to distort facts, the they cant hide truth. Try for once, leaving the vatican site and trying a GOOGLE or BING SEARCH and look for credible evidence. Also if ur too lazy or scared to do that, youtube penn&teller bullshit-the vatican, and watch that episode.It has all the evidence and shows u exactly where to go to find truth and its been tried and tested the world over.
@dwreck80 I've checked the video, thank you very much for that. They are based on a very close minded view of history and deliberate misinterpretation of information. How tipical. Well I did try my best. A last word. I'm not an idiot and do reckon the many grave mistakes of the Church, the trial of the Knights Templar and Joan of Arc as just the tip of the iceberg. Still, nowadays it's cool to hate the church, so well, I'll just let you go on and won't bother you. Have a good life.
Are u serious? The pope has been hunting rapist priest? What rock do u live under and do u not live in our world? Your current pope is responsible for creating the documents to PROTECT priests that molest kids and threaten abused families with excommunication. Do some research about joseph ratsinger AKA pope benedict before u make a fool of urself with comments like that.
@dwreck80 how about the girl in south america who was raped by her dad for her whole life. she became pregnant with twins at i think age 8. she was way too small to bare children so an abortion was performed to save her life. the doctor and the girls mother were excommunicated, but the rapist father is still part of the church. this is why atheists laugh when arguments over morality and ethics arise. you know what jesus wouldn't do? protect rapists and punish the families of under-aged victims.
@largegrainsofsalt exactly there are so many examples of these sorts of things going on all the time,yet ppl want to dismiss it and act as if its a rare and uncommon occurrence when it clearly isnt. like iv been told most of my life, ignorance really is bliss, and sadly genious doesnt rub off on others, only stupidity does.
funny that you bring up aids, as the pope told ppl in aids plagued south africa that condom use INCREASES aids transmission rates. so instead of helping ppl with aids god sends a pedophile defending liar to help further the spread of aids in one of the most uneducated and poor places on earth. and you wonder why atheism is spreading like wildfire...
@largegrainsofsalt Pope said: "I would say that this problem of AIDS cannot be overcome merely with money, necessary though it is. If there is no human dimension, if Africans do not help, the problem cannot be overcome by the distribution of prophylactics: on the contrary, they increase it. The solution must have two elements: firstly, bringing out the human dimension of sexuality,[...] and secondly, true friendship offered above all to those who are suffering..."
@MiloDeEscorpio the "human dimension of sexuality" is this: you, and everyone else alive, are alive only because you come from an unbroken line of sexually active ancestors. the odds of the pope convincing anyone not to have sex is exactly zero percent. sex is in our genes, thats why we are here. condoms protect against aids. knowledge protects against aids. the pope, the catholic church, and your assertion that their authority makes them right no matter what, all help to spread aids.
@largegrainsofsalt Of course sex is necessary, God says in the Genesis 'procreate and repopulate the Earth'. The problem is that sex should be a simbiotic complement of love, never alone.
Condoms, if used alone, can't stop AIDS, and thus as a consequence help spread it. Education, better life standards, massive health campaigns, all those things help erradicate this plague.
@MiloDeEscorpio condoms are literally the only thing that decreases the chances of getting aids. condoms fail when they break or are used wrong. abstinence fails when a person uses it wrong(has sex). abstinence has a higher failure rate than condoms. that's why states with abstinence only education have higher teen std rates, teen pregnancy rates, repeat teen pregnancy rates, and teen abortion rates. to imply, in any way, that condoms are part of the problem is a demonstrable lie.
@largegrainsofsalt Yes, condoms reduce AIDS, that is doubtless. But just mass distributing condoms isn't enough, here in Argentina condoms are very accesible and we have lots of AIDS. The needed thing is proper sexual education. Nothing more, nothing less. Condoms are NOT part of the problem. BUT condoms alone are not enough.
@MiloDeEscorpio i completely agree. the biggest hurdle for the education effort has always been the stigma over condom use caused by the roman catholic church. so you now admit the pope lied and gave uneducated ppl a recipe for getting aids. so i ask again, how big of a lie would he have to tell before you stop defending him? if he said the sky was red would it be enough? if he said he made a square circle? he said that the 1 thing proven to prevent aids doesn't. where is the line in the sand?
@MiloDeEscorpio so when i ask to what extent a person must be wrong before you disagree, I'M the 1 insulting your intelligence?!? no, the thing insulting your intelligence is the answer you refused to give: the church wouldn't stand up to hitler, and i'm ok with that. the pope does more to spread aids than anyone else on the planet, and i'm ok with that. the pope helps child molesters stay out of jail and continue molesting, and i'm ok with that. but no, i'm insulting and your mature, got it.
@largegrainsofsalt The Church's mission is not to stand up to powers. It however was able to stop the persecution of christians with the Concordat. What could an armyless state do against Nazi Germany? Sounds weird.
And I take as an insult that you suggest I believe everything I'm being told. I was told the Church didn't do any atrocities in America with the indians and that's total BS.
@MiloDeEscorpio furthermore the pope, who is telling people to use abstinence and not condoms, cannot even keep his own priests from raping children. you think he's going to stop poor, uneducated people who have nothing to do all day and nothing to look forward to in life from having sex? seriously, how wrong would this mass pedophile defender have to be before you admitted it? flat earth? gravity denial? pythagorean theorem denial? hes just crazy man with a large hat who preys on the ignorant.
The Pope has been hunting rapist priests since the seventies, with variable success. The thing is that requirements for priesthood have relaxed this last 100 years because of a lack of seminarists. But check the sources. Check on the internet how the Pope himself stopped the Legion of Christ from doing any more damage. In fact no other Pope ever gotten into the matter as deep as he has.
@MiloDeEscorpio Are u serious? The pope has been hunting rapist priest? What rock do u live under and do u not live in our world? Your current pope is responsible for creating the documents to PROTECT priests that molest kids and threaten abused families with excommunication. Do some research about joseph ratsinger AKA pope benedict before u make a fool of urself with comments like that.
@MiloDeEscorpio and what exactly changed your mind? the church refused to get involved during WW2, and the local bishop released a statement praising god for sparing hitlers life during a bombing raid. now the church is actively trying to spread aids. there are 3 well documented cases where your pope helped mass child molesters keep molesting. when the mormons in the US give all their money to keep gay marriage illegal, not a peep from the catholic church. what were they ever right about?
@MiloDeEscorpio Offensive claims??? NO Facts, the one thing I have learned is not to argue or go back and forth with someone unwilling to see real truth and hardcore set on defending that which they BELIEVE is right. While everyone is entitled to BELIEVE whatever they choose, the truth and facts are out there, and no matter how hard u try and hide it or try to cover it up or change it, it doesnt work my friend. It makes u look just as bad for supporting it.
@dwreck80 No, you're not supporting facts, you are just as fundamentalist as the Church you think you oppose. I am not guided by blindness or a mad desire to ignore truth. Believing, and supporting -to a degree- the Church is a logical step for me.
@MiloDeEscorpio Please explain why the catholic church forbids condom use in africa where AIDS runs rampant. Have u researched how many women are raped and infected or how many husbands come home and infect their wives, but the church ignores that fact and teaches condoms are the same as abortion? So its ok to infect and kill a grown human being with an incurable disease, but its a sin against god to use latex and prevent more mouths we already cant feed?
@dwreck80 Because the Pope's words were taken out of context. He meant to say that if only condoms are used against AIDS, without proper sexual and moral education, things will eventually simply get worse. He doesn't mean condoms=aids, see?
@MiloDeEscorpio And come up with a better excuse for failure than the pope was taken out of context. He meant to say this, he meant to say that, blah blah blah, just excuses after excuses but im sure thats why it keeps going on in the church because of ppl like urself. U can and im sure will defend em till the end, but what do they do for u beside use u for money and power. If u havent noticed, times are changing and the losing its stranglehold over humanity. So u should let go too.
@MiloDeEscorpio insulted? grasping at strings now. no one called you ugly or stupid. you simply cannot support your position because it's all based on your own wishful thinking. wishing the pope had tried to do the right thing when he didn't, wishing the church had stood up for the things they preach about when they didn't, wishing people were more than a cash cow to the church when they aren't. wish in one hand, crap in the other. see which one fills up first.
@largegrainsofsalt I can support my position and I've been doing it relentlessly. But he says I have wishful thinking. That's underestimating. I never insulted any two of you besides claiming dwreck80 has a more or less fanatical view. But I don't go around saying "oh, go and abort babies and rot in hell". No. I totally respect your position and try to offer my POV, in an educated manner.
@MiloDeEscorpio hahaha First Im a fundamentalist, now a fanatic? Could u expand more on that please? I simply asked questions after u made statements that are known to everyone but u to be false. And u have yet to try to show how the church is stopping molestation in anyway, and why the former bishop, now pope, wrote all the protocol of how to protect priest and punish families that come forth with abuse cases.
@dwreck80 What protocol? Can you produce any evidence, at all, to any (any) of your claims? Have you even seen the links I've shown you? Have you read even the very basic, the wiki article? Anything at all?
@MiloDeEscorpio You can keep trying stall tactics and grasping at straws or simply trying to divert the attention away, but ur failing miserably. Obviously u are so lost, closeminded and stuck in your own world that the church has created for u, u wouldnt be able to see any real fact or truth regardless of whats presented. So continue to live in ur bubble and enjoy it as u obviously do, I dont have anymore time to waste attempting to teach a blind person how to differentiate color.
@MiloDeEscorpio And another thing, if ur going to try to convince ppl of things and do your own research, try going to a library or looking up more credible evidence than wikipedia. While it is a useful tool, u need to use more than 1 tool to build a foundation to stand upon. Wikipedia is not the end all be all of the information superhighway.
@MiloDeEscorpio Do u not see the major flaw in that? The vatican websites? Thats like saying being evil is a good thing cuz the devil told me so. U cant give proof or facts about a subject when u get the"proof and fact" from the source that causes the problem. A murderer doesnt admit being a murderer, rapist dont admit to rape, etc. As for being a fundamentalist, yes of logic and truth, which no religion has or uses anywhere. Its all about who can tel the biggest lie, no more, but a lot less.
The Vatican website is the best source to get the full speech or declaration of the Pope. I invite you to bring your careful research and timely investigations to this discussion. Else, please stop the flaming.
@largegrainsofsalt Pope said: "I would say that this problem of AIDS cannot be overcome merely with money, necessary though it is.

First thing you need to understand is you don't have to ask God for anything.You already have everything. You need to stop crying and belly aching about everything. Stop ask and start thanking God. If you lack money Health or anything else is because you refuse to except it. God will not force anything on you.
ps...i pray your book is a flop..there you go...another prayer not answered as i know there are many stupid christians to buy your book...forget about going home!..come into reality instead
