I love how God, the one who created the entire universe, made Himself into the body of an infant, was born to a virgin, and lived his life to die for us on the cross. Nothing we do saves us; it is the blood that Jesus shed for us to cover our sins that has saved us. Thank you Jesus, for you were born to die yet you came anyway, on Christmas, more than 2,000 years ago. Amen.
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." (HEBREWS 11:1-3)
faith is enough. but there's plenty of evidence to prove the bible on the internet if you research: like the fact that the whole universe fits together - and its mathematically impossible that it could have been due to chance
"and its mathematically impossible that it could have been due to chance"
The very fact that chance is involved makes it a mathematical certainty it could be by chance. I have a hard time listening to a scientific lecture from someone who believes in talking snakes.
not really theres alot of things thathappened in the bible that can be explained through science. but theres other things that would just be baffling if you attempted to explain through science like creation or a talking donkey.
to be honest i wouldnt expect you to understand what i'm saying since you live in the physical and will probably only believe if you touc something (like Thomas)
God created water, snakes, whales etc. so why can't God control manipulate what he created in order to do what he wants?
God isn't held by the laws of science. he can do whatever he want's whenever he wants. i don't really like using clichés but "God can makes impossibilities possible". it's the world that says that snakes can't talk or that one man's blood can't save the world. but it's God that says i can.
Hi, I agree with you in the sense that our religion has many holes.However, maybe this holes are left by God himself so we should make an effort to think. In our religion, God gave us the right to have Freedom of choice and then face the consequences.
Yes. Refer to my other post about the word "theory." A theory refers to an explanation of phenomena. Any good scientist won't call gravity a fact. The title "theory" doesn't imply any weakness in its argument. I assume you meant "evolution" instead of "creation."
All what a theory is, is a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation. It is not fact! If anyone does say it is fact then they do not have any credibility to them whatsoever.
I never said it was fact. Theories are supported by evidence. They explain phenomena. They are accepted by the scientific community. Theories can only be disproved, never proven as fact. Because it doesn't have the label "fact" doesn't mean it's untrue, as I've said before.
And just because religion does not have the label "fact" aswel does not make that untrue either. The changes that Jesus Christ has had on people in the religious community and the wonderful things that I and others have seem him do to people is spectacular.
You know the Bible on an intellectual level not on a personal one therefore naturally it will mean nothing to you. Its evident to me that deep down you know that there is a God and you wll spend youre whole life denying it, until that one day will come when you are on your death bed an old man and you will finally be open minded on the subject. Also how on earth does the media show Christianity in a postive light? Did you not watch tv??
(cont..) You say that evolution explains everything? Hmm.. I dont think evolution can explain how the earth and universe is so perfectly knit together and why is it we as human beings experience sensations such as emotion and love.
OK EVERYONE I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I LOVE CHRIST AND I KNOW A LITTLE bit how you feel i have met some really mean christions that always have pride but there is hope because there is very very christlike people i will pray for you all
(cont..) but what I think is crazy is people who believe that our fully working world and universe, that is perfectally designed for us is all a big coincidence, are not just naive but crazy aswel.
Here's where you are wrong: the universe was not designed for us; we are a byproduct. Ever notice that other species exist as well? Ever notice that humans have existed for 10,000 years of the Earth's 4.5 billion-year existence? The universe was not designed for us, joetyke.
And here is where you are wrong: even though the universe has existed before man, humans have still been created to perfectly exist within the universe. If this perfectly designed world is such a mistake then why is it that almost everything in it has been made for our benefit, such as the food that is produced on it i.e. vegetables, fruit, animals and water. Bit of a coincidence isnt it?? Tobaman111
No. We have evolved to make use of the food our environment has offered us, joetyke. We don't miraculously fit into the world. We are made of the same elements and we have evolved to use our resources. You have it backwards.
Your atheism is evident Tobaman111, but could you please keep your blind thoghts for yourself? I mean, who was there to say how the Earth was made? no scientist can answer that. But the Bible DOES answer that. We have no eye-witnesses to describe what happened 4-bllion years ago, do we? dude, it's simple!... "In the beggining God created the Heaven and the Earth" Gen. 1:1
Are you joking? You tell me to stay quiet, but go on to profess what you take as truth truth? The crowds shout "hypocrisy!" By the way, don't ever use your bible as evidence in an argument against someone who thinks it's just a book.
Show me where I told you to be quiet? You tell me not to use my Bible as evidence, but at the end of the day if you believe in evolution (something which has no hard evidence) then dont use 'Darwins Origin of the Species' to try and discredit me, because like you see the Bible, I see Darwins work as 'just a book' aswel.
Not you, joetyke. Dkzdrood told me to "keep my thoughts to myself." Evolution, however, has volumes of hard evidence. Don't let your church deceive you. The bible is not hard evidence. It is a series of stories written two millenia ago. Interesting fiction, perhaps.
(cont..) fruit and veg (that are good for us) are just a result of high temperature and high pressure then be my guest, even though I would like you to be more open minded about God as it seems to me that it is in fact that is afraid to step into what you call 'enemy' territory.
Clearly you don't understand the what the term "theory" means - a scientific explanation for phenomena. Gravity, for instance, is also a theory. Do you believe in gravity? By the way, we evolutionists don't consider Darwin our prophet!
(cont...) I don't know where youre hatred of religion has come from but if you think that at the end of the day that we are just going to rot six feet under and thats it then go ahead, but if you're so sure that there is no God then it should'nt bother you that people believe in him because in the end nothing is going to happen either way right...?
Emotion and love serve an evolutionary biological purpose: the promotion of conception. Yes, when we die, we die. My beef with religion has to do with the millions of deaths it causes, the annoying proselytizing followers, and the impediment it is to human knowledge. Those are just some.
Religion doesnt cause deaths, people do. There is no religion that promotes violence and hatred towards anybody, it is just how people have interpreted it for their own selfish means over time. The fact that you say that emotion and love are of a evolutionary purpose is just absurd because if we apparently evolve to become better, then wouldnt things such as emotion and love just get in the way as they would be drawbacks into enabling us to become a more superior species.
No. Emotion serves a biological purpose. Without emotion, the human race would cease to repopulate. It's entirely evolutionary. If the deluded agents of religion kill one another, what is the difference? It might as well be the religion itself. The Quran tells Muslims to kill infidels, by the way. That's not encouraging violence?
The Quran does not tell its followers to kill infidels whatsoever! Again you have shown what little knowledge you have on religion and its laughable. And if anything without emotion the human race would not cease to opoulate whatsoever because we would be like the animals and mate with anyone because physical and spiritual attributes would not matter at all!
Sura (8.12) - "Cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them." Sura (9.30) - And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah... may Allah destroy them." The Qur'an doesn't preach violence? Have you read it? I have.
And at the end of the day, what it the point in anything if God does not exist? If we are all just going to die then we might aswel just do what we want when we want and live only for ourselves. The fact is if God does not exist then you are wasting your time with this debate as there is literally no point to it.
We atheists appreciate life more than you theists because we know it's all we have. We haven't deluded ourselves into thinking that suicide bombing will bring us rewards in a magical afterlife, for instance. It's insulting, as a matter of fact, to the human race to attribute all altruism to religious deference. You deny any goodness in man.
(Cont..) Also I don't dendy goodness in men whatsoever, many humans have done wonderous things such as Ghandi, Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King and so on. Youre narrow minded view on religion and its followers is disgusting, and by you being a frustrated and bitter atheist is not making things better for anyone. Enough said!
As Christians we expect this kind of retoric. They criticized and crucified Jesus and he told us to expect to be opposed as well. We will still love you and pray for you. It's not about religion, it's about relationship. It's better than any other. No other single person in all of history has had the effect of this one man. God is real. One day you'll find this out, one way or the other. Blessings
How is believeing in someone who promoted peace and love amongst mankind evil?! The only reason your criticising Christianity is because you probebly dont know much about it, therfore you have a narrow minded view of it! At the end of the day if you think Christianity is evil bullshit then give all your presents back that you got for christmas and never celebrate again, otherwise youre just a hypocrite!
All this is talking about is peace and joy and you say it's evil? I think someone's got their priorities and opinions mixed up. You sound like a Nazi.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
If you dont really KNOW Jesus, all you have is other people's perception and opinions on Christ. Everyone who has encountered Jesus in their lives knows that He is real.
Buddy, nobody has encountered Jesus in his or her life for a couple millenia now. You and your religious friends have deluded yourselves into thinking that a guy who died a long time ago is talking to you. Doesn't that sound crazy?
The only reason you think its sounds crazy is because you do not have a relationship with God. You say that Christianity is a combination of optimistic thinking and sadomasochism, but I can assure you that I am nothing like that (except maybe thinking optimistically every once in a while, but doesnt everyone) you attack religion because you do not understand it, and if you want to think that over 2 billion people world wide are crazy for believeing in God then go ahead..
The reasons behind this video are awesome. Putting it right there in people's faces what Christmas is about....although I did laugh a bit when he was playing with the pinata.
See I'm pagan and even I can understand and enjoy this video. No matter your beliefs the point is can't we all just sit down for at least one day and be each others friend?
I think that he means by "Christmas- Jesus Is The Reason For The Season" is Jesus is the reason for the season of Christmas. Otherwise it wouldn't be called Christmas.
God sent his Son, but people make choices called free will and sometimes your choices can cause your death and Jesus will watch it happen. Ignorance is no excuse.
Merry Christmas to all !!! Many Blessings!!!
