...I'm suprised you guys don't see the utter immoras disgust in the decapitation of matyrs....Let alone all of the other outrageous and sickening and wicked stories in the bible...You guys honestly cannot see the occult and unnecessary slaughtering oh human beings in the name of your god??? I think I'm gonna be sick...

[lazbo4174]

maybe i am wrong and you did read the Bible without any bias, if that is so then i ask you you prayerfully read it again, focusing on the life of Christ as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

i for a long time disgarded the Scripture and had similair views to yourself. a correct understanding of the Bible totally changed my perception of our Creator and now i have a peace of mind that nables me to cope with all of lifes problems. thanks for your comment.

First of all, I find it unsettling that a loving god would comdemn us to hellfire for crimes we did not commit, and from the fact that he created us sick, and commanded us to be cured. I find that highly unethical and unhealthy.

[lazbo4174]

where does Scripture telll us that we are condemned to hellfire for crimes we did not commit? "he created us sick, and commanded us to be cured"? where do you get that idea from my friend?

[evilnomad111]

Furthermore, just like in the old testimate where the amalachites were wiped out down to the last man, woman, and child, if god told me to smash a child's head in with a rock to fulfill his will, I'd have to tell him to find somebody else to do it....THATS true morality my friend, where you can stick to what is right, ethical, and rational even if god himself told you to do otherwise.....

[lazbo4174]

As i stated in a previous post... read the Gospels for they are a revelation of God's character as expressed in the life of Christ. The destruction of the Amelakites was an act of mercy. As a nation they had become evil beyond measure and if their existance were prolonged much more sorrow than the sorrow felt at their destruction would have been the result.

@lazbo4174 I don't know about that...I refuse to believe that God would instruct anyone to kill babies..I believe the bible was tampered with.

Over the years we have all been lied to by many false Religous Leaders and so called prophets. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false leaders. If you are a truth seeker please visit the web site which is displayed in our user name and take the time to read some of the articles... You will be very shocked.

There is a great audio there for you to listen to. You will come away asking many questions.

Blessings

Thanks Ben

All I have to say is I hope I'm never faced with this decision. But, if so, I also hope I'd have enough faith to die. I seen a dramatized play called House of Martyrs, and it really made me think about my life as a Believer. At the time, I wasn't really sure what I'd do, I mean people had to sit and watch their whole family be murdered and they still would not deny Christ as their Savior, what FAITH... WOW!!! Jesus, give me the Faith and courage that these people had, if I ever face martyrdom.

A mob killed Stephen. A mob killed Joseph Smith. Does being killed by a mob make a person a martyr and validate their beliefs? No, such an act just brings shame on those who commit it and does nothing to demonstrate the truth or otherwise of the beliefs in question. Often mobs kill people because they misunderstand the nature of the beliefs held, as in the murder and persecution of "witches in league with Satan" who were probably neither lovers of Satan nor followers of pagan religions either.

[xiaolong143]

Yes, in some muslim nations some of our missionaries already suffered martyrdom in defense of the faith and serving the living God, and No, not until the rapture of the church takes place. Unsaved people that will left after the rapture will suffer the great tribulation if they will refuse to mark their body 666 as what Jesus said in the book of Matthew 24 and Revelation. Nevertheless we have our own struggles in life, do not worry God will give us grace.
