I think they are the most important subjects that deserve to be discussed

**lotaquestions** · 04-13-2008, 10:55 PM

does it have to get messy?

**feanixco** · 04-13-2008, 10:55 PM

People get very emotional and defensive about these subjects, however I like speaking with people about their views and beliefs.
I have a degree in Bible/Religion and I am considering returning to school to get my Masters in Divinity.

**boots555** · 04-13-2008, 10:56 PM

Did you goto a Christian University

**boots555** · 04-13-2008, 10:57 PM

I would enjoy talking with you about them

**boots555** · 04-13-2008, 10:58 PM

I am very familiar with the bible and diff. Scholars

**feanixco** · 04-13-2008, 10:58 PM

Did you goto a Christian University

I started out at a State university and then transfered to a Christian University. I wont name the school but I am considering returning the world's largest seminary.

Nice Narkissos

**feanixco** · 04-13-2008, 11:04 PM

I went to a bible college for a while, now I study on my own.

Sometimes that better than sitting in a class. I have found a really great mentor and we get together on Saturday mornings and discuss theology. I have learned so much from him.

**boots555** · 04-13-2008, 11:05 PM

Nice

**boots555** · 04-13-2008, 11:06 PM

I got really into debates. Christianity vs. Atheism and so on

**lotaquestions** · 04-13-2008, 11:07 PM

**boots555** · 04-13-2008, 11:10 PM

**lotaquestions** · 04-13-2008, 11:14 PM

**boots555** · 04-13-2008, 11:16 PM

Nice. What church do you goto

**Amorphic** · 04-13-2008, 11:18 PM

i cant justify believing in something that is unknown.

there hasnt been a miracle in 2000 years, nor any evidence that even suggests in the mildest form that christianity, or any religion is correct.

to trap your mind in a regurgitated frame of mind passed down over generations seems to be such a waste imo.

for all we know jesus could have been a schizophrenic who 'heard voices' and pursuaded people to believe him.

in modern times we know that people who hear 'voices of god' are usually suffering from a mental disorder, (schizophrenia, possibly schizotypal) and that they need treatment.

2000 years ago when there was hardly any knowlege on the inner workings of the mind and mental disorders, a schizophrenic man who heard the voice of god could be considered as being legit.

**lotaquestions** · 04-13-2008, 11:18 PM

im a baptist, but attend different donominations regularly

-A life that is born again is a miracle that happens every day. IT is the greatest miracle of all. Other miracles happens at time when the word of God needs to be moved. We see this at the time of Moses and Elijah and the New testament saints.

-There is only three options for Jesus. He was eigther Lord, Liar, or Lunatic. No scholar would agree that He was some schizophrenic.

-Your third point is true. But this is not the case of those who saw him. I can go into more detail if you like. He was seen by more than 500 people at one time. Paul tells us most of them were still alive in his day.

Jesus did not claim to hear God. Those around him heard Gods voice. Jesus claimed to be God. (If you have seen me you have seen the father)

what is the hardest part about being a christian to you?

**lotaquestions** · 04-13-2008, 11:54 PM

i seem to do better when i am going through hard times compared to when every thing is going good. then i tend to put god on the back burner and think that i am in control.
