gotigrz's Christianity topic, part 2 Options

[gotigrz]

Someone i think badman or merica actually asked ed in person and he admitted being a christian. im pretty sure his is a little more of an open faith (i remember a recent interview where he stated that praying doesnt do much good in the world) I know he thinks the bible is the best source of morality and guide for mankind but im not clear if he believes in the divinity of jesus or that he was born of a virgin etc...

well, if ed said that he was a Christian, then he does believe in the virgin birth, the dying on the cross, and the resurrection 3 days later. that is the criteria of being a Christian. nobody says, .. "yeah, i'm a Christian, but that whole virgin birth thing is just crazy."

when ed said that about prayer not doing much good (i heard the interview)... he was referring to prayer that he thinks isn't really "prayer". he was saying that when you are truly in prayer with God that you are like one with Him, and that most people just close their eyes and ask for something. and, that THAT isn't doing much good cause that's what most people do and look at the world around us. PRAYER... aka... truly talking to God is VERY powerful.

I just thought that this was a thread for this exact discussion. That's why it was moved from the EK thread. And I thought that others (maybe even just one other) might learn something or be interested in it - if not today, then maybe a month from now when they find it on here. Better yet, I was hoping to open gotigrz's eyes to some new ideas and perspectives.

But OK, if you don't like us having this discussion in a thread, then I'll bail out on it. No problem. It takes too long to write these long posts anyway.

Wait what? No one forces them to click on this thread and no one is stopping anyone from adding their own opinions. When I read that post I laughed. Asking a thread to be closed cause they're bored or it's not to their liking? HAHAHA , some people I tell ya.

and voodoolady, you do NOT speak for me so don't assume that everyone is getting bored. I haven't even added any of my opinions (cause they pretty much have been stated by others) but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying reading this and I'm sure there are others. Simply don't click on this thread.

Keep going guys.
