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 don't see what the problem is pokey...


j/k... yeah, she does sound a little wack. but, i hate that THAT is they type of Christian you have to deal with everyday cause i'm sure she has done nothing but turn you even further away.

it is almost impossible for two or more people to talk about this subject and not offend someone. especially when one is a believer and the other not. but, i believe that a Christian should follow the bible. and the bible says to witness to all, but not to argue or push your beliefs on anyone cause i can't save you... only your faith in Christ can. if someone wants to find Christ... they will. if they don't.... they won't.

it's as simple as that.

everyone on this board knows where i stand on the subject. if anyone would like to discuss the subject with me, i would be more than happy to. but, i will no longer argue my point. that does nothing but make people mad and push people away from the others point of view. this does not mean that i will compromise my viewpoint, either. if my viewpoint is offensive to you than we will have to agree to disagree on that matter. now, if you ask me why my viewpoint is such, then we will discuss. i would even ask you the same.
