OUR choice? since when is a whole species' fate decided on just two individuals?[b said:Quote[/b] ] Because it was our choice to sin in the first place
I don't know about you but I never got a first one.[b said:Quote[/b] ]He gave us a second chance.
So the earth is outside god's reach? He created it didn't he? he says what the laws of the universe are... or if there are any laws at all. And I don't see how he's holding back the full force, after all, he created mutations, which makes diseases, pests, etc. resistant, and he created the pests themselves... he made them reproduce like crazy, he made them all that..[b said:Quote[/b] ]All of the above crap is just a natural process of a doomed earth, but God, in all of His mercy is holding back the FULL force of all those deseases and such.
or do you now accept evolution?
I don't see true believers being saved from diseases, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamies, accidents, etc. Do you?[b said:Quote[/b] ]When we choose to continue to follow Him, He will continue to hold the earth back from crashing down on us.
millions of people do that, why are there so many... denominations? Do you think you are the ones (whatever denomination or belief you have) that god answers to?[b said:Quote[/b] ]We have to seek Him in our lives and ask Him to open the scriptures to us.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]Without His Spirit we will all have different interpretations of His word
that's true now... does that mean his spirit isn't here?[b said:Quote[/b] ]Without the Spirit of God many interpretations are possible
doesn't everyone sin? isn't that like the very basic belief of christianity?[b said:Quote[/b] ]Also, some new Christians can only be fed with "milk" and not the "meat" of the word because they are still living in sin (1 corinthians 3:1-3)
I see it the other way around, people hate satanists even if they don't know what they stand for, and other people use that name to do bad things.[b said:Quote[/b] ]True Satanism is underground. What you see is a front group to legitimize it as just another harmless religion.
It's like one time in school, this girl gave me this christian comic strip kind of thing that talked about "the true origins of halloween" and talked about how satanists and pagans all did human sacrifices and black cats and worshiped the devil and stuff. Well, that's totally false!
PS.
I think it's not about worshiping yourself, is about not worshiping others. You do what you want to because YOU want to, You believe what YOU believe, not because a book tells you to.[b said:Quote[/b] ]I don't want to worship myself, it makes me sound like I have SERIOUS pride issues.
