I'm a guy but, *internet fistbump*

Almost every Disney movie has been ruined thanks to the internet

What they be sayin'?

What if I told you that I too believe that's how God created everything? Big bang = god said "let there be light". Evolution in the way that is taught in schools? No. But more so, adaption.
You know what's funny? I've been criticized by both side for those beliefs. It just adds proof that people aren't who they say they are. Especially accepting.
And your welcome. I prefer a reasoned debate over a heated pigeon argument.
Also, thank you. I've recently (about three weeks ago) started reading apologetics and this was a good debate on a heavily touched subject.

Question 3.
It’s not “their way” it’s “his way”. He made it to where everyone can go to heaven by a few simple words, and asking for forgiveness. Before Jesus the only way to get to heaven was if you were handpicked by God because you did your best to live they way he wanted. Christians seem to be the only group to follow the teachings of Christ. (for those who say they follow him but are not Christian, look up the meaning of the word).

Question 2.
To be honest, I only know what is taught in schools about other religions. I will, however, start learning about them in the near future. But from a biblical standpoint, yes. If you don’t follow the teachings of Christ you are, sadly, living a life that in the end is meaningless.

Question 1. The old testament was a book of laws pretty much telling the Jews how to live their lives. There are also prophecies in the old testament. Some of these prophecies told of a messiah who would deliver them from the bondage of Rome and set up a kingdom where they would be the rulers. K? So, some time after these prophecies came Jesus. Jesus grows up, and while growing up learns some stuff in church, asks hard questions, and pretty much gives the religious leaders a hard time. When he's old enough to live alone he sets out and starts his ministry. This is where the answer to your question comes in. Jesus is god (add the holy ghost for trinity). So God came down to earth, put on flesh and started telling everyone the new law (his ministry) and that everyone can go to heaven through him.

Bookworm my respect for you grew when I saw these above comments. While I was away I was composing my replies in word. I tried paraphrased everything so If you want me to go in-depth with actual verses and such, just ask.

1. I knew what I was talking about and the example is just fine
2. Germans are not a race, but a nationality.

Because that's what your suppose to follow now.
Quick question. How much do you know about the bible on a scale of 0-10?
0= nothing
2.5= you know some of the stories and their meaning
5= you know about half of the stories and their meaning
7.5= you know most of the stories and their meaning
10= you know everything about every story; including the meaning, and all historical aspects
Keep in mind I'm not insinuating that I know more than you. I just want to know how much you know.

It's funny because that's what a lot of christians do. But not all.

I just read the verse (i believe its what your talking about). It said in summary "if you do not follow my covenant I will (list of things), and make it to where it takes a lot of work to make food and then when it's made it will given out in portions. If still, you do not follow the covenant, (list of things) I will make you eat your sons and daughters (list of other things that mostly deals with idols and alters).
This along with the killing women for pre-marital sex comes leviticus does it not? Leviticus has been fulfilled by Jesus and is now just a history book. How many more times I have to tell the people of funsabstance this I don't know. You don't look to leviticus for rules to follow in today's time, you look in the new testament.

I have read the bible. No I did not prove the guest's point. What I was talking about is that you don't go and look at a whole group and accuse them of being things or doing things that you perceive to be true. Like saying all Germans are hateful Nazis, is it true because of the Nazi reign during WW2? No, it's not. Make sure you know all of the people of a group before you judge the whole group.

hugging them makes you reeeeeally warm

Oh how wrong you are. You see, it was the landowners who used the bible to justify owning slaves because they wanted more money. Just because they say they are christian and are saying something from the bible does not mean that what they are saying is what it is and is justifieable. It is true that if you are enslaved that you should listen to your master, but that does not justify going around and enslaving people and then telling them that "Jesus said do what I say". Let me remind you of something that a lot of athiests like to forget. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT VOID OF HIPOCRACY, AND THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO USE IT TO GET WHAT THEY WANT.

What religion are you guys talking about?

Umm... They kinda' needed Kristoff didn't they?

OR! The... lawmakers? I guess, of the english language decided to remove all letters in a word that are silent. So... Aybraham Lincolne

That is Betty White. But this statement may have been said by Betty which would be the reason she is on there.

It took a while but I counted about... 100,000 lights.
