And then Christian missionaries would still come and tell me THE TRUTH of the Cross, whereby I would have my own choice to make.

Granted, I am lucky that my choice doesn't hurt my family or alienate me from my culture which is what makes it easier for me than my brethren in India and China.

But that doesn't make the truth any less true.

In case you don't know let me blow your mind. There are so many circumstances that are beyond our control. Decade we were born, season, family and geographical location we were born and death etc.

You call it lucky but what about those that hardly will Christian missionaries get to their reach (countries/nation), or what should happen to those that cannot make their own choices by them selves not to talk about their family and cultural ideology that is against those willing to accept the "TRUTH"

The truth is that the same way you are feeling lucky about the choices you made is the same way they feel pity for you for you have made wrong choice.

But the problem now is that "What is the TRUTH?"

Professorcplus:
Before I give mine view on this thread. Let me first clarify out some sentiments.



In as much as I don't want to criticize and avoid being hypocritical I will utmost tell you that you are guilty of all of these. That a fact you might not know but I will never use it against you!

Your conscience is already pricked by what I wrote . "Conscience is an open wound, only truth can heal it".......

The truth is a lie.

Read on the origin of Christianity.

Even the Qur'an is more authentic and untampered than the PROTESTANT bible.

One intelligent moniker made a very beautiful point on here a few days ago, and that is this:

Authenticity is not the point; validity is.

It doesn't matter who "tampered" with what, as far as the truth outs in the end. This is the validity of the message of the Cross, no matter how much has been chopped and changed. The point is that Christ Jesus died to save us from punishment for sin, which is total and eternal death.

Being "authentic" doesn't matter. You can be "authentic" for thousands of years with the same preserved, "untampered with" wrong message.

The Qur'an may be the same as it was when it was "revealed" in the 7th century CE, but that doesn't change the fact that it is totally WRONG.

Christian missionaries or colonizers?

Everybody with their own truth.

Christianity comes from Judaism, you know?


READ ABOUT THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF CHRISTIANITY.

BRAINWASHED.

There is only one truth; that is the truth of the Cross and the perfect sacrifice of Christ Jesus.

This is the only way one can stand, fully justified, in the presence of God.

Christianity came from Judaism and Judaism was established in the first place as a metaphor for the fact that HUMAN ENDEAVOUR ALONE CAN NEVER BE SUFFICIENT in maintaining a relationship with the Almighty God. You must always fail someway, somewhere, somehow and end up back at square one.

This is why we need an intercessor or a mediator to remove the shame and stench of our sin so that we will be able to enter into His perfect presence.

You don't get it! You don't get it.

What is the number one problem of the human condition?

Why do we need to get to those remote communities that don't yet know Christ? What are they missing and lacking? What are they yearning for?

Blakewilli:
Loss of faith in God is a walk into bleakness and uncertainty . At first, a victim might feel like a burden has been lifted off him/her but sooner, will discover that the contrary is the case.Certain thoughts or actions can hint to when one is losing faith in God.

-Accusing God for one's sins committed or for whatever little things that go wrong in one's life

-Frequently raising arguments as to the authenticity of the Bible and the accounts within
-Blaspheming jokingly
-Increasing doubts
-Engaging freely in immoralities[/size]
Some Causes of loss of faith in God can be; Certain underlying beliefs, loss of something of high value to one and environmental Temptations_On several occasions, i've wished I could withdraw into a Wilderness and live out the rest of my life, worshipping the Lord in Truth due to this third cause(E make sense?).

Some Churches also contribute to the loss of faith in God . You tend to get discouraged to serve God when you discover that someone whom you've been looking up to commits atrocious acts in secret and this is the case when fake pastors are exposed. The shock tends to slacken most members' faith in God. Also, some Churches overly expect Christians to be strictly perfect and follow their doctrines accurately without laying down the necessary principles and the result of this is that Hypocrites will be bred there.

[Size=12] In order not to loose your faith in God,Follow these precautionary steps:
-once in a while, look back at big miracles/impossible situations God saved you from
-Inculcate a Bible reading attitude, for the spirit arms itself with this
-when in fear of faith loss,try sharing your feelings with a trustworthy mature friend who can guide you properly.
-Also understand that God understands us more than we think he does.Pray earnestly for divine Faith in him when in fear, and he will surely aid you [/size].

In case you've a friend who exhibits most of these signs, calmly advice him/her with the voice of a friend and not that of a judge o.
Alright brethren,HAPPY SUNDAY

Newnas:
I thought the cross is enough na. I thought your son of god has died on the cross for your sins and you're covered with grace, so why do you need repentance again?

Christianity and self-contradiction are 5&6. Yet they'll be following people upandan: "Bros please I want to explain chisos to you". When you engage them in simple intellectual discussion the next thing you'll hear is; "you can't understand, you need grace and the spirit of god before you can understand".

Hey, why the freakin EFF did you call me to "explain" what is unexplainable?!

Una need brain reset

I loose faith when Christians argue doctrinal issues.
I loose faith when Christians argue about Christ birth and dead
I loose faith when Christians exposes their church secret to the public whereas other religion rarely do. They sit to discus and resolve it. Since I join this forum and viewed comments from supposed Christians, I have changed my mind to become an atheist

your decision can't crucify Christ NO8 faithless man

It's good to ask questions but I notice that most of the people writing this type of comment focus on the wrong thing and end up missing the point.

You will see now they will mention me with one random quote from Judges or Deuteronomy which is totally irrelevant to the main issue

There is no cause that has killed people more than Christianity not even Islam.

We should care less about the history? If not of that history there will be no Christianity today
Should we talk about what crusades really means?
Or the real name of Jesus? All are in history.

You need to read the early development of Christianity.

If you were born in Iran, you will probably be a Muslim.
Don't be dogmatic.

The church came before the Bible, hope you know ?
