Please do not detract.Quote I know the truth because I have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and through the many personal experiences that I have gone through with my God since…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Jan. 01 2010,18:21)Hi KeJohn:The only sign that I can give is my testimony and the evidence of the truth through the life that I live in obedience to His Word.If my life doesn't reflect what I am preaching, then I am a hypocrite.  I know what I was and the man I have become and am becoming since my conversion experience as God, my…[Read more]

As a good starting point, please show me why your god is the only true god while the gods of Asatru are false.

Quote (seekingtruth @ Jan. 01 2010,16:17)kejonn,Let me first ask, do you believe there to be only one truth, or do you believe there to be many “truths”?Truth is truth. There are many truths, but in this realm, no one seems to be able to provide any. They simply show belief and call it “truth”.But there cannot be more than one truth when someone…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ Jan. 01 2010,13:05)Hi KeJohn:You can believe whatever you will, but my God answers me when I pray to Him.  Other so called gods are simply non-living idol gods.Elijah had a little fun with the prophets of Baal in demonstrating this:Love in Christ,MartyIts not what I believe, but what others believe. All I am asking is for theists…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Jan. 01 2010,11:35)Hi Kejonn,There are no “gods” There is only God.Different cultures express their knowledge of God in different ways and languages but it is all the same GOD(Creator)Not so. I used to lurk on belief.net and many pagans and heathen believe in more than one god. Some even stated that they had encountered the…[Read more]

Is this going to be a serious thread, because I actually LOLed when I read the OP.

How confusing. Why are the “Believers” threads finding their way in the “Skeptics” section? You all voted to have Muslims included as “Believers”….

Quote (Douglas @ Dec. 05 2009,11:50)Did he ask it here, or did someone esle move it here?Hmm, likely that upon reflection.

Hey bodi, why are you asking this question in the “Skeptics” section? Many of us have a hard time believing Jesus actually existed! Or maybe you did it because you are “skeptical” of the story?In any case, taking the story at face value, one must wonder why Jesus said “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”. Not the words of someone who…[Read more]

Keith,Why do these personal relationships lead people to have different views of the same god? I know this can be he case with real human relationships to an extent, but it is greatly exaggerated with gods. I mean, you see God as a triune entity while t8 does not. That's a major difference. Why is it that you guys both seem to have a relationship…[Read more]
