Is Christianity In Trouble?

Brain, why are you so against Christianity? Why does it matter to you what I or anyone else believes? I understand why we care what you believe. As a Christian we have an obligation to share what we believe so the non believer will be saved. We don't want to see anyone condemned to eternal fire. We want all non Christians to know all about God so they can make that choice to be saved. If when they die they are condemned to eternity in hell that is because of their decision. At least they had the information and could have chosen differently.
Also there was a witness to the creation of the Earth. That witness would be God. He created the heavens and the Earth and He told the prophets what to write. How do I know this? Pure faith. Salvation is mine because I believe without seeing. The ones that do not believe now will believe after seeing. Unfortunately, that will be too late.
The last thing I want to comment on is about the remains of Jesus. We already established that we believe God took His Son to heaven after resurrecting from death. When He was resurrected He was in His body. Therefore there would not be any bones as your evidence that He existed.
Did you know that Jesus is not the only person taken to heaven in their bodily form? He also took Enoch. Matthew 11:15.
You are right. I am jealous of my God. I don't want Him blasphemed or ridiculed. He's already been through that. He deserves to be loved and respected. You may turn into a Christian in the end. Prayers do wonders!

That was a very nice post. I welcome you to the board and your faith seems very strong and that is a wonderful thing because I feel the same way.
God Bless

Thats right, Al, man IS more powerful! If you dont believe me, you should come on down to the "White Swallow" in Nachitoches, where I work as a waiter/dancer/gloryhole attendant. Aw, I know...youre straight, unlike me. Too bad! Those smoothly muscled, oiled bodies, gyrating on the stage...just leaves me weak in the knees.

Welcome to SBLive! always glad to hear from a new voice around here.
Yes, everyone here has been trying to help out ol' Brain, but to no avail.

This is just someones way of being a pain in the ass. His thoughts are sick so even if he is playing a game he is still a sick pup. Hey if you feel like it let the NRA out on him

Welcome to SBLive! You'll get use to Brain and his radical ideals. Just watch out for his dopplegangers! They can get a little wierd.

Chat live now with an alleged murder suspect who trolls the Internet for attention and sympathy. Is it so hard to understand why I do not believe in Christianity?

Oh my, please don't bring up that subject!

Brain, why are you so against Christianity?

I'm not more or less against Christianity than I am in the belief of any other imaginary beings. There just happen to be more Christians here than of any other faith. If someone was preaching the merits of Islam over here I'd treat them the same way

Why does it matter to you what I or anyone else believes?

It doesn't, until your religion starts affecting your actions. Like calling people Socialist because they support separation of church and state, or drowning witches.

I understand why we care what you believe. As a Christian we have an obligation to share what we believe so the non believer will be saved. We don't want to see anyone condemned to eternal fire. We want all non Christians to know all about God so they can make that choice to be saved. If when they die they are condemned to eternity in hell that is because of their decision. At least they had the information and could have chosen differently.

Salvation is mine because I believe without seeing. The ones that do not believe now will believe after seeing. Unfortunately, that will be too late.

Blah, blah, blah, pure faith. I agree, all you have is pure faith. THAT'S the premise of my whole argument.

The last thing I want to comment on is about the remains of Jesus. We already established that we believe God took His Son to heaven after resurrecting from death. When He was resurrected He was in His body. Therefore there would not be any bones as your evidence that He existed.
Did you know that Jesus is not the only person taken to heaven in their bodily form? He also took Enoch. Matthew 11:15.

Yes, I know of the Bible....how do you know it's not fake? We already know the story was penned by a mere mortal who "claimed" to be divinely inspired and we already know it is scientifically impossible to replicate this action.

You are right. I am jealous of my God. I don't want Him blasphemed or ridiculed. He's already been through that. He deserves to be loved and respected. You may turn into a Christian in the end. Prayers do wonders!

Another point I was trying to make earlier. Someone implying that calling you a zealot is "name calling" is like saying I'm calling a ham sandwich names simply by identifying it.

Or, the more likely scenario, I was out enjoying life and this beautiful weather instead of sitting in my basement playing on the computer and reading the Bible to myself.

You should try it sometime.....

I spent the morning on the river watching the sun come up and catching fish and watching a pair of bald eagles. I do not live in a cave but enjoy life each and every day. Heck buddy I just missed you that's all. I knew you would be back and it is just not the same with out your post. I am glad you got some time off and enjoyed yourself. Be looking for more of your post.

Oh one more thing. I read the Bible for you and it talked about you ! I prayed for you too. I am sure you will feel it one day just not time yet buddy.
