I can live with you being a non believer but I won't give you a medal for it. Why did you feel the need to post this here anyway?

If I thought atheists were "evil" or "demons," I'd have a real problem with two of my three staff members at CFoT. Obviously, because we are such good friends, I don't think that...unless you think I fall into those labels as well.
However, I do believe that, unless they change their beliefs, I'll never see them after I die. We like to say that we'll miss our friends if they aren't in Heaven, but, honestly, no one knows for sure. It's quite possible that the love we feel for/from God will simply overwhelm our senses.
Are all atheists "evil" or "demons?" No. Are all Christians "good" or "angels?" No. A person is defined by their choices, and if you choose to be evil (whether atheist or Chirstian) then you are. Personally, I always try to be choose to be "good."

What Saigan is trying to say is, everyone has their own beliefs( i am not siding with anyone) But some people believe in different gods, and some people believe in no gods. People believe what that want to. How do we really know that god wasn't just a normal person who preached his heart out just to teach people good things. ( i am not trying to be offensive just so you all know) How do we know that when they placed jesus's body in the tomb that maybe a bear or something somehow got in there without moving the large boulder infront of the entrance but got in another way and just dragged his body away. There are many sides to one story. And some are logical, and some are not. My religion is christian and sometimes i do and do not believe in god in certain situations, christianity was forced upon me by my grandmother, so i sometimes do not consider myself a christian, i wear a crucifix all the time, and sometimes consider my true religion. But for one i do have my own made up religion, and my own gods. And i treat it as though you all would as true christians, i believe i failed god, i believe i am forever exiled from him, for what i have done to myself. Like i said iw asn't trying to be offensive, and i rest my story on myself and how i believed i failed him, if you wish to further more know just message me.

LOL I like your bear theory but there is still the fact that Jesus was seen walking around and talking after He was placed into the tomb.
Honey the thing about beliefs is that they grow and change almost daily as long as we live. Some days it is easier to believe in something or someone than other days. For the longest time, I believed that my pc was going to kill me in my sleep but I know better now and no longer believe that although there are those days when doubt makes me wonder why I stopped believing it. Some days I believe that Bill Gates is the Anti Christ and if I look out my window right now, I will swear that the sky is black but in 12 hours I will swear that it is another color because that is what I believe at that time.
So Saigan doesn't believe in God. That doesn't mean that he/she never will. Just right this moment in time Saigan doesn't. Doesn't mean that he/she won't believe tomorrow, next week, or next year. We who do believe will pray that the day comes quickly that Saigan becomes a believer.
Personally I believe that God is very much real and alive and should I be proven wrong one day, well, I still tried to live a life that would not harm others and would encourage others to emulate those same qualities. I had parents who were in satanic worship and what I saw there made me know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is real.

Well the founder of this board: Shanny is a christian and M@ (another admin) is also christian. Im a christian and so's quite a few people on this board. So it was a choice of the founder as it would be no use having a christian founder hosting a another religion board? dont ya think? its mi opinionso thepushing of the religion is dueot thefact that it is based on Christianaty. This is not to deter non-beliversan/o other religions as everyone is welcome. (my keyboard is broken  so please bear ith me) |

Christianity IS the main religion topic here and for very good reason. This is a Christian graphics board. But there are or have been other religions discussed here as well. Personally I am wondering why you have an offensive user name like "pimps" on what you know is a Christian board. Is your user name designed to push our buttons? There are children who post here. |

HOLY HANNA!! This is a Christian Site!? NOW you tell me! I'm on a Harry Morgan kick, and just needed an excuse to use that expression. Lol! I have really been Blessed reading many of the posts in here...I wanted to comment on that I am so Blessed to say today I stand saved today because someone cared enough to pray for me when I was a lost angry depressed preteen girl. God never forgot that prayer...even though the fruit of that Prayer was not materialized for at least 12 years later. Praise God for those who are Faithful Stewards of The Gospel of Jesus Christ...for those who are not ashamed to speak the Truth. Not every Religion and or man made Traditions are of God. Galatians 1:8 & 9 specifically tells us that those who preach any other Gospel whether it be an angel supposedly from Heaven or a man from Earth....is accursed. As also 1John verses 10 & 11 also tells us not to even receive them into our houses with their false Doctrine and not to even wish them God-speed...<---which means not to Bless them because if we do we are considered partakers of their evil deeds. I see so many Religions who are now wrapping their arms around many of these so called false cults as if they are our Christian Brothers......and this is not what we are suppose to be doing....yes we are to love them...In Jesus but not fellowship with them as if they are right ....Scriptures say"Have "NO" fellowship with the Un-fruitful works of darkness, but rather "Reprove" them.....It also says we shall know them by their fruits...... And (2 Timothy 3:5 ) says about some...having a form of Godliness, but denying the Power there-of: from such turn away....And one more Scripture says if they speak not according to The Word, it is because there is "NO" light in them. Anyways I do not claim any Denomination....for I do truly believe as Scripture tells us that The Church of God is all who have received Jesus Christ as their Lord by Faith , who have their Names now "Written" In The Lambs Book of Life.... and that the Church of God is made up of many Nations , Kindreds, Peoples, and Tongues as written about the Multitude in Heaven which can not be numbered who stood around God's Throne and before The Lamb, clothed in White. I guess if anyone really wanted to know what some of my Beliefs now stem from, I guess one could say sort of Charismatic ...though that does not mean I totally agree with all their Traditions or Dogma. I do Know that I now serve The Living God not the false god or dead god that i use to believe I served as a child in the home of my parents and that Jesus Christ truly died for all who would receive Him.....as their Lord....I Praise God Almighty "My "Abba" Heavenly Father above.....who brought me out of the land of the spiritually dead....and made me His own....Who made me an Heir and or Joint -Heir with Jesus Christ as it is written......to things that eyes hath not seen , nor ears heard, nor has entered into The hearts of man what God has prepared for those who love Him. I have a Mansion above that Earthly Homes can not even begin to compare to.....but mostly I am Honored that I have been invited too The Wedding Feast of The Lamb of God....My bags are packed and my ticket is already Reserved.....watching and waiting and Praying that I might be found worthy of that Precious escape....as Luke 21 : 36 --says.....I am so glad that I have Jesus Christ is my High Priest.....who constantly goes to The Father for me.....Please Do not forget that you may be the only Bible some may ever see...God's Word says we are a Book written and read of men.......that is why we are to put our candles on a candle stick and not under a Bushel......so that all may see the Light....thru us.....If our Gospel is hid, it is hid unto those who are lost....and if we are ashamed then Christ will also be ashamed of us .....How horrible and frightening it will be for those who say they are Christians-( Lip service Christians) when they stand before The Lord saying "Well "Lord, Lord", have we not Prophesied in Thy Name, and In Thy Name have cast out devils, and in Thy Name , done "Many" Wonderful works...Only to hear Him profess unto them: I Never Knew You: depart from ME ye that work Iniquity. Let us labor and run the race that we may obtain the Reward /or Prize.....so That we may hear our Lord say those Blessed Words....Well Done thou good and Faithful Servant.... "Enter thou into The Joy of The Lord"....To that I say " HALLELUJAH"!!!! I want to bow before My Lord Jesus and kiss His Precious feet and Hands where my sins pierced Him....Then who knows maybe as the song goes I can only Imagine...I might Dance before Him as a little child who is so excited .....or Fall down before Him in Awe of His Glory.....What pure Utter Joy there will be in Heaven.....when our Journey here is over and we are gathered around The Fathers Throne.....Then we can say " Death where is thy sting and Grave where is Thy Victory? For God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes......and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. for the former things are passed away.... In Closing I offer this Hebrew Blessing...." L' Shanah Tova U' Metukah" Interpreted as : " May Your Name Be Inscribed In The Book of Life". In Christ's Love Always.... Sincerely, God's Child |
