Explain Thyself!

I got it on a blog from Shoutwire. I don't think any Christian can answer those properly.

 

I could, however, why would I explain myself to you? Besides, you cannot expect me to fill all of those out?...I can explain the one I saw while scrolling to the end, why God allowed Job to be TESTED not punished, was because Satan told God, "The only reason he is so faithful is because of all you've given him." So God allowed Satan to do what he wished to Job, with the exception of taking his life.

 

god I couldn't even scroll through all that.

This is unneeded though, it's fine if you don't agree with them, but respect their views and leave them be.

anyway its their religion, they don;t have to explain it, its called faith.

I'm athiest btw

 

Thanks, Argon. I don't mind explaining myself, but sheesh...no one should have to answer to all that. Like Argon said, faith. Either way, I could explain probally most of those, but like I said, no thanks.

 

Hey, its not impossible right?

 

I forsee a flame fest starting in this topic.

I like that post, it makes alot of good points.

Dr. Agon alot of the Christian faith hasn't respected other religions and beliefs through time, so why not ask these questions.

Rebelyell if you were truley a servant of God and the Christian faith, you would take the time out of your ever so important life to answer these questions and foil the non-believers, or at least answer some of them that are pretty damn tough to answer.

 

I foresee no-one bothering to read it.

 

I see lazy Christians. Remember Sloth is one of the "sins".

 

I'm not Christian. And I hate religion.

 

I could answer to all of that, but why bother? It's way to long, and it's not like anybody would actually respect it. They would just be like "No U R wrong!" or "Well how do you explain how God was made?" It's one insane argument after another, it's not like people that ask those questions would remotely consider them as truth.

 

You are an idiot if you don't goto church and believe in god. Think about it, what if he ACTUALLY DOES exist out of all probability. If you didn't believe in him your going to hell for eternal suffering. What is 1-2 hours out of your week to goto church. Not saying I am a 100% believer but if he does exist I will be one his good side

 

I could call you an idiot for believing in something that has never been proven, though a lot of stuff in the Bible is theoretically impossible, but I wont, because even though I do not believe in God I respect other's decisions to do so. And since I do not believe in him, I also do not believe in Hell, and therefore I cannot be sent there.

 

Holy crap those are alot of flaws to point out. I'm Catholic btw. I'll try to answer these as best as I can, so atleast give me some credit for actually trying...

1) Because Jesus was God in flesh. The sacrafice of Jesus was enough to clense the sins and undo the offense to God.
2) Yes. But when Jesus died the Bible stated he desended to hell to recieve the just people who were sent there.
3) Every religion has had crooked leaders and has done things immoral. Doesn't mean that we are all like that.
4) Same thing a 3.
5) Pretty much the same thing I said for 3.
6) If you don't want to believe in God, don't. No ones trying to convince you.
7) I read it and I don't think that means he is rasist. He just said he wanted to help the jews before anyone else. I don't know.
8) To understand thease verses, you must understand the situation in which Paul and Timothy worked. In first century Jewish culture, women were not allowed to study. When Paul said women should learn "quiet and submissivley, he was offering them a new opportunity. Paul didn't want Ephesian women to teach because they did not yet have enough knowledge or experience at the time. The Ephesian church had a problem with false teachers. Evidentally, women were especially suseptible to false teachings because they did not yet have enough biblical knowledge to discern the truth.
9) Many Christians at the time were slaves. This passage claims it would easy to submit to masters who were kind. But Peter encouraged loyalty in the face of unjust treatment. The idea was that doing what you are told weather to fair or unjust masters could win them to Christ.
10) Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "This will keep the people of the land from teaching you their detestable customs in the worship of their gods, which would cause you to sin deeply against the Lord your God. 'When you are besieging a town and the war drags on, do not destroy the trees. Eat the fruit, but do not cut down the trees.They are not enemies that need to be attacked! But you may cut down trees that you know are not valuble to food. Use them to make equipment you need to besiege the town until it falls.'"

I don't see anything in there that refers to doing what your parents tell you, even though they are evil.

Proverbs 13:24 "Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave"

I still don't see anything that refers to parents.

Hebrews 12:7-8 "As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Whoever heard of a child who was not disciplined? If God doesn't discipline you as he does all of his children, it means you are illigitimate and not really his children after all."

Hebrews is asking what is worse, to let a child do what will harm him, or to discipline the child to help him do what is right.

 

This thread delivers (a lot).
