are their any former atheist/agnostic on here who reverted to christianity or a belief in god.
i became an atheist back in july and it was the most unfulfilling depressive period of my life.
i'm now starting to rebuild my relationship with god and i'm already starting to feel a lot better.
Some people return to nicotine, other drugs or alcohol after ' giving up ', probably because they cant fill the void in their life patterns that such things once satisfied
Could there be parallels with those who have become atheistic and find a void they cant satisfy and find comfort in their former life choices?
If so they are only returning to a false comfort as those people I have referred to.
In my humble opinion of course.
this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.
the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.
the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.
God is the daddy..
Jesus is the daddy.
The holy spirit is the daddy.
PS Do they all share the same Mammy.
i know this topic has been spoken about but i havent seen an official thead about it.
so theists why did god create these and why does he co tinue to allow them?
are they from the talking snake, satan?.
Sniff sniff, cough cough damn cold again oh no its in my chest I hope its not the flu sigh....thank you god I love your little viruses!!
this is a rumor i heard back in november, it comes to me third or fourth-hand.
feel free to poke holes.
i have many doubts about this myself.
The NEW LIGHT is getting soooooo bright its blinding,..HELP wheres, my ray bans before I cant see ANYTHING AT ALL !!!!!
it's obvious the bible is very clear on a actual hell of fire.
"cursed into the eternal fire with the devil and his angels", rev.20:15.
"lake of fire", rev.21:8 "fire and brimstone".
Where the hell is hell? If its a literal place I want to visit and like god , watch those miserable , wicked, contemptuous nasty , horrible aithiest sinners ...BURN . I wonder if god will let me wear ear defenders to lessen the audible screams of agony as they beg god to help and forgive them for not recognising what a loving god he really is HA HA I SAY LET THEM ROAST!!!
if after you die you find yourself in front a god ready to judge you.
what will you say in your defense for not believing?
.
Able;....As I've said before who said what jesus said? Those who are reputed to have known what jesus said in all probability got it at least 2nd or 3rd hand.
How can these reports be verified?throughout the copying of the bible with all its additions subtractions and omissions through the centuries , how could anyone say with an ounce of certainty that they know CORRECTLY and INDISPUTABLY what jesus said.
To base your convictions on such a non evidential premise is bordering on stupidity
To judge others on the same premise is foolishness and should be ignored by balanced reasoned individuals.
Best wishes.

Perry what honorable judge do you know of who would ALLOW evil if they hsd the power to stop it.
Gratification is satisfaction try the dictionary.
As I say NO wriggle room on that one.
If you allow evil havinf the power to stop it then the judgmental punishment you inflict can ONLY be for your gratification.
if after you die you find yourself in front a god ready to judge you.
what will you say in your defense for not believing?

Perry you contradict yourself. You claim god allows evil and there will be a judgement from god. If as predicted in scripture many will take the wrong path , if you believe these words are gods inspiration and he knows many will fail (willingly) he would HAVE to be gratified that his judgment of them was fulfilled by his punishment, otherwise what would be the point of his actions if not for gratification, in other words his satisfaction of his prophetic words coming to pass.
There is no wriggle room on that one.
And by the way has god appointed you to be his mouthpiece.
if after you die you find yourself in front a god ready to judge you.

Hi perry by your reasoning god must be like a father who allows his child to do something wicked for the gratification of punishing him.
You really must reconsider for your own wellbeing.
i use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.
as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.
i am happy to believe this.
Thanks for the reply Kate ..Ah yes intellectual intimidation many fall for it through fear , even a belief in god can be enticed in this way as history has shown
Always be wary of it.
As always best wishes
