Moderator Margee Posted December 4, 2011 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2011 Meanwhile, I want to devote more time to personal study of the Bible and prayer time. I am going thru some recent translations of the Bible - esp. one called NET Bible. I am taking a long time reading and studying the Book of Galatians. I am praying that I can hear God's voice better. you need to change religions, not churches..........hinduism is the true religion!! Hinduism: Since Sanskrit is the oldest written language, as far as religion being written down, and as far as organized religion is concerned, it would be Hinduism. It is said that when Rama appeared, according to our calendar, was a million or so years ago (not sure of the exact date, but it's a long time!) And Krishna, God himself according to the Vedic scriptures, appeared here 5,000 years ago. Buddha, about 500 B.C., Jesus, about 2,000 years ago. If you go through the different religious book and study this question deeply, you will find out that Hinduism is the oldest religion of the world. There are no dates and facts, but its history is about more than 50000 thousands years ago Read more: http://wiki.answers....d#ixzz1faavzsIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayL Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hinduism does have some strong ideas. But it also institutionalized the Caste system and treats Dhalits (untouchables) as subhumans - certainly worse than cows! I say, there is something wrong with Hinduism.

JayL Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 In what way(s) do you believe God will communicate with you? I have heard God's voice a few times in my life and they were life changing. I am hoping to get to the point where I hear God's voice much more often. I want to get in tune with God's direction. BTW I believe this is not easy to do. And most people who claim to hear from God deserves a good deal of skepticism!! It is just a personal goal. I am not sure how far I would get.

hereticzero Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Wow a True Christian with the True Gospel! I ain't never seen none y'all before. Well shucks, you should have all the answers handy if you'se really gots that holy spirit! True or false, the law of sacrifice for attonement of sins was given to Moses by god?

hereticzero Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Christianity did not push to abolish slavery. Acceptance was taught throughout the states. Black people were not as welcomed into white homes no matter where a person lived or what the beliefs. Christians also helped murder Indians and rape their wives and daughters. Christians encourage hatred for other humans, not acceptance or equal rights. If they do not do the yelling and screaming, they send love offerings to those who do.

hereticzero Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 In the early colonial days, with few exceptions only Quakers opposed slavery and the good Christians of the colonies pass an ordinance to kill any Quaker found in the colonies. In fact, two Quaker men and one Quaker woman were hanged by the godly Puritans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overcame Faith Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The point I made the last time here goes something like this: People go in and out of churches and they also go up and down with their faith. And that is Ok. I was in and out of faith a few times myself. But still the Bible and the faith brought me back ( about 15 years ago) Hallelujah!! My recommendation for skeptics and atheists is to keep searching and to keep an open mind. You may yet find the true God - the God who embodies Love. And you will be so glad on that day!!! God bless you. Then turnabout is fair play. Keep searching and keep an open mind. You may yet find that the true god - the god who embodies love - is most certainly not the one described in the bible (if he/it exists at all).

agnosticator Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 But I do have to thank the website operator for allowing Christians to post. Now why is it that Ex-Cer's throw out the red carpet for christians here, while christian forums pull the rug out from under anyone who dares to post something different than the party line? I hope I can point them back to Christ. Don't hold your breath... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say it was abolished by atheists? You have poor reading comprehension. I am not a dude, either, I am a lady. Christian societies permitted slavery for centuries. That some group of them suddenly started opposing it doesn't mean much. It certainly does not establish the truth of Christianity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
