sometimes we find a place and it feels like home, it is accepting and understanding.. then, sometimes, that place becomes cold and inhospitible.. when i first joined here i felt i have found a good place.. people like narkissos, leolaia and others impressed me with their knowledge of scripture and motivated me to learn more for myself.. others touched me with the stories of their pan and hurt, pain and hurt that i was feeling also.. i don't think i ever offended anyone with my views on christianity and if i have i sincerly apologise for that was not my intent.. but things change and sometimes home isn't home anymore.... this site had been invalable to me for my understanding what is wrong with the jw's relgion and the wt, it has strengthened my faith and belief.. here i found people of religon, faith and love.. here i found agnostics and athiest that challenged my views and made me question, they made me a believe via reason and not "blind faith".. for that, i thank all of you, especially the "jeff's" ( ak and alltime), i also say a special thanks to leavingthewt, many of his posts made me feel welcomed and made me think and be a better person.. chalam, bts, dd and so many others, i thank you from my heart for your kind words over these many months.. people like mary and sylvia and so many others filled my heart with love with their stories.. all the best to you my dear brothers and sisters.. .

A Christian Defending or Discussing thier faith..

Discussion is fine. Faith cannot be defended without entering into personal debate (tastebuds).

Example: "This is why I believe that Christ died for our sins."

is much different than

"Christ died for our sins and we must be forgiven, here's why and here's how to sign up"

I have read only a few of PS's but they seemed to lean toward the second exmaple. Which is why I call him an Apologist.

The way I see it is to be a Christian is to accept the Bible, and to accept the Bible is to defend the Bibles holes because they are many. Most Christians are Apologists, it is VERY hard to find someone who stands by their faith as absolute in their own heart.

@Outlaw

Christians can be good people, just like everyone else can, it's when a Christian feels the need to defend their faith is where I draw my line.

Faith is personal, arguing faith is like arguing taste bud differences, it's futile and there is no right or wrong answer.

That's one reason why a mouse is clickable.

Not all posts on this board a original topics. Some have this "weird" way of showing up in the middle of a thread.

Look, I don't mean to be a jacka**, I just have little tolerence for any kind of Christian Apologists. It's one thing to have a strong faith and I admire that, but it is another to try to defend that faith.

Faith is a belief inside and out, and by definition requires NO argument of defense of any kind.

I in NO WAY condone personal attack, like saying you don't love your family or some of the other things that PS has been accused of.

One less Christian apologist to listen to is always a good thing.

qw'vw bwwn brainwashed yo believed thrt 1914 was the year satan was kick out of the heaven having freat anger.

my theory is the year was 1939. he came down with great anger and he like on the past went after the jew (that's another story which i will get into later).

for now, i ask you to look at 1939. jesus spole of of theiir being wars, earthqakes, and food shortages and pestialience.

Religious Christendom's Massive Blood-Guilt!

"{isaiah 57:20 niv}.

it was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.

For the benefit of those who make claim to being either Athiest or Agnostic, whether they no it or not, thay are as much a part of BABYLON THE GREAT as anyone else, in that satan is the one who has caused these ones to form the opinions they have.

But he's so damn convincing!

Just ONE FACT, that's all I ask, JUST ONE.....

by Terry in

what is a fact?

a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened.

i've read the bible many times in many ways with many methods.. .

sabastious

If I were God I know JUST the place I would have put in my supernatural knowledge...

The story of Joshua and the battle where God stops the sun to give them more time to kill people.

Instead of saying I stopped the SUN (which we all know doesn't move, but the writer of the book apparently didn't) I would have written what I ACTUALLY DID, which was stopped the EARTH.

Simple way to prove that God was actually the author of the Bible... sucks he passed that GOLDEN oppurtunity up.
