Yet another discussion of God. I know there are alot of them out there, but let's try and do something different here.
Purpose of this thread:
1. To discuss serious questions asked by people who really want to know "Why?".
2. For a better understanding of the Christian perspective.
3. Understanding the nature of Gods personality
This thread is not for the purpose of:
1. Proving God-seeProve God Exists
2. debating the bible-see Do you believe EVERYTHING is true in the Bible
3. Proving creationism as scientific-see The Official Perfection KOs Creationism Thread!
4. Political discussion. Questions about the legallity of abortion, death penalty, or any other thing that is already "legal". These have their own threads-seeAbortion and the Death Penalty
The Rules:
1. No swamping the thread with articles. If you feel an article would be appropriate you may post it, but please only one per response. Also do not just post some random article, please use it as a means to augment your arguement, not as your arguement.
2. All standard forum rules apply, especially the no flaming, trolling and spamming rules. While one may consider their opposition to be incorrect let's not assert that they are not intelligent.
3. The source for all truth, for a christian, is the bible. The bible will be quoted numerous times by myself, and...well you know the rest of them already I'm sure.
4. Show some discipline, and forgo your knee jerk reaction of an asinine statement.
5. To christians: please don't answer a question with "cause God says". Give them a reason for your beliefs. EDIT: What I mean here is that christians should use the bible as the reference and try to put it in context to the best of their ability. Don't just say "God is good!" or "Jesus saves!". Simplistic answers, which I have seen and/or even posted myself, were what I was trying to avoid. BTW, God is good and Jesus does save
.
6. If you have a comment or question that will spin this thread off topic, please just create your own thread.
I will leave the first comments for someone else, for the reason that this isn't a "Thou shalt believe what I do" thread. I have my own personal beliefs, which most of you know already......so ask away.
Thanks to perfection. I borrowed some of your rules
