Do you believe in God? Simple question

[bodhi]

well ok, the bible says that we have ALL fallen short of the glory of God and ALL have sinned. Jesus lived a perfect life, a life without giving into any temptation, He was the Lord of lords and the King of kings. He was rich yet became poor. He suffered and was beaten and broken for all to take their sins upon Him. His blood shed was the sacrifice for us for all eternity, He loved us ( His creation ) all so much that He died to make a way for us to heaven and to have a personal relationship with Him. if you ever get a chance to study His story you will see that the nails, the whipping, beatings, the spear to His ribs, none of that bothered Him. it was only when He drank the cup of all our sins, sickness, death, ect... that He said if it was at all possible, to take the cup from Him.

So, because it says all this in the bible--a book, then it must be true, right? Yeah, riiiight.
Geoff, please stop.

baby j and the others on here, we can argue forever about the origins of life and there will always be supporters of God and non supporters. one truth does remain tho. one day ALL of us will face death. what lies beyond that NO ONE knows. its all based on speculation or faith. science can give some insight to where we came from but not where we are going. do you really want to take the chance of facing an afterlife of torment and without peace? a relationship with God does not call for much. it is a life of peace, self sacrifice, helping others, living a morally sound life, and a faith based relationship with your Creator. if you seek after Jesus you will find Him. until you give God a chance you will never truly know what it means to be called His.

My life is peaceful, and I help others when I can. Your point?
If my soul still gets damned to be in hell for ever and ever and ever and ever... haha, then so be it. Though, I am pretty sure that nothing will happen.
Wait, I take that back... something will happen... my body will decompose.

Are you done yet? Because although you say that we can "argue" forever, the truth is that we can't. At least, you can't. babyj, me, and many others can keep the facts coming (ex. http://importatlanta.com/forums/show...&postcount=498) you, gave us opinions and nothing more...

you gave it one hell of a shot though, and for that I give you props lol

LOL.

Christians engage in Bible study, not the study of the Bible. Why is that? Because they assume it to be true - with that said, there there is never a reason to review beyond that. Shouldn’t they be willing, and even HAPPY to do this... surely it will only prove that they are correct right?? LOL. This is supposed to be an absolute.... unfallable. Christians I would imagine would RUSH to obtain knowledge about how Christianity sprang into being. It should only validate the belief if they are correct.

Too bad they are not -
