Come to Christ who died for yours sins. He is alive awaiting those who come to him in repentance! Therefore repent and come to Christ and be forgiven of all the evil and sin you've committed!

Sorry Tylr, thought this is the religious discussion as well. How ya doin tonight though

you've been outbid, by science.

Interesting thought...in the eyes of people science may "outbid" religion, but what is it bidding with? Paper? Gold? You see the value that is in your hands is determined by a mass of people ocming together and deciding a price. a 10,000,000 dollar note doesn't mean anything if the country itself has collapsed. Gold has no value without someone calling it valuable. Christianity is special in a sense because value isn't placed by people but by a god who's value doesn't change. Ergo it might look like science has outbid Christianity, but 10,000 years down the road...which will have the value?

Yea, Christians are also concerned not with the things of the world or the material, but with their love for God and his people

science.. lol

Science just explains the world we live in so I dont see why you're using a monetary analogy.

Oh come on! Really? do you believe that crap? Look at every major christian denomination and the number 1 thing that fuels it is money, look at the houses and cars of the Jim Bakers, and Oral Roberts,
when I would go in for my yearly meeting with my ds. the first thing he would check would be if my church was paying it's apportionments that is how the district measures success of it's churches.

Religion is a business

years from now they will marvel at how far we could come in medicine and science, yet have so much of the population still believe in a fairy tale, and let that fairy tale be the root of so much blood shed, hate, and discrimination

Actually my church has 50+ branches across the world. Everyone in the church gets paid the exact same according to the average income of the area they live in plus a few hundred extra each year for each kid they have. My pastor heads an international movement that easily exceeds 50,000 and yet makes 27,000 a year. So no...not all churches are rip offs.
