Like I said, you don't know the meaning of the word sacrifice. If Jesus stayed dead then our faith and hope is all for nothing. We among all people would be pitied the most. Raping children and killing people is not a joke. It's deadly serious. A crime that would put you away for many years. How can you say that is a joke?
I know what it is. Its defiantly not coming back from the dead. No your faith and hope would not be for nothing. He still took your sin and died on the cross for you. Here you are again taking me out of context except its to make me look like I'm a terrible person. It doesn't surprise me a bit coming from a creationist. I take back what I said about you being a decent human being.

Sin is serving yourself instead of God. Sin is putting yourself in the position of God as ruler over your life. You do what you want and nobody controls you. You seek treasures and riches for this world and seek human praise. You belong to this world. That is sin.
Me, not being a part of this world see the bigger picture. Jesus saved me and I'm going to Heaven as the bottom line. That is what I think about at the end of this normal and casual conversations we're having. I'm still saved no matter what.
I'm sorry I'm no God. Yes I can choose what path I take during my life. Actually yes the law makers/ government controls what I can do and shall not do. How do you know I seek treasures and riches? I could careless about human praise. At best here you are grabbing for the straws.
Yes I belong to the world because I was born in it. I'm sorry? I guess your God screwed up big time there.

Selfish gain when I die? I store up treasures in Heaven where thieves do not break in and steal and dust and moths do not destroy them.
Again yes this is a selfish gain and immoral at that. You believe you deserve some kind of reward for just believing in your God. Do you not understand?

Well I guess you may be right in that sense. Logically though, why would a God need a human to sacrifice in order to feed God? Is God like a baby that humans need to feed them? That's what the other religions do. I adamantly believe that the LORD God almighty is correct because I apply my logic here. What is a concept of a God?
God is almighty and all knowing. There would be no need for a god of thunder, fire, water, ice etc. God almighty would be in control of all those things. How could a primitive human being earn anything or offer anything to God who created the Universe? I'm using human logic to compare God almighty with the other gods.
Other people with their religion, they worship and serve their god because they have to, I serve God almighty because I want to. The other people do not seem to get that one bit. I know some Catholic people who see their religion as a burden, they are stressed out that they need to do good works to earn salvation yet they know they'll get punished for a little while. Shouldn't religion make you happy? For most other people it sure doesn't, it is a burden to them. Not to me. My Christian faith is not a burden but a blessing. At least that's what I've noticed.
I'm just going to pretend you didn't type "why would a God need a human to sacrifice in order to feed God? Is God like a baby that humans need to feed them? That's what the other religions do.". So what? That is how the people saw them. Just because you believe your God can do those doesn't mean he is the true one.
LOL. That is a very bold claim there. Obviously you don't get around much. I'm pretty damn sure the other folks in there own religions enjoy it as much as you enjoy yours.Quote
I do not compute what you're saying here due to that grammatical error. Please reconfigure.
Nice deflect. I feel bad for those who are suffering from it. Is it great the grand designer made it where people are born blind?

Read it again and tell me.
"As for what was before the Universe...Genesis 1: 2 "Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."
There was no water before the Universe. Again so the Earth was being made before the Universe?

Obviously I have because I predicted your reaction and I was correct. You don't believe unless you are given proof yet when you are given proof right in front of you, then you deny it. Even doubting Thomas believed when he put his finger in Jesus's side. When the evidence is there and yet you refute it, you're not going to get anything new. Take it or leave it.
You said before hand there is no proof of the existence or none existence of your deity. "We cannot prove nor disprove God, we walk by faith and not by sight."
So which is it? Faith is NOT evidence no matter how much of it you have for your deity.
There might of been a man name Jesus that got himself killed by the Romans but that doesn't mean your God is the correct one nor exists.

You say that many testimonies aren't proof, I beg the differ. If you hear an extraordinary story, you go out and ask many other people about it and they will all tell you the same thing except their perspective on the story.
If I hear a extraordinary story you bet your jimmies you better have some extraordinary evidence to back up that story.
Quote
You also know that the testimonies are true because everybody gives their version of the events that happened. You know if the testimony is false because if everybody tells you THE EXACT SAME story then you'll know it is a lie. If one person wants 500 people to tell a story, you will get 500 stories being exactly the same. If a story happens and 500 people witness it, you'll get 500 stories with a different perspective about it. That is when you know the stories are true and whatnot.
So the different religions in the world have different testimonies about their God/Gods. Wouldn't that make them more true than what credit you give them by that logic?

It was an act of worship and the animal sacrifice was the substitutionary atonement for people's sins.
Is it ridiculous that God loves His creation?
It's ridiculous to claim you love them when you DEMAND their love.
That is not love.
It's ridiculous just to claim one nation as "your people". What about the others that are ignorant of your message? So much for the other people you have created
That is not love
