Join me in reciting The Lord's Prayer: Let us bow our heads.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.----Matthew 6:9:13
Praise the Lord Almighty!!

The probability of all the life supporting factors occuring at the same time to support any form of life is
10 to the power of -99....
If you want to believe that, then good luck to you
Of course I would believe that. Any rational person with 1% of a brain would. If the process of creating planets and solar systems occurs 10 to the power of -9999999 times, the odds of at least ONE planet forming that can sustain life is almost 100%. When I get a number so close to 100% that it might as well be 100%, I accept it as true.

Obviously little Cindy wanted to be a prostitute ever since she could remember... ever since daddy started molesting her at age 4. But after running away ,Cindy is 13 now and choses not to be a prostitute. She prays and prays and she desires to become free of her pimp. She has a loving heart and has a very strong relationship with God. But nevertheless as we check in on Cindy six months later, she is still a prostitute and has picked up a nasty crack habit as well. Cindy is adamant that she doesn't want to person her body anymore, and she has done everything that God has asked. She has loved him, and talked to him at least twice a day.
Why is God being a prick and why is Cindy is still a prostitute?
Each individual person is in charge of what they do in this world......
I for not one minute assume this life is easy......This life is very very hard....That is where forgiveness comes into it......
I wasnt abused as a child and i would never know what it is like, but i assume if the abused person forgives there attacker, then i would assume they would go on and live a normal life.....
This may sound nuts to you and is extrodinarily more difficult to do than to say.....
God forgives you if you forgive the people who have sinned against you. God doesnt forgive you if you dont forgive others (ALOT EASIER SAID THAT DONE I KNOW) but thats the way it is.
I am sure if Cindy forgave her attacker, she wouldnt go down the path of prostitution....
As Jesus said, "it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than someone to enter the kingdon of heaven"......

Even if there is an initial creator (since Rostos refuses to accept the math, we will accept that for now), the evidence overwhelmingly points to the fact that god has no impact on the lives of humans, doesn't care about the lives of humans, and there is no purpose in life. You live to enjoy life, then you die. There is no afterlife (because then, what's the purpose of life if you can die and keep on existing). So, accepting for a moment that there was an initial creator, at most, he created the universe, set things in motion, and then said "peace..." and he hasn't been heard from since.

Are babies who die, and then go to heaven, babies If yes, do they grow up If they do, do people keep getting older or do they stop at a certain age Are people who die when they are 100, still 100 in Heaven That would suck Not sure I would even want to live for eternity...
Please tell me how I'm judging here. Asking questions is judging Or do you have a problem with the questions I'm asking because it makes your beliefs look silly
Still waiting for an answer rostos

tell me that there is a god im 55 i really hope theres something after death.
There is something after death...there is hell and there is Heaven, the choice is yours. Hopefully you pick the right path and not the path of the wicked.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.----Proverbs 3:5:6

Your lack of understanding of probability is astounding.
No, i am merely stating the absurdity of the probability....The probabilty is beyond human comprehension...
hey, if you want to believe that everything we see, hear, touch and observe is the result of an absolute fluke where the amount of zeroes (probability) is approximately 10 pages long, then fine, that is upto u....Good luck to u.......That is all i am saying,.,
Hey, i was just stating the probability of the life supporting factors coming about by chance......I havent even started the probability of life occuring on this planet by chance........

You know god wouldnt want you wasting endless hours on a sports gambling message board. You know Jesus wants you to sell all your stuff and help the disadvantaged. You know that you own a house, a car, food, and at least a computer with an internet connection - while half of the world has none of this.
But yet you ignore gods / jesus commandments and continue to waste time, energy, and resources in ungodly ventures.
There is only one conclusion. You dont really fully believe it. You just paritally do, and are covering your bases just in case. Because if you did believe it, you wouldnt be here right now at covers - you would be in Haiti, China, or Africa helping the disadvantaged - just as Jesus would have been.
Now, dont quote me a bible verse - try to actually respond to the above. Because you are not a good testament of Jesus. You are not a good representative of christianity. You are a hypocrite. Explain where I go wrong.
You mean to tell me that Gods plan for your life is to post on a gambling message board, have a car and a house, lots of food - whild Gods plan for a child in Africa is to be starving, raped, have his parents killed by disease or war and become an orphan, never receive education, and basically have no chance in life to have what you have?
Thats gods plan? It is pretty easy to say god has a plan for you when your life is good, how about the other half of the world that suffers every day of their life? You think its easy for them to say that my life sucks because it is gods plan? How narcississtic you have to be to be christian - its unreal.
Zack, the number one mandate in the bible is to grow Gods kingdom...to share the good news of God's love and grace. So there are those who God has placed in areas to do just that. Missionaries are a perfect example. How many unbelievers do you think spend time here on Covers? I would bet 95-97 %. So if God wants this percentage of people to hear of his love and grace, there has to be believers here to share that news. So to call someone a hypocrite for doing just that, is wrong. Then again, most of the bible bashers on this site have never tried to read or understand the book. I've read it three times, and i still learn something new everytime i open it. I am not here to change anyones beliefs, only God can do that. But for those who think living the life of a christian is so boring, or awful... your wrong.

Are babies who die, and then go to heaven, babies If yes, do they grow up If they do, do people keep getting older or do they stop at a certain age Are people who die when they are 100, still 100 in Heaven That would suck Not sure I would even want to live for eternity...
Your inquisitive confused mind are asking questions that none of us can answer, but one thing I can tell you to ease your inquisitive confused mind is:
The Kingdow of Heaven wil have no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. ----Revelation 21:4
Praise the Lord Almighty!!

Yes, but the questions I'm asking do make your ideas look rather absurd...
I know it just kills you that I use my mind, instead of just following like sheep...
And please give us some more mindless verses
