Hey guys, im not ganna be here screaming at yall to give yall's hearts to christ....like some WACKOS do....*cough*
But i'll open this thread if yall have any questions or want to debate the topic of my religion; Christianity...
...Which is based on the Holy Trinity, the three-part embodiment of one being that we call God, which is seperated into The Father, The Son, and The Spirit.
Where are they you ask? (of course you asked)
The Father has always been in heaven, he cannot see sin, he is pure, holy, righteous, and knows nothing but his character. He has a character that he CANNOT step out of, loving, righteous, fair, jealous....and some others i can't remember Sometimes i wish i was a bible scholar XD
The Son has paid with his own blood and went to hell for our sins, after he was ressurected i am told he stayed on this Earth for about 40 days (a month...this is a foggy topic for me :S) When Christ was on the cross, our sin was placed upon him, he than asked God, his Father, why he had turned his back on him, forsaken him, it is because again, God cannot look upon sin. When we sin we are momentairly seperated from God, just like Christ was, but not for as long XD. The punsihment for sin, based on the old testament (which christians do use ), is DEATH, the standard for getting into heaven has always been PERFECTION, which we cannot acheive ALONE. But through Christ's blood covering us when God judges us, we can get into heaven.
The Spirit is living inside all of us, it is christ's (aka the son aka Jesus) gift to us. The Spirit can move inside of us and point to some things, an example of the spirit would be someone's inner-self (conscience) telling them right-from wrong; people know right from wrong naturally, my sunday school's teacher's son, when he was a little toddler, wasn't told stealing was bad. One night it was pretty close to dinner, about an hour or so, but he wanted a cookie to eat! He was told no more cookies, but still wanted a cookie, he took a cookie, and hid in his closet to eat it. Why hide in the closet? Because he knew it was bad, and it'd be a bad thing for him to be caught, thus he already has the sense from right to good, how? The Spirit
Another example of the spirit i can give is from my personal experience last sunday, there are this group of people that have been given batons for a leadership group in my church (forgot the name of the group XD) and i was instantly interested, and i felt something inside of me just burst out, the exact same feeling i had when i gave my heart to christ, that was the spirit moving inside of me to eventually ask about that group...
the living spirit is a powerful gift.
There are some...deeper and darker aspects of christianity that i was told about, it's the ever-war-torn-entaglement of Angles vs. Demons. Aparently they're invisible to us... when they want to be. I've heard countless stories of angles protecting people, and countless stories of witches and dark arts and crap, all those evil things = crazy people with special powers? NO, it equal crazy peopel drawing on the power of demons. Most people that dabble in the occult (occult = general reference to all things that's opposite the teachings of christianity such as divination, satan-worshiping, ect, btw, all these things god despises and loathes), most people that dabble in the occult will tell you that the power they use isn't from themselves.
You have to remember, God Cannot Sin, Satan Cannot Not Do Sin, in other words God only does Good works, while Satan can only do Evil works, that is how it's been since Satan fell from the angels.
Also, on a related topic, there is a set amount of angels and demons, i was hoping to be one after i died and gone to heaven..but nooooo i had to have my hopes CRUSHED... lol
Those are the basic principals of Christianity i was taught, wanna debate? Any questions? Oh, and btw, this godly love and christ's self-sacrifice thing, i believe it is meant for all, god loves all, no matter what you do, and no matter what you believe, i believe that christ still died for you, no matter what you say.
