i have to say that i find it very interesting that christians are the only people that truly will ridicule someone if they are of a different faith, when christianity is newer than judiasm, which jesus happened to practice.

Dude, I don't want to be mean but how are you gonna come in here and start talking about something like this when you don't even know the meaning of "reason"? Reason is the ability to control one's emotions? NO kid! SELF-CONTROL is the ability to control one's emotions. REASONING involves "thinking", therefore, Adam "thought", his "reasoning" led him to make a very bad decision.
Don't start saying stuff that is absolutely wrong.

See now is where you are losing your ability to reason. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

For lack of a better term, Adam made a stupid decision. If he had a better ability to comprehend what the consequences of his actions were... he wouldn't have made that choice. What would God's test mean if all thinking were a sin?

Infact, how can you even interpret what God wants without thinking? You don't even make sense.

"Once the people begin to reason, all is lost" -Voltaire"Reason is the root of all evil" -Me

Adam "reasoned" that it would be best if he ate the fruit from the tree, thus bringing sin into the world, all sin has come from and been caused by man's "reasoning". That is where we messed up, instead of listening to God, we "reasoned" on our own. But hey, I guess Adam's "reasoning" did affect your so-called "common good", but negatlively.

That's a funny post. Reason gives us the ability to rationalize. And rationalizing is not a good thing.

And if Jesus hadn't come christians would still be following Judaism.

I have no problem with people believing in different things. Afterall what those people believe in doesn't affect where I will end up. Some of the Islamic sects however have the belief that they must convert all to islam and those who refuse must be put to death. Religious sects such as these I'm against. All which are peaceful I have no problem with. These sects are dangerous to all people because they end with all sides dieing.

"If I could take all your words away and give you but a sparse few, they would be: ‘I now know, I am absolute, I am complete, I am God, I am.’ If there were no other words but these, you would no longer be limited to this plane."

In other words fellas, YOU are GOD!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif www.whatthebleep.com

i meant original church... like RIGHT after jesus died. not when those roman f'd it up.
they met in houses... kinda like the "christians" in china and stuff.

Rome was founded over seven hundred years prior to Christ. It was Rome that crusified him. Have you ever wandered why there is a curtain behind the pulpit? Originaly, the people were not allowed to talk to God. The priest would literaly seperate himself from the congregation. Supposably, as christ passed the curtain was ripped in half.

hundreth has never been known for his wit

i don't want to be mean tothe guy but nothing he has said makes sense at all, and then he tells me that I don't make sense and don't know what I am talking about, so I guess he just can't comprehend

 

[Hundreth 10+ year member]

so I guess he just can't comprehend

I guess that would make me reighteous by your point of view...

Its really complicated and different for everyone, obviously. I cant really say that i do, just because of the amount of evidence that questions it that i choose to believe. I find alot of it really hard to believe. So, to make it really short, no.
