Question for religious people.......

[MikeofTulsa Moderator]

Isnt the explanation given by religious people of dinosaurs, that the bones were placed there by god as a test? Adio, MoT care to correct me if im wrong?

i dont have an explanation for you, i've never heard of this explanation you speak of.

You speak so generally, I am a christian and I don't have any problems with T-rex or the fact that the earth is older than 6000 years
Chrisitanity is a way to save yourself from the hell of no hope, not a way to control the masses

bingo. i know what i believe, and i know what i've seen/felt. there is no way you can convince me otherwise.

Isn't life in general a test? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Not for me.

Which is good for you. I dont hate on people that believe. As a matter of fact, I am pretty much on the fence.

so you will wait to see and then accept him

Why do you pray to God if he has a divine plan for you anyways? You're asking for something that God has already predetermined you will or will not get. Do you think he's going to bend his divine plan for your worthless ***?

Not for me.

Sure it is:

Doing right from wrong

Whether you're successful or a failure

Career advancement

It's all a test.

Yeah, you probably think the U.S. Gov't flew the jets into the Twin Towers also. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Young people love the conspiracy theories. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

sorry but it's not just young people that believe the US Gov't had "something" involved in 9/11 - but this is a religious thread - Seperation of Church and State please - unless your last name is Bush, then I'd understand you not following the rules, or at least changing them to suit your needs

Its not an official explanation, just what I have read as an explanation more than once. Not like read thoroughly but more in passing.

Why do you pray to God if he has a divine plan for you anyways? You're asking for something that God has already predetermined you will or will not get. Do you think he's going to bend his divine plan for your worthless ***?

Sure it is:
Doing right from wrong

Whether you're successful or a failure

Career advancement

It's all a test.

who's grading the outcome?

Test implies passing or failing. Right/wrong; success/failure; career advancement, etc are all subjective.

All that I mentioned are self tests.

But you have observed gravity.

now do u mean i observed the effects of gravity or i actually looked at gravity like i look at a cloud?

And pointless at that, I may add.

That depends on things we obviously can not answer.

Such as: When you die does your spirit die as well? Will you still have free will without a brain? When exactly does the Lord show himself to us, if he does in fact exist?

And I already know your answers.

But this goes back to the original purpose of this thread. You can live well and follow 'the rules of the lord' or morals so to speak without acknowledging there is a God.

now how can you "follow the rules of the lord" if you arguing the fact that there is no Lord?
