I have heard this so many times...name one contradiction....most people say this but have never delved into the book to find one....the bible is meant to divide the world, hopefully turn it upside down...Jesus came to divide, but you will not understand this...
The god of this world has blinded many, and turned this world into something grotesque, full ...[text shortened]... King of King's and every knee will bow down before Him..some willingly and many subjectively..

If you turn on the TV to any news channel, whose nature do you see? Whose influence do you see?
How can you say there is no devil?
I Jn 5:19
19We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
(NIV)
what you mistaken for the devil, is mans choice to use his free will in negative ways
when you see alcahol and drugs out there to temp people, the are put there by greedy man for profit, not a character called the devil.
the devil is a bogus christian concept, to scare people to run to the christian god of the bible.

evil is not an entity, it doesn,t stand alone
evil is there only when we emdrace it, just like darkness exists when the light is absent
you can only ever have evil intentions and actions, which are a product of embracing the negative, instead of the posative.
you see, we all ways have a choice to embrace one or the other, but there often is a pot of gold waiting if we embrace the negative

Originally posted by checkbaiterI reckon there some christians who just wait for Jesus to come back and feel there is nothing more for them to do.Remember there are big divisions within the christian community (40000+ denominations worldwide).When you say "we" , you are surely not saying that all christians are united in a sole cause.
There are bad policemen, does that make them all bad? There are phony Christians, does that make them all bad?

C'mon man, I do not think all christians are bad, but they invoke the devil more than devil-worshippers do. After all, like vishnahetu says, there is no devil or hell. They are made up concepts by man to control fellow men.
Until you understand the basic false premises of christianity, you will not be able to move forward with your relationship with god.

hey, i was feeling all alone on this chat-back site, until you added your comments.
its good to know that someone else is seeing clearly, and my goal, is to encourage more people to do so.
cheers vishvahetu
Keep up the good work, you are energizing this site with some very helpful ideas. And you know how people hate to be rubbed up the wrong way.
True wisdom trancends temporal conditions,(ie. age,sex,etc.) and leads us to a direct knowledge of "God" . Once you have the inner conviction of your beliefs, time alone will tell whether they are in accord with "Gods" knowledge.
That reminds me that some people reject christianity, after establishing firm ideas about religon earlier in their lives. I would say that when your ideas conform to the inner reality of being, they need only be fine-tuned after that.
to karoly aczel
thanks for the encouragment, i hope people dont think wrongly of me, because i dont want to come over too authoritarian or anything, but i just know what i know, and when ya know what ya know, it sought of puts everything in perspective.
even realizing that their is so much falsity passing for knowledge, and i feel i have to speak my truth sometimes, in a mood of helping.
I only hope it is taken in that mood also.

I am afraid we are at an impasse...Faith comes by hearing the Word of God properly expounded and in this site I am unable to do so. The best I can do is direct you to a site...

as long as you believe in the stories of the bible,then we are at, as you say an impass,
there is no such entity as satin, it was created to scare the little children into becoming christians, as for the adults, iam puzzled why.
thankyou for your direction to that web-site, i will check out for curiosity
