I have some questions for the Christians.

[Mad Dog]

I didn't write them...and I'm not goin to argue with anyone else.

If you didn't write them, then Who did? Except for the joke questions, they are worthy of an answer. But you'll have a hard time getting the Christians on this board to take you seriously now though. So I will make an attempt from the limited knowledge of my Christian past.

1) God is eternal. He always has been and He always will be. Nobody made God. God just Is.

2) God is omni-present. In other words He is every where at all times. Is God in heaven? Yes. Is God on earth? Yes. God is in every dimension At all times. Under the earth, on the earth and above the earth. Any good Christian would tell you that God chooses NOT to live in your heart if you don't want him there. Conversely He will live in your heart if you want him there also.

3) The example in the bible of bad things happening to good people is found in the book of Job. Job was a righteous man, who loved God. Satan came by and commented to God that Job had no reason not to love God because Job had all that a man could ask for so Satan bet God that if he took away all that Job had worked so hard for that Job would curse God to his face. So God let Satan smite Job, because of a bet.

Plus people who look righteous on the outside are pure rotten on the inside sometimes, so things are tricky on that.

4) Christians will tell you that God cannot tolerate sin. And sinful humans cannot be in Gods presence. Yet conversely God loves us and desires a personal relationship with His Creation. But we struggle with God. Even the word Israel translated from the Hebrew means "wrestles with God".

So with the fall of Adam and Eve, God set in action a plan to buy back His people from the world and Satan. As an object lesson for the Jew's He enacted a series of animal sacrifices that enabled his children to petition God and for Him to hear there prayers.

He did not intend for those animal sacrifices to continue forever and sent prophets to call and end to animal sacrifice and that a Savior would come to lead them and save them. The Jews assumed this meant this would be an end to their slavery and they would have their nation back.

But when their King was taken, tortured, crucified and murdered, it was pointedly clear that it was not a nation that was to be saved but the souls of humanity. When God now looks at his children and sees their sins, He remembers the sacrifice of His Son and remembers them no more... forever.

When we look at the Jesus the Christ, not only as our Savior, but a moderator between God and man. Since Jesus was fully man and has felt every desperate emotion, he is able to empathize with us and be our friend. Since he is fully God, He is able to mollify Gods natural wrath toward sin and sinners.

5) God will not let you see him because you would instantly die in the presence of His glory. He does communicate with us through His Word, which is the bible and to a lesser degree by His angels. If you think you've heard audible voices thinking you've heard God, think angels.

6) Serious Christians will Never think you are crazy if you say you have heard the voice of an Angel. They may be skeptical and they may ask you to explain what was said and under what circumstances, but they won't think you are crazy. Non believers will think you have a screw loose.

7) On the surface this sounds like a joke question. But think about it a little deeper. Raider nation is predominately black and silver and dress in Satanistic costumes. If they weren't so cartoonish they would be an abomination unto God. Raider fans are just like the rest of us, however, afforded the opportunity to have there sins forgiven like the rest of sinful humanity and the power of Christs blood.

8) Morgan Freeman is not God. He just plays Him in the movies.
