A sensitive topic on Christianity

[The bible is too accurate to have been written by just a bunch of smart men or women!]

No, the Bible is not "just a book about morals". In fact, it isn't really about behaviour, at all. It is about the relationship you have with the Creator, knowing your role in the relationship and understanding what the Creator finds pleasing and displeasing.

Yes, just because "whomever" said that God wrote it does not mean that God wrote it. [In fact ] He didn't. He inspired it. The Bible was written by more than 40 men over several millenia. And if there is one error in it, then the entire book is crap. Contrary to what another posted (i.e., it is full of inaccuracies), if that were indeed the case, point out just one and the Bible becomes a house of cards. Yet, over the last 2,000 years, no one has been able to do such a thing.

Also, most people who "believe" the Bible do so only after reading it and studying it and understanding it. In fact, there is a lot of studying that goes on. Ever wanted an Instruction Manual for the human condition? The Bible is it.>

Ash's thoughts:
Yea� if Jesus wasn�t real, dozen and thousands of Christian are just wasting their time in ministry and in church.
If Jesus wasn�t God, then he must be a lunatic.
If Jesus wasn�t God, then he must be a deceptive liar.
If Jesus wasn�t God, then he must be damn evil.
If Jesus wasn�t God, then he would definitely grab the best actor of the millenium Oscar award.

But the thing is He is real� Real to people who has accepted and experienced the goodness of Him....

Christianity really is more than just a religion� more than just morals� more than just doing the right thing�

It�s a loving relationship with God, who loves us, fills our life with His purpose, gives us peace, comfort and strength..

Sad to say� Christianity is portrayed badly by people who �FORCE � CONVERSION�

NO NO.. and mind you, that�s wrong, as much as God is a gentleman, He will never force us..

It�s like He is reaching out His hand, and all He wishes is for us to willingly take His hand.

I never believed in forcing, we just wanna share with people how blessed we are and let them explore this God we have, whether they want to accept, it�s up to them.

But in this century, most people are self-sufficent, self-dependent, skeptical, critical, hardened, spiritually-blinded..

that's why they keep rejecting Him..like so what if God is real? It's NOMB.. I lead my own life.. I die die lo.. sin sin lo..

ok.. do u really not care about the "forever" that you'll lead after death? as for sure i'll want to be in eternal paradise..
