I am not at all against this idea. I am open-minded regarding God and what God does. I am convinced, however, that God MUST have communication issues, especially if he used the Westburro Baptist Church recently to communicate with humanity.
Perhaps YOU can tell me why God punished the dinosaurs with that terrible asteroid and extinction. Were they, too, disobedient and did they not obey their Bibles?
Then, pray tell, of all the religions on the Earth today, which one is favored the most and why it is favored the most? Which religion does God use to communicate with humanity? If God uses more than one religion does God give each a conflicting viewpoint to see what the results might be?
OR, do you know the answers to these things?
If YOU do not can you tell me somebody who does?
Let me know, I have tried prayer, and so far that has been pretty one-sided.
Hi A1,
1) From my point of view, Christianity is the true religion. Millions of people from all religions came over to Christianity because of the Holy Ghosts convictions. They aren't forced to convert. Christianity is a faith which is clearly not for everyone. True Christians DO experience God on many plains.
2) Dinosaurs can't read bibles.
3) It's written that God brings to life and puts to death. He is the potter and we (the world and everything in it) are the clay.
4) He does not necessarily punish when He puts to death.
5) A similar thing is going to happen to humanity as was with the dinosaurs. That WILL be punishment. Every man will be judged according what he has done on Earth.
...but please leave out the proselytizing
I'm just answering questions. It's really not my intention to proselytize. That's the Holy Ghost's job. I'm just sharing my opinion on the thread's topic

Man failed all by himself. Somebody earlier mentioned that humanity is the planet's Armageddon. There might be more truth in that statement because man has destroyed not only the planet but also morals. Christianity did fail to convert the whole world but those who are

called it did save. This was also prophesied.
... Besides,
how can one believe something one finds ridiculous?...
If this is truly your conviction, Christianity is not for you. Sadly...
When I was in hospital a few weeks ago, I shared a room with a Christian man who had a blocked urethra. He was in terrible pain and screamed that every patient on the floor heard him. We started to pray. He was praying loudly and I was praying softly on my bed. The nurses did not know what to do so they called the Urologist to come. This was about 9 pm. 10 min later, God answered our prayers and urine suddenly flowed with force from his bladder; wetting his bed. We believed God answered our prayers. There are billions such testimonies.
I also know of certain people ( non Christians) who quickly started praying to Jesus when their children fall terribly ill; or loved ones were in a car accident; or a loved one is dying of cancer

. Why do they not pray to the gods of the other religions. Non believers stream to Benny Hinn's church for healing. Who don't they go to the other religions.
Wrong, I will have 10% more of my hard earned income if I don't so over a lifetime that 10% adds up.
Christianity prays on the poor and keeps them there. It is a parasitic religion, its all about give me, give me give me, good boy, now go make another baby.
Sadly this is true. There are 'Christians' who seek God only for prosperity and what they can get out of him. They are going to their own destruction.
Christianity is not what one can get out of God. One does not become a Christian to:
1) Skip Hell,
2) Prosperity,
3) Protection,
4) Going to Heaven
One becomes a Christian to unite Christ into one's heart in order for Him to transform you into Him resulting you also to become Christlike. A son of God. A person with REAL love for others, rather GIVING than TAKING, visiting the poor, the convicts, praying for others, accepting God's testing us to become stronger. We seek to be pure, blameless, not judging others, truthful, helping, not being proud, etc. This is a growing progress but true Christians CANNOT be satisfied with sin as Christ is nagging from inside. His voice CAN be heard but only to those that genuinely seek Him with patient endurance. He will come.
Regards
