I have been going to seminary for a while, and Heyward is very knowledgeable as well. We want to answer any and all of your questions concerning the tenets and beliefs of Christianity: Who Christ is, why suffering exists, who God is, what is the nature of God, why Jesus had to die, is the Bible accurate, what does the Bible say, etc. We want you to be comfortable with talking about Christianity, we will not try to argue our assert our beliefs upon you, we will just state them. Anything you want to ask, we will answer without judgement. If we don't hold up to our promises here, I am sorry. |

1: I'm nondenominational, I study the bible and honestly try to understand its meaning. I will either prove or be reproved. 2: 3: Many of the things Jesus said were metaphors. For example: "Tear down this temple and I will rebuild it in three days" referred to his body, not the actual temple. I believe that Jesus was able to literally turn water into wine, heal illnesses, and perform other miracles. |

I'd like to comment on where Jason posted "Christianity is not like other religions." Many different sects of Christianity base their beliefs on the bible and the life of Jesus, however any denomination that does not wholly accept the bible and all of its teachings should be excluded from what Jason and I refer to as Christianity. |

Because I'm human. I'm no better than any other human. I just try to do what I'm supposed to. I don't judge others for their sins or try to profess myself as holy or accomplished in my own power. As a side note, there's nothing wrong with admiring someone's hair. |

1( Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the Bible? Spoiler: click to toggle 2( Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? 3( Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? 4( How is it that the bible explains the earth to be 6000 to 8000 years old when we know that dinosaur bones are at least 65 million years old? |5( God wants everyone to worship and follow him and if they don't, they burn in hell for all eternity. What does this type of attitude say about his character? By definition, he would be described as a tyrant. 6( Does God have free will? 7( If God told you to water your cactus with microwaved water, would you do it? 8( If a hundred different religions have to be wrong for yours to be right, does this show that people from all over the world like to invent gods that don't exist? 9( If your parents had belonged to a different religion, do you think you would belong to that religion too? 10( If people from the five major religions are each told conflicting information by their respective gods, should any of them be believed? 11( How can you tell the voice of God from the voice of the Devil? 12( If God told you to kill an Atheist, would you? 13( When an Atheist is kind and charitable out of the kindness of his heart, is his behavior more or less commendable than a religious man who does it because God instructed him to? 14( If you are against the Crusades and the Inquisition, would you have been burned alive as a heretic during those events? 16( Do animals need "god-given" morality to understand how to care for their young, co-operate within a pack, or feel anguish at the loss of a companion? Why do we? |15( If humans declared fire to be a miracle thousands of years ago, would we still be huddling together in caves while we wait for God to fire another lightning bolt into the forest? 17( Should an instruction to convert to your religion upon the threat of eternal torture in hell be met with anything other than hostility? Can a mass murderer go to heaven for accepting your religion, while a kind doctor goes to hell for not? 19( Can God make a rock so big that he can't lift it? 20( What about people who have never heard even the name of Jesus? Some of the questions are green, though I please you to answer them all. |
