My guess is that he does not like the thought of dying. He wants to live Forever. ruveyn

Is this a thread about why people are Christian or just an attempt to mock fellow members of this forum, based on what you guys are saying, it looks like it is the latter.

Why don't you just answer the question?

Because he's a Christian, silly! Just because Christians think they have all of the answers, it doesn't mean that they have to share any of those answers with you!

A Christian that is too ashamed of his beliefs to confess one of them?

Really?

There's hope for the secular world, after all!

I'm not ashamed of my beliefs, I'm just secure enough in my faith that I don't feel I have to defend my faith and I have better things to do with my time than participate in this latest attempt to bash Christians and Jews (whom believe in the same God, just there is difference as to whether or not you believe Jesus was the son of God).

If a bunch of atheists want to display their bigotry, that's your guys business, just don't complain the next time someone whom is religious on this forum equates atheism to bigotry.

This is your big chance. Most Christians like to testify about their beliefs, if they aren't ashamed.

I'm not and most of you grill me pretty well. I like a good challenge. It helps me do personal study to find the answers. I try to use the bible to show God's view on matters.

Ah, a true Christian! Congratulations!

Remember: Jesus put up with Roman soldiers mocking, scourging and crucifying him rather roughly. Most modern "Christians" just wouldn't put up with what Jesus endured.

No. I expected as much from you.

That's an insult to nancies everywhere, Vig.

Oh wow, another why are you a Christian thread where everyone who raises their hand gets pounced on.

I am a Chrisitan because I believe that Jesus Chirst was God, died for my sins and on the third day rose from the dead. I was once an atheist but became a Christian, almost by mistake after I went to Church with a girl I was interested in.

The Jehovah's Witnesses were the only Christian group that didn't buckle under to the Nazis

http://www.holocaust-trc.org/Jehovah.htm

Quote:

Jehovah's Witnesses endured intense persecution under the Nazi regime. Actions against the religious group and its individual members spanned the Nazi years 1933 to 1945. Unlike Jews and Sinti and Roma "Gypsies"), persecuted and killed by virtue of their birth, Jehovah's Witnesses had the opportunity to escape persecution and personal harm by renouncing their religious beliefs. The courage the vast majority displayed in refusing to do so, in the face of torture, maltreatment in concentration camps, and sometimes execution, won them the respect of many contemporaries.

I've had mystical experiences involving synchronous events. Maybe I read too much into them, but the coincidences were remarkable. It seemed like I was receiving private revelations, something only I would understand.

Quote:

There was also the Confessing Church in Germany, made up of breakaway German Lutherans who refused to buckle down under the Nazis the way the state churches did. Most famous of the Confessing Church members were Martin Niemoeller, who had been sent to Auschwitz for his opposition to the Nazis, and who had written (paraphrase) "When they came for the communists I did nothing because I was not a communist; when they came for the trade unionists, I did nothing because I was not a trade unionist, when they came for the Jews, I did nothing because I was not a Jew... and when they came for me , there was no one left." And also, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who had been executed for his role in the plot to kill Hitler.
