Questioning Beliefs

[Godscreated]

Questioning ones belief is a natural human trait and it applies to belief in God and who He is. Questioning can be a good thing it makes one search for answers instead of taking anothers word about God and this will lead to a stronger relationship with Him. Annatar you and DiRNiS have no idea what you are talking about, you have no belief in any god, you participate in no religion so how can you say the things you say when you have no idea what really takes place in any religion. You want to be authoritative about christianity then start going to church and learn what happens in a christian church research and study scripture with an open mind you might very well be suprised.

I was a believer before. I questioned my beliefs and look what happened.. when i said you cant keep believe in, it was the experience talking... Besides one doesn't need to be in the garbage can to recognize the garbage..
as for your advice to research, i got my free bible now I am reading it carefully and so far I am not impressed..

That is what I said in an earlier reply.... when you question you will either turn away or become stronger.
Keep reading you never know, by the way why are you reading something you have dismissed as myth. I really do not understand.

God nor the church forces you to do anything you do not want, you do truly have a choice. The gun does not take away the choice it's the evil person holding the gun. God is not evil He will not hold you hostage.

Complete bullshit. If you really do believe that then I pity your lack of vision.

Free will and open choice do not come with threats. There IS a consequence to the xitan idea of “Choice”. As I said in my original quote, “Think as we tell you or suffer eternal damnation!” and you think that’s not forcing people? Emotional blackmail? Amirite?
I used the gun example purely for illustration purposes as to my mind the so-called-choice your kind offers is the same thing.
I'm sorry if you can’t see it that way, but it’s as plain as day to me. It’s just a very thinly veiled threat.

Questioning ones belief is a natural human trait and it applies to belief in godand who he is.

This statement is bollocks.

“Belief in god”? That is not questioning your belief. That is questioning the nature of your belief. To question your belief who would need look at if god really exists rather than in which way you interpret your belief in it.

Please have no pity toward me for anything I'm very secure with my beliefs. Why do you think the church or any individual christian has authority over you eternial destination they do not, only you do. Christianity has nothing to do with pleasing others it's a relationship with God and yes there are stipulations to entering into that relationship. These stipulations are set by God not the church He has all the authority not the church. The church is comprised of all true believers and one of it's functions is teaching about Christ not giving ultimatums as you seem to believe in the above underlined. Yes I know there are individual churches that do what you have stated and they are wrong. God wants His people to promote peace not disension, to love others not to control people.
