Yes, many have taken offense to many things, but when the post is specifically designed to make people take offense to it, it becomes extremely immature.

I believe in the God of Abraham, the God of Moses, the Father of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior.

I believe in the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount.

I believe John 3:16.

I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Unlike most people here, I'm over 14, don't put "Bed Head" in my hair, bolts in my nose or tongue, tattoos on my body. And unlike most, I have actually read the Bible and studied it's history. I know where the information came from. The Dead Sea Scrolls and various Codexes were not made up by men to control people and instill fear in them. These documents are thousands of years old and tell a history of a people and history of civilization.

Matthew 5:11

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me."

John 20:29

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

That is a tough question honestly, the best reason comes only after you open yourself to Him and that is feeling His presence. As far as why else, well how else can you explain the things that have happened in your life and others? Chance?

That's pretty much what it is. We get lucky and we believe it's a miracle by God... doesn't work for me.

Well, I don't see how you can be satisfied with a scientific explanation either then. Just because someone tells you we evolved from a single cell we believe this, though we cannot feel it, we are simply told this.

I feel sorry for all non belivers,yes!

They are not necessarily pathetic, simply not blessed enough to have felt God the way some have, and haven't opened themselves up enough to feel Him. Take a few steps back and look at Christianity through their perspecitve for a moment and I think you will see their point in a different light.

But the fact that we were evolved from a single cell makes more sense than an all-powerful god that spawns 2 human beings, to me at least.

The Adam & Eve theory can't exist because in the bible they're both white. If they were both while, how did African-Americans come, what about Chinese and Japanese, Spaniards?

It ends upleasently only because immature people make it do so. We continue because, while futile, we want to make our points heard, and dispute others points. It gives us the opportunity to take in new ideas, even if they aren't radically different from those we already have accepted.

It can be simply explained. Adaptations over a long period of time caused the African Americans to have darker skin. Its different from evolution in the sense that a new species does not result.

I agree. Man, I'm not meaning any disrespect to you or any religious believers at all. I respect what they believe in. I just can't see how God can exist when I've never seen him. I'm the type of person who believes on in what he sees... so many things that say God doesn't exist make more sense to me than the things that say he does.

An excellent argument. I'd like to see Christians justify this.

BY THE WAY, the reason why there is nothing to do with race in the bible is becuase the person who wrote the bible only believe that there was one. Yes.

You can ofcourse belive what you want!

Maybe you will experiance something in your life,an odd situation that will make you think about everything around you.

I was one of those,God? no way,everything started with a big bang,yes.

Im sure there was a bang when God created earth and everything in it.

Yes,some things in the bible should be questioned and researeched to separate fact from fiction.

You really feel different when you know that god or Jesus has touched you.I cant describe the feeling.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      The concern of this article is not getting "hacked". No one is taking over my Google account and anyone that was is far away from self-hosting their passwords. It was about your big tech account of choice deciding to reduce features or getting out of the password manager business altogether. Bitwarden (or say Proton) is professional security company offering opensource solutions. They are going no where and one can easily download or export their passwords to another password manager service regardless. They again also offer self-hosted option. I doubt many people were sold on this solution based on the write up. The author had a number of warnings and caveats themselves. A local, self-managed solution is not for 99% of users.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
