Topic: What are your religious views?

I love hearing other people's point of view.
Although I would love to debate with some people on some things, I will not.

All I can say is that God doesn't control the events that happen. But he gives everyone the ability to make their own decisions.

The church in front of my apartment.

your right. We are given free will. God could control the events if he wanted, but he choose to give us free will.
God knows what we are going to do, but gives us choice.

Note: I believe this as fact.

We were given decisions to make to fix our own problems. But yet some ask for His help. The answer is in your actions.

I absolutely agree,Kizzi. We are given free will by God.

your action IS asking for help! You ask by your own free will and God responds!

Yes. But remember. He is inside all of us. The answers come to you when you least expect it to.

Same here, hearing other peoples points of view widens mine, I'm not stuck with one way of thinking, that's why I'd never try to refute whatever other person thinks, everything is posible, as far as I know even Corbie's theory could be true .

That thing inside of you is the Holy Spirit

That is true. A Spirit from God. Like I said. Your answers come from your actions. He controls all of us.

yep yep

And your actions can be decisions. And decisions can solve your problems. The law of Free Will

Yeah... some "magical spirit" doesn't control my actions.

Not sure why anyone would want to think people live to merely act as puppets under some almighty power.

It's fine if you want to claim something's inside you, controls you, touches you, etc. Doesn't mean it's true for the rest of us.

not controls you... free will. he does know what you are going to do though.

So when his priests go around touching little kids (And not in the "Hey Timmy it's nice to see you again" kind of way) he knows that's going to happen?

Then why doesn't "he" do something to stop it?

This is one of my favorite topics, but I won't really get involved. I do it in countless forums >_< I personally don't belive in any "supernatural" event that can't be scientifically proven, and that includes God. Japan has a Christian population of 1% (mostly non-Japanese people), and 65% are atheists. Coincidentally, Japan is one of the safest and most educated countries in the world - it's not perfect, no country is, but it's funny how a country that doesn't believe in Jesus is doing so fine.

Well, haven't you read the topic? You don't have to believe in anything.

free will... Well every person is sinful, EVERYONE.
God is perfect, his followers are not. We sin, he doesn't.
he sent his son to die for our sins so we can go to heaven.

If you allow me I have a theory abot this, I think "God", being so great, does know all the outcomes from all the choices we could make, he doesn't know what choice we are gonna make, but he knows what is going to happen anyway.
