Yes pokemon vs Christianity
Viper:
Some of yall are very misguided about Christianity. I dont think im adequate enough to teach you about true Christianity yet, but i pray that someday someone does. However i will try to get yall to understand what i do now know.
To start off, our entire purpose in life is one thing and one thing only: to glorify God. We do this by ministering to others, praying, worshiping, and many other things. And our reward for this is the joy of bringing others to Christ and the prize of eternal life in heaven with God. Now dont look at this like we are all bowing down to a deity i the sky. Its much more personal than that. A christians goal in life is to establish a continuing relationship with Jesus through the manners ive described, one that is very hard for me to put in words. Its kind of like a relationship a father has with his son, but much deeper. I know most of yall dont think this is possible, but those of us with true faith, have experienced it. When we have this, we can rely on him for support through prayer and fellowship and he will guide our way. Its truly an amazing thing.
About the ten commandments stated earlier, people who arent Christians always look at them wrong. Think of them not as rules but as guidelines. Christianity is not about what you do wrong, its about what you do right. A Christian can break one of the commandments and still be a Christian, thats the whole purpose Jesus came to die for us. When God sent Jesus to sacrifice himself for us, he allowed us to have or sins forgiven, no matter how bad they were. As long as you have true faith in Christ and God, you will still go to heaven. The purpose of the ten commandments is to keep us pure in order to better establish that relationship i described earlier. You should want to yearn to keep the commandments so you can be the Christian God wants you to be and to establish a relationship with him. But you dont have to.
As to why everyone is born with sin, its pretty much a test that God gives all of us. God has a plan for everyones lives, and in order for them to carry out that plan, they have to stay true to God and not give to temptation. I believe sin exists to test our faith in God, because anybody can say they are a Christian, but its when times get tough that true Christians are revealed. If a Christian falls to sin, God gives plenty of opportunities in their lifetime through friends, other Christians, the bible, and more for them to come back to him. Go loves us all and he hates to see anyone fall to sin, however it isnt his way anymore to get directly involved in earthly affairs. In the bible you will understand that God stopped getting involved directly when Jesus left the Earth. As a result of this, God loves to work through his followers.
All of this isnt my personal opinion, its what i have learned through years in the church, reading the bible, and listening to sermons. I hope i have helped some of you to understand more about Christianity and us christians.
Oh and to Frenchfry, i had this book that was about a man who went out to disprove that god existed by finding historical facts against him, but in the end turned to Christianity because all the facts supported him. He tells his story and all the facts he found about God. If your interested i could go dig up the books name for ya.

Misguided? I don't claim that you're misguided because you believe in Christianity. All i'm saying is that I don't have the same beliefs that you do. And I am/was Catholic (I still pay them money), and have gone through so called "confirmation" and "first communion", so I know very damn well what's it about.
You cannot claim that your belief is the righteous one, unless you want arguments.

I write all that and all you have to respond about is the first sentence?
My claim that yall are misguided is about what some people here believe about Christianity, only that.

In that case you write "Some of you are misguided", as well as point to these posts.
I didn't have to comment the rest of your post, and thus didn't do so.
