well I'm just saying the orthodox part of Christianity says is doesn't matter how god supposedly created the planet they just believe he created it

I'm not familiar with this sect that you speak of, as I do not hold to this idea at all.

The *how* of it is very important.

''Evolution Is As Real As Gravity. Evolution is still all too often (but wrongly) downplayed as “just a theory” in public discussions. This is partly due to an unfortunate misunderstanding of what a theory means in science, as opposed to its common language meaning. Evolution by natural selection is much more than just a hypothesis, and is as much a valid and well-accepted scientific theory as the theory of gravitation''

Of course, we must never let that pursuit cloud our vision of His love.

It is quoted, but might I ask, where did it come from?

I'm not saying he is not real I'm just saying evolution is real

Do not mistake me, evolution does happen around us, but to say undeniably that it is the cause of the diversity of life is another matter.

And frankly, this is not the time nor the place to push such matters.

probably

I love me some entertainment but initially, I kind of laughed at this. Then I realized that it's not actually a bad thing. Strange, but not a bad idea.

I do think that they picked a hilariously unflattering photo of Amy Poehler

Huh

there's a prayer focus part on this page for famous people

@Arkeal that angel drawing is only half drawn. It’s by a mirror. Isn’t it?

Idk

@dastenhero ah ok

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Kill me

I still worship this

And Allah (SWT) will not punish them, while they seek forgiveness | Al-Anfaal 33.

Ok so when I was younger I went to CCD (not sure if it’s called that anywhere else, but it’s an after school thing to learn about god, Jesus, the Bible, etc) and I never really cared, I went between the ages of like 6-12 and never really cared and felt it was a chore to go to. My mother forced me to go despite my not wanting to which really turned me off. So I then became “officially” atheist and have been so for years now. But the past year I have just lost a lot of hope, and don’t know where else to turn. I’m done being depressed, I’m done feeling hopeless, I just need some hope. I want to believe, but I honestly know nothing about any religion and don’t know how to even pick what to follow... all of them have seem to have been corrupted by politics, is there any good one left? Are there any that are true to their values, and have good values?

Well...in short for me God and Jesus are the best out there. It is easier to depend on Him. After all...He is the one that gives me hope and life no matter what happens in the world.

Mind if I share a verse?

@ray liotta private select may i suggest reading the bible from the New Testament

@ray liotta private select I would say Christianity for sure. Most important of all read the bible. Especially, if you are just starting out, and have liitle to no clue of what Christianity is about. The best way to start is from the roots. Build your faith and find something to believe in by studying the word of God.
The most important thing you can do is read a Bible, and specifically a *good* Bible. There are many different translations out there. I highly suggest KJV ( kings James version ) it's one of the most accurate english translations, not perfect mind you. But, it is popular, and regularly used. It is important that you start out in your own language first, and then you can move on and learn the Hebrew origins of the bible. Learn the Parsha, it is Hebrew word for portion, and refers to a portion of the bible to be read/ studied. You can google "this weeks parsha" very easily and create a weekly regiment for your Bible studies.
**Don't start at the New testament** It is crucial that you understand why Jesus was prophesied to be the Messiah. Start at the beginning; Genesis.

@Mr.E_z
True

Ik this isn't part of the conversation but I have been thinking about these 2 verses in Roman's

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
Romans 13:1‭-‬2 NKJV

https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.13.1-2.NKJV

Now it doesn't mean follow blindly of course

If the country is putting laws that are against his word we have the right to go against them

God has the world in the palm of his hands

God bless you all and good night

Yeah follow basic law and civil

As shown in the old testament story with the three men and the burning furnace

Forgot their names :(

I watched Veggietales i remember their names!

Shadrak , meshak and abindago
