So I have another question. If we're dropping the arguments and leading by example (hoping atheists will react to our love), how then will we stand out from other religions who use the same method (Islam for example?) "Well Mr. Atheist, I know Moham…
My answer is correct too!
We love God so we talk to Him; we talk to Him so that we have a relationship with Him; we have a relationship with Him so that we can learn from Him; we learn from Him so that we can be like Him. That's where I was headed …
I have no idea what Rem said, but is it love God and love your brothers? I like to simplify things ;)
Also is there an examination you're posting after this?
What contradicts?
God's approach in dealing with His people in the Old Testament differs than the New Testament because we now have the Holy Spirit Who teaches us. It's kind of like a young child who needs specific, strict directions but once he/s…
Actually I wanted to add that shortcomings in Christian behavior doesn't allude to flaws in the religion, but rather that we're not perfect. That's probably what I would tell the atheist prior to my immediate referral to Mina.
Woops. I was answering your post about animals and altruism, not the Pharisee Christian practice.
I'll let someone else take on this (new) discussion because the only answer I have is we strive for perfect love by asking for it in prayer.
Btw, you…
No, you're still pretty good lol
I've been reading your posts though and know you mean well in the end (not actually attacking me) :)
I'm curious what your answer is to the original question.
Which is why I don't get in these arguments with non Christians. I can't prove my faith without working on myself first.
I was just answering you because I know you're not really an atheist :)
Dude, you can't change the argument! Lol that's illegal..
Lets just stick with the original question you posted, how Christian love is different than atheists love ;) They're unable to love their enemies (because it's unnatural), but we can through …
Be easy on Abouna. He goes through more than we can ever imagine. Sometimes we don't realize it, because the side of Abouna we usually see is centered around how we see him in church. I'm pretty sure if any other, non-Christian, tried playing the ro…
That's really saddening to hear, but unfortunately sometimes Copts adapt to mirror the culture they live in (ie southern United States vs northerners). It shouldn't be that way at all, as Christians are sojourners, but that's kind of reality (the wa…
I think it all comes back to the title of the story, "are you afraid of the truth". When someone like Hany is accused of an unthinkable crime, some people get scared and withdraw. They don't want to know what happened because they don't want to see …
I cried reading your post.
The answer is in your signature: ask and it will be given to you.
Lord, the sins I commit now are countless and I feel no guilt. Give me the spirit of sensitivity and circumspection. My desire to please myself increase…
