Name Preference: Kusugari, Kusu Age Range: 13-20 Religion: Agnostic, leaning towards Atheism Sex/Gender: Male Anything else: I'd debated quite a lot with Christians, but I really feel like I've become closed-minded because I haven't considered Islam or Judaism. I really enjoy debating, and learning new information of how to refute arguments is something that I find very amusing.

Name Preference: Luna or Luna Autumn Age Range: 21-30 Religion: Christianity (raised Catholic) Sex/Gender: Female Anything else: I help run a club to have discussions, debates, and sometimes informational meetings on different religions so I'm excited to find this part of Gaia. I don't quite feel 'settled' in my faith so I'll sometimes ask questions or discuss other people's views to try to figure that out. Otherwise, I'm just interested in learning about different religions/faiths and ideologies people hold in general. ^_^

Name: SCO-ANON.
Preference name: His own. (Samuel)
My introduction is my argument and thus also my greeting. I wish you well.
(PLEASE READ... note this faith of mine is not angelic, evangelistic, or atheist, christian, or islam though based on christianity. Please define this faith if one can. It could help a man.)
Religion = : Christianity. (the true meaning of it. = see below.)
An honest man is rare but one that disagrees with the principles by which people teach a man and or the way one perceives amd or practices.
It is to say that even those who profess his own belief are either truthful with lies. However I am not saying a lord would lie. And so one must prove when people contradict that belief; hyocrites with works and not love and or angelic radicals who will profess or evangelise to teach nations that only one belief is correct.
However I decide not to judge a man on his or her religion unless scriptures can prove to me reality and one can truly apply it to his or her own life. If something involves sacrifice and or financial concern I believe as according to Christianity man has faith at the heart and therefore makes their own decision even for a cause or result under circumstances or pressure.
The worship of animals and or craft is a sign that man is willing to acknowledge anything as a god including nature and it is sad that the world is wicked in its core.
People have an existence of not acknowledging what was once there in a dead world. However they chose their path a long time ago and not to be repeated is ancient times. At least I hope.
The person who argues that the world was made by nothing is something that science cannot define so that kills scientology's definition of anything can be defined by science and that people can know everything. They will try and they will know everything one day to the limits of capacity.
They can using science as a means to help and harm the own world.
The fact that the world came from nothing is shocking to me as a story or parts of it to be true.
Explanation: who knows. = two people = male and female for a purpose. = Genesis.
Homosexuality the bible condems but the world does it anyway knowing right from wrong. The only excuse that can be given of such a man is this....
If one man was taught by another since his birth and not knowing. Or the man loses his mind and must relearn society And hanging with a different gender for the full life and doing wrong.
To be with life in my case I have talked to people with more intellect not because I do not know but rather the fact I cannot encounter society or refrain to be a part from it.
There are those who reject truth from the Bible because they cannot bear the pain on the heart knowing that the words reflect the self. So also the same that it will contradict whatever is written if it were fully applied to one's soul which one alone has not the capabilities of understanding it.
That man... would be persecuted because they have a belief and that man is killed usually because they see a contradiction or claim the man to be a god and or a slander. That is called false worship and or affects the religions and or practice of others.
Here is my beliefs about the bible and or humanistic issues and such.
Besides Christianity which is following Christ cause he claims to be god which in fact he was a son, a man has learned there is a faith higher and that man calls it a will towards what no man has and not I, that each quality of a man is defined by his or her character a piece of that faith if one strictly acts with all honesty or is cursed so a man to suffer through ordeals and learns given mercy by not only others but that strength which holds a man in his spirit and will with commitment. That man may stumble and hereby is not perfect but the courage will keep that man strong with his understanding.
There is more to it that rejecting God is also denying his son because he was an attonement for sin which is wrong doing in the world. But the attonement only paid the penality it did not cause it to stop because man had a choice of doing right and wrong since a disapproval or Genesis issue = a.k.a. beginning.
It is strictly inherited what one feels or is according to heritage that one is born with the qualities and anticipation of others meaning they live a lifestyle seperated and or different.
The urban lifestyle The city The country You name it.
People who destroy it lower the trust and honesty with also the peace or the little of it left in the world which also applies to Christians and other religions.
What would happen is a conflict... of ancient struggle. Though also it was a land struggle however it is not of this time... History takes its toll and others remember it well of life.
Jewish Christian? = how is that possible?
Try having grandparents that lived in Russa and Poland then report on a family heritage. Anyway that is not a jew. A person is a jew because they believe in an old practice or rather the ways of Abraham and old ways. During that time they only had the old testament. You could say the new testament was not deminstrated yet until during or after Christ's time.
Anyway... what ever happend to I and my father are one? Let's see.
I believe on the trinity. Okay... so you got the son = Jesus... and the father and the holy spirit. Well I have no clue as far as defining the holy spirit.
However I will state that the spirit is the will of God and or the guidance set forth on the earth really = kind of a twisted view of scripture but a fact.
That is not the point. The point is this... The one mistake I would find in the KJV and the NJV is the fact that Jesus was not god. He was God's son.
Also it was Jesus who died = not God's death.
Jesus was sinless yet he suffered and endured. Explain a non-sinful man.
Either people worship a dead christ who is risen or a false Jesus and state that no man is perfect. = hypocrisy and or language translation of literature.
True. No man is perfect, not even perfection itself. Let me tell you why I state that with all honesty and curiousity.
I repeat to say that though he was if so stated perfect and sinless it was his obidence towards God and his own. It is to say, Jesus I would compare to someone at the very last moment kind of like Jonah.
Eli-Eli-oh-bek-sam-i-ni... = my God my god why have you forsaken me.
Although the difference is... Jesus was on his death and last breath.
Except the difference is that Jonah ran and Christ had principles of love and obidence towards knowing another man and or one's self respect towards obedience.
I say to you that a man can clarify one out of the possibility that Jesus did raise if it was the Lord's will to do so.
But I do not acknowledge the fact of some stories and or historical relevances not matching up in comparison.
Also the church should know this... a perfect man is defined by what? For not even perfection made one happy. That is to say in one's perfection there comes a time where being perfect shall be discriminated by another and or lied upon by those who are not.
I am a man and I acknowledge.
That the holiness of one could silence that of many but yet its truth twisted.
I give you no new commandment but this = what Jesus said in new test...
= keep the lords commandments. = love thy neighbor as thyself.
A man cannot truly love what was never there to begin with nor can his heart hold that place until one learns.
There by saying you have your branches of churches who lie and or do not know what scripture is or rather choose not to teach it because they want to keep an audience.
If a real man wanted truth they would head to a traditional church. However that church is isolated from society.
A contemperary church is one with a big crowd and entertainment.
Surely to maintain one must hold peace with its members also counciling them during times of struggle? = that question I ask to pastors and my own.
Here are the things I have done... please note not to repeat exactly in order.
1. I read scripture. 2. I think = does it reflect who I am and others. 3. I tossed it out knowing it would return to my hands stronger than decision. 4. I grew up with a church compared to that of a family that does not teach. 5. I learned more. 6. Convicted knowing myself. 7. Do you let the world forgive you. If God forgives you and man.why not you? 8. I sought knowing understanding and more than I could handle with eyes. 9. Observe them and wait for that time to know a world for what it is.
Though influenced a man in a way... he follows not a man unless he has lived the life and can back up the scripture to go with it.
I have seen most people are those who have committed wrong in their life and or have suffered a deal of persecution. Such a sadness lingers.
Anyway... I must get over this and state that every religion and or practice will teach a man to hurt or kill however if you look closely at the context it will say the opposite if one pays attention to its meaning.
But look at the principles which define a man with a quality that no man has.
A man can have faith. What is so without works? A man can have works. What is that without faith? A man can love and still do bad at works. A man can love but his faith is incorrect. A man has not love and his heart is desperately wicked = inheritance/life.
Do we each notice a picture or does the world choose a lack of caring for an individual including their own unless they get what they want?
Some have converted. Others chrisianed unto death. Some choose the wrong motives.
I should say... my argument is clear here. I back up by saying my statements here and now.
Below is a theological make up of what I see in how people think. (please do not add or take away from scripture.) (also the apocrypha was in the middle but not a part of the books.)
I know them = Genesis to a generation They know me = those who believe They disobeyed = man kind Then they followed. = Jesus a godly example I know them broken inside. = God's broken emotion They knew me and reject me. = Jesus the son Still I accepted who one was a man . = Jesus Despite the fact a man at its core. = argument with love One is made whole through sacrifice. = result of disobedience a man The suffering is sacrifice. = the result and learning to follow Servitude is sacrifice = to follow order. Murder is sacrifice but punishable with reasons = life and death. Shame and guilt is left within knowing wrong. = the recognization of self Are you guilty with result or innocence = argument with reason What say you to one who lies in truth? = argument of corruption I say to you you have twisted it. = result of corruption. If a man thought as the Lord the world knows not... = man does not know God They will seek but will not find = searching and strife on the world.
I ask not to be rude... but to continue this one could spend forever on the list of theological and or scriptual reasons.
I must put this as a close as for an introduction. But that will give people some insight and or what I know or somewhat believe as a 19 year old. That is all.

Name: Drew Age Range: 13-20 Religion/Belief System (or a lack of thereof): I don't formally identify with any, but my influences, and inevitably my knowledge, are more or less limited to Christianity and Buddhism. Anything Else You Want to Add: I don't really remember how I came to the conclusion that all religion is troublesome and unnecessary, but in recent years I've taken an interest in philosophy and travelled to a few countries. This has led me to a lot of questioning. I'm here to learn more than I am to debate, but hopefully I'll do a lot a both. sweatdrop
