whats your opinion on atheism ?

[basebool]

Do you have any friends that you consider your friend no matter what you do or not do. Can you tell this friend anything and not be condemned?
well this is who God is, You can be honest with God 100% and not ever be condemned. This is what changed my way of thinking, having a friend as this wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to me.
So today I am a responder over what I used to be was an initiator. This is not a religion at least to me, no matter we all have free choice and we all wish to be free.
So if you are free then more power to you. Yet if you are in bondage then there might be error(s) in your truth. And I do believe that truth does set one free to be caring and compassionate to all, giving consideration and not harming anyone.

The Church was God's idea, God blessed man and allowed men to write the writtings in the Bible, and God was in control over the whole thing, as a supreme guiding author to the Bible that we have.

What do u think religion is?

What do u think religion is?

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
James 1:22-27

I don't remember quoting a book i dont even believe in. I'm asking YOUR definition of religion

 

[Grey]

The Church was God's idea, God blessed man and allowed men to write the writtings in the Bible, and God was in control over the whole thing, as a supreme guiding author to the Bible that we have.

So why were some books omitted at the concil say 500 years after Jesus that decided which books would be in the bible?

And I gave it to you. If you don't like my answer, that's not my problem, but don't ask me for a different one because you're not getting it.

So why were some books omitted at the concil say 500 years after Jesus that decided which books would be in the bible?

They had a criteria for the books that made it into what we know as the Bible today. If you did some hard research, you'd know why some books were omitted and why others were included.

Seek and you shall find. I will not spoonfeed this to you just for you to turn around and say, "meh, I don't believe you." Like I said, if you actually want to know, do some research for yourself.

In other words you don't really know.

 

[Tintin]

No, in other words you're being a entitled atheist. There are plenty of good reasons why some books were excluded from the Bible. It wasn't to hide Jesus lack of divinity or some such bollocks but because the council, guided by the Holy Spirit, believed the books, while interesting, weren't inspired by God.

131. You think if a Christian won't address your arguments, they are too frightened to do so, or know they can't answer them; but if they do address your arguments, you think it is because they are "threatened" by them.
