After all, according to Christianity, Jesus is 'The Son of God'- and not just spiritually, philosophically or 'in a manner of speaking' either- the whole faith revolves around the notion that God directly, personally, and physically, impregnated the Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus, knocking her up with his child. And the fact of the matter is that, when he's supposed to have done so, and engaged in his little baby-making session with the Virgin Mary- shortly after her betrothal to Joseph, but before the consummation of their marriage, in accordance with ancient Jewish custom- Mary could have been as young as 12, and would have definitely been no older than 14. As such, since their God supposedly had sex with (raped in her sleep really, since her consent was never asked for, and she was only informed second-hand by an angel the next morning, telling her to "Rejoice, for last night you were impregnated by God's seed, and will soon bear his son!"), and impregnated, a 12-14yo girl- well then, wouldn't that canonically make the God of Christianity a pedophilic child-rapist, since he explicitly raped the 12-14yo Mary in her sleep to conceive Jesus Christ? Wouldn't that make Jesus the product of pedophilic rape?

Do you think that God turns certain sinners over to a reprobate mind? If so, which just certain sinners and not sinners of other types? Sins against the body are worse than other sins and there is scripture to show this.

I think that God turns over unbelievers and sexually immoral over to a reprobate mind but only after constantly enjoying their sin and no heart to change. I struggle with sexual sin but have a heart to change.

Would it be a scary thing to witness God giving unbelievers, sexually immoral or other sinners over to a reprobate mind so that they truly can't come to the knowledge of the love of Jesus?

Please share your spiritual understanding of people given over to a reprobate mind!

I know of a group greating a program to help people get to a better place. For example, someone who was abused, fell into human trafficking, fell out of society in some way... will provide them emotional healing resources, retraining in life skills and help them to re-establish their life so they can be a functionign part of soceity.

It is based upon Christianity and run by such people, not from govt funds.

Would you utilize or do you know someone that would utilize such a service?

Think about it! So many people claim to be sure of what they believe but when pressed about it, they actually don't really believe what they say they do. They think they have a pure understanding of what they believe but when explained, they realize they really didn't believe this. This is not only in spirituality but in other aspects of their beliefs. Thinking you believe something also doesn't mean you actually indeed do believe it. This is something which occurs plenty of times.

People plenty of times say they believe in a certain political stance but learn later what the stance fully entails, then are not really in recognition of their initial stance. Many people in the spiritual beliefs field will say they believe in the power of prayer or the Holy Ghost but really aren't in recognition or living by their beliefs. The same can be said in people who claim to believe no God exists but really do when they actually are told who God is in a more advanced way like energy and abstainer like purposes. I've caught people who were out of recognition of what they claimed to believe. have you?

Why do some people claim to believe things they don't or do not live up to their beliefs?

Please share your deepest spiritual thoughts about why some people don't actually recognize what it is that they actually believe! This seems to happen with over 75% of people I encounter.

Do you think that people are given dreams by God according to where they are in their current spiritual life or lack thereof?

Can God give both the theistic person and the atheistic person pretty similar dreams? If so, how will each likely interpret these dreams to mean? Maybe certain dreams are given to show people what they need to do should they be struggling with atheistic thoughts, how to grow spiritually or battling against sexual impureness! We never know who will learn and growth from their dream life when they face wakefulness later. Do you think sometimes people can be given dreams by Satan when God no longer feels they are in a spiritual state of growth and just allows Satan to use them how he sees fit in dream. I'm very curious on this issue!

Please share your thoughts about who is given dreams according whether they are righteous or unrighteous!

Believe it or not, there is absolute proof that the atheist can't live by their claimed view using science, spirituality and the combinations of logic and sexual structure.

Psalm 139:13-16, Acts 17:26-27 and Roman 1:19-21,23 all refutes the confrontational claims. There is more than a spirit case against it. We have science against it. We have the breath of life and the DNA of life, which both accounts for a creation foundation.

We have logic and sexual structure too. It is logical to assess that nothingness never results in something no matter how much time or temperature is applied. Sexual structure shows atheism fails. Any species with a male and female sex to them can't survive into a stage to evolution itself into another. Therefore, multiple sexes living disproves evolution.

So my first semester, i got caught up in this church called "ICC" (it's a cult, i left it months ago, don't go to it) and on my way to becoming a member, they wanted me to give money for offering, mission trips and expanding the ministry. However, I told them i had no job, my parents are pretty tight with their money and the only money i did get was only for lunch. They then told me that "Americans THINK they know what it means to be poor, but if you went across the world to poorer countries. You would realize you couldn't be any further from the truth. So all we're asking that you ask your parents for AT LEAST $5 a week. And when God blesses you with a job, you could give $10, $15 or even $20 a week". So eventually i found a way of getting money by taken a dollar a day out of my lunch to have $5. And i told them how i got the money and they told me that I was being prideful because I didn't ask for more money. It's not that i didn't want to give because i did. But i didn't think i could. Do you think i was being prideful?

As many historians were the 1st century, many have concluded that Mary Magdalene was likely a prostitute and she set her eyes mainly on our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many people thought she was a whore. Do you agree or disagree with their view? No, Christ nor Magdalene are surnames. Magdalene meant from where she was from and Christ meant His title in the God-head.

Since she had 7 powerful demons inside of her (I personally believe all 7 of the demons cast out were all strong, and hopefully no more were in her), I can't help to imagine that some of these demons were very well inflicting her with sexual lust. We see this demon in today's people. SO it would be no surprise that demons do their best and hardest work ideally in the areas of unbelief, sexual immorality and violence inflicted.

Please share your views about what Mary Magdalene's relationship was to Jesus!

Yes, I know there are technically the possibility that you can think one is more plausible but believe in the less plausible view but it makes no sense. If you think one is more plausible than the other, it makes more sense to go with the one you find more plausible. That's why I nailed down these choices.

Even if you don't believe in one of them and you believe in Evolutionism, you still would feel one is more plausible than the other assuming you didn't think they were the same thing as they have different views.

Here are the views to help you decide and listed in alphabetical order to show no bias about it:

Please read each of these if you aren't sure exactly of what they teach about. All of them hold a certain belief about how the universe began.

Well we mostly agree that Lucifer was real and was God's most beautiful angel and very talented in the music field. There is a great following after Lucifer, who has since been mainly known as Satan since he was thrown out of Heaven for his vanity.

I believe about 65% of the world believe that Lucifer or Satan is a real spiritual being. I know, before you start, popularity doesn't mean it is true. It also doesn't mean it is false either. So assuming you are in the agreement part, just how beautiful was Lucifer's singing? Do you think it was so glorious that God was very amazed and that God giving Lucifer such high praise got to Lucifer's ego and started warring against God?

It is no wonder that so many seculars listens to the music that is often filled with the things of the world, be it sexual, drunkenness, violence or divorce. Is this unknowingly adherence to Satan?

Please share your views on how glorious you think Satan's singing in Heaven was!

A Naturalism view holds that only the natural world exists or that we can only know that the natural world exist. Of course there are 2 varieties of Naturalism:

Philosophical Naturalism: This is the stronger view that only the natural world has explanations and there are no answers except by the natural world. It's basically the position that the supernatural world does not exist.

Methodological Naturalism: This is the weaker of the views. It is basically being unconvinced that there is a supernatural world and it is not withdrawing the possibility that the supernatural does exist, but will be unconvinced until proven to exist or to a stronger degree, shown extreme evidence it exists. It is not ruling out that the supernatural could provide answers.

So if you hold to naturalism, which form? Most people who claim to be atheists holds to the methodological view of naturalism, which is being unconvinced of the supernatural but not ruling out that it can't exist.

Please share your views on Naturalism! Also, if you think there is a spiritual world, explain why!

Does catholic or other churches still circumsize? if not where does it occur?

Do you think it's as dumb if not evil as I do?

The RULE:
Let's cut a little boys private part because of our belief passed down generations ago.

What are your views on the length of time that an afterlife exist? I think all afterlives are eternal. Do you think so too?

If you don't trust there is an afterlife, then which length if time is it more likely to be: temporal or eternal?

If it is impossible for an afterlife to exist, why so? If it is unproven thus far that they exist, which steps may we move into to go about solving it and trying to prove they do or don't exist?

Please share what you think!

Let me know if you think that only exorcists can have the power to cast out demons in the name of Jesus or if others can have this power!

Just how necessary is it to learn the dangers of demon possession? Please share your views on exorcisms!
