where did you get that from???
He was the high priest of the Satanic church of the United States. Apparently he also castrated his own son in one of the satanic rituals. His son has become a Christian pastor since. -
Satanists also believe in God right?Originally posted by Chin Eng: where did you get that from???

Satanists, like other religions and cults, believe in some form of God, but that does not qualify them to be Christians as you had stated in your opening posts. Would you classify people who worships Allah as Christians?Originally posted by F Takumi:Satanists also believe in God right? -
My bad. You may also want to make a point to educate people here not to mention phenomenons/miracles of other religions and claim as Act of God.Originally posted by Chin Eng:Satanists, like other religions and cults, believe in some form of God, but that does not qualify them to be Christians as you had stated in your opening posts.

well..it is really up to u...u can always believe ur god send u miracles/phenomenons...Originally posted by F Takumi:My bad. You may also want to make a point to educate people here not to mention phenomenons/miracles of other religions and claim as Act of God.
nobody will dispute that....just believe in what u want to believe.... -
i dunno, i see that as being rather hypocrital. surely god appears to many in other forms. their god most probably is your god. whats the point in putting other religions down? my stand is that i believe in god, but i don't believe in christianity because humans invented and tainted christianity.Originally posted by laoda99:well..it is really up to u...u can always believe it is a miracle from ur god...

whats the point of arguing?
when your day comes you will have the answer. -
are all faiths in the world fundamentally the same? I seriously doubt so...it is always a convenient way to say:"all roads lead to rome" without even knowing the different faiths....just like some pple can say Krishna is Jesus...they will believe what they want to believe....even "I AM" also can become "AUM" just becoz they sound the same.....Originally posted by HENG@:i dunno, i see that as being rather hypocrital. surely god appears to many in other forms. their god most probably is your god. whats the point in putting other religions down? my stand is that i believe in god, but i don't believe in christianity because humans invented and tainted christianity.

its true.Originally posted by laoda99:which scriptures is not handwritten by man? then men have tainted all faiths i have suppose...
this fact is documented in history. -
it is true. that is why i don't subscribe to any faith. and while not all faiths are the same, isn't the 1 rule of all mainstream faith the same? to be pure, righteous, good, and love your god?Originally posted by laoda99:are all faiths in the world fundamentally the same?

faith is something that does not need proof. i.e. you can believe anything, anyway you want!!! -
where's the common ground?Originally posted by HENG@:main faiths. eg hinduism, judaism etc

Hinduism = many gods/god comes in different forms.
Judaism=one god.
pure of heart? u sure it's possible? completely? -

well and this is where all faiths feel they are the right thing. except that some of them are less arrogant and in-you-face about.Originally posted by laoda99:most important=faith in the right thing... -
u are right...we are all screwed sinners...that's why we need to have Christ...Originally posted by HENG@:if its not possible completely, then christians are as screwed as any other religion.
nobody ever said just becoz a person is a christian, he is not a sinner... -
to any believer their believe is the right thing.Originally posted by laoda99:most important=faith in the right thing...
actually all religion points to the same GOD. history and men made it different. -
pple can believe in what they want, like dragg says...even wicca...u can treat it like a religion....u can even dabble in the occult/witchcraft..Originally posted by HENG@:well and this is where all faiths feel they are the right thing. except that some of them are less arrogant and in-you-face about.
but at the end of the road...we are all responsible for our own choices...so one shld never say "GOD is cruel"...becoz all of us have choices... -
but GOD is indeed cruel.Originally posted by laoda99:pple can believe in what they want, like dragg says...even wicca...u can treat it like a religion....u can even dabble in the occult/witchcraft..

the old testament shows how often He kills. -
yes but only to christians do u need christ. to peoples of other faith, there are other ways of atoning for their sins. like i said... arrogance...Originally posted by laoda99:u are right...we are all screwed sinners...that's why we need to have Christ...
