QUOTE(RAWRstephishere @ Nov 2 2007, 06:38 PM)  Prove there is a God. I'm creating this thread to see if I myself can try to answer questions that question or even contradict myself and the religion that I believe in. Here's how it goes, all of you ask me questions about Christianity, and I'll try my best to answer them with the little theological knowledge that I know. |

Not because he can feel mighty, but because he IS high and mighty. BTW, I'll get back to you guys on the other question tonight. I'm trying to think of a metaphor of some sort to help you guys understand my point of view. |

No, but they will fail you or they will take you to jail. Plain and simple. God has the power to condemn you to hell, so he will. The Government doesn't do that nor your teachers because they don't have the power to. |
