For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” (The words of the Holy Spirit through Paul the Apostle, recorded in Acts 17:28-31)

 

I beseech you, friend, to repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ, whom God resurrected from the dead on the third day after He bore our sins on the cross. Obey the gospel (Romans 10:16) and do what is right in the sight of God through the empowering grace He gives to those who believe in Him, whom He has given the right to be the sons and daughters of God. (John 1:12)

I do appreciate your comment, but do please take note that I am an Atheist who believes in science and the theory of evolution and the Big Bang theory. Although I do not share your belief, I respect that you do believe in God and his son. But please, do not try to convert me. I am happy as I am.

I hope you have a good day and life!

Evolution breaks my heart in that I know it is a lie. It is so obvious that many intelligent designs require an intelligent designer behind them. It is obvious that men give birth to men, apes give birth to apes, birds give birth to birds, and fish give birth to fish. But it's hard to argue with someone who resists the truth of such obvious facts. So if you are such a woman, can I rather plead with you to study the design of a cell? To study the way an eye functions? To study DNA and brave waves and whatever else it takes to convince you that there is intelligence behind each of these designs?

You are not a product of random chance or of chemicals. You do not descend from apes. God made you, He breathed life into you, He loved you enough to send His Son to die for you so that you could live according to His design rather than contrary to it. There is a higher law than the law of gravity, it is known as "the law of love." In James this law is known as "the royal law." Your Creator is love. This hatred, this slander, this envy, this malice, this revenge, this lust, this covetousness, this thanklessness, this pride, this lying, and so on does not reflect your Creator but your fallen nature which you must repent of yielding to, and begin to yield yourself to God instead. He has given you grace to always do what which is pleasing in His sight, will you rather deny His existence to justify your sins against Him and other human beings?

Deep down in your heart I know that you were always longing to be loved unconditionally. God loves you that way. He loves you even knowing all the sins you've committed, even knowing your deepest darkest secrets. If you've done things that have made you feel dirty inside, come to Him and to His Word so that you can be purified. Confess, repent, and humble yourself to ask for grace to obey and live in a holy way.

You tell me "don't try to convert me, I'm fine the way I am, I'm happy." Are you? Are you happy when there is constant strife and contention in your life? Are you happy when you try at least to be loved conditionally by those in your life yet you continually fail to meet their conditions and though you've tried to do better, you can't? Are you happy when you lie about certain things to protect your own skin and when those you lie to find out they say "I don't know if I can ever trust you again." Are you happy living in rebellion to your Creator? Because even if you are, you won't be for long. The wages of sin is death and eternal torment in hell.

God desires for you to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, and His Word is the truth. He wouldn't lie to you. Men would, but God cannot do so. It isn't in His nature. Lying and murder and hatred are of Satan. He is the accuser, the thief, the destroyer. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the lover of your soul, the justifier of all those who call upon Him no matter how ungodly they are. He is the edifier, the author and the finisher of our faith. He gives us all we need for life and godliness. I pray that you would repent of whatever sins you have in your life (I don't know what they are, so where I listed sin, it was a generic list) and believe in Jesus and choose to live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (every Word that is recorded in the Bible.)

I hope you find the hope I have found which is found only in Christ!

I was raised in a Christian household. I have read the entire bible, front to back. I was taught to love God and fear Satan and all that. And then I discovered science. As I read through science related articles, I learned that science is more believable than an all powerful being creating everything from nothingness. I respect that you believe in God and his teachings, and all I am asking from you is to respect that I do not believe in the same faith as you. My best friend, whom I consider a sister, is a very devout Christian and she has not once tried to convert me. That because she respects my belief in science, and I respect her belief in God.

I have studied the design of a Cell. I have researched the functions of the eye. DNA and brainwaves are something I have studied as well, as I have taken many a science class. Biology, Anatomy, Physical Earth Science, Chemistry, and Astronomy, in fact. I have studied many things that make up the world we know it, and I have, in fact, tried to take a religious viewpoint on the subjects before. I have studied, closely, many things that would be called God’s Creation, and I still believe that science is more understandable.

I do not wish to be loved unconditionally. I wish to be loved only by the people I care about. Beyond that, I only wish to be respected by others. Something you are clearly not doing by trying to convert me, even after I said I didn’t want to convert.

And yes, I am happy. I will tell you again. There cannot be happiness without strife, and that much is very clear. If I try to be loved by someone, and I don’t meet their expectations, then that’s their loss. I will not grieve for someone whom I have tried for and lost. I will except what happened and move on. Yes, I have lied to save my own skin. But I will tell you that I have lied to save the skin of those I care about more. If someone wises up to those lies and says “I don’t think I can ever trust you again.”, then let them. I only do it to protect those I care about.

And if this is considered a “rebellion” against my “Creator”, and that I will go to Hell for it, then I guess I’m already there. The bible says that Homosexuality is a sin, correct? Well, I’m bisexual. So no matter what I do, I’m going to Hell anyway.

Once again, I shall ask you nicely to please not try to convert me. I will not try to convert you to science. I will not try to make you stop believing in what you believe. I will respect that you believe in God and his son. Please, all I am asking is for you to do the same and to respect my beliefs, as I do yours.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them (both through science and through Scripture, God has showed Himself to you). For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things (apes and amoebas). Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God ( as recorded in the Bible ) into a lie (for example, into the lying theories known as Evolution and the Big Bang), and worshipped and served the creature (creature can also be translated creation here, or 'nature' or 'science' which is mostly a study of natural things ) more than the Creator (who made these things), who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: ( this, I believe, is the reason for your bisexuality, the fact that God has given you up to vile affections since you have chosen to worship science and His own creation He made rather than Him ) men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

(Romans 1:18-32)

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

(Matthew 5:46-48)

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,  nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified,

but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (the truth is, everybody is going to hell anyway because we've all sinned against God. Homosexuality is neither a greater nor lesser sin that other sins such as lying, etc. Whatever the sin is, the wages of it are still death. The truth of the matter is that if we are willing to repent of whatever our sins are, Jesus is willing to cleanse us of all unrighteousness and give us grace to live lives that are pleasing in His sight. But if you are unwilling to repent, though He desires to save you, you were not willing so He will not violate your will. This too is why I think it is so silly that you keep telling me not to try to convert you. I can't force you to convert, nor would I want you to. This is something you must do from your own heart, and if you are not willing to do so then, it is your eternal destiny on the line, not mine. What sort of friend would I be to you if I didn't tell you the truth of these things and then you were in torment in hell for all eternity because I respected your request that I not tell you the truth of these matters? Now if I told you and you didn't believe me, at least I told you. But if I never told you, that would be very selfish of me, to let you burn in hell without giving you a single warning.)

(1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. ( by professing these 'oppositions of science falsely so called', you have erred concerning the faith. Macro-evolution is not true science because it is neither observable nor reasonable. To say men come from apes is like saying that from a fig tree you can gather grapes. The Big Bang, that an orderly universe can come from an explosion? You've got to be kidding me if you think that is science. That's like saying you can go drop a bomb on a home and expect a village to arise out of that. Explosions destroy and cause disorder, not order. Whatever science it is you are believing, it is not real science, and why should I respect a belief that has no basis in reality? Of course these theories are about things that happened billions of years ago, and we all could speculate what happened, but none of us were there. I believe what Genesis chapters 1 and 2 say because God WAS there and He knows what went down to get this world started. Clearly science is your religion, and your savior is this theory of evolution, because it saves you from having to face the fact that you will be judged by God one day soon. )

I would like to point out a couple of things before I continue. First of all, I still knew I was bisexual way before I discovered science. So, your previous statement of him giving me up to these “vile affections” because I believed in science becomes questionable. (I, myself, do not believe them to be vile. Love is love, be it with two men or two girls. It shouldn’t matter who it is with.)

And the Big Bang Theory is just that. A Theory. It isn’t set in stone. There are many other theories out there that try to explain the creation of the universe that I, too, have studied quite closely. To me, the Big Bang is the one I lean towards the most, but I am not excluding the rest from the equation. This does include the chance of a Creator. (I do believe there is a term for this. Agnostic, I believe? I think it means that though I don’t believe in God or deities, I am not dismissing them as a possibility. Don’t quote me, though, as I am speaking from memory. I am the type of person who need concrete evidence that something exists before me to believe it. And when I die, there are two outcomes: Either I die not knowing the true origins of myself and the universe, or I go to heaven or hell, which will give me the evidence I need to believe. And if I go to hell for it, then so be it. I’ve always been the type of person who learns the hard way.)

And I could say the same to you, in the prospect of your statement in 1 Timothy 6:20-21. You say that “Why should I respect a belief that has no basis in reality?”. In my standpoint, I can throw that statement back at you. From your point of view, God is the creator and he is the truth. That is your reality. From my standpoint, I find it really hard to believe in a God and an all powerful creator. I find that science is more believable. That is my reality. Our realities are different. And I still respect yours, no matter how many people try to shove it in my face. (I am not saying you’re are shoving it in my face. It’s just that others have before, and it was greatly unpleasant.)

Your concern for me is well appreciated. I can tell you are a very nice person whom, I believe, under the right circumstance (such as the comment you left on my Transformers OC picture), could become a good friend in time. Maybe after this whole debate we are having is over, we can start over? You have warned me of the consequences, as have many other Christians I have met, and I have made my choice.

Please, let us just end this whole wall of text we are making on my profile. Let us just respect our differences and move on, and maybe even become friends through something else (Maybe a shared fandom?). And if we cannot find anything in common, then let us just move on with our lives.

Perhaps then being bisexual is part of your fallen, unredeemed nature that each of us is born with. Regardless, the point is, each of us must be saved from "this body of death" known as the flesh (which refers not to your physical body, but your sinful nature), for without God we are all slaves to some kind of sin.

Anything that goes contrary to God (seeing as God is love) cannot be love and must then be lust. For example, say a married woman falls in love with another man who is not her husband and has sex with him behind her husbands back. Is that not lust? Is that not completely contrary to love? Say a man falls in love with his sister, rapes her, and then decides he hates her and sends her out of his presence rather than doing what he could to make things right between them. Was that not lust? If a teenage boy convinces his girlfriend to have sex with him in highschool, then later breaks up with her and moves on to the next girl. Was that not lust? Homosexuals, fornicators, adulterers, may all call what they have with their partner 'love' but God sees it for what it is "unbridled lust" and for this they will be judged, because only the marriage bed (between one man and one woman) is undefiled. Lust is impatient, lust is mean, lust envies, lust parades itself, lust is puffed up with pride, lust is rude, lust is self-seeking, lust is easily provoked to anger, lust thinks all kinds of evil things about its partner, lust rejoices in iniquity and does not rejoice in the truth of God's Word, etc. Lust always fails.

I thought it was odd how you said "love is love, be it with two men or two girls." Not even listing the possibility of love between a man and a woman. The truth of the matter is, I used to be bisexual too. Before I was a Christian, I didn't see anything wrong with homosexuality. Sometimes I wished I would have been born a man, and I felt guilty when I liked a girl. My favorite characters to write were always men. It was a turning point in my life when I prayed to God saying "you made me a woman, and I want to be the woman you made me to be." God purged me of the lust I had in my heart before, which was a lust towards both men and women. Yes, I could submit myself to such lust again, but I choose rather to submit myself to love, not what you call love, but what God calls love. He has commanded us to love even our enemies unconditionally. Love is... entirely different than what we see between most couples. For "Love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own (benefit), is not provoked, thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." Where this love that is based on obedience to God's Word is absent, divorce, fights, hatred, strife, sexual immorality etc. run rampant.

And as for you turning what I said back on me, you misunderstood what I said. The Genesis account has plenty of basis in observable reality. "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good." " And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good." Each creature brings forth after it's own kind, and this is something I can observe, I can observe that a female deer gives birth to fawns, or that a frog gives birth to tadpoles, that a chicken gives birth to chicks, and so on. What I cannot observe neither in the daily functions of the world today nor in the fossil record is any sign that one species can evolve out of another. The fossil record has no transitional forms. Why should we suppose that women didn't give birth to men from the beginning of the world, as Genesis tells us? What evidence is there contrary to this? It is not my reality that deer give birth to deer, it is reality period. And it is a fable to think that men can evolve from apes. If that can happen, why do we not see this in the fossil record? Why do we not see this sort of thing still happening today? There's really nothing in the Genesis account that you don't see today. You see the greater light (the sun) and the lesser light (the moon) and you see the stars also. You see that the earth is still bringing forth grass, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself. I can observe all of these things. If Genesis said fruit trees could just yield any sort of fruit at any given moment, then I would say, that doesn't reflect reality. But no, Genesis says they yield each according to their kinds, and they have seeds within themselves, and apple trees really do yield apples and there really are seeds in apple trees that you can plant to get more apple trees. If you are saying that the fact that apple trees bring forth apples and that deer bring forth fawns is "my reality" then you are out of touch with reality. Also, if you look at DNA, you see that each thing in the earth has its own type of DNA, there is one type of DNA for a man, another type for a monkey, another type for a tree, and so on. And the DNA has very complex instructions that can tell you much about the person it belongs to, such as eye color, gender, possible diseases you may be susceptible to, and so on. Genesis even testifies of the fact there is day and night, and elsewhere in the Bible, God talks about how as long as the earth exists the seasons will continue as they are: seedtime and harvest, etc. "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease." (Genesis 8:22). If the sun didn't rise tomorrow, then that would cast doubt on the Bible, because the Bible makes it clear that the sun will rise daily. You have your evidence, in creation, compare what the Bible says about how the creation functions, to how you can actually observe it functioning, and tell me that what it says has "no basis in reality." If an observable explosion really did cause order, then maybe I would consider that the Big bang theory might have "basis in reality." But it is not so. If there were transitional forms in the fossil record, maybe then I would consider that the theory that one species can evolve from another might have "basis in reality." But it is not so.

As for the rest of what you said here, I will leave that up to God. I believe He led me to your page, so wherever this conversation leads, is more His concern than mine.

Just because I didn’t list the possibility of love between a man and woman doesn’t mean that such love is excluded. Like I said before. Love is love, be it with a man and woman, a man and man, or a woman and woman. Homosexuality is not a lust based relationship. It is just like the love between a man and woman. I have many gay friends, and none of them are even remotely interested in sex. They are interested in getting along with their significant other, having fun, and having a healthy relationship.

The way you are speaking makes it sound like you think my interest in women is lust based, when it is not. If I am interested in a woman, I am interested in her personality and who she is. The same goes for if I am interested in a man. Love should be based on who you are as a person, and not based what sort of genitalia a person has.

And I did not misunderstand. There are things that exist that are solid, such as how deer give birth to fawns and how apples grow on apple trees. But your reality is based around God and that he created everything, and that he is behind everything that exists. My reality is based around science and the methodical theories on why everything works the way they do. We perceive things differently. And that doesn’t mean I am out of touch with reality.

Things described in the Genesis were and are things that the people who wrote the Bible observed. Of course things such as the sun and moon are going to be in the Bible, because the sun and moon have been in the sky since before life on Earth began. Of course the Genesis doesn’t say that the fruits trees can bear any type of fruit, because the people who wrote the Genesis observed that different trees bear different fruits. Of course the Bible states that the sun will rise daily. It’s because that is what has been observed by the people who wrote the Bible. You are trying to use the bible to prove the existence of God, which is like using a comic book to prove that Spider-man or Batman exists. It isn’t enough to prove of God. If I see an angel or Jesus himself, then I will believe. But I haven’t seen either or anything that proves that God exists. Where is my concrete proof?

And yes, different organisms have different DNA. But there is a thing called Genetic Mutations that can change DNA. The Genetic Mutations occur in animals all around the globe, including humans. Sometimes, these mutations help the creatures survive. Thus, they can then pass down the gene containing the mutation to offspring. That is how evolution works. Genetic Mutations occur in animals, changing the species over the course of years and years.

It seems that no matter how much I politely say to leave me be, you will not cease. I will ask you one more time to please stop and to leave me alone, because now you are shoving your belief in my face. You may deny that you are doing such a thing, but you are doing the exact same thing many others have done to me before. I ask you politely to not force your beliefs upon me and what do you do? You shove it in my face, telling me that I am out of touch with reality, that my sexuality is a sin (which I find extremely insulting), and basically tell me that everything I believe in is wrong.

How would you feel if I did the same? Out would you feel if I had suddenly appeared on your page, preaching out how God doesn’t exist and that you must turn to science, and you will die and nothing will happen to you afterwards? How would you feel if you had politely declined, but I kept pushing on saying that you are wrong and that everything you know is proven wrong in science textbooks and official science articles?

How would you feel if I basically insulted and disregarded everything you know? And don’t tell me that God says to forgive me. No, don’t tell me what he wants from you or what he expects from you. Tell me your feelings. Not his. Yours.

I'm going to do what Paul told Timothy and "avoid foolish and ignorant disputes/questions, knowing that they generate strife. And as a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snares of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will."

I could know nothing apart from what the Lord Himself has taught me, for "from His mouth come knowledge and understanding."

If that is what you would do, then why did you continue this? I politely told you, upon your first comment, that I am an Atheist and that I am happy the way I am. That I respect your beliefs, but to leave me be, as I do no share them. We could've avoided this whole debate if you had just respected my beliefs, as I do yours. You could've just left me alone, and maybe we could've become friends. But no, you continued to preach to me sections and articles from a book I have already read, dismissing my beliefs as something I will be sent to Hell for believing in. Do you really think I would keel over and say "Oh, it makes so much more sense. I better abandon everything I know and listen to everything you say."? No, I will not.

I cannot and will not stand for someone shoving their beliefs in my face, as you have. Any chance of you becoming a friend of mine has been lost. You insulted my sexuality, you scorned my own beliefs, and to top it off? You didn't stop. I was polite in telling you that I do not share your beliefs. I was polite in indirectly telling you to not shove it in my face. But you did shove it in my face, which was exceedingly discourteous.

I will say again. I respect your beliefs. I will not try to convert you. I will not insult or scorn your religion. You can go on and believe in what you want to believe. All I ask is that you leave me out it, as I do not share your beliefs.

I am not afraid of God’s judgement. Science is not my savior. It is just what I believe. I am not ensnared by the Devil. I am not taken captive to do the Devil’s will. I am my own self, who is curious, who makes my own decisions, who wants to try and understand the universe as much as I can, through scientific methods. And if you cannot respect that, then leave my page and never message me again.

It may be wrong, but it also has the same chance to be right. No one really knows. Whatever this event leads to is what I shall face. I've told you everything on my mind. You poked at me, and I am now done debating with you. Farewell.

You have really earned my respect for this. Seriously, not everyone can handle as situation like that with a clear head. Awesome job
My rule is that people will believe what they will believe, and that I don't have much of a right to try and make them change them. I really agree with many of your views.
Like I said, awesome job

Yes, I am working on that. I've only got Spy and Sniper finalized, though... I'm having trouble deciding what animal I should make Medic and Demo.
