: I have a suggestion. The name of this board is world religion, not quote the bible. So could we please do with fewer quotes! Also, Im would like to get more input on other world religions like the name of the board suggests, not just christianity!! I understand that most of the users here are christians, but lets be creative, like Collin tried to do. Religion facinates me because almost everyone on earth who has ever lived has had a faith. WHY! Also, how can one group of people argue anything against an other group with different religions based on religion?? THIS MAKES NO SENSE!! How can you logically argue belief?? WARS ARE FOUGHT OVER THIS IGNORANCE!! PEOPLE DIE!! Please explain why.
Dear Jason,
It makes perfect sense when a person has been lost, has been ignorant, has been in darkness, and then finds the Light, that (s)he would then proclaim what has been found.
Jesus says: (Matt 13:44-46) "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it."
When a person has found the Pearl of Great Price, why would (s)he be silent about it?
When the Pharisees tried to silence Christ's disciples, Jesus said to them (Luke 19:40): "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the very stones would immediately cry out."
Come, Jason, discover what millions of people for centuries have discovered about Jesus.
