I am in agreement with Becky. Due to the fact that our new President Donald Trump opening displays discrimination towards other religions, it makes it difficult for people to remember the big picture. Everyone should be considered equal, despite the color of their skin or religious preference. Trump often promotes more division amongst people…[Read more]

Personally, I do believe that people in America could conduct an event, even though the world is currently in a religious/political uproar. I think that this type of event would have a great impact on our nation. When people come together as a collective group, people are often able to set aside their differences. I do not have any objections to…[Read more]

Naiya, you stated that God has you written in the book of life. Do you believe that every individual is guaranteed eternal life after death? Also, how have you come to a conclusion about the book of life? Will all Christians and followers of God receive eternal life, once the rapture takes place?

I believe that if I was still living during the time that the world ends, that I would want to be around my immediate family for comfort and support. I feel as though that I would be scared and frighten of what would happen next, I would want to know if I’m going to heaven or hell. Yes, I would definitely ask for God’s forgiveness. I do not feel…[Read more]

Tsebaot, do you feel as though as you become older and your life is more fast pace, that it is harder to be consistent and make time to fast Wednesdays and Fridays? Basically, I am asking is it becoming more difficult to follow the Ethiopian Orthodox, as you progress throughout life?

Personally, I do feel as though many Christians have strayed away from the tradition of fasting and avoiding eating meat on Fridays. I believe that in today’s society people are more focused on their occupation and making money to support their families. But on the other hand, their are some Christians who diligently practice fasting on a weekly…[Read more]

Ryan, I believe that parents should stop influencing their child and allow them to decide their own religious path around the age of thirteen. I believe at this age an individual has a clear understanding of religion and can began to make their own decision pertaining their religious beliefs.

I believe that parents should allow their child to choose their own religion. Personally, I grew up in a very religious household. But in saying this, my parents did not force Christianity upon my siblings and I. Religion was simply explained to us in a way that we could comprehend and relate to our personal lives. Furthermore, I do not believe…[Read more]

I am in agreement with Mary’s statement. Abiding by God’s rules is a personal choice made by an individual. God allows people to have freewill, whether or not to follow him or not to follow him. The sole purpose of the bible is to guide followers of God until the day he returns. God has already made it known that the rapture will take place,…[Read more]

I do not believe that it matters when the rapture will take place. It is imperative for Christians to live right and be guided based on what the bible says. I do believe this is fair because if people knew the exact time that the rapture would take place then people would not strive to live a life that is pleasing in God’s sight. In God’s supreme…[Read more]

In the Good News Gospel Message video it explains that the purpose for hell is to serve justice to wrong doers. I am in agreement with this because if there was only just heaven then people would not obey and follow God’s commandments. It would not be fair for people who on a daily basis abide by God’s rules and try to maintain a religious life.…[Read more]

I am in agreement with Anthony and Karissa. The bible presents a clear understanding of salvation. The scriptures John 3:16 and Acts 2:21 both explain that if trust and belief in God is expressed by an individual that eternal life and salvation will be the ultimate outcome. This blog post provides a detailed explanation of salvation along with…[Read more]

Shane, I agree that Narnia and the bible are both stories but I think this is probably the only relation between these two. I believe people are trying to make too many connections to religious context.

I believe children with different religions should be allowed to express their religious beliefs with one another, if it is done in a respectful way. But I do not think that they should use their religion to influence each other.

I agree with Danny’s father position against Pete’s quest because I feel as though Pete is to young to have a full…[Read more]

I am also in agreement with Paula and Mary. I do not feel that the Narnia movie depicts any form of Christianity. In order for an individual to see any form of Christianity in this movie they would have to evaluate and dig deeper for biblical similarities. Personally, I do not feel that Narnia should be advertised as a Christian book. In addition,…[Read more]
