Why The Christian Faith?

[SPIKE_CSA]

If thats the case, then the magi could have started their travel much much earlier than the expected date of birth.
Why not? If beggars can stay on the street for years, how much more on a manger for a month? Lets just say there was Divine intervention.

mao ni akong giingon nga dapat jud ta mo base sa bible ug dili lng sa "LETS JUST SAY"

ug wa intawn to ni travel ang magi much much earlier than the expected date of birth. kahibaw ka when? ang bible nag ingon nga ni travel ang magi the moment they saw the "bethlehem star". ug nakahibaw ka na ana nga ang "bethlehem star" nigawas the moment nga gi-anak si Jesus Christ.

ug okay ka lng ana nga mo stay si Joseph ug si Mary sa manger in one month? unsay tan-aw nimo ni Mary bogo? haha of course not. pagkahuman niya gi anak si Jesus Christ ni uli intawn sila sa ilang "house"

MATTHEW 2:11 - On coming to the "HOUSE", they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.

[mayet]

nganong nilamoy man ka anang three kings nga niduaw sa manger? nga kahibaw man unta ka nga ang kanang magi gikan sa east, ug ang pag travel gikan sa east padung sa bethlehem mo take gud na ug pila ka months.

now do you think si Joseph ug Mary mo stay sa "manger" maski one month man lng? gamita kuno inyong common sense.

pero kay mao man ang gisulti sa inyong pari, aw lamoy lng sad mo. pagkalooy biya ninyo oi. mga bright man unta mo pero wa man ninyo gamita inyong utok.

WAKE UP!!!!

It's not 3 kings as what we used to teach, it is 3 Wise Men. sakto si Spike, gikan sa East and dili na sya moabot sa bethlehem overnight. lolx. pila pa ka months gyud. Probably, nakita sa mga 3 wise men si Jesus Christ naa na sya sa year old na.

Go back sa mga Christians, do not hate the people guys. If makita mo ug Christian na ngil-ad batasan, ayaw ninyo basola ang Christianity.. that person is still under construction. Kita tanan under construction pa ta.. God is working in our lives each day. We are here with a purpose.

Instead na ato sila awayon, let's pray for them.. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you should love him and love your neighbors. Ayaw sila awaya kay ikaw mismo naay sala sab. Patience is a virtue.

right! but why to condemn your misguided members? arent you suppose to show love for them?

it is not the Christians that condemn people, or as you have placed it "misguided members" but God himself has judged (for He is the only one who can do that) and condemned them to damnation but because He is love... he sent His only Son to show us love that even His own son, He is willing to send him to the wolves den to be offered as a sacrifice for us to be saved....

Religion does not save people, Only Jesus Christ does... so no matter what religion you belong to, as long as you have accepted Jesus as you personal Lord and Saviour... it wouldn't matter... you'll be saved...

and by the way... not all change happens in a snap of a finger... some takes years, others take minutes... but the one thing there that really happens is that there will be change...

Mark 16:16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

John 5:24
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

..i admire Jesus Christ ...he is simply awesome...but i have also read the teachings of other "religions"...buddhism for one is also very beautiful....it is not fair to just sing praises about Christianity when we are not well informed about the other philosophies...

personally i believe all God's messengers ( Jesus, Mohammad, Krishna etc) all preached one common teaching LOVE. Sa mga followers na lang jud nag kalandrakas because of interpretations and the idea of being BETTER than the other faiths....

but you also have to ask... which "god" is that... buddhism has hundreds of gods, so does the hindus... if you talk about comparing Mohammed, Krishna with Jesus... you have to think of the one thing that separates them all... all of them died and stayed dead... Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead... and this is not something that only 2 or 3 individuals have witnessed but a lot... even most historians acknowledge these events because of all the eyewitnesses...

naa man mga perfecto nga tao dri. just because they know so much about the bible they think they have the right to judge, or to say whatever they want to.
if naa mga bad people sa RC church its not the fault of the church. do you think everyone in you group is a good person. hah. dont think so. it doesnt mean kung naa imu mga pasaway nga member doesnt mean kami tanan sa RC Church pasaway napud. kanang mga tawhana kay uneducated ra na sila.
