War Of The Worlds Spielbergs new film...
Takumi1405241497 replied to Troubadour's topic in General Discussion
I read this book about 7 years ago and it was awesome. You will defniately like this movie if you are into the whole sci fi world. Tom Cruise and Speilberg (spelling might be wrong) are an awesome combination. I can't wait for this movie to come out. I highly reccomend this movie. It will be an exciting adventure to go on. -
The Lord of the Rings What do you think of this trilogy

When I was in 6th grade I first picked up The Hobbit and read it. The first couple of chapters were slow but after that it was an absolutely amazing tale. Once I finished The Hobbit, I discovered the Lord of the Rings trilogy and was instantly hooked. I read all three books within the next couple of weeks. A few years ago when I saw that they wre making the movies, it was like a dream come true. Almost everything in the movies were just how I had imagined it so naturally I became a big fan of the movies. The only part of the movies I didn't like was the fact that they had to leave so much out because of lack of time. Even the extended editions are missing alot. But you can only cram so much into a movie. If you enjoyed the films then you must go read the books. I can't wait until Hobbit the movie comes out. -
If I were to go through life and not believe in God what would be the purpose of my life? Would my purpose be to simply live a good life and then die? At first, I believed in God because of tradition, I grew up in a Seventh-Day-Adventist family (for those of you who don't know Seventh-Day-Adventists are a Christian based faith that believes that Saturday is the true Sabbath day and therefore worship on that day. We also believe that Ellen White was a profit and that her words were God-given). During the last few years, I have pondered this same question very intently. Why should I believe in God? I would have to say that the Bible is a big reason that I believe in God. There is an old saying that says if you want to tell whether something is true or false that the test of time is the only true way to find out. I believe this holds true for the Bible also. If the Bible was some great hoax in history than it would have been discovered by now and discredited but it hasn't been. Besides that I guess that there is too much design and grace in nature to not believe in God. The Big Bang Theory (which could be an entire other subject) is a very chaotic theory, a bunch of mass slamming into each oher by chance and creating all that we see now. Nature portrays too much organization and design to be all by chance. I will also give you a scenario. There are two men that go throughout life, the Christian and the Athiast. The Christian lives a good life and continually spreads God's word and has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Athiast lives a life without morals. He steals, he cheats, all while thinking nothing of it. They both die and years later Christ returns. The Christian goes on to live eternally and the Athiast does not. Now take the same scenario except this time there is no God and Christ does not return. The Christian still lived a good life and enjoyed life while the athiast lived a poor life without morals. It seems like a win win situation to be a Christian. Now, please don't take me wrong. I'm not saying that all Athiasts are moralless people. I know plenty of Athiasts that are good people but I still wish that they knew God like I do. I hope this answers your intro questions somewhat.

I lost a good friend in a car accident about 4 years ago. At the time I blamed God for my friend's death and had a really hard time coping with it. After a while I came to realize that it wasn't that God does or doesn't allow bad things to happen in this world. Bad things happen in this world because it is a sinful world. The result of sin is death. After I realized this I was able to lean on God for help and consolement. I hope this helps.
