Aug 3, 2010 - ...so complicated...

Aug 13, 2010 - Jesus also said that the world will know that he is the one the father sent by our unity (John 17). This is our greatest evangelistic witness!

franticdisposition Says:

Oct 9, 2010 - what does Peter mean when he writes about "the prophetic word"? is the Bible we have today the same that he had?

Condemnesis1 Says:

Apr 8, 2011 - I think me and Pastor Driscoll have the same bible

ultradevon04 Says:

Sep 20, 2011 - Its still really hard for me to take their word for it. There is just to much that doesn't make sense.

Oct 16, 2011 - Faith is all about experience. I think it should be "don't base your faith on proof". Anyway, some guy said he was there so everyone from then on out should trust that, and a book written by a few others who in turn had others write about what they had read? Anyone can do that. Look at the FSM. Sure, a farce now, but many may take as gospel and alter the facts. FSM could turn into an alien of sorts. Easy to do 300 years after the fact. Think people, think!

Oct 24, 2011 - You cannot prove or disprove the existance of "God". All of those claims could be fabricated. A voice from heaven could just as easily be a demon hiding in the clouds.Either you walk by FAITH, or you walk by EYES. Evidence is about your eyes. Even the booming voice from heaven is evidence and evidence can be faked.Either believe or not in FAITH. Personally, I dont. I'm not a Christian. But if you are going to be one, know the limits of evidence and either choose that or Faith.

themaverickfan Says:

Nov 23, 2011 - That would be very true if only 1 & 2 Peter were actually written by Peter...

Jesusandnothingelse Says:

Nov 26, 2011 - Mr. Driscoll is wrong.2 Peter 1:19 does not mean that word of prophecy is "more sure" than the experiences Peter had.It means that those experiences makes the word of prophecy "more sure."

Jan 5, 2012 - Faith is following the implications of the evidence of God coming to earth, dying on the cross to take our sins, and then 3 days later rising again. I hope you read the Bible... there is none like Jesus and he could change your life and forgive you of your sins. I'm guessing adding that God commands all men to repent (including you) wouldn't hurt. So why aren't you a Christian?

tdrpowerl Says:

Jan 12, 2012 - i want to see some real proof that god exists and not because the bible says so. i want REAL proof.

yoodda Says:

Jan 15, 2012 - so did people in the bible

TomHopeful Says:

Jan 19, 2012 - The Word of God is more convincing than experience? That's... interesting.Let's assume I read Mark's and Luke's gospels everyday. Would faith then, eventually, take root in my heart?

drewmccoy789 Says:

Feb 2, 2012 - You are alive and breathing. Thats more proof than anyone should ever need.

tdrpowerl Says:

Feb 2, 2012 - that is not proof of anything except that i am alive and breathing. go read a science book or any book besides the bible. your comment makes me laugh.

tdrpowerl Says:

Feb 3, 2012 - also by that logic the Egyptian god Ra must exist because there is a sun. by saying that "you are alive and breathing, that should be more proof than anyone should ever need" than if god does exist than that disproves intelligent design if he expects me to fall for that. in other words, "god" must think that i am really stupid.

Feb 8, 2012 - This man is the straightest, fairest preacher ive ever heard

westbororapist Says:

Feb 9, 2012 - That's right people, if you base your beliefs off of experience you would be able to see through religious bullshit. that's the last thing that people like Mark Driscoll want you to do, use your brain and think critically.

bahamadiah Says:

Feb 23, 2012 - Pastors and SECT ! In 1999 i vist a Chirch,american protestant one,or whatever,they say the world will end the same year ,well it didnt happend,do you know why ? Because nobody of them is a MESSIAH ! I will never forgive myself I went there for many motives ! Dont let nobody tell you how you should live with your FAITH ! They use you like laboratory mouse ,they use psychological methods and chemichals to make you think what they want you to think.Its called Brainwashing !

TheBurningBuddhist Says:

Mar 16, 2012 - Tribulation is just about to happen. The Lord's making it clear to those who want to know and don't deny that gut feeling that something awful is about to happen. Look at Damascus, it's almost in ruins. WW3 is about to happen and after that will come a very strong delusion. Everything is set in place please contact me for more information, Jesus is going to be lonely.

bahamadiah Says:

Mar 19, 2012 - Sorry .."the Burning - BUDDHIST" and you talk about Christ ,or ? What I feel I can not explayn to nobody , a very deep believer will say to me - you lost your faith , an atheist will told me,great ,because the religion is bullshit and somebody else will told me something different.I am tired to be afraid , I dont believe God want us to be afraid he is not egocentric,he is not a terrorist,he will not make you kill animal or human for sicrafice,in this I dont believe ANYMORE !

hiswordremains Says:

Mar 21, 2012 - Hey bahamadiah, I've wanted to change my name for a while but kept have glitches so here I am, glorifying God like I should have been. I tell you this is TRUE, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm sorry you went through something like that, deeply sorry. Be led astray by no man. I ask you though too look at the times were in. America is effectively under martial law right now and things will only get worse for a while. And God doesn't want you to be afraid but fear saved the wise virgins.

hiswordremains Says:

Mar 21, 2012 - I am trying to WAKE you and everyone else up. Pray to God that he show you himself so you don't have to just listen to me. I challenge you! I don't want the blood on my hands. Please contact me and I will show you only the truth. But if you don't want to hear it I will PROCLAIM IT. Reagan and other politicians have mentioned a GLOBAL THREAT that would UNITE US, an ALIEN threat. But they aren't aliens they are DEMONS, FALLEN ANGELS. During WW3 nations will fall but they will come pretending to be

hiswordremains Says:

Mar 21, 2012 - - saviours but they aren't, obviously. They will try to convince man that they are an alien race and that they MADE us. This is the STRONG DELUSION.
