The summary December 2 2010
The summary: short, sharp and shiny.
1. Speaking in tongues has nothing to do with the Biblical concept of “salvation”. Furthermore, speaking in tongues is a naturalistic, learned behavior which predates Christianity.
2. Evolution is a scientific fact of life. Creation isn’t. Every branch of science points to evolution; none point to creation.
3. Prayer does not work. There is not one single piece of documented evidence that suggests prayer favors Christians any more than any other religion or out performs the well-documented placebo effect.
4. There is no evidence that any God(s) exist. Absence of evidence for God is, indeed, evidence of absence when the evidence should be there and is not.
5. The God documented in the Bible is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. *
6. Bible Numerics is a nonsensical and flawed pattern that can be found in any text.
7. Jesus was not God. There is not one single piece of archaeological, forensic or documentary evidence that shows Jesus was anything more than a misguided Apocalyptic prophetic. Nothing was recorded about Jesus the man until decades after his death. Additionally, He falsely preached that God would intervene, destroy all evil, and establish a Kingdom of God on earth (rather than in heaven) and that this would occur during his lifetime. It didn’t.
8. The Bible is an ad hoc and contradictory assortment of mythical stories written and complied by men with questionable morals and no scientific understanding of the world they document.
9. Christianity doesn’t make sense. Original sin, Atonement, the ascension, the Trinity, salvation and Hell, are all man-made and non-falsifiable works of fiction.
10. Life is short. Dogma and guilt are debilitating.

I reckon he DOES know what he’s doing, JT Forbes!
Also, given that there’s no belief in hell, burning there would also be doubtful.
I’m not an atheist, but a believer must be able to test their beliefs without taking offence at it. In fact, if one strongly believes in something, then someone else questioning it needs to be welcomed. It is only those who are not confident of their belief system who feel the need to convert others.

Well said, Peter Deane. If JT Forbes had real faith, he/she would probably feel more sorry for the author rather than anger towards the above comments. Last time I looked into the subject, I thought Christianity was about compassion and forgiveness. Doesn’t seem like there’s much “turning the other cheek” in a statement like “I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL!!!”.

Hello, my is Trevor. I am an active member of The Revival Fellowship, Papua New Guinea. I repented, got baptized and received the Holy Spirit(John 3:3-5, Romans 6:4, 1 Peter 3:21) with the Biblical proof of speaking in Strange Tongues(Mark 16:17, Acts 2:4, Acts 19:1-6, Romans 8:26, 1 Corinthians 14:2 Jude 20, etc) on the 14th of December 2003… and since then, I have been walking in the Lord since.
Before you roll your eyes and slap your head against the table, hear me out on my experience with the Lord. I will try and make it short, as much as possible.
I came to the Lord after an illness (Tuberculosis). I had just finished my final year in college and got very sick. Which rendered me in Hospital after a near death experience. My lungs collapsed due to the illness and I was rushed to the local hospital’s emergency ward. The doctors and nurses who attended to me were completely baffled. Despite the fact that I had no pulse, no heartbeat, no breath (I wasn’t breathing) but still I had my eyes wide open and I was talking, actually praying on top of my voice because I could see death staring right at me… And all this happened for about two hours from the time I had the collapse at home to when I was sitting in the emergency ward of that hospital.
That was how long I literally died but yet alive like the walking dead (zombie)… Even after they put some kind of gadget that reads heart beats and displays them on a monitor, there still wasn’t any reading for about 10 minutes or so until finally it started reading… You guys should have seen the look on the everyone’s faces… Words cannot describe… worst still the look on my face… The Lord had mercy on me and gave my breath back and my heart started beating and registering on the monitor… I was alive again, so to speak…
I was in a critical condition fighting to stay alive day and night for the next three weeks. Before I had my attack, i was witnessed by a brother from the Revival Fellowship. The one thing that stood out the most was when he prayed in a language I had never heard before in my life… I believe with all my heart that the message that he shared with me and the prayer was the very thing that held me back from going to the world of the dead the very next day (Sunday, 6pm). I saw death come over me three times like a blanket… a darkness that you can feel… scary… But for some reason I had the strength to fight it off, like pulling a blanket put over me off again… I don’t know how i had the strength to defy death the way I did… bare in mind, every vital part in me that keeps me alive, at that point stopped working…
I was witnessed the second time in the hospital on my death bed by a brother again from the same fellowship, and to me that was the icing on the cake… I knew with all my heart, God was calling me to His church. After three weeks, I got discharged, on a Friday after been witnessed to again (Wednesday)… I was shocked, as too my mum because I relied almost entirely on the oxygen supply there to keep me breathing, and now they are discharging me… i was excited, yet scared because of my dependencies, but one thing that convinced me was that i was released because, I guess, it was what God wanted… He held my life this far, I knew somewhere deep within me, he was gonna keep me going no matter what…
That was the weekend (Sunday) I got baptized and received the Holy Spirit with the miraculous evidence of Speaking in Tongues. I was healed instantly… That evening after returning home, I slept like a log till the next day, for the first time after a month of sleepless nights because of the illness… not to mention the traumatic experience of the hospital, try’na stay alive.
I had sizable holes in my lungs which completely obliterated my left lung and a little of the right… completely healed and no more marks or scares left behind… no breathing problems and my weight and health is unbelievable… this started happening after a month of my baptism…
I have received something the world cannot give to me, neither can it understand… and this experience has been happening ever since the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2). My congregation stands at 3 thousand on average on a Sunday fellowship and it’s unbelievable… We have people healed of cancer (Heart, lung, cervix, etc) and all kinds of sickness both physical and psychological and spiritually also… But here’s one that you might not want to believe, people being healed of HIV&ADIS… yep it’s true… hey, if you can’t believe then just refer back to my testimony… Luke 1:37 – Nothing is impossible with God… and the list is endless…
I can share a lot of testimonies and my experiences to you guys if you want and any answers you guys might have…

I do this so that you too might come to know God not as the world presents him but as how one would have a personal meeting (experience) with him… You will never be the same again and then base your judgments on that…
Bye…
