That says that the government cannot control the churches.
It does not say the churches cannot control the government.

It's not entirely true.
Rational thinking and science brings actual prove for the existence of God, and the Creation.
For instance, scientists have found out that the universe is amazingly well tuned. If the strong nuclear force was a few percent stronger, stars wouldn't exist. And if the fine structure constant were slightly different, carbon wouldn't be stable. Same goes for several other natural constants. It is simply impossible for a randomly generated universe to be suitable for life.
And even if the impossible happened, how could all these amazingly well-designed lifeforms be created? Modern biochemistry prove that the design of even so called simple lifeforms is superior to the most advanced technology.
So, rational thinking prove the Creation. It's the atheists who don't want you to make the conclusion.

Friend, no matter how good your intentions were, there are several things wrong with your explanation.
Firstly, rational thinking doesn't prove either God or His Creation: Faith does. Fine-tuned constants in the universe might imply that it was created in the First Place, but only True Christian™ Faith reveals that this creator was actually the God of the Bible.
Secondly, your views on cosmology seem to differ enormously from Biblical Cosmology. The Bible teaches that stars are just simple little lights that can be cast to the Earth:
Daniel 8:10:
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Matthew 24:29:
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mark 13:25:
And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
Revelation 6:13:
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Revelation 12:4:
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
The calculations that supposedly prove how unlikely it is for life to from are dependent on a non-Biblical cosmology; one that supposes that stars are as big as the sun. The above Verses prove that God's Holy Bible disagrees with that notion: stars are little things which can fall to the Earth.

Again, I strongly disagree with you here. Rational thinking led to the invention of evolutionary theory, which explains the occurence of complex structures without regarding God's Creative Actions. This is why evolution is wrong. They can blabber on if they like about "exaptation, changing functions of complex systems and evolution within systems," but we True Christians™ know that this is all rational nonsense, which the Bible teaches we should reject.
Sweet Lord Jesus,
I want to pray for those who persecute me, my Lord.
Please, treat their children as you treated those of Egypt, when they upset you! (Psalm 135:8-9)
Dash their little children against the stones for their fathers iniquity! (Psalm 137:8-9)
Hit them on the cheek, and smash out their teeth! (Psalm 3:7)
Make their death and descent into Hell swift and terrible! (Psalm 55:15)
Scatter their broken bodies over the streets of their evil cities, like Benghazi, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Mecca! (Psalm 110:6)
Praised be Your Glorious Name™.
Amen.

wait what
Just so you know
God is powerful enough to trick us silly humans
into thinking ANYTHING
which also means he can create the largest and most complex puzzle
to dumbfound scientists any way he chooses
so if he found a way to trick people into thinking one thing so they could be content.
Why not be happy with all ultimatums because GOD created this world
and knows more about it then every single version of the bible ever
do you doubt him?
then why does anyone bring up arguments about gods will when
GOD DOESENT HATE RATIONAL THINKING its why we are still alive
he loves our ingenuity and creativity (for thos who WILL bring up satan and the apple and how god hates us Burn where nonbeleivers burn)
that is all

Hello, and welcome to God's Favorite Forum!
Please introduce yourself here, in the aptly named "Introduction Forum."
Let us know what church you attend, how you came to serve our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, and your favorite 1611 King James Bible verse.
You know, let us know the important stuff, the stuff that makes you human! I think there's something special about you. Remember to be polite, act as if you were at grandma's house, not at a crack house!
The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.~Joel 1:12

Friend, God knows infinitely more than what He wrote down in the Bible, but that does not mean that what He wrote down in the Bible therefore somehow isn't True anymore. And God wrote in the Bible that He hates it when people think for themselves. What's your point?
Definitely not. Only by thinking rationally can people start to doubt God.

Umm...I did, friend. Actually I have quoted Scripture from all over the Bible to strengthen my point. Are you slow?

Friend, what you are saying is opposite to what is written in the Bible. Therefore, you are wrong. Do you really think we would believe the words of a God-mocking atheist over the Words of the Almighty Himself?

Of course God would remedy my teeth, if I asked Him to:
Matthew 7:7-8:
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 17:20:
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
John 15:7:
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Sweet Lord Jesus,
I want to pray for those who persecute me, my Lord.
Please, treat their children as you treated those of Egypt, when they upset you! (Psalm 135:8-9)
Dash their little children against the stones for their fathers iniquity! (Psalm 137:8-9)
Hit them on the cheek, and smash out their teeth! (Psalm 3:7)
Make their death and descent into Hell swift and terrible! (Psalm 55:15)

If we didn't have knowledge then how could you, those of you who call yourselves Chritian, have come to write your religious texts, all of the scriptures you quote? Surely the knowledge and basic skills that have enabled Man and Woman to produce, papyrus/paper/parchment, ink and writing impliments show that knowledge is in part a positive thing. There is of course an argument to be had that too much knowledge is bad for certain members of society.
Without some aspects of knowledge we would indeed still be early humans incapable of advancement and enlightenment, whatever you personally feel that enlightenment is.

By divine revelation, of course:
2 Peter 1:20-21:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Timothy 3:15-17:
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
All Scripture is ultimately written by God, the writers just wrote down what God told them. There is not a single part in the Bible that is the product of rational thinking.
Quote:

I don't think that qualifies either as knowledge or rational thinking. Anyway, what proof do you have that these things were invented by rationalists and not given to Man by God?
Quote:

The Bible doesn't say anywhere that "advancement" is a good thing. After all, God never changes:
Malachi 3:6:
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Hebrews 13:8:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
So, neither should we try to change. It can only remove us further from God (and actually, people who follow science often lose their Faith, which proves that advancement leads people away from God).
Additionally, the Bible teaches that there is nothing new under the sun. All technologies we have today, therefore, must have been known at some point in the past, perhaps by the antediluvian civilizations:
Ecclesiastes 1:9:
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Sweet Lord Jesus,
I want to pray for those who persecute me, my Lord.
Please, treat their children as you treated those of Egypt, when they upset you! (Psalm 135:8-9)
Dash their little children against the stones for their fathers iniquity! (Psalm 137:8-9)
Hit them on the cheek, and smash out their teeth! (Psalm 3:7)
Make their death and descent into Hell swift and terrible! (Psalm 55:15)
Scatter their broken bodies over the streets of their evil cities, like Benghazi, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Mecca! (Psalm 110:6)
Praised be Your Glorious Name™.
Amen.

If people should not change, then how will people create the sin-free society that the christian faith strives towards? Not being a Christian in the same light as you regard yourselves in I find it difficult to rely on a fideistic style of faith. But surely we must change to achieve the world that we, and indeed God wants.
I'm interested by your knowledge of scripture, you must have to work pretty hard ontop of whatever you do as a day job to maintain that level of in-depth knowledge. It's impressive.

Haven't you read the book of Revelation? That will NEVER happen. This world will continue to be filled with a majority of sinners until the day Jesus returns and tosses them into a Lake of Fire to burn forever and ever.
Our job is to help the very, very few people who will be saved. There are only 144,000 people from all of history who will get to heaven, out of the billions and billions who have walked this earth.

I know this may seem like a silly question in your eyes, but if you manage to "save" more than 144'000 people surely "God" would be open to changing his/her/it's policy. Or are we to believe that life is a big competition for the affections of an omnipitent being? It just doesn't seem like the loving and just "God" that we're taught about here in our education system and church.

I'll try to use small words since you are obviously of a diminished mental capacity.
God - knows - the - future! God already knew exactly how many people would be saved when he wrote the book of Revelation. It is impossible for more than that number to be saved.

That is because most of the churches in this world are lying false Christian churches, who do not obey the Bible, but make up their own god.
As it stands, you have NO right to question God.
Romans 9:20 But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'"

Diminished mental capacity, theres no need to insult someone for trying to better understand something. I respect that you have your beliefs but that just makes you seem biggotted. It is all very well quoting scripture but if it comes to pass that one of the other religions is infact the correct one what will you all do then, lay down and accept that you had been wrong all along? You may be correct I don't know. And if you are then I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.
I think I'm going to leave you guys to your faith and I'll stick to what I believe in. I hope that you achieve what you want to in life and live a long and happy one. But thanks for confirming what I'd been told about Christian Americans.
