Some basic Questions about Religion from a total non-believer

[tolu619]

I'm speaking from the point of view of a pentecostal christian.

1. He gave us freewill. Even the choice to be deceived. But he also left us with a nagging need to find him, to find out the truth. We all have it. I'm sure you've noticed.

2. The only thing the Bible clearly says about women is that the man is the head of the family and the woman should submit to her husband who should also give her the due respect. It also clearly states that she should submit to the culture of her environment/homeland/country as long as it doesn't contradict God's laws. I say this becasue the only places the Bible gives specific instructions to women, the instructions are actually the rules women had to abide by in their own homeland at that moment. Sometimes, they'd stray from their culture after becoming christians and they were adviced not to do so unless their original culture was clearly in compromise to christain values.

3. The Bible says everyone is given a different set of gifts in accordance with God's mission for each person. But EVERYONE is supposed to be able to hear from God by himself. Anybody(or variation of christianity for that matter) that teaches otherwise is only manipulating people for personal gain. Making others believe they need to go through you to speak to their Father is a big lie. The Bible says Jesus is the way/door to God. The Bible also states 2 things that i'd like you to combine into one statement:

1st:"As many as accept Jesus he gave power to become sons of God"

2nd:"For they that are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God"
