The large majority of people who have ever existed could not have learned of the Bible or Jesus Christ. And many people afterwards have found other religions or no religion at all to be more convincing, sometimes while being very virtuous. Do all these people really deserve eternal torment because of that?

I'm no fan of GW Bush, but I'd like to give him a well done on using four letter words when talking about other G8 leaders. I'm not one for cussing, but if maybe our politicians would use more four letter words in public it may show they're more like one of us. Except for the fact that all the "beeping" you'd hear on the radio and television would probably drive us nuts.

My whole life, I have wanted to believe there was a God. But I can't honestly say I have found 1 reason to believe such a thing exists. My whole family believes and it's been no fun feeling left out. Sure I said I believed, but didn't, and pretended to do so for most of my life. Why can't I believe, when I've had every chance to do so?

If god is omniscient and " god is love," why would he allow a child to be conceived, knowing that that child would one day reject him and spend eternity burning in a lake of fire?

I asked on this site for people to pray for me, and the site has removed my prayer requests and taken away my points, even though many people responded to me and said they would pray for me. Are we not allowed to ask for prayer on this site?????

Indeed, wouldn't God know that before the creation of our Universe what creatures would disappoint him? That being the case why create those creatures at all? Also, in knowing absolutely the behavior of humans before creation, God cannot be disappointed either... for this world is exactly as he has planned it to be. If it's not, why create us at all?

When you go to Sax 5th Ave you see all these DESIGNER clothes. A designer outfit is clothing or equipment or anything with the authors name on it such as Versachi or any famous fashion designer or perfume like Liv Tyler or whoever. The whole creation has been DESIGNED by our Lord and King Jesus. Each of us is born with His pre-designed " makeup " and " equipment ". Even the creation around us is born with what you call instinct or I would say pre-programmed. As a computer geekie girl I have helped " design " a few programs. We as humans are born pre-programmed to think and love and do whatever. We are a beautiful Designer creation with the Name of Jesus written on our hearts as soon as we come out of our mothers...even if we dont believe in Him..scriptures say our hearts are being drawn by Him to Him. sooooooo cool!

I just answered a question about being strict on premartial sex, and I was curious as to how many of you was raised. Did you parents keep you in church, or was they not church goers? If you wasnt a church goer and you are now, how did you come to know Jesus?

I have met a couple people who are Gays and call themselves Muslims, they even pray regularly, but they keep their sexuality secret from other Muslims. I was wondering is it possible to be Gay AND Muslim?

I'm white first of all, and just answered a question concerning this matter. It was about racism and a black person said black people are more racist than white people. I said that I apologize for that shi* my people did to blacks back around the slave days. Do you still hate the modern white people for what our people did to your people back then?

I just started going to a new church called the International Living Bread. Everything they believe seems to go with scripture except they had some small area on talking in tounges (sp?) I started asking a bunch of questions and one lead to the fact that they DO support benny Hinn. Benny Hinn seems like a complete fraud to me. SEEMS is the key word . I don't know can anyone out there help me...Thanks

If you think you're going to heaven, you're really going to hell if the bible tranlators screwed up.

Dont be surprised to get surprised when you die

I was hearing today again about the vampire bats and I thought of you guys. I still think bats are like my punk and goth brothers. Spikey hair and sharp teeth and flying around with attitudes. But, did you know that they are so cool ? They of course suck blood and when they attach themselves to the animals they have a built in anastetic that numbs the flesh so the animal wont feel the puncture wound and they will be able to just hang there and drink without discomforting the host. The teacher said its kind of like a dentist numbing the patients mouth before drilling. Isnt that sooo cool and unique ? I mean wow! What a testimony to a great Creator! He...Jesus..built in an anastetic into the animal. It is Gods " designer custom equipment " built in at the creation. Isnt that cool ! Bats are born with designer outfits on! Love, your favorite Christian...little morphing annie....
