Amitabha and Akshobya and two others at least have Pure Land Buddhist Heavens. What are the names of the Gods of these heavens; are these heavens like Hindu heavens; can you eat and have sex and kids there?

Before you get angry and call me one of those snobby christians who thinks theyre better than everyone else (i dont think that ok, for we have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God.) think about this. In islam allah tells you to send your son to die for him, in Chr. God sends his son to die for you. Buddhism, hinduism, in fact, ALL religions besides christianity depend on YOUR good works to get you into heaven or have a better reincarnation (which is a false satanic lie hebrews 9:27), but in Chr. its not your good works, you cant change that youve sinned and fell short of the glory of god. All you can do is humbly bow down and ask for forgiveness.

Do you think that this is it? Please give me your opinions and what you have noticed that may align the current crisis with the prophecies in the Bible.

I was married by a Justice of the Peace to my first husband. We got divorced later on but the Catholic church said that they didn't recognize my marriage. They said it was like we were never married. So when I went to get married to my 2nd husband the church said I had to get an annulment from my 1st husband. Why if they said they don't recognize my first marriage would I have to get an annulment? According to them I wasn't married in the eyes of the church so why is an annulment necessary besides giving the church more money?

Many people say traditional things or statements without considering its meaning or origin. Finally when day, I felt uncomfortable saying something that made no sense to me. And I ask many associates, friends, and even strangers, what is the meaning of saying "Bless You" When a person accidentally falls to the ground, no one says "Bless You" When someone coughs, no one says "bless you" When someone gets hurt, no one says "bless you" How about when person bleches, no one says "bless you" When some gets in a motor vehicle collision, no one says "bless you" According to Websters New World Dictionary it defines the word, "Bless" to mean "to ask divine favor for" Now according to that definition, why am I asking devine favor for a person sneezing? Is this saying "bless you" even Christian? Can someone show me in the Bible where it teaches us to say, "bless you" when someone sneezes? Until I receive divine understanding regarding this subject, I am protesting the saying.

i just dont understand, how you could cheat one someone you LOVE if you really love them, then you would never ever be tempted to have sex with any other person on the earth! and if you dont love someone, then why marry them? i guees its just like so many people have affiars these days, and seriously, they should just divorce, because obviously if you ever cheated then you dont truly love your husband/wife. i just dont get it.

If ghosts are real, why wouldn't they walk the street during day time. Why wouldn't they appear in public, rather than cornering someone alone in a dark alley.

Are they just manifestations of our fear of the unknown.

Since we aren't clear what's around when we are in the dark or at less frequented places like forests, old buildings etc.., we get scared when we are there and start imagining things!

For the purpose of this question, let's assume that mysticism is the belief that you can know things without experiencing them.

Hi, I have been having many interesting dreams involving the Amazon and the Titanic for almost two months now. I keep a dream journal and dream symbols dictionary. I think my dreams may be about my past life. Can someone give me a few links to websites that would help me figure out my past life?

By the way, please don't give me answers that say I need to find God, read the Bible, etc;

Thanks!

I mean, we have free will, right?

Is my assumption right? God does not know our future. Well, not on a large scale. More like what our jobs are gonna be...that kind of stuff.

I have several friends who claim to be Christians, but the Lord's wisdom tells me otherwise. I have tried to show them the error of their ways, but they insist I am wrong. How can I save their souls so that they might join me in God's Heavenly grace? As I know the end is very near, I must act swiftly. Please help me.

PS: They are Methodists.

Which name do you like more?

I like Gabriel because it's unique and easy to say and people are reminded of the archangel, Gabriel.

Gabe is shorter, but a lot of people seem to get it confused with Dave and sometimes, gay...
