Society & Culture - 31 August 2006

According to the Christian faith, if someone lives right, tries as hard as he or she can to refrain from sinning, and accepts Jesus into his or her heart, then that person will live forever in Heaven.

But, let's say we have John. John is a nice guy. He works hard at his job, doesn't break the law, and tries to treat others the way he would want to be treated. But, John doesn't go to church. Well, he goes every once in a while, but not on a regular basis. Plus, he never actually accepts Jesus into his heart. Will John scorch in Hell forever just because he didn't go through the ritual of getting saved, despite the fact that he was a nice guy overall?

Before I end this, I think I should add that I am only asking this because I am interested in what other people think about it.

I wasn't expecting a reaction in the first place.

I gave out a bunch of harmonicas to the vagrants around my office.
My thinking is they will do better and possibly entertain people.
My friends gave me a hard time becuse they thought I did it out of pure mischief.

Spelt wrong, I know. I have no idea of how it is spelt or what language it is but it is pronounced how I have typed it: bag-air-ross.

Some have said.
That God is more powerful than Jesus or that Jesus is God (or the physical form of him) and hence Jesus was an avatar of God.

So why do I have to let Jesus into my heart to be able to go to heaven and not let God into my heart (more) has he is the top dog, it it seems by the answer given Jesus is just a part of him?

This doesn't happen to me very often. In fact, I can't even remember the last time it happened. But if people do it to you, how do you react? Do you correct other people's grammar? Is it rude to do so?

She Isn't anything special, She was just human, Yes she did give birth to Jesus Christ, But she was still a human? They pray to Mary more than they pray to God, and God himself said that we can't worship any other God

It seems that everytime I turn around the number 666 is just waiting for me. Not too long ago the space used on my iTunes was 6.66 GB..... Right now my MySpace profile views are 6660..... I cant remember every instance right now but I was wondering if anyone knew if this was a sign or anything of the future.
