Christians...you don't have to work for being saved...you don't have to work for forgiveness?

1 John 1:8-10
8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

1. The bible has plenty evil scriptures. http://www.evilbible.com

2. Jesus was beaten tortured and killed just so you can rape, steal, and murder, repent and go to heaven? Sounds wicked to me. Something the Devil will support

MAYBE ANYONE WHO'S STUPID AND WICKED ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THE BIBLE DESERVES TO GO TO HELL

Why is it that people say oh i am a muslim or i am a christain or i am a jew....i mean religion is suppose to be personal and spritual..its not there so you can force your believes on people and tell them what to do and stuff we are doing today.you never hear people say i am a good person because i volunteered at a hospital. instead we hear people say i am going to heaven becuase i am a christain or muslim or jew or any other religion. we pay more attention to God (who we can't see) then normal day to day stuff like helping people or not hurting nay ones feeling and stuff like that.WHY??

I just don't get it... If there is GOD, how come GOD allows babies who are pure and innocent to come into this world with defects to suffer for the rest of their life? We have seen babies who're born blind, with missing limbs, retarded etc Is GOD wanting to test their faith thereafter or to test the faith of their parents???? It's very sad if GOD chose this test on faith.

Meaning your absolutly right or your absolutly wrong, no middle ground, no compermises.

I'm reminded of when Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life, NO MAN COME TO THE FATHER EXPECT THROUGH ME"
If we except this as absolute truth, all other faiths are then shown as wrong to us.

Nowhere is the term "Nicolatian" written in other books of the Bible except in Revelations, the last book inn the Scriptures. What does "Nicolatian" mean and where is the term derived from? That Jesus hates it so much.

Deuteronomy 21

21:18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
21:19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
21:20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

What is your definition for truth? This is related to religion, don't worry. I'd like to hear everyone's take, but the only thing I DON'T want to hear is " my faith/prophet is the truth." And also, no dictionary definitions.

The Virgin Mary was modest and lived in modesty, covered her body, covered her hair. Did she chose to act as such, or was she oppressing herself? Who are the people today that follow such traditions? Are Muslim women oppressing themselves for choosing to act modestly and covering their hair?

Jesus wore a long beard, dressed in robes, sometimes covered his head. Who imitates him today, what cultures/religions?

I found it hard to word the question.
3 that I have in mind are
1/ The Twa Corbies. Two crows; one with an utterly indifferent voice. the other singing of the newly dead knight with malicious pleasure.
2/"My young love said to me" Sorry I can't remember the title. The last verse going
"Last night he came to me, my dead love came in.
So softly he moved that his feet made no din
And he laid his hand on me and this he did say
It will not be long love..........till our wedding day. "
I sense the terroor in her voice.
3/ The short cut to the roses. A woman falls for a faery man. Her heart is stolen and crushed
I think she faces a bleak eternity, Her only emotion fear that if she revisited the place of her falling in love her soul would be stolen and crushed as was her heart.
That is off my mind at last.
Back to Marie's Weding.
Love, Rose P.

1 Peter 4:

3For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. 5But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
