Or, did heaven get filled up (144,000 seating capacity) when Romans slaughtered all the Jews, so coming back would have been pointless?


Note: I am an atheist but am familiar with the bible and its myths.

For instance, churches are known to have many graven images (or idols/statutes). However, Exodus 20:4,5 says, "you must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me."

A scritpure true to form, yet, people wear jewelry of Jesus on the cross, bow down to idols in the churches (ex. Virgin Mary, Jesus on cross). Nevertheless, these people think they are serving God and/or Jesus. But these same people smoke, abuse alcohol, use profanity like a sailor and lead immoral lives. If Jesus were on earth today, would he be pleased with that kind of worship? Something to think about....The floor is yours...

I'm not sure how to put this, because I don't want to offend anyone.

Do black people want to be called African American or just American?

you are perfectly content at home and you dont want to go out but you have to? Weather it be for milk or bread or Deli meat for the week? It stinks so bad. I am so comfortable right now but knowing I have to go to the store is just nagging at me. Ugh. Oh well I guess it is just life and all the crap that goes along with it.

The Lord shines resplendently in the universe;
so also the universe shines in the Lord.
The relationship between the Lord and
the universe is intimate and inseparable.
What else is to be conveyed to you?

Any thoughts to ponder?

Personally, what kind of seasonal observations do you like to do? I did a little circle. I keep things pretty non-ceremonial since I moved back in with my Conservative (capital C) folks.
What associations are important for this time of year?
What dieties, if any, do you work with around this time?

In India there are about 850 million Hindus ,And about 20 Million Christians.
The Figure of Christians compromises largely of Tribals and people of Bacward Areas who had Converted during The British rule in India( which lasted for 190 years) for Cash incentives and Jobs in the British Government,( this is an open secret ).
Now their Figure is falling many are reconverting and the most mesterious part is Their Birth Rate is Falling when the General Birthrate of India is 2.2 +.
In India there is a major Chunk of 300 million Hindus who Compromise Rich,UpperMiddle Class and Middle Class, Most of them are Religious, the Poor class is also religious.
What I Want to ask is that why in the Western Countries there has been a Huge Shortfall of people Visiting Church and or finding time to be Religious ?
If your religion is the Only one which is Truth than how come people In Western Countries and many other Do not Follow teachings of Bible and are not attracted towards it as the Hindus are Attracted towards their own religion?

"The biggest trick the devil has played is to make people think that he does not exist."

He has influenced so many people, not only back in the garden of Eden, but also today. However, is he a god? Think before you answer this question. I want clear answers. Whatever your answer is, back it up with facts (at least 5). The stage is yours...

Most people today, no matter what others say, think they are going to Heaven. However, the scriptures say that only a certain number will go there. I will give you a hint, it is in the book of Revelation. What is that number and tell me the requirements that these people must have before going there. The floor is yours...

The Bible (Genesis) says Adam and Eve were made by God from 'dust'. And what color is dust? Black.

I am Caucasian, and I think we need to honor our African brothers more by helping the people in Darfur and other war-torn areas in that beautiful continent.

What do others here think? :)

Believe in Jesus. He is the Only Way!
