None of the prophets before Jesus (PBUH) mentioned the son of God, or the Trinity as an essential part of faith or belief, without which you are damned for all eternity. Instead they ALL preached a message of monotheism, a belief in One God, His worship, & gave us commandments. Yet, Christianity would have us believe that because ALL of us sin, there is no way we could do enough good deeds to get us in to heaven. Instead we should believe in the doctrine of the trinity (again, alien to ALL the prophets that came before Jesus (PBUH)) & abandon the things in the old testament, about praying (as Jesus himself did) Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.", fasting, not eating pork, usury....etc. Basically do what you like, as long as you believe that Jesus died for your sins & accept that fact, you've got a ticket into heaven?

I have a friend in need of help:

As some of you know, I am leaving my job today.

Over the past two weeks I have pretty much exhausted all the skiving opportunities to be had in this place including Post-It origami and forming a steel band with the filing cabinets.

Now I turn to you lovely lot to help me decide the best way of having my revenge on the petty, bitchy, inbred motherfathers in my office.

Suggestions on a virtual postcard please.

What are your best (LEGAL!) tips for office revenge?

Most Christians are quick to agree, on the surface, that God is completely sovereign (He controls all things) but when it comes to saving His people, suddenly many appeal to the "freewill" of man and claim that God voluntarily "limits" Himself to allow for the freewill of man to determine who will believe and who will not.

Where is anything like this in the Bible?

They were jumped by ten youths. The wife was punched in the face and the husband beaten to the ground and suffered internal bleeding.
Chavs are cowardly and evil, preying on innocent people in a completely unprovoked attack.
I think the local rugby team should go out and put them back in their place.........
Any ideas on how to stop these things happening?

Since the death of Jesus on the cross is the centre of all Christian theology. All statements about God, about creation, about sin and death have their focal point in the crucified Christ. All christians statements about history, about church, about faith and sanctification, about the future and about hope stem from the crucified christ. Blood for salvation, no blood no salvation.

What will happen to all their good deeds?

i had a dream where God talk to me. He made me feel his suffering for this world I've and it was something i've never experience before. The whole dream was just a voice and a white light. He told me that i needed to let others know what he had showed me. He said that he would speak through me. Then i ask if i was dreaming or if it was really him, and he said that my test was to decide in my hearth if he really came to me or if it was only a dream. Its been over a year and still haunts me today. I've never been a fanatic of religion but i consider myself to be a spiritual person. I dont believe in church, but i beleive he is part of all us. In the same dream he told me he is everywhere and that we all belong to him. He said that we dont have to fear him because he is not be fear. He said he is love and love is all.
I'm very confused because i feel something inside of me that tells me to look for answers. At the same time I'm confused why would he came to me?Was it really him?

1. Do you know any verses that support attending a church? I know that it is good to be in fellowship with other christians, but do not know what verses support it.

2. Now to go in a different direction. I believe in 1st or 2nd Corinthians, it talks about a man caught up in a certain level of heaven. What's up with that? I've read over it before, but I just read it a few weeks ago and it has stuck with me cuz I don't understand it or it's relevance. Please share your knowledge with me.

Philippians 2:13, "for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."

This verse says that God works in people so that they "will" (ie. want/desire) according to "His good pleasure".

By this means, God can get people to do whatever He ordains without violating their "freewill" because He DETERMINES their "will" which they, in turn, FREELY act upon.

The question is then, "If God is the ultimate determiner of what we will/want/desire, would we be able to perceive that it is He who is at work in us"?

Can we identify the source of our will/want/desire?

We moved a year ago and he likes girls very much. He has been through a lot of upheaval and I know that most of the group he hangs with are saying this. What can I do because I really do not believe he is saying this for any other reason but to get a reaction.
