The Lord said He would make His disciples fishers of men.
My question: Do you fish by sitting in your boat and telling the fish they are going to hell? I don't see this method in Scripture. Do you?

Someone posted the question a little bit ago about where a good person who has never heard of Christ before goes when they die.

I hear the same thing everytime this question is posted and it goes along the lines of..

"every person of every nation will know the Gospel of Jesus Christ before they leave the earth and that it will be their choice if they accept the gift or deny it."


If I was to go into my room and write up a story and say "everyone who does not acknowledge my story as truthful will burn in a pool of fire forever, everyone will know this story before they die. I have no way of proving this story to be true, but believe me when I tell you, it is true".

My question is...

Doesn't it seem physcially, mentally, and scientifically impossible for EVERYONE on earth to have heard of this story before they died? Do I label those have not heard of this story as "those whom burn in the pool of fire", even though they may not of have any way of ever hearing my story?

Don't get me wrong...this was a bad man who murdered innocent men. All men (and women) are innocent, by the way...(in case you are dumb...or a Christian) But he had NOTHING, NOT one thing to do with the event that inspired his capture and trial. Look it up. It is all becoming a well known fact. One man who has killed many, many, many, MANY more men deserves to die, and most of you know who that is...yet you will not say nor do anything about it. Good luck my friends...the America I came to know would fight for their rights instead of looking the other way when they KNEW something was wrong.
So go ahead...shop at the GAP
Eat McDonalds
Follow the life of Brittany Spears
Follow up on the next splurge of Paris Hilton
Hate Mel Gibson for saying what is only true...
Follow your illusion into delusion
But please, oh please, do not act surprised when it happens.
Cause it will...

I live in a bedsit and three people next door have been drinking on the shared balcony for the past five hours. It's now 9:30pm and I can still hear every word they're saying. Should I approach them to take the party inside? Or grit my teeth and bare it?

I feel I am getting lazy in my prayer life. When you feel spiritualy flat you do not feel like praying. I know you do not go on feelings, but unless I feel love in my heart for God I do not feel like praying to him. I love him with all on my heart, but I feel like it is buried. I got saved last year just before I was baptised at my sisters old church. Not long after that Jesus appeared to me in a dream and gave me a salvation dream, which I did not expect as I was going around doubting it for a few weeks.(still do sometimes)I have the exact words from the holy spirit from that dream by Jesus. It was "I have called you by name, you are saved, your name has been written in the lambs book of life, I have called you into my kingdom and you are mine" That was very biblical.. I had that backed up at prayer ministry as well, by the holy spirit through one of th prayer team. Just curious to know how often you spend. I just want to know if I am the most slackest person regarding prayer.

I live in NYC and on my subway ride back home today (I was alone), while I was reading my book two black men yelled "John Liu! John Liu!" until I looked up. And when I did, they weren't looking at me but looked at each other and went on their conversation. And FYI, John Liu is a congressman in Flushing, Queens, NY.

If two white men were shouting "Al Sharpton!" at a black guy this would be a racial slur. So is this considered a racial slur? This happened late at night and I didn't say anything back and I wish I had done so.

So is this racism, or is racism only when whites call blacks names?

And BTW, this happens frequently to Asian men in NYC. This is not my first time.

When god returns, will he come from the sky? My image of thinking, the sky will open wide and god will be reveiled with angels. Do you believe this? Where is this written in the bible of gods return?

Why do so many people worry abou tthis perosn or that , if nothing comes after the grave?
If like the Buddhists teach, everyone is dying right now,evryone will die and death is not unpleasant?
Is this inconsistent? Why does justice mean so much to a finite or for that matter a dead being?
I ask this as a Christian who believes in the eternal life that Jesus gave us as a gift.

I was raised catholic but since very little I found weird that when the priest said "let's talk to god" people were actually talking to god. But it was hard to defeat all the fear of hell that gets bumped into your head in order to stay endoctrinated in something as easily refutable as christianity and i was raise in a moderate family so I can only imagine how hard must had been for those of you that were raised in a christian fundamentalist family to liberate your self from such farytales. how did you do it? What got you started in the process of unbelieving? In my case was logic and music.

Why is it, that in the New Testament, we can read about the fallen angels, i.e. devils, demons, wicked and evil spirits. But, in the Old Testament the word devil is used for the idols and images that were worshipped?
