I'm confused, in the bible it state's this Corinthians 6:9, TLB. "Don't you know that those doing such things have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshippers, adulterers or homosexuals—will have no share in his kingdom."

And at the same time people say God loves everyone no matter what. WHICH IS IT??? I'm so confused...

Two of my co-workers were speaking filipino, I think, and I told them I knew what they were saying. I really don't but it would be fun to call them out on at least one word I overheard. They were laughing when they said it, so I am sure it is slang of some sort.
Thanks!

Celebrating the death of any person? Especially when the death is induced by others?

I woke up with my tv on night before last to see the first video of Saddam's preparation to hang. Tears came to my eyes and I immediately had to channel it.

My tears came not only for him, in his last moments, but for all those who did love him, his family, his followers - right or wrong.

And. also, for all of those whose hearts were gladdened by his final demise.

What makes ppl so vindictive as to take pleasure in bringing about death?

Recently I just answered a question about pro-life. The person that ask the question is constantly sending me e-mails saying that I am lacking moral vaules and ethics because I don't support his idea. Really, it isn't bothering me, but I want to mess with with this person head. Would this be wrong of me?

It is currently near impossible to win an election in the United States without first declaring yourself to be a Christian. Christian crosses are displayed in public parks, in front of government offices, courthouses, and on other public property. The Ten Commandments are also on government owned land, and "In God We Trust" is on American money, an endorsement of monotheism which violates the First Amendment. Is it impossible to keep religion where it belongs, in homes and Churches, Temples, and Mosques? Why must Christianity be so publicly displayed, and is this invasion of religion where is does not belong damaging to American society?

When there are Christians on here that actually say that Christians who don't agree with them aren't really Christians. And that everyone, including those other Christians will be sorry on judgement day. I'm not a Christian, but that is offensive to me.

I was under the impression that all you need to do is accept Jesus as your savior to go to heaven, and that the religion also teaches not to judge.

Personally I think all you guys are the WORST witnesses I could imagine, and thanks to you I would never call myself a Christian. I could never purposely be in the same group of people as you.

Honestly, I'm not trying to provoke anyone, I just want to let you know that if you are trying to witness you are doing an unimaginably poor job. I think we all know the type of people I'm talking about, and this doesn't refer to all you Christians on here, because many of you seem to be very tolerant.

It doesnt matter how much proof Christians give you becuase you wont believe right?

Matthew 13:15-For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Mark 4:12-seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

Christians have given you more than enough "proof" & "evidence" for ya'll to know that there is a God and His name is Jesus.

Until ya'll start to have faith you will always be in the dark.

We could give ya'll enough evidence to fill the titanic;ya'll still would refuse to believe right?Why?

Maybe if you let a book that has been distorted and twisted control your life than you don't have to think anymore. Is that why you follow so blindly?
