according to the bible....only christians can goto heaven. So all the other religons are going to hell? Even the people that have never even heard of christianity? So God is going to punish them for eternity and send them to hell just because they were born on the wrong side of the world and raised another religon?

If this is how God truely is.......I don't want anything to do with him.

Since we spoke of wands a bit ago, I've been looking for a relatively short but well said file on Wand making. Here is one I remembered from some sent to me 17 years ago.
Wed Apr 18 15:27:07 1990--One neat way to make a wand that is very popular is to get a piece of copper tubing and a crystal that fits in the end of it or even one for both ends of it. Then you can decorate the tube in various ways. Some people solder small chips of gemstones on it, while others wrap it in black leather (crazy glue keeps this on the pipe!) and then braid various colors of embroidery thread about this or attach feathers to it or whatever. You can fill the tubes with herbs sacred to your purpose/goal in life too. Some folks have more than one of these wands for various purposes in their lives. You can solder the crystal/s in the end/s or you can fashion prongs out of the end of the tubing & stick it in in much the same way a jeweler sets a diamond in a ring. Use some crazy glue.

"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first."

Does this mean it's not a good idea to cast out evil spirits?

today my neighbors have a party, there are probably 25 people in there and music/dances/etc. I have to work tomorrow (it is 12:27 already and I need to wake up at 8), how to tell them to stop it, or is it better to call the police?

Seems if God created man and woman he would have created them to be equal...not where as the woman is a servant of the man.

If scientists was to announce that the universe was going to dissappear in 24 hours would you still belive in God? Reincarnation?

Will you still have faith in your religion???

why do ppl hide behind the term 'to stereotype someone is...'? i mean an apple is an apple and an orange is an orange no matter what right? and a person who steels is a person who steels, and a person on welfare is a person on welfare. and those two things dont have a race behind them, or a color, all ppl who steel are different races, maybe is that a stereotype, and all ppl who are on welfare are different races. so how can some one safely say something with out it being called stereotyping?

As far as I have seen, bisexual men prefer men more than women. I wont lay it hardcore that this is true for all Bi-men but is it the major trend if stats are drawn?

A lady I know in the retirement community where I work needs to be lifted up. She has bone cancer she has battled for years and does dialysis three times a week. Today she told me that she hadn't slept since 4:30 a.m. yesterday. She was in severe pain in every bone in her body and was battling spasms in her legs. She needs sleep desperately and relief from her pain. I am asking for as many prayer warriors as I can find for her. Her name is Gladys and she is my friend. Thank you so very much for your support and may God bless you mightily!

I recieve this answer previously, it is not logical and biblical.

"Yes God does have sons(angels) in heaven that were created, not begotten(as Jesus was)"

the word Begotten means born from or created by someone according to Matthew 1:1-5 " Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar"

Why the denied that the firstson of God was the first creation of God in heaven because it wasn´t in earth that Jesus was firstson, because the firstson of God in earth was Adam
according to Luke 3:38
"Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God."
So Jesus is the firstson of God when he begot him or created him in heaven.

All of his first followers were Jews and many of us beleive in him today. Yes some bad leaders conspired to have him killed, but he was killed by the Romans, under Roman law. Crucifiction was a Roman meathod of execution designed to terrorize into submission. Pilot had over twohundred and fifty Crucifictions under his belt by the time Christ appeared before him. I am not saying they should, but why don't they hate Italians? It would make more sense.

Immortality does require a specific level of spiritual attainment.
Could we live here longer? Its been stated one must be willing to work on their personal karma and gain spiritual insight into the everyday experience in order to obtain immortality. Are you into this way of thinking? Imagine living past the age of 120 years. I wouldn't mind living that long!

If God makes a promise or covenant, even He can't change His mind? He even said He wanted to break the covenant at one point regarding the people of Israel but because of His loving mercy and grace He will give them a chance, in fact many chances. What if He is not pleased with the people He made the promise or covenant with. What if they don't keep their end of the bargain. Even God can't go back on a promise? Is this the one thing that God can't do? He has no choice but to restore the land of Israel regardless if the people please Him or not?

If God can do all things and nothing is impossible to God, then if He wanted to go back on a promise He can? God can do anything and whatever He wants? Or is even God binded by His word?

Why is it that 68% of the people believe in creation science and not evolution? There are many evidences to support evolution like how bacteria evolves and the fossils that the scientists have found but there is none for creation.

There are many things wrong with the idea of creation like how could the Earth be only a few thousand years old? overall, creation was what people came up with to explain what they could not just like they said that the Earth is the center of the universe.

I was talking to a guy about the Bible today, and we discussed John 2:5

"His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."

It's from the Wedding at Cana, and it's Mary telling the servers to do whatever Jesus tells them.

But this guy disagreed with me, and said, get this: "Mary isn't talking about Jesus when she says "he" because the "he" isn't capitalized (He). He said that always in the Bible the pronouns are capitalized if they are referring to God.

I said I had never heard of such a thing, and had never seen a Bible translation like that in my entire life. I know people do that in their writings as a personal devotion, but never once have I ever seen it done in a Bible.

So what's the verdict? Is he nuts or am I wrong?
