so that they can be the first to answer with all the same garbage they always do of "They don't exist"?

A Christian girl just posed a completely legitimate question about gettin into heaven

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnA6IgwP2Xn74wYWdzzRn2rd7BR.?qid=20070616095701AApwDXr

and the first 4 out of 7 answers were "Doesn't exist" from Athiests... THX appreciate YOUR INPUT but GUESS WHAT?

YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION. why? CAUSE YOU'RE ATHIESTS. You prolly dont' even realize that you're bein ignorant pricks, and if you don't that makes you stupid as well.

Sayin it doesn't exist isn't an answer... it's an assumption, and she ASKED the question UNDER the assumption that it DOES exist and you just decided to change that.

Athiests bein here is almost as useless as a deathrow blessing, you can't answer questions about the our Faith COS YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN IT.

Why or why not?

If you are a Christian (or even non-Christian) and don't know who Saint Thomas Aquinas is, you really ought to get your nose out of the bible sometimes to read works of the great Christian philosophers.

How do we know that EVERYTHING in the Bible is inspired from God? Human WROTE the bible CLAIMING to be inspired from God's words but have no proof. Sure some of the things in the bible are true, but most of those predictions were ALL COMMON SENSE! "Is it not common sense that a 3rd tower would be rebuilt in Israel?", "Is it not common sense that Israel would once again become a nation?".

I'm not saying "GOD DOESN't EXIST!" but what I am saying is that "NOT EVERYTHING IN THE BIBLE IS INSPIRED FROM GOD!". You have no proof that EVERYTHING IS INSPIRED FROM HIM.

YOU MUST BE THE JUDGE AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG!

Are you against homosexuality because of a Phobia? Or is it TRUELY because "God said so?"

Did you know that when you say things like, "God said so" it makes you sound stupid!?

Example:

"Why do plants grow?"
"Because God makes it grow~"

Please don't use god for an EXCUSE of your CLOSE MINDEDNESS and for YOUR IGNORANCE!.

"Jesus saith, I am the way the truth and the life, no one cometh unto heaven but by me." John 14:6

As a Jew I was born to believe that God lied and that I could be good enough to get to heaven without a blood atonement to forgive my sins.

Moses said "Without the innocent shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it upon the altar to make atonement for your sins." Leviticus 17:11

where is your forgiveness of sins?? can you be better than Jesus and earn your salvation. If you die and only told one lie-can you forgive your own lie-can your religion-Jesus says no=

"Except you repent, and be born again you can not see the kingdom of heaven." John 3

the words of Jesus from heaven Revelation 1:1&3:19&20 "I love you and ask you to repent quickly, Behold I stand at your heart door and knock, if you hear my word and ask me in, I will come in forgive your sins and be your friend."

Jesus is my righteousness

Last night an old man died. He was an alcoholic who always put booze ahead of the needs of his family. He spent the last year in a nursing home, being contrary and rude, never showing gratitude to those who went out of their way to bring comfort and dignity to his final days.

When his daughter-in-law, my younger sister, called his family and friends, the only person who cried was his old bartender.

Now here is the part I find interesting. Last night before he died, he looked at the photo of his wife and said, “I can’t find her.” His wife died of cancer a couple of years ago. He was verbally abusive throughout her illness. Now he seemed to be looking for her as he died, and he couldn’t find her.

Right before my grandmother died, she thought her son who died of a brain tumor was standing beside her bed. This seems to be fairly normal to feel the presence of loved ones who had passed on.

Just curious how people of different faiths view this?

about 5 years ago, my employer (here in western europe) brought over a couple of american engineers from one of the branches of our company in the U.S. one of them with whom i now share my office just happened to be a black american. as he gradually became accustomed to living and working here in europe, he eventually met a very nice attractive, educated woman who was quite interested in him (they have been married now for two years and are very happy), but he seemed reluctant to pursue any kind of relationship with her. when i spoke to him in private about this matter at that time, he told me that he didn't want to deal with all the problems and trouble that an interracial relationship would cause. i was very surprised to hear this, but he explained that it would be a very problematic relationship in the states, and that he assumed it would be the same here. we often discuss the matter of race in the U.S., and i would like to know if it really is such a big issue there.

I go to a private high school where we have to wear uniforms which sucks! When your a senior you don't have to wear uniforms for the month before school ends but all the underclassmen do (May 10?-end of year) as a senior priviledge for us. So I am thinking since we dont need the uniforms anymore to tie all the shirts, skirts, pants, anything uniform together and extend it from the library window to a light pole. (This will be a long ways and everyone will be able to see it!) I think it will go great! Do you think this is any good? Any ideas to extend from it? Thanks.

Christian publications are great.
Your own thoughts are great.
Ask the Holy Spirit on my behalf is great(er) hehe.
Bible references in addition to from 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete."

thank you much!

Christians read and accept it but it isn't mean't to REPRESENT Christians. Christ's teachings and way of life are what Christians are spposed to live up to. The New testament is what we are supposed to use as our guide.

The Old Testament is was represents Jews. The NT is what represents Christians and the Quran represents what Islam stands for.

Christians just accept the OT but dont' live their life accordingly. We focus on Christs teachings.

Do you use the Old Testament to bash Muslims?

I have heard there is one sin that cannot be forgiven. How does one go about commiting this sin? Would I have to say it out loud? Would calling the Holy Spirit bad names be sufficient? How would I know if I were successfull, besides waiting to die and seeing if I am in Hell?

I would get ill if I saw people in hell, on fire and suffering. I would try to help them regardless of whom they did or did not worship. If I was all powerful, I would destroy the fire pit and help those poor people.

Whenever you have to buy a present for someone, whether it is for a birthday, Christmas, or Mother's Day, what are some good things to get? A lot of people that I know, including myself, are sick of buying chocolate, flowers and perfume. Do people just expect these, or are there alternatives?
