Not reincarnation but just come back as another human and if that isnt the case than what happens when you die? No christian veiw points(or organized religion) please because I dont necessary believe in all the far fetched ideas. Mind you I was raised a Christian so I know their take on things. Please no rude remarks I am just asking a question I know how heated people can get over stuff like this.

Ecclesiastes 1:4 "...the earth abideth forever"

2 Peter 3:10 "the elements shall melt with a fervent heat, the earth also, and works that are therein shall be burned up."

What's this then?

Si on souhaite connaître la terre
Tournez votre visage aux spiritueux
Qui se cachent dans le bruyère
Et savent le parfum des abeilles

Je me suis reposé dans ces prés
Et et mis la terre à mes lèvres
Ainsi je peux embrasser notre mère
Et identifie son parfum antique

Il est vrai—sa vie couses!
Je sens sa vibration dans des mains
Et trembler de l'appréciation
Pour savoir les noms de ces spiritueux…

Est il possible pour que j'appelle
Ces spiritueux des noms oubliés
Avec des limites de mains d'hickory
Mais incapable d'être apprivoisé ?

Je ne suis pas ce sûr des spiritueux
Qui nu, danse avec le vent
Et boire les nuages comme le vin
Écoutera une voix si faible!

Ainsi j'offrirai à la terre mon sang
Ainsi les spiritueux auront leur vin
Mais, est mon vin different—
À la terre, qui m'a donné le raisin?

If God is perfect, his purpose must always be fulfilled. Why would he create us in an imperfect manner, where (even if its our free-will to chose our behavior) we will so often sin and then just go to Hell, which is eternal torture and apartness from God. That does not seem to make sense.

If we go to Hell, it would seem that God is defeated because his purpose is not fulfill. How could God be defeated? Hell does not make sense.

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."


3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

New international version as well as most of the new versions delete as much as 40 WHOLE verses. Not to mention the many words and phrases that were completely deleted from the NIV--it deletes over 64,000 words

Here is the list of the whole verses deleted in newer versions of the bible:

Or given the complement that we are articulate?

Why is this comment only given to black males and no one else. They never make this "complement" to other white people. They say this about Tiki Babar, Obama, OJ etc all the time. Only the black males...They are so "well spoken".

Well what the heck exactly is that supposed to mean, are our expectations THAT low?

I am leaving my job and moving on to another one. I've worked at this place for two and a half years, and have a very good rapport with all my co-workers and managers. I want to give them all a small gift (possibly the same thing), as a token of appreciation. All suggestions are welcome.

What would be the point ot torturing someone forever, if there is no hope for redemtion?

Wouldn't it just be better or more "merciful" to just have them disappear or something? The whole hell forever thing just seems pointless and sadistic

Again for the sake of argument let’s say you are God. Now please bear with me, I need a moment to set this up. Ok for those of you who don’t know the story of the transformation of Lucifer to "Satan".
You were anointed as a guardian cherub,
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
"But you said in your heart,
'I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars (angels) of God,
and I will sit on the mount of assembly
in the recesses of the north. (the highest position)
'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds (above God’s glory and throne); I will make myself like the Most High.'

This dude Satan led two thirds of the angels in heaven in rebellion.
As God, what would you do with Satan?

I need to quit my job--- suddenly. What are some excuses I could tell him? I am a young male in my early 20's... but I don't want my boss to hate me or be upset. I thought of a broken leg... but that would require quite a lot of acting and he is the kind of boss who likes to ask questions...

Thanks!!

For instance if someone asks a question about the bible and you recite a quote from the bible that answers the question it would be fact based considering the question was about religion or the bible, wouldn't you agree? Point being the bible says this and you asked if it was said and you proved it wouldn't that be considered factual? Whether you believe or disbeleive in GOD and the bible.
