I'm not going to try and tell you you should believe in god or anything, so dont worry. I'm just kind of trying to figure out my own beliefs right now and i think i might be agnostic, but that's the thing that i'm struggling with right now, death. How do you find peace with the possibility that death could really be the end?

I see answers about true christians here and there. I wonder what makes a christian true?

For example, in the past the church started things like crusades etc. So some will say they weren't true christians. However I ask this, if they were merely listening to their religious leaders then they were sincerely following their faith. Were they not true christians in that sense? As far as they knew they were.

What makes a true christian today?

SDA's say you have to be an SDA to be a true christian.
JW's say you have to be a JW's to be a true christian.
Mormons say you have be a mormon to be a true christian.
Protesants say you have be their denomination to be a true christian (though some will relent on this one.)
Catholics say you have to be a catholic to be a true christian.
Some say you have to believe the trinity to be a true christian.
Some say that if you sin at all you are not a true christian.
Some say you have to be elected to be a true christian.

Why do people think muslims worship it and that if it was destroyed, Islam would vanish? It wouldn't. That is simply a building. Nothing more, nothing less. It's been rebuilt many times. It's a point of unification, so that when a muslim prays there are others praying with him/her, like a big family. What do you think of this quote?

"The original shrine of Abraham has been rebuilt many times over the millenia. It eventually took the form of a large, stone, cube-shaped building. It stands about two stories high and measures about thirty feet across both ways. Its four corners are aligned with the four points of the compass, and a black meteorite, said to have been a part of Abraham's original construction, is situated in the easter corner. This building is the Ka'bah, or Cube."

"Tragically, with the passage of many generations, Abraham's original goal for the city to be a center of monotheism dissipated. Idolatry crept into the lives of the people who lived in and

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.


9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

He said only Catholics were able to gain Salvation. Also that other churchs weren't really churches because their leaders did not evolve from a succession of apostles.
