There is no denying that this world is "sinful" as Jesus witnessed himself.

Yet the answer that there will be salvation in another life is inadequate. This is because the source of Jesus's suffering, if it could be identified with other sufferers of the world at large, is also the source of Jesus's ressurection. That may lead to the conclusion that Christianity is only a transcendental religion, with no care for the reality of this world - that the suffering felt in this world is only answered by the salvation in another.

I am inclined to believe that Jesus had another message that would also make the life in the world important also. As the Bible states, God was good and therefore all that he created was good also.

So between the inherent goodness of this world and the world we know today, what are Christian's task in this world?

In my university they are planning to ban smoking and their primary argument is that people devlop skills at university and use it all their life. However i have to come up with an argument against that. I am not able to find out what but my professor said that this argument and the ideology that goes with it is flawed. I was wondering if someone who could help me pin point that. Thanks

I am just asking because of my ignorance about Christ's second coming and the final judgment as written in Revelation. Will he judge those who have already died and gone to heaven or hell or will he only judge those still alive on earth?

I know there are many who are much more knowledgeable about the scripture than I am and I wanted to know what others have read or think.

I read in the newspaper that a bus fell off the hill and crashed on the river bank and killed 26 Christians and other Christians are injured. The bus wasn't suppose to be driving on that hill anyway. But Atheists think that God suppose to save these people.
Do you know how many people on this Earth?

Would you be able to babysit 7 Billion children all by yourself?

God is one self, and he can't do all the work, oh come on.

The people on that Bus took a risk and ignored the rule
when they knew that they are not suppose to be on that hill.
Maybe the people don't know that, but maybe the bus driver
did.

Why Atheists are so angry and dislike the way God handle
things?

I really still do believe but I'm gay and I can't help it. Anyone have a suggestion for a religion that is almost exactly like being Catholic but it accepts gays and bis.

When an atheist argues, "If God existed, he would do X"?

Does it seem presumptious for someone to claim how an infinite being would behave?

Are you, as a theist, guilty of the same thing?

The devil plan is to destroy people's lives. From what i have read in the Bible i havent read much about the Devil keeping u from what u want or the devil controlling some1's life. Do u believe that Devil could intervene in some1's life. Like causing destruction and blocking your blessings?

I hear these things from atheists a lot. I don't understand why. Could be that mabe we studied it out in our own minds and came to the conclusion that threre is a God? Could it be that it is the Athiests who are "brainwashed" or "decieved"?

As we know: we all sin.
according to the bible this ten things are a sin:

1) take someones life (murder)if you've done this you are a murderer and you may not enter may not enter the kingdom of heaven.
2) lying (it doesn't matter how big the lie is, telling 1 lie in your live is enough to be a sinner and you may not enter the kingdom of heaven.
3)stealing.( it does not matter how valuable the stolen object is,if it belonged to someone else you are a thief and you may not enter the kingdom of heaven.

the list goes on till 10...doing 1 sin out of 10 is good enough to be considered as guilty for all 10!=/ by God

now, we all know almost all of us people done at least 1 of these sins right?
now then, how can one man be considered good in the eyes of God,and how are we possibly able to get in the kingdom of God if we die?
