Why do most ppl think that "goodness" on some level will gain them entrance into heaven?

No one in heaven will be there because they have been good, but because they ARENT , and are relying on the goodness of the ONE who died for them. Those are the ONLY ONES going to heaven , according to the Bible.

If you arent sure where YOU are going when YOU die...please contact me.

According to the site pagan-network.org/forums/showthread. (as at 20 June 2006) this person stated that 'the best approach is to complain that this [charity's] activity cannot be in the public benefit.' This person apparently used a website to offer advice on how to complain to the Commission against an evangelical Christian charity. He suggested methods for wasting its resources by inundating it with fake requests for help.

This is all tied up with The Charities Act 2006 removing the presumption that groups existing for the advancement of education, religion or relief of poverty provide public benefit. From early 2008 onwards such groups must prove their public benefit to obtain / maintain charitable status. This will put huge pressure on Christian groups to conform to ever-shifting values and public opinion, and to degrade their proselytising work.

I've nothing against pagans but wonder what's happening to British law. Why is freedom to spread the gospel so hated in a democracy

We can preach at them, beat them over the head with our Bibles, and quote scripture until we are blue in the face. How does that "prove" that God exists? What do you think you can do to prove that God exists?

Do you "earn" a drink based on the questions, on the questions 'they' ask; or both? Or can I just make up my own?


I know this may result in people *drinking* on my behalf. But, oh well, we only live once so go ahead - have one on me!

I'm not sure if it is because of the severe lag issues that have been happening these few days, maybe all the regulars got their accounts suspended, or people just decided to go outside today. What do you think?

Im not one of those overly religious people, infact I am not very religious to begin for various reasons so dont confuse me with the christians trying to convert you. But anyway, do the religious statements on money bother you(Check on bills and coins and youll see what I mean)? Just wanted to know.

isn't there enough of the real word and universe to explore and understand before you start on the 'spiritual' element.

Dear Christians, do you think that if you had been born an Iranian, into a Muslim family, that would you believe that
Mohamed was the one true messenger of God, and Jesus was a great prophet, but only human.
Or do you think you would convert to Christianity?

My Dad has a small business, a car lot. He has a great reputation, and he and my mom run the business, and they are both good Christians. Well, we got this customer who is a Christian, but I am afraid he misunderstands the Bible on some key issues. For example, he helps this elderly lady out, and openly admits that he does this because the Bible says he will reap rewards for doing so. That seems selfish to me, and the wrong reason for helping someone.

Well, anyway, the guy wants us to hold a car for him, because he says he "Claimed it" in the name of Jesus. But he doesn't have the money for it! And he expects us to just hold it for who knows how long until he gets the money. He keeps calling it his car, and I'm sure he thinks we're faithless because we refused to hold it for him.

Now the guy is coming at least every other day to our car lot and witnessing to our customers! He goes and prays over them, and has become a real nuisance.

How do we deal with this guy?

It was written by no less than 35 seperate authors and that is why it is full of contradiction.

The divine revelation sent to Jesus was lost.

The NT are bits and pieces of what people remember was said decades after Jesus left.

People babble on about prayer as a stress-reliever... but I've usually found that taking a good nap is just about as effective. How about you?
