A resent answerer said that I would get sliced to ribbons if I stayed an unbeliever. Is that a good reason to believe? Why would god need to threaten me with a sword? He should just start hanging out with us here on his miserable creation, I'm sure he would get a few more believers.

The guy in question is a colleague. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but he isn't so polite about holding doors open etc. But always on an escalator -- maybe because the height difference on an escalator would be ideal if he was staring at my rear.

Raised as a Baptist my understanding of a relationship with Jesus meant that a person became "saved". We accepted Jesus as the Son of God, believed that He had died on the cross to save us because we were sinners, and were baptised by full immersion. After my salvation and acceptance at the age of 8 I became very worried about my friends who were:Presbyterian, Catholic and Greek Orthodox. I asked them if they were "saved". They asked me, "What?" I asked the adults around me, "Will my friends go to heaven?" "They will if they are saved". That was a really fun time in my life as I tried to work out what "saved" really meant, and why my friends didn't understand what I was talking about.
Has anyone else experienced this escatological
problem? Have you resolved it in your heart? Do you have peace with this issue?

My pastor preached about hell yesterday, and he related a story (I think he said it was in one of John Bevere's books)about a person who died and began a descent into hell. There was some creature or whatever that took hold of him to pull him into hell, but then another (from the illustration I assumed it was Christ) also grabbed him and said, "He is mine, you cannot have him." This person was then revived after 45 minutes and remembered this experience.
Okay, previously in church, I have always been told that these NDE's are just a crock. I was SHOCKED to hear this story coming from this pastor in this church (a pretty conservative AOG church). So I'm just wondering, Christians, where does your particular denomination stand on this subject? Are NDE's real, or are they some kind of hallucination or spiritual deception?

Which of the following is worse:

A. Not believing in God/Jesus and being honest about it
B. Believing in God/Jesus but denying that you believe
C. Not believing in God/Jesus but claiming/lying that you do believe

Many Christians may have an opinion as to which of the above is worse but I am more interested to know if there is a Biblical answer to this question.

Options A and C are the options of a non believer. We can either be honest about the fact that we do not believe or we can lie about it. Which is worse? Or it worse to be a believer and deny that you believe?

I'm just learning about wicca, so I really don't know much. Can I practice wicca spells or other spells and still be a true christian? Would I be abandoning my faith? Is it right?

Hi,

I've been invited to a black tie event but don't want to go rent a tux because it's out of town and I would need to rent it for several days therefore it would cost me a fortune (I don't have time to pick it up in the city where the event is).

I don't wear a suit for work but I need to wear one several times this year and mine atre all getting old so I thought it would be a good opportunity to refresh my wardrobe.

Will I look out of place in a black suit? I know that a cousin of mine and my sister's boyfriend will also be wearing suits. Will we be sticking out like three sore thumbs?

Normally I wouldn't really care but the occasion is for a very close relative of mine so I don't want to reflect badly on her.

Thanks,
DT

So many go to church, even proclaim they are studying to preach, but yet they cannot live it, and fall into lying, and cheating people in their business. Isn't that a greater sin, to proclaim to be a Chritian, and go to church, but yet cannot forgive, nor live their faith. I am talking about someone very close in our family, and has held a grudge for over 6 yrs, not allowing children to talk to their grandparents, but yet,goes to Catholic church every Sun.,also a worker, the same, cheated me, and lied to me, was studying to become a preacher. Are they just pretending to be Christians. I am a Christian, and simply cannot do these things as it just is not in me to do live as they are doing, are they just pretending to be 'Christians, or really think that they are?????..

Nothing against religion. Everybody his/her own. It's just hard to understand, why religious people claim ( I am going to haven your are not), they are better. It creates a peer pressure in the US with 65% claiming to be religious. I don't feel that pressure in Europe (25% religious) and it makes for higher tolerance. Wouldn't it be better, to leave religion totally out of politics and commerce, as our founders wanted it?

this is the opinion of Youth not older than 30 years in Europe

THIS PART IS JUST below the add selected alerts button in the middle of the article.

Apart from Iraq, American negatives run from a perceived gun culture, lack of healthcare, the influence of evangelical Christians, a lack of balance in the Middle East, commercialism, income gaps, and a lawyer-based society.

Younger Europeans say America defines much of the way the world thinks. Many say they are swimming in an ocean of American media.
