.....can we declare that any new religion invented as from today is necessarily false?
Should this declaration be backdated and how far?

I'm trying to take a survey, please state which view you feel more closely aligned to and what your religious status is and how religious you are.

Or why are they attracted to men who are more likely to mistreat them, and put them down? Should I become more like them? Is it an age thing, or are womens brains just smaller and not capable of determining negative associations? hmmm...? Maybe I'll just call them B@#$hes and Hoes...?

Humans cannot go to heaven with bodies of flesh and blood

1 Cor. 15:50: “This I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.”

John 3:6: “What has been born from the flesh is flesh, and what has been born from the spirit is spirit.”

Only persons who have been “born again,” thus becoming God’s sons, can share in the heavenly Kingdom

John 1:12, 13: “As many as did receive him [Jesus Christ], to them he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name; and they were born, not from blood or from a fleshly will or from man’s will, but from God.” (“As many as did receive him” does not mean all humans who have put faith in Christ. Notice who is being referred to, as indicated by verse 11 [“his own people,” the Jews]. The same privilege has been extended to others of mankind, but only to a “little flock.”)

Rom. 8:16, 17: “The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children. If, then, we are children, we are also heirs: heirs indeed of God, but joint heirs with Christ, provided we suffer together that we may also be glorified together.”

1 Pet. 1:3, 4: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for you.”

What will they do in heaven?

Rev. 20:6: “They will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.”

1 Cor. 6:2: “Do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world?”

Who has read it, what were your thoughts? Terrible case made, and if so why?

I thought the part about the corraborating evidence (other writings that refer to Jesus) was interesting, as well as the verification process that the information/history of what was written in the Gospels actually happened.

If he can do anything, why didn't he just "make" some more sons so that he doesn't feel bad about his one and only son?

[I'm not asking this to mock any religion. I was just wondering about this and that's why I asked.]

I am not talking about any supernatural being, powers, or miracles. Put that aside. Do you feel that he existed, or could have existed, as a human being?

Whats your way of dealing with unsolicited callers on the telephone?

Are the just 'doing a job' or are they intruding on your personal time and should be given short shrift?

Has anyone EVER bought/agreed to anything from a call like this?

I realize this is a hypothetical, but I was reading a question from Linz and decided to rephrase it.

I am not presuposing who God is for the purpose of this question. Take your pick or comment on as many as you like. I'm also not saying "I have proof", my goal here is just to get your honest answers nothing more...just curious.

Some possible choices to frame your answer with:

1) Jewish God
2) Christian God
3) Muslim God
4) Hindu God (s) (pick any you like)
5) Norse, Greek
6) Deist, cosmic-consciousness
7) Other

If they don't obey God & renew their mind in the Word of God? If they don't obey God & build their faith by hearing & hearing a Word about Christ / God?

It is written that he who is an overcomer is born of God, and that our victory is our faith. So? Faith is sooo important. Faith in Jesus Christ atonement & resurrection & in His Word.

Ok, a slight twist on Pascals wager.


Is it beter to still exist, but do so in hell or

or would you rather not exist after you die.


(this is just me, I'm not speaking for anyone)

I would rather still exist, yet be in hell (I doubt I will have any nerves to feel pain, and no ears to hear gnashings of teeth)

so if there is a choice between living my life as a lie, yet being a good and kind person, and then being in Hell on a technicality (once I am dead I will know if god exists, then my sin of disbelief doesn't exist anymore), I'll say; 'sorry, right you are then' and then go to heaven.

or pandering to a man-made concept on the off-chance that it wasn't made up just to control the masses and extort money and power off them.
