I'm curious regarding this philosophy. I was Christian for 22 years and fell away about a year ago. Lately, I have broken nearly completely away. I'm still attracted to Christianity, however.
Are we only saved if we believe in Jesus, or are we saved forever if we once believed in Jesus?

past. But I've been praying for some money to come my way for some time, but instead I'm getting bad news every day. Right now I'm very mad at God, because I keep praying for a miracle that doesn't happen. I'm so discourage, I don't even go to church anymore. Today I even say god hates me, he is racist, and he chooses who he wants to get money. Why people who do bad things, as a matter of fact, people who don't believe in him are rich, while us who are glorifying him are struggling to pay our bills? The Bible says God is a rich God, why us he calls his children are not rich? Do I have the right to be mad? As a Christian, do you ever feel forgotten by God?

Hi, my name is Phil
Just wondering... Is saying "I believe" just out of fear of hell really going to ensure salvation...
It seems to me as though Pascal's Wager is simply used as some kind of insurance policy....
I don't know about you, but I'd rather not think of the Lord Jesus as an insurance policy that you stuff in your pocket and bring out at Christmas?
Shouldn't you believe out of love for Jesus instead of ultimate fear of hell? Is that really *believing*?

The Old Testament spoke of a place for the Faithful, Saints who believed. The letter to the Hebrews chap 10&11; Revelation also speaks of this place. Jesus during the 3 days after being crucified and before walking out early Sunday; fought Lucifer. He was fighting demanding and taking the deed and keys away from him allowing all who dwelt there to be free to enter Heaven. Is this where some have come to believe, there is a purgatory?

Why did the Catholic church not include the Gnostic Gospels into the Bible. Certain things are evident in the Gnostic Gospels and these are:
1. Mary Magdelene was an apostle of Christ.
2. Mary was Christ's favourite apostle and he taught her the most.
3. Peter was very jealous of Mary.
4. Mary was also Christ's lover.
5. Judas was asked by Christ to betray him which he did. He was just following Christ's wish.
6. Christ preached that all you had to do was keep God in your heart i.e. You don't need a religion to worship God.
No wonder the Gnostic Gospels were not included in the Bible . . .
There is no concrete evidence that the Canonical Gospels are true and there is no evidence that the Gnostic Gospels are true. So which do you believe and why? Please avoid emotions or feelings - reasons only please....

I have my beliefs; so, no negative comments is going to take that away! For BELIEVERS, what do you think God would want us to say to those who choose to persecute those who have faith??

So the so-called anti-Christ shows up, and atheists just give him a weird look and refuse to worship him as well. Then what? Will there be any YouTube worthy tantrum out of him?

Earlier in the year, when I stepped up to put together our ten year high school reunion with two others, I put down about $500 of my own money for a deposit for a club, based on the number of RSVPs we had already received, and we planned to pay me back as people started PAYING for their tickets.
Almost no one sent in money.
We were able to put together a smaller reunion, which was tonight, at a local restaurant, but we lost the deposit at the club we had previously booked.
One of the other committee members got up in front of the group while we were passing out thanks to everyone who helped, and told everyone how much money I was out, and asked people to donate to help pay me back.
I SWEAR, I didn't ask her to do that, and I didn't know she was going to. I'm worried now that everyone will think that it was me who was asking for it.
$75 was collected. Would you have been offended? Should I keep it?

If not, what is holding you back? Take the time right now to thank God for the sacrifice he made for you, accept that Jesus made the blood atonement for your sins, and ask him to come into your heart today.

How can one take religion seriously when you have something like Scientology with million of followers, can you imagine the number of followers in thousands of years. Holy molly.
Maybe Christianity thousands of years ago was the Scientology of today, who knows? If sicentology can drew up millions of followers in this time period, its makes you wonder does it not?
I do belive in GOD by the way.
Don't quote scripture, because scripture means nothing to a nun believer its like me quoting Darwin to you guys.

Christianity- Is the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Is that about right?

maybe all this seaching for God and fighting about God has all been for nothing...maybe we are God? after all we have that power of creation and destruction....if we as a human race really got our act together we would be like the legends of old...like Gods ourselves....maybe, just maybe...we are God and we haven't realized it yet...or prehaps we are like little Gods under the big God....or maybe the power of the true God is in us all...and We and God are one....any thoughts?
