I told a christan that going to heaven should be judged by your deeds not on whether you belive that jesus was the savior or not... He told me im going to burn in hell forever and i politly asked him hell must not be so hot if one can burn in it forever and not really burn then he grunted and left back to my question according to the bible only christans can go to heaven right So all the Native Americans who worshiped many gods but helped plently of people(when africans ran from thier slave masters native americans took them in) they should go to hell but the slave masters who were chirstans get to go to heaven even though they did something terrible just because they belive jesus was the savior So why can christans only go to heaven

My parents were Christian missionaries. I spent the first seven years of my life in Zimbabwe where I grew up among people who sacrificed easy comfortable lives in their home country in order to help the poor in Africa: doctors, nurses, teachers and ministers who dedicated their lives to building hospitals and schools and supplying medical help and education to the people of Zimbabwe. You can imagine how it annoys me when I see questions posted by people in this forum pointing fingers to Christianity as the source of all evil and pleading for religion to be banned. To me they seem to believe a lie. That is why I did a search on the internet to find some proof of what Christians are doing worldwide. I found this and saved it on my laptop, but I know for certain that it is only the tip of an iceberg:

1. Last year alone, CBN Partners:
 provided medical treatment to over 785,000 people;
 drilled clean, fresh water wells and cisterns for over 425,000 thirsty people;
 ended the suffering of over 625 children through cleft palate surgery;
 provided hundreds of thousands of meals;
 paid the school tuition and gave supplies to thousands of young students.

2. Emmanuel Activity Centre (EAC)
COH runs a day activity centre called Emmanuel Activity Centre (EAC), serving people who have:
Down’s syndrome
Intellectual disabilities
Autism spectrum disorder
Cerebral palsy
Multiple disabilities

3. We operate across the spectrum of violent conflict: from displacement to repatriation, from rehabilitation to the re-development of conflict-damaged communities. CORD’s key sectors are education and livelihoods. Our work also addresses cross-cutting issues: child protection, gender violence, trauma, HIV/AIDS, environmental issues and forgiveness and reconciliation.


And if you feel you could help instead of criticizing other people, here’s a useful website:

Now tell me: Do you honestly believe that religion should be banned?

Much of the world is celebrating today as the 800th birthday of the wonderful Persian Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi.

When there is currently so much enmity towards Muslims and the Muslim world, it can a real benefit to reconnect with the power and beauty of that civilization's most lovely contributions. And it doesn't get more lovely than Rumi (who, for some years now, is the most widely read poet in the world, including the Americas).

This question was asked by someone else a couple weeks ago, but it feels especially fitting to ask it again today:

Do you have favorite poems from Rumi you'd like to share?

Here are a pair I am especially fond of ....

Last night I dremt that I was in a beautiful palace sitting in front of a hugh throne, and seated in the throne was a big red scaley monster with horns. In front of us was an enourmous hourglass and were were both staring at it restlessly, but the monster was patting me on the head saiding "be patient my son" and it made me feel reassured.
It was so vivid that I just have to know what it meant, I've been thinking about a career change lately so maybe it has something to do with that. Can anyone help?

Why are we even bothered that not everyone shares our way of thinking? Why are fanatic believers try so hard to convince atheists, and atheists also try their best to "save" believers from delusions?
I know it's been said a thoulsand times, but can't we just agree to dissagree?

or do you find that most people say one thing and do another?
it seems to me that as a rule at best lip service is rendered to their beliefs as a means of being accepted by others-is a same as the world would be a much nicer place if people would practice what they preach== thanks for any answers and hope you all enjoy the day

Does the average Jew believe in their unitary god just as strongly as the average Christian believes in their three in one god? Or as strongly as the average Roman believed in their multiple manifestation of divinity?

By accepting Jesus' death and allowing Him to enter our hearts; we become ' saved.' I prefer to say, " I've come into a personal relationship with Jesus." Being saved isn't a one-time experience. We need to walk daily with Jesus. Attending Mass often, gives us grace to stay close to Jesus. Partaking of the Eucharist, brings Jesus into the center of our very spirit and allows Him to reign within us, guiding us into a life centered in Him.

Truth is, WE ARE SAVED! The very blood that saved that man witnessing on the street is the same blood that has saved you and me! As Catholics we are Christians saved by the blood of Christ! You and I have been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit in baptism. We are fed with Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist. We receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation. We are SAVED and don't let anyone try to tell you that you aren't!

This is what we believe in so how can you say Catholics are not saved?
