Someone who believes in the facts that Jesus was the "Son of God" and died on the cross for all of humankind's sins, and also believes in the word of the Bible.

If this is true, then aren't all Catholics and Protestants and all other "sects" considered Christian?

If not, then why not?

We are all sinners. We all deserve Hell. We have lied, we have been unkind to others, some us have cheated and stole, etc.

God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that our sins might be wiped clean. We cannot go to Heaven without Jesus.

Imagine if I told you that a murderer got off scott free because he told the judge he was sorry. Imagine the outrage.

It is not enought to believe in a God and be sorry for what you have done. You must accept Jesus to avoid Hell. Only then, can your sins be washed clean.

Do you agree?

My daughter "witnessed" sort of in school today. There was a little girl speaking how she was afraid of ghosts and my daughter told her about Jesus and how to pray. She then taught her the Lord's Prayer and told her to no longer to be afraid. She did this innocently. She is 7 years old and just did it because she didn't want the little girl to be afraid. I was so happy. I was kissing her. She didn't even understand why it made me so happy. God bless our children!

I've been kind of a pantheist for several years now. I've been building altars at rivers and the bottom of trees, and making "offerings" to the earth, but I have followed a specific path nor do I know anyone else who worships like I do. Well, recently, when I meditate, I've been getting glimpses of "beings" in the trees, in the water. So I began to think that there may be actual gods and goddesses out there, and they were trying to get my attention. For the last week, I've been asking them for clarification and to reveal themselves to me, and the only thing that's changed about my meditation is I hear the sound of rushing water and a heavy feeling on my chest, and all I see clearly are beautiful exotic eyes.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? And if not, any tips on how to get clearer messages from the gods and goddesses through meditation?

Or if I just sound like I'm going insane, tell me that too, lol.

If so, what evidence do you have for believing that?

I don't understand why religious people talk about the bible and God and jesus and all of the rest like it is a fact. Like you people know these things are true. I don't follow religion, but I don't know, so I admit I don't know what is right about religion or God or whatever. I don't see why religious people act like all of that is the truth.

If you believe in god, fine, just say you believe. Instead, I always her people say "well God told me this, and God says this is going to happen". Thats silly. No one knows the answer.

of cults. Did Jesus not warn us to be careful
of who we associate with, less we be dragged down along with them.
Should we be friends with those types of people, would it not be better to avoid them but still pray that they will wake up some day
to the truth.

For some of you, this seems to be the only way to understand/accept the reality of AIDS. Please think carefully if you feel inclined to believe that AIDS is a plague on the gay community before you write. I would appreciate thoughtful answers. Of course, all are welcome to answer. Namaste!

okay so he told them not to eat the fruit right? okay but wasnt the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and bad? so isnt it possible that they couldve committed any other sin also because they didnt know it was bad? now I understand by knowing the difference between both would also help them in doing something bad but by knowing the difference, wouldnt they be able to tell what is good and what isnt?

so why did god punish them for not listening to him? how were they supposed to know it was "bad" until after they ate and realized that what they did was wrong? if they knew then I could understand, but they had no way of knowing until after eating the fruit.

OK, you have decided that you can tell me who God is. You the Devine 1; you the Chosen 1, you the mere mortal man that had an opportunity to consider your answer but whole-heartedly decided that you can not only tell me Gods name you can PROVE of its existence. In so doing you have just PREJUDICED about 30 other belief systems, have demonstrated a biggoted attitude of "I am right and they are wrong"; and have proved that you are nothing less than a disillusioned fool. You who would proudly announce the name of who your God is, have slapped more than a billion people in the face by making this statement that you have no ability to support or to prove. Do you wonder why your world is nothing but a mass of confusion? Because YOU not God have decided what IS God. Excuse me, by what authority to you speak? Because one thing I can demonstrate at this precise moment is that You who know Gods name don't know if you will even be alive 1 minute from now. Time seems to be GODS. Not yours. Get it?

Why are there so many theories of evolution, at least 6 of them. Then they compress all these stories and put them into our childrens textbook like it was just one theory. Nice and neat right?

How can these lies be taught in our schools?

Does anyone find this to be intellectually dishonest?

This is a poll about what you think the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) teaches. In your opinion, which statements are taught in the LDS church? Please state whether you are an active member of the LDS church or not. Thank you.

1. The way is prepared from the fall of man, and salvation is free.

2. There is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah.

3. It is only in and through the grace of God that you are saved, after you are reconciled to God.

4. Salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which God himself made for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

5. And since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself; but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins, through faith and repentance, and so forth.
