Repent! Repent!
From sin you must relent.
Step up to the golden plate,
Time to transubstantiate!

Does the bible condemn governments or rulers their ability to create money out of nothing?

My parents went bankrupt on $145,000 less than ten years ago, and they're working their way back up to that again. They've just bought a house, and two brand new cars. My dad only makes about $17/hour and my mom about $15/hour. They have several credit cards, probably maxed and they just spend and spend without EVER saving a dime. If they have an extra $200 one week, they think it's just extra spending money, and don't save or invest a dime. When my mom bought the last car, I told her that I was worried because she and my dad are pushing 50 and haven't a penny saved, and she said that all she cares about is making the monthly payments and she doesn't worry about saving because "she won't be here forever and she assumes that one of us (her 4 kids) can handle it when they're gone"!!! I can't believe that. So basically, she's living the high life and racking up all this debt expecting US to deal with this later. My husband and I are only 25 and have a baby, I don't want to have to pay off

When you die, why do you FIRST go up to heaven? Why does God judge if you've been good enough? Wouldn't it make more sense for Satan to judge if you've been evil enough to go to hell? Or should it be decided at a neutral location?

I need a costume idea. It has to be on the cheaper side and I work at a bar, so it has to be compact enough for me to work with it and for people to work around me. Give me some ideas!!!

Dont you think the Bible portrays humans as little evil worms. Unworthy of Gods love? Evil by design, and in need of repetence.

What a distorted view of human nature.

For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him to serve you.
2 Corinthians 13:4

I find it comforting to know God's power can give us strength...
How has God given strength to you ?

How long did it take for you to get over the feeling of "What if I'm wrong?" and "What if there really is a Hell?" or other such similar feelings? Or, did you ever have those feelings? And if you did, do you still get them occasionally?

Also, what do you consider yourself to be now?

I have experienced prejudice and discrimination all my life in the good ole U S of of A. I'll give you some examples. Today, I was standing in line in the deli and there was an asian lady in front of me, I was standing behind her with my cart against the produce waiting for my turn. By the way, I'm asian too. Anyway, this caucasion guy cuts in front of me and asks for some kind of meat, being oblivious that he should have ask me if I was in line. And when he was waiting for his meat, after the asian lady left, it was my turn. He said "Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were with her." I said "You assumed that I was with her because I'm also asian." Then he goes "I didn't say anything about you being asian." I was nodding my head "No".I'm thinking in my head that actions speak louder than words.
The other time I was at the library with my son checking out some books waiting in line. This caucasion lady asks if the kid (who was dark skinned) in front of me was my kid (I'm kinda tan too).

I could post multiple situations but I'm going to only list two.

A child is born into a faith besides Christianity. His parents force him to follow this religion all His life and he grows to become a man and never bothers with the Christan faith and never ask Jesus to forgive him. Do these people burn in Hell.

Also within the past month i had a friend commit suicide. He had illnesses such as depression and a family history of Bipolar. He ended his life because he was in so much pain that he simply could not go on. He wanted to live but the situation he was in seemed impossible for him to get out. Do suicides go to Hell. (a local church seems to think so without even knowing a person and there situation).
