One of my teachers used to tell me when I was very young that people who weren't Christian would go to either Hell or purgatory. But my father believes in Christ and everything that Christians believe in! If he isn't officially Christian, what is taught about that? :-/

Satan managed to kick up a fuss in heaven, Will Chrisitans be able to do the same after an eternity of singing and floating around with a joyful grin on their faces. Will you be able to get bored. After all Satan manage negative emotions.
Did God go whoops after booting Satan out and decided to take away every ones free will to rebel in heaven.

and through my meltdown this morning i realized that god is trying to show me that humans are going to fail you. They are going to hurt you. They will wrong you even family. But he showed me that HE wont do those things to me. He wont lie to me. He wont hurt me. He wont be fake. His love isnt conditional. His love is unconditional. I thought to myself if i reannuce my commiment to christ what it would feel like to NOT have him close by and the thought of not being able to call out to him whenever i need him was beyond scary to me. God has open ears 24/7. And thats what i need to lean on....God. He's going to fill the void inside of me. What people did wrong he will make right....there was a reason for everything that took place in my life......I see it now. I guess thats how much he loves me. I think that god has been whispering to me that he doesnt want to deprive me of the healthy things i enjoy .. the only thing he asks for is my soul. I thought for the longest time that God would

how do you comfort a loved one? when a Christian loses a spouse they at least have something to look forward to (even if its false). They just have that comfort. My spouse knows that I'm atheist, but cannot accept or cope with "the end" whenever it may be. He says if I die first he can't think that he'll never see me again. Its so sad! I sometimes wish I were religious, but I can't pretend to believe something that I think is rubbish. I guess I sacrifice unfounded joy for my integrity.

MMkay, this was one of the arguments I thought of when I was first starting to see the cracks and holes in the bible about 4 years ago:
1. We are created in God's image.
2. God will send us to hell if we don't believe in him and worship him.
But if a human (who is supposedly created in God's image) asked someone to worship him, he would be an egotistical freak, who would be deeply flawed. So wouldnt this make god deeply flawed and not worthy of our praise...?

and another:
1. God supposedly loves us very much
2. He sends us to hell if we don't believe in him

If he truly loved us, why doesn't he spell it out in they sky to believe in him, why does he leave so many holes in his story, why does he tell us to have "faith", if he truly loved us, he wouldn't make us choose when we have inadequate evidence and then punish us for making a mistake. Also, what about someone living in the middle of a rainforest who has never even heard of god? why would he punish them for eternity?

Example: Seventh Day Adventist say that we are required to attend Church on Saturday, 7th Day, and eating pork and shelfish is a sin. Mormons have different ideas. The so-called "Jehovah's Witnesses" belive that there is no hell fire and never will be for the lost souls. Some Pentecostals belive that a true Christian speaks in tongues, (unknown language.) Adventists do not believe that the Pentecostals are really speaking in tongues. The Church of Christ do not believe we should use musical instrument in Church and that naming a Church as Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, ect anything other than the Church of Christ or Church of God is disobeying the Gospel and you are lost. "Jehovah's Witnesses," Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventist are considered heretics or cults by the others. Catholics believe that Christians should pray to the Mother of Jesus because they think she and dead Christians can hear them and answer prayers I guess. Catholics see Protestants as in apostasy

there are a large number of contributors who obviously cannot spell nor do they have a grasp of the fundamental use of the english language. Please use the spell check, otherwise you just seem to be totally uneducated and your otherwise lucid comments are ignored. This is not a criticism but a comment.

This has probably been asked here before, but I'm still fairly new, so sue me. LOL

In arguments against homosexuality, specifically against homosexual marriage, a common theme comes up: procreation. God (the Christian God, in this case) intended sex is for procreation...since homosexuals can't procreate by having gay sex, it's unnatural, and therefore wrong. Sex is only to be within a marriage, and its purpose is to have children. You get the idea.

For those who use this argument, how does this apply to the infertile? Is a marriage not valid or "less than" if it cannot produce children? What if a couple -- gay or straight -- adopts rather than having biological children?

Paul said, "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food; but God will destroy both it and them" ( 1 Cor 16:13 ).

On this basis , some cults - including New Agers and Jehovah's Witnesses- argue that the resurrection body will not have the anatomy or physiology of the preresurrection body ( Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie, 1965,354 )

My Church is considering ordaining openly gay people. It is also considering blessing the unions of same sex couples. This has, of course, casued a massive debate with the church. But let's be clear here: the church I belong to is faithful to the scriptures in every other way. It is only on this point where such disagreements over interpretation exist.

Would you still consider us a Christian church if we decide to do these things?

I was baptized 3 weeks ago(and 2 days), I'm 18.

When I got baptized the branch president told me that Sunday I would get the HS, priesthood, and entered into the quorum as a prospective elder.

Well I only got the HS, and then someone told me they usually give converts the priesthood 3 weeks after the confirmation...

Is that true? If so, will I get it tomorrow? If it's not true, then when will I get it and how will I know?
