I have studied with this bible a bit, and I find it to be easier to understand, but very different from my bible.

Also I am not sure about all the Bible study aides that they give to me.

The reason I ask is because I know a lot of people who used to think they were "real" Christians, but now that they are atheists and agnostics, people say they were never "real" Christians. They thought they believed in Jesus, prayed and went to church, tried to love their enemies, read the Bible and always deferred to "God's word" when it came to the tricky bits. Well received in churches, they fit right in with "the brethren." But if one day someone wakes up and realizes that they don't really believe in Jesus and the Bible anymore, all of a sudden they "never were Christians." So, what happens to these poor souls who really thought they believed but apparently, according to popular evangelical doctrine, never really did? I know a lot of people who fit this description. Bottom line: they cried out to God and he did not answer.

Do you think there should be religion classes offered to high school students as an elective course? When i say religion classes I mean two things:

1) Background course that exposes students to many types of religions and theological ideas.

2) Course on a specific Religion (Christianty, Muslim, etc.) that gives main theological points and background of religion. This course could also serve as a study to expand the knowlegdge that the student has in the religion (Bible Study, etc.)

What do you think about these two ideas? I have to write a research paper on this so I wanted some other opinions and perspectives. Please be specific about your opinion and tell me WHY you think the way that you do. If you use any statistics please provide your source.

Can Satan and his minions hear the prayers of Christians here on earth? I asked this question to a few people whom I go to church with and one lady said "No" as long as I didn't "verbalize" the question?.... Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I just wonder why they do what they want. Like sacremnets and the Idea of confessing to a man ,and paying to light candels for prayor, and the massive amount of money, and the worship of saints , and heaven through works,worship of mary ,and preasts not having wives ,and bowing down in front of a statue and praying for st. peter or who ever to heal the sick or take care of the dead, and holy water and saint hood of the dead , and nuns, and castreto int the quire, and anulment and all the holy days they have , stations of the cross, ash wednesday,baptisim at birth. I could go on I was a catholic as I am sure you can tell until I had questions like these and never found a reasonable answer that is in the bible .I wonder who thought it all up and for what purpose why not go with the bible and what it teaches us what is the agenda. It looks like man trying to be God , If you can answer one paying to light a candle for the prayor why pay

Do you believe that those who do not believe in jesus deserve to go to hell? Even though they do not steal, murder or break any of the commandments other than not believing or worshipping god?

In the book of Revelation or something it is stated as a prophecy of God that Satan will rule the world in terror for seven years.

After that Jesus will descend from heaven to judge humanity.

So in that case, it could be said that as long as that incident does not occur then we won't be seing any Jesus.

So what we should be looking forward to is Lucifer ruling this world and then we would wait for seven years or something for Jesus to come.

Am I missing something?

I am 21 and have had severe depression since I was about 12. I took dozens of antidepressants over the years but after high school, they just quit working; they were actually making me more depressed. As I result, I turned to marijuana in order to lift my depression; it worked better than those evil pharmaceuticals. However, just recently, my doctor and I stumbled across a wonderful medication that truly gave me my life back: Adderall (it can be used for severe depression and I'm also ADHD). After all these years of searching, the perfect drug was found. But there's one problem...I developed an arrhythmia during this time, and as a result, I cannot take it. Every medication I take aggravates my heart condition. By the way, I stopped the marijuana many months ago and repented. Now here's what I'm getting at: I am saved and I love Jesus, but the depression still lingers. Could I lose my salvation if I went back to smoking pot? It's my only option at this point. There is no joy anymore.

question-do you think its better to live your life as a good and decent person not because you are expecting some reward when you die but because you think that its the right thing to do or because a book tells you that you have to and if you don't you will burn in hell
