ONLY by the cross....or does it just say threw him we are saved.

I am searching for another way into heaven with him, other then sacraficing him to get in. Or for a perfect path into heaven.

Thank you.....

I am looking for WE NEED TO SACRAFICE HIM....that he HAD to take the fall for us. Without his Blood we all would go to hell. Witch is wrong in my eye's. For there has to be another way that no one searched for, that is why he sent his son to die for us, no one looked for this path and he made a easy path for you with his son. To be created to be thrown into hell sounds wrong and have no choice to sin. And we do not have a choice, we all have to sin...no one has ever really been freed from it. We just look at the blood to get into heaven...even if we are "still"sinners.



So is there a bible verse that HE HAD TO be crusified for our sins? That ONLY BY THE BLOOD. or is it only threw him(no mention of the blood)that we are saved?

Christians believe humans got free will.
Actually atheists also know that we got free will.

I can choose whether to eat or sleep with free will.

That means that God did not predestinate anything.

Would you Christians shock if I said that infact humanity could be compared to a novel?

A novel with a complete story in it all the way from the start to the end.

Our life is in fact predestinated by God.
Every single move you make is predestined!

Why?

The key lies in the fact that God has foreknowlegde of the future.

Lets compare our lives to a movie production.

If you are the producer you would know exactly what the story would be like even if the movie hasn't been produced yet.

God created humanity with a story plot and knew exactly what would happen even before He created us.

Free will is just a mechanism in our story.
Cars need fuel to run. Humans need free will to run.

We feel like making choices when in actual our destiny is already written!

I dont believe in anything speific, but I have been reading the Koran and it got me thinking about religion in general. Think about how MANY religions there are today. Can you really blame someone for not believing in you speifically if you were God? Especially when every religion promises something bad if you dont?

I think that as long as you know right from wrong and really do the best as a human you will be fine. Right? Input from every religion would be great!

The word "Rapture" never appears in the Bible. No one single verse of Scripture supports it. You have to string together two or more unrelated verses to even justify the concept. Will I go to Hell for denying that as a doctrinal belief, even if I affirm the remaining tenants of Christianity?

Both Xmas and Easter are originally Pagan holidays. Since Christianity views Paganism as evil, why bother celebrating a holiday that has Paganism at its roots????

Yeah i would like to start a club at my school. I would like it to be sort of like a club that helps the world and communities out. Like help more people come aware of the small things they can do to conserve energy or do things to raise money for people in need or children or help put smiles on people in the war. My school already has a key club that raises money and stuff for the children's hospital and a couple things for the soldiers but i would like to start another club that concentrates on the small things also that will do a lot of help. Any ideas on clubs that are like that or one i should make (like name ideas) would be great thank you! Also if you have any ideas on fundraisers or any small things to help out with please let me know and thank you =]

In Biblical times, people were identified by whom they descended, from where they came from, and which ethnicity they were (which is why names were listed like the following: Jesus of Nazareth, Lydia of Thyatira, etc.). This is because, in these times, others judged people according to these different aspects. Now let’s look at the second of three ‘strikes’ against Jesus: He was from Galilee.

Galilee was like the Iraq of yesteryear, and mentioning this land to the Romans would have much of the same effect. The Jewish historian Josephus said that Galileans “from childhood were trained for war” and “[Galilee] produced the most notorious leaders of the [Jewish] fight against Rome.” It would be safe to say that the Romans would be incredibly suspicious of anyone who came from this place, and would become hostile against any Jew from Galilee, knowing that these people were most likely trying to undermine and overthrow the Roman social order. Add to that trying to preach the crucifixion of Jesus, the punishment for rebels against Rome, and this would have greatly supported the already negative stereotype of the Galileans.

Why would a Roman follow some rebel who is thought to be trying to overthrow Roman rule? Supporting Jesus would have been like treason to the Roman Empire. By following Jesus, a Roman would have been cut off, mocked, or even killed along with the other rebels. Only something like the resurrection of Jesus, firmly backed up by evidence and eyewitnesses, would have explained the uncanny spread of Christianity into Rome.

(For those who want to object to Jesus’ existence and crucifixion, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aesLSOLuapM )

This is a question that has always interested me, so what do you think? Does music, movies, and television really have a negative affect on us?

It seems like too often violent or otherwise controversail entertainment is the fault for an act of crime. Be it school shootings, rapes, robberies, arson, whatever. I ask because I personally feel that we do put too much fault on it.

For example, Marilyn Manson has had a profoundly great impact on me. He has inspired me to look at anything in an objective view, go to college, and all around continue to stay active in life. Yet, he has been blamed for bad things in our country. Then there's Grand Theft Auto. For me, its a great game for me to unwind to, yet in reality, I know that violence is barbaric and those crimes are bad.

But thats just me. What do you think?

Last week, we were using laptops and she was talking about some of the emails students were sending each other. She said they were 'gayish' and 'lesbianish' and that she would tell the parents because she thinks they should know what they're students are emailing. Then earlier today, she said that she hates when she sees girls in school and can't tell if they are male or female. She apparently thinks it's wrong.
Do I have a right to be offended? What's your opinion? Should I just ignore all the things she says and just show up to school dressed in mens clothing?

I mean, I know WHY, but this is the thing I don't get; When you go outside wearing black, your shirt will get warmer over time than the person next to you wearing a lighter color, because it doesn't reflect light so it obsorbs all the light. so if brown skin is supposed to helped the africans from sun damage, then why is their skin sun absorbing? And why is it that white people have skin & and eyes that are more of a reflective color if they hardly got any sun? (sometimes)

Jesus died for us on the cross so that we could be forgiven for our sins.

Why would Jesus sacrifice Himself when He did not even know if we were going to sin or not?

Because humans sin. There are no exceptions since no one is going to be sinless.

So it could then be said that we must accept Jesus as our savior due to the fact that we have or will sin in our lives.

Does that mean if we happen not to sin we wouldn't need to accept Jesus since we have a clean heart?

Could a deaf down-syndromed person sin? I doubt it.
Who doesn't know isn't wrong.

In that case Jesus didn't die for the down-syndromed people I guess?

So the question is:

Are down-syndromed people sinful?
If they aren't then Jesus didn't die for them since they get to go to heaven as clean people anyway?

If they are sinful, then how could they accept Jesus?

Even a normal person like me got trouble in believeing in Jesus; let alone a down-syndromed person.
