I hear very many Christians call Jesus (pbuh), Lord Jesus Christ, but a verse in the bible says:


"None of those who call me 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of God, but only the one who does the will of my father in heaven"

Matthew 7:21

If you believe this about the Bible do you know of any specific examples or is that what you assume to be true?

There seems to be a lot more of my fellow atheists here than religious folk.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. - Mark 16:17,18.

If yes, can you handle deadly cobras witout getting harmed or drink antifreeze without getting harmed? Can you go to a hospital and put it out of business by healing people?

Footnote: I strongly recommend you do not try these things.

Of course all beliefs welcome to answer, but considering the nature of the question was looking for Christian responses in particular, please.

TY and lots of love all.

Have the hackers taken over this site? I posted a question wanting to know if others had received an offer on their screens for being the winner of a prize that said it was not a joke. I have been ignoring it & wanted to know if anyone else was getting this same message. What's this all about, Alphie?

I know that there are heaven and hell. Purgatory doesn't exist according to the Bible, it was just made up in the Middle Ages as a scam for the Catholic Church to make money. Basically I have to believe in God and Jesus and do what God says to get into heaven. If I live as a "sinner" then Satan gets me and I'm going to hell. First off, if I live a moral and honest life (albeit not believing in God/Bible/Jesus) where am I going? If I am still going to hell, then I don't want to go to heaven if God rejects good people on the basis that they didn't believe his mumbo-jumbo (for which he offers scant proof). So assuming I'm going to hell, will Satan torture me forever? Why? What does he have to gain. Why can't there be a place for everyone else to go who is honest and moral, but doesn't believe in God where we can just chill and not be tortured or have to follow archaic rules?

Why did it take god a half a day to make all the billions of stars, quaasars, black holes, supernovas, moons, planets, asteroid belts. And a full day to make humans?

Any ideas? I think getting the skin just right must be a lot more difficult than it appears.

We have been here lately discussing Christmas and how we feel about it-Loved GW's dissertation-I was just over on the Christmas Y!A section and was so appalled I had to leave. A 14 yo wondering if a $40 gift was enough for her bf. People spending $25-$50 on "gag" gifts for work gift exchanges. And everyone wonders why we "olders" are disenchanted with the holiday.

i have seen a lot of questions about whether it's ok for certain religions to own dogs, or if pets have a soul, rainbow bridge, etc.. i was just wanting to conduct an unbiased, non judgmental poll for all here. i am interested to know if religion has any bearing on the pets we keep or not.

1) what religion are you?

2) what type pets do you have and how many of each?

3) does your religion (or lack thereof) have anything to do with the fact that you do or do not have pets?

as for me:
1) atheist
2) 2 dogs, 2 cats
3) yes, because i believe this is the only life we have and animals deserve a good life too, i adopted pets from the shelter to give them as much happiness as possible before they die. they make my life better too, you can never have too much unconditional love!

This sounds kind of sick, but who knows, do you think it is possible that god is so almighty and then one day he said, ok it's rapture time. Time to pick up the jews? Or even did god think the jews got so unreligious that he sent someone like Hitler to teach them a lesson? Think about it, if god was really almighty, can something happen without meaning? And if so, Hitler might be in heaven, when he did something what is predestined in god's plan! No mainstream answers plz! We want creative thinking.

I know two questions in one day. I'm fascinated with the faith. I think when I do figure out what part of paganism is for me, it will be like a rebirth, I've been waiting for. So needless to say, I've felt better about my life, myself, since reading the texts online. Its almost Christmas, and I want to put on my Christmas list, some of the books that have been recommended to me about learning more about paganism. I just don't think my family will be accepting. Christianity is a great religion, but its not for me. I was very lost in that religion, and didn't know if life was worth living. I found myself in tarot card readings and astrology and such. I also have found myself since I've embraced my mixed heritage, especially the Native American in me. So, I was wondering how do I tell my parents about this? I really want to put the books on my list, so my dad can order them online and get a good deal. I just don't think they will except it. They are convinced its evil. Witches are evil.

Did any of you find that when you left your religion,other people looked down on you? Leaving my religion was a difficult thing to do and it wasn't easy,I suffered a lot, but in the end it was best for me to cut all ties with it(for the sake of my mental health amongst other things).I felt upset at it and disappointed,if anything I was the victim,I realise now that Im not doing ANYTHING WRONG by leaving my religion behind. I've been much happier since. I hate how people assume that you leave so you can drink alcohol,have careless sex,smoke weed,etc- I dont do any of those things. It annoys me that people think because someone isnt religious that they dont have any morals. Very ignorant assumption if you ask me.
