The bible says it will be destroyed in fire, as the first was destroyed with a flood.

How does all this destruction fit in with the love and forgivness that Jesus taught.

Lets take 5 men,all given directions to a specified location.All 5 differ,3 are very good and 2 are horribly bad people.4 arrived at the location and 1 didn't.What did they all have in common? The directions.
I used this illustration to say this.The good among us won't make it to Heaven because their good nor will the bad persons wrong prevent him from entering.You who say i'm a good person, i'm sure you are and we thank you?Have i caused you to think?You who think you're not worthy i say to you that you're worthy?Have i caused you to think?What was it that made all worthy?The directions.No,it was their obedience in following the directions.
This question is for my Christian family.Where is the1 that didn"t come?He was following the directions but he lost his way.Do you think you're more worthy than the others because you believe.We start with what we believe but we're led by what we know.Follow direction all the way to the location.Have i caused you to think?Think about it.

when a guy does that do you lose respect for him or do you just figure its a natural thing.
odd question i know but i am curious. i think i am guilty of it even though i try very hard not to do that. i am a really nice person too and not a pervert so i feel bad that it is probably not going unnoticed.

It would seem that the standard response by many christians regarding the non-existence of god is "Prove it".
And I wondered if they understand the premise of "Burden of Proof"?
Basically,for those who don't,it is up to those making the claim to provide proof or at the very least evidence of their claim not for others to disprove their claim.
Does this clarify things?

I read Phillip Pullmans His Dark Materials trilogy and I'm christian I didn't know when I bought the book that he was atheist. Obviously while reading it I discovered that it was. It didn't change my faith but it did open a lot of 'What if?' questions. It opened me to different veiwpoints.
My question is why do christians hate it so much? I mean all it did was make me think outside the box. To think beyond the information given in any media. Which nowadays seems a little un-christianlike.
It just makes me feel like most christians don't believe in their faith enough to watch a movie or read a book that doesn't have their veiwpoints...so I watched the movie or read the book and now it magically converted me to non-belief!
By the way I was eleven when I read them. Pease don't be harsh I'm only asking a question not bashing my own faith.

We don't have to look too far to find Him.
We don't have to read to whole bible to find him, only two words in the bible will give you a hint of His whereabouts. these two words are all over the bible. The truth is not hidden from us but for us. It's very simple, " God will use the foolish things to confuse the wise"
When we become conscious of His name all our troubles will be over. Amen

He has two cats that he lets roam freely around the neighborhood. Apparently, the two cats like the dirt pathway I have set up around my house and driveway, and the play in it, and use it as their litterbox. I do not want to have to clean up after my neighbor's cats, but I don't want to make him hostile towards me either: neighbors should depend on each other, right (perhaps against burglars)? What should I do? Any biological way: a spray that cats don't like for instance?

Would someone like to email me on salvation. I have put on the mask long enough, and I wish with all my heart to be saved. I keep running from God, ask for forgivness but never stop my sin. I just keep running further and further from God, but I am ready to stop, take off my sandals and run to Christ...

Would someone please help guide me in the right direction, no more show for me.... I am broken and tired of my sin...

Is it considered showing off if you finish a final exam before everyone else, knowing that you did the best you could and checking your answers would be pointless? Should you wait for more people to turn in their papers, or should you just turn it in and get it over with?

I like worms.I'll open a can. If you don't care, why are you so mean and negative? If you have the right not to believe and have judgment not passed on you why don't Christians? Now I'm not talking about all just the negative ones.

"God" seems so...eh. If Giselle was named..."Sally," I think that would be a bit boring. Anyone got a sweet name for God (and don't say Yahweh). Something like "Voltron, Overload of the Universe."
