2 Corinthians 13:5

"Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?"

Have you taken the 'test'? Do you know if you truly have faith? The Bible teaches us that the heart is deceitful, so you can't trust your heart and say "I know I'm going to heaven because I believe with all my heart that Jesus died for my sins and God raised him from the dead". That's why it's so crucial to take 'the test'. Judgment day isn't exactly the best time to figure out whether or not you truly have faith.

I found this extremely helpful: http://needanewstart.com/Really_Christian.html

Nobody who hasn't already taken 'the test' is "too good" to take it. How do you know that you believe?

Did you know that Jesus spoke more about hell than heaven?
Isn't heaven a wonderful, peaceful place?
However, the Lord spoke about hell more than heaven because He is concerned about those who have not yet repented. He does not want anyone to go to hell but God's love DOES NOT mean that He will not chastise.

The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is the only parable in the four gospels where Jesus actually used names. Ever wonder why? I think this story was MORE THAN a parable.
In this parable we learn that there is a BIG GAP between hell and heaven so that those in heaven cannot cross over to the hell side and vice-versa. I do NOT need a building to fall on me. The Bible talks about torture, eternal torture for those who die in their sins (unrepented). Jesus spoke more about hell than heaven to WARN us that eternal life with or without God is REAL. So, why not choose to be on God's side?

What are your thoughts?

Why did Jesus talk about hell more than heaven?

im doing a mythology project and i have to make up a myth and characters and everything. and so far i have Zinnakahn, the goddess of anger and conflict. but what i need help is what could this "goddess" use to start conflict and anger. For example, cupid stood for love and what he did to make people fall in love he would shoot a bow and arrow at them.

Eph. 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. "

Do you know if the largest number of Jews out of Israel is happily living in Iran, one of the so-called "Axis of Evil".

Check out this happy co-existence.

It can't be that they are dazzled by the magic of it, because every religion claims to have their own magic of some sort. (Prayer, healing, personal revelation, etc.)

I would like to do something on Christmas or Eve instead of open presents and stuff my face. I would like to do something for the less fortunate. Your ideas are greatly appreciated.

I've noticed that the strongest, most uncompromising opponents of anything tend to be those who used to be [whatever] and are no longer. C.L. Richardson, for instance, appears to be advertising himself as an ex-atheist now. What is it about people that makes someone so adamantly opposed to something they used to accept? It's a puzzlement to me.

Suppose you found a watch in the forest. You would examine the watch and all of its complexity. Based on the complexity of the watch and how well all of its parts work together in harmony you would conclude that the watch has a designer. And that designer was probably a person.

Now suppose you found a car. You could examine the complexity of the car and conclude that the car was also designer by a person.

If you saw an airplane, you would know that the airplane is complex, so it too must have been designed by a person.

Therefore, all complex things that we've examined have been designed by people. So it is reasonable to conclude that complex things are designed by people. God is very very complex. Even more complex than an airplane. So I guess that means God was designed by people.

So what would you think if you found a watch in the forest? Does it prove that God was designed by people?
