I have lately...I have NO doubt that there is a God and his son Jesus died for me-no doubt at all! What if die he says, "You were a fake, and I can't let you in.." What if....I'm not doing very well here....my works are not reflective of my faith...I'm having a bad bad day...

If yes, should ordinary believers refrain from answering questions in order to avoid providing erroneous answers?

If no, why would anyone pay a salary to a Theologian when an ordinary believer can answer questions just as well?

why do atheists mock christians so much, and then say its because we "force our religions on you all". i bet you wont be so happy AFTER you die. if they only knew that we are trying to save them.

some people can be so ignorant.

I can understand that men would imagine and even "create" such a being - to kind of fill in the gaps of ignorance and fear, but realistically, no being could every make such a claim because there is the possibility that that being could be wrong.

Perhaps God should say, "I am the All in All - the beginning and the end..."

with the disclaimer: "As far as I know" or "within my observation of the dimensions I am abiding in..."

To say that the human mind is incapable of understanding God's confident reality only begs the question: "Why did God make men so far removed from the reality of God as to make the obviousness of God impossible, in the light of scientific observation?"

It is the supreme irony, if not the supreme joke, is it not?

Nomatter how powerful you think God is, there's always the possibility that there is something MORE powerful, or an alternative. That God would be "uncaused" is an irrational theory that flies in the face of reason.

What if God has a God over Him?

notice what he said about some of them
(Matthew 7:13-14) . . .“Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14 whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

(Matthew 7:21-23) 21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

(Luke 13:23-24) . . . He said to them: 24 “Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell YOU, will seek to get in but will not be able,. . .

so why would he say these things

Here is why ask: My friend Angela, whom is 27 allows her 23 year old boyfriend to spend the night at her house. The two are obviously not married, and I'm sure they are not holding hands in the dark. Angela loves to preach to me on the oustanding beliefs of the LDS church, which I do agree with some of the church's teachings, such as family values, laws of chastity, etc..but I feel Angela and her boyfriend are being complete hypocrites. First off, Angela is not a virgin and her boyfriend is not allowed to enter the temple for quite sometime due to his past transgressions. It ticks me off how the two portray themselves to be this perfect Molly Mormon and Peter Priesthood yet they spend their nights together at her home. I used to be her roommate until I was fed up with her bringing him home everynight. Out of respect, my boyfriend would visit but NEVER did I allow him to spend the night with me. Should I report the two to their bishops? I'm not LDS but I'm sick of their behavior.

Is it true that the "creator" of Kwanzaa was a rapist and a hater of white people? Is it true that it is a made up African holiday to make blacks hate whites or any other race for that matter? In my opinion I would not like my children be exposed to such a bogus holiday.

Since we're not allowed to chat here, is there an R&S - type chatroom that you frequent. I'm looking for more opportunity for open discussion, and the possibility of getting to know someone through actual conversation. Just wondering if any of you all had experience with this, or ideas? Please, no single-religion sites: I want to talk to people of different faiths and belief systems, as I do here.

Does the tip go in the mail box? I live in an apartment, and i don't think he can see inside the mailbox - he just opens the top and throws mail in the slots (hard to explain).
So how do i give the tip to him? And how much ? On which day?
He's delivered a lot of packages up the stairs, and they work hard this time of year, but i never knew you're supposed to tip them until someone told me i was supposed to.

That Jesus was supposed to send to take his place here on earth. It doesn't seam to have ever shown up. Does this prove what utter nonsense the trinity thing is?

The Quran:

[Shakir 5:51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

[Shakir 4:46] Of those who are Jews (there are those who) alter words from their places… Allah has cursed them on account of their unbelief, so they do not believe but a little.

[Shakir 4:160] Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are Jews did we disallow to them the good things which had been made lawful for them and for their hindering many (people) from Allah's way.
