Eph. 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith...not of works. (Rom. 3:20, 28; Gal. 2:16)
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.(Matt. 19:16-21)

The values of a society can be measures by how that same society treats minorities. If the basic premesis of a society is to only follow the will of the majority, then that society is not a very high valued society.

A society is as strong as its weakest link. In this case that would be the smallest minority. A high-valued society would always accept anything other than "the normal standard", embrase and support it full-heartedly.

In the eyes of many a christian society is a high-valued society. When i see how christianity treats different minorities, i highly doubt if a christian society is as high-valued as assumed. We only have to look, as an example, at how the majority of christians treats gays.

Jesus would full-heartedly embrase any minority, probably also offer teachings on how to accept and welcome those minorities.

It's sad, as a non-believer, how many times i have to remind people of Jesus' teachings.

Why has a Christian society drifted so far away from Jesus' teachings?

If you are killed by having an ax to your head, or you die as a baby, or perhaps if your leg gets amputated during your life... is it heaven, and is that how you look?

After a group of people re-translated the bible, they say they now know the "truth". I am not a religious person, nor do I want to be. But, most religions speak of "God's Word". Why then does the bible end? Does he not speak anymore? Should there be more to the story? Shouldn't he be continually encouraging us to live better lives instead of just constantly refering to an old book?

The Bible was written by man - actually many men. Unless God wrote it himself, it is open to interpretation the first time someone else's pen hits the paper.

If God wants you to live a certain way, then I think He should tell you directly so you can write it down word for word. If you are living the true meaning of your religion (and NOBODY does!) then others will see it and will want to have what you have too.

So preach no more! Then others will follow.

So I guess my question now is What Bible do you live by?

(Sorry, no spell check for this section)

In reality, do they go to heaven? If not, then why do we teach our children that they do, such as the disney movie, it's an acceptable movie by parents, and a lot of parents tell them that the dogs go to doggy heaven or heaven when a child asks why the dog died. So why teach our children that they do, just for them to find out that they don't?

I was raised moderately religious (liberal Muslim), and studied religion for years. For me, it wasn't so much an abandonment of Islam, but religion altogether - all as manmade myth, stories, and figments of order.

So for you - was there one thing that made you figure out that organized religion was all a bunch of BS? A rule that made no sense? An event in your life?

I'm curious!

Ezek 37:24(God speaking)
And David my servant(the Christ/Messiah) shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

The contradiction is here:

Rom 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

If someone has an ingrained belief, no amount of preaching and argument can change that without proof such as performing miracles. Preaching might have worked hundreds of years ago because people were just more superstitious back then, but in modern times it gets misinterpreted as arrogance and just turns people off from Christianity. And why doesn't God just help you convert everyone instead of letting you embarass yourselves and your religion?

within the bible and within books exculed from the bible, god is often talking about the gentiles, even during the time in edan, so isnt this proof that there is other gods, other then the gods of the hebrews, since there had to be others to be gentiles.....I dont know if this really is a true or false question, but anyway answer it, and why do you feel this way

Is it true that in order to get a meal from a Church help place you have to attend Church service before you can eat there?

Can people eat without attending the service? or is the service manatory?
