if god is not real it doesnt matter because there is no heaven or hell. but if he is real, why is so important to believe in him? isnt it more important to do good things. most atheists are good people and if we are wrong and god is real and we go to hell just for not believing then god would be really conceited or something. honestly if someone works for a good cause there entire life can they go to hell just for not beleivng?

Does God (or God thru Jesus) ever actually say to respect others religions? (if so could you please give me chapter + verse). I know it says to respect others but Jesus fought for our faith so shouldnt we? (by fight i dont mean physical harm) I know God will help those to him when they need it and are just stumbling but do you think we as christians are allowed to help that along? after all were supposed to love our brother and since were all gods children (no matter how far some have strayed) then were all brothers (and sisters:) so if we love our brother wouldnt we want him to turn to christ everlasting even if this means troding on the respect of his beliefs a little? (ie bringing prayer back to schools, Banning gay marriage, Raising our voices in politics more, etc) im not talking about overthrowing freewill here just using OUR freewill to make our voices heard louder then theirs and hopefully with gentle persuasion have them find Christ for themselves.

The Bible says for us to be righteous in all that we do. But there is a verse that says no one is righteous. Are we to be righteous or is that just impossible?

Dont they know that God doesnt care if they show their face or whatever. He just cares that you know that Jesus died on the cross for the forgivness of our sins and he was risen and , ect. Or is it more of a culture thing for them, because I have seen them at Six flags wearing those things covering their whole body and they looked really hot. I dont see the men having to wear anything or cover themselves.

If a homosexual takes this title, does this make him/her an example of a oxymoron moron or a true example of God's inifinite forgiviness?

Hello all! The man that I'm promised to, and who I will be getting engaged to in the next few years mentioned to me something he'd heard of from one of his friends. He is a Catholic, and I of course, am Pagan. What he mentioned is that we'd get a Priest from his faith, and a high priest or priestess or both, from mine, and have them perform the ceremony together. I was wondering if any of y'all had heard of this? Also, because of the way that I practice, and how eclectic I am, there are very few covens to encompass my beliefs, so, I have always been a solitary witch. I wouldn't even know where to start to find a high priest or priestess. Please help me if you can! P.S. We are having an outdoor wedding.

Matt. 24:24: “False Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs [“miracles,” TEV] and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.”
Matt. 7:15-23: “Be on the watch for the false prophets . . . 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 [“miracles,” JB, NE, TEV] in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.”
These things:Tongues Prophecy and healings are to be,
as 1Cor.13:8-10 says: 8. But whether there are [gifts of] prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; 10 but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with.

Basically in a nutshell... is the belief that Christ has already come a second time. All the websites I have found are very complex, and all I have managed to discover, is that the Bible does say that not a generation would pass before the second coming, and not all of the apostles would die before the second coming. Are there any more things like this?

Anyways, the predorist (from what I have found) thinks Christ came again once. To destroy Jerusalem.

But THE coming has yet to happen.

What are the views supporting this theory, and have I missed any points on this?

I have asked everyone from my youth pastor, to my friends to explain this verse and no one gets it. I was wondering if anyone on here can explain it. Thanks

Proverbs 27:6
Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

I get the first part, but the second part is a mystery.

Romans 11: 26 - 27 -
The nation of Israel clearly rejected Jesus as their Messiah ( Rom 9-10, John 1: 10-11 )
And the Bible says that the promises of Abraham go to his spiritual seed, not his descendants according to the flesh ( Rom 4: Gal:3 ).
Why then does Romans 11 speak of the future for the nation of Israel?

I know of Islam and Mormonism. Any others?

Please don't bother listing Christianity, because it was preditcted by the prophets long before Jesus Christ was born.

...do you have any religious friends that despite your telling them directly, or in some form, that you are an atheist (or other) they always seem to forget? And like me how likely are you to not even say anything if something negative is said of non believers?

Generally it may not matter much, except when the subject is religion or they happen to mention the "atheist" term negatively, forgetting that you are one. Friends of mine just don't ever seem to remember, I think most people just assume we all believe what they believe. I think "atheists" are these imaginary "other" people to them that they don't even associate any kind of real person with.

The community of Israel was commanded to not oppress aliens:
Exodus 23:9 "Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt."

"Sh'mo" is what I hear people saying during the conservative movement's daily service, though I'm sure it's said in other movements. It seems to be used like someone might use to affirm something, but I'm just not sure, and I can't find it written out in the siddur.

"B'rikh hu" is how the other words are written in my siddur.

i told this great guy i was dating we werent boyfreind/GF, that i care for him way more than he cares for me and i wanted more out of our relationship than he's willing to give. I wanted him to support me spiritually and he doesnt see things the same as me. i lost my job a few months ago, and am having a really difficult time finding a new one. Which is forcing me to leave my apartment i've lived in for two years to go share a place with someone. On top of that the women who is my second mother, is saying and doing things completely out of charecter for a women of God. Are any of you facing the most difficult trials of your christian lives. I've been crying most of the day.
