I personally am a believer in Jesus and I believe we all have a soul. Now going from a scientific view, there are many experiments that have been documented that when a person dies the body instantly loses about 3/4 of an ounce. Dehydration, air out of the lungs, losing whats in the bladder and/or bowels have been taken into consideration. We lose about 3/4 of an ounce(21 grams) at the point of death. Now, is it our soul leaving our body? there are several religions that don't believe in Jesus still believe in a soul, Even the reincarnationist have to believe in a soul just to be recycled. The Humanist believe that when we die, we become as God so we must have something after death. I other words no matter what religion, death is only the beginning. What do you think?

I mean really, since I've been dealt a pretty bad hand here on earth, I'm not sure hell is ready for me. I mean, I've adapted to being in pain, suffering internally, and being crippled. What does hell got on me? I'm in constant pain, I take pain killers, no woman will go near me due to my burns, and I'm in a wheelchair. Why does any god deserve my love? How could hell be any worse?

For all of you 'moral' good happy god people, ....survive a fire, lose the ability to walk, and look in the mirror and see you've become a hideous wreck, will you still love god then? will you perhaps shrug off hell as just a continuation of your life here?

I'm not scared of hell, i'm already there, bring it on!

I mean how many of them really have read the Bible or even really know the exact teachings of their religion? since there are so many different types and branches of it, are they sure they're following the right one?

If you read the answers in here from Christians when asked detailed questions, most of the answers are seriously 'winged' from the top of their head...stuff like ...

religious person: "if you believe hard enough and love jesus you can fly"

non-religious person: "Umm..no, I can't fly, it's just not physically possible, people can't jump off buildings and fly with the proper equipment"

religious person "Well, if you don't fly and fall, it is God's will, and you're not pure of heart"

non-religious person: "that was probably the biggest load of crap I've ever read, people can't fly ever, it's suicide"

religious person: "Suicide is bad, if you jump and want to die without Jesus's love you don't go to heaven"

non-religious person: "Are you on medication?

If you are married and your wife dies of natural causes, then you get re-married and your next wife dies of natural causes, will they both appear with you in heaven?

Wouldn't they get mad about having to share you? Can you get angry in heaven?

i take strong exception to the Christian dogma that "Jesus is the only begotten son, begotten not made". this is what the Christian is made to repeat from childhood in his catechism. I have asked learned - Christians, again and again as to what they are really trying to emphasize, when they say "begotten not made".

they know that according to their own God-given (?!) records, god has sons by the tons:


"....Adam, which was the son of god." Luke 3:38

"that the sons of god saw the daughters of men that they were fair...


"and when the sons of god came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them...." genesis 6:2&4

"...Israel is my son, even my firstborn:" exodus 4:22

"...for I (god) and a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn." Jeremiah 31:9

"...the lord hath said unto me, (David) thou art my son: this day have i begotten thee." psalms 2:7

"for as many as are led by the spirit of god, they are the sons of god." romans 8:1

I'm a Christian and I get absolutely angered at the self-righteousness that I see constantly online. It's one thing to know your right and live a life of faith...it's an entirely different thing to walk around with this "holier than thou" attitude and call yourself a Christian. I am of the opinion that those people are not "christian" but rather "religious." A person who is "Christian" is then "Christ-like." Christ was not pompous. He looked at the adulterous woman with love and compassion and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Neither do I condemn you." If Christ, Himself, isn't condemning and we're supposed to live like Him...you get the drift. Now that I've preached - My Question: Am I the only one who is deciphering and clearly drawing a line between being "relgious" and "Christian?" Are others seeing this for what it is, though I'm sure it's been around forever? Let me know your thoughts.

I am Wiccan and I need to gently tell an older woman who is dating my Grandpa that I dont believe in God and I dont want to go to church. I would appreciate it if only respectful, knowledgeable people answer this question. I am tired of being harrassed about my religion by ignorant people. Thank you!

It comes from an ancestor of mine who was a Templar Knight stationed in Jerusalem during the Crusade. It even has Jesus' signature chiseled by his own hands in Aramaic on the bottom. It must be worth something. It is the best proof of Jesus that I've ever seen.

Options:
(1) Categorize sins. You won't send people to 25 years in prison
both for petty theft and 1st degree murder if you are a sane judge.
Forgive minor sins.
(2)Send people to hell for their finite but major sins for a finite time.
(3)Become insane and send an innocent person to be brutally
murdered to pay for your sins provided that you accept that fact.

I have no hesitation in acknowledging that in the Bible, there are three different
kinds of witnessing recognizable without any need of specialized training. These are:
1. You will be able to recognize in the Bible what may be described as "The Word of God."
2. You will also be able to discern what can be described as the "Words of a Prophet of God."
3. And you will most readily observe that the bulk of the Bible is the records of eye witnessess or
ear witnesses, or people writing from hearsay. As such they are the "Words of a Historian"
You do not have to hunt for examples of these different types of evidences in the Bible. The
following quotations will make the position crystal clear:
The FIRST Type:
(a) I will raise them up a prophet . . . and I will put my words in ... and he shall speak unto them
all that I shall command him." (Deuteronomy 18:18)
(b) I even, I am the Lord, and beside me there is no saviour." (Isaiah 43:11)
(c) "Look unto me, and be ye saved, ..

Marriage has been whittled down to nothing but a piece of paper in todays societies. It deals with property and nothing more.

Can we fix this? Or is it too late? Was marriage ever about love?
