Religion & Spirituality - 19 August 2006

An atheist asked me, " if there is a God... then youre saying that all those people that never heard the message of Jesus are in hell now because millions have never even heard of Jesus ". Namely, where did all the jews in the holocast go ? What about the millions around the world that never heard and died ? ". Thats easy. The scriptures say that Jesus intercepts their spirits...and in visions and dreams lets them hear the gospel and make up their minds to accept Him. He also takes some " to the 3rd Heaven " , a place where the spirits of some go in order to " hear words " of Jesus and His Cross...as St. paul did.. Jesus said of some pple..that even though they were dead, they were still in their bodies and " their life " was still in them.".. he then visits them in visions and dreams. Do you think He wouldnt do this ? If you do... that makes Him sadistic, monstrous and uncaring which he isnt..He isnt going to allow anyone to miss Heaven unless they simply want to. see Acts 2..

Where'd she grow up and what was it like and what kind of student was she? Were the boys afraid to ask her out?

How did she hook up with Joseph, and what did she see in him. Was she already "with child" and did Joseph take pity on her?

Did he know she would be the Mother of Christ, and what was in it from him? Today his name is on everything from cathedrals to basketball teams, if that tells us anything.

Jesus said that it's better to avoid sex. He did. If we love him we should try to follow him. But--weak Christians can marry--because it is better
to burn in hell of passion to marry. But won't you suffer for Christ's sake and resist these evil temptation. Please, if you are single and celibate--avoid masturbation. Repression is sometimes like prayer.
It's self-suffering for the sake of your love for Christ Jesus. He died for you in Cross. You should repay him back.Even if guys are apparently "just using it as a form to release stress". I'm sorry, but God has provided many other ways to relieve stress other then pleasuring yourself sexually. And that's the thing, if you are touching your genitals, you are doing something sexual! And God has made it clear, that REAL purity is not just keeping from sex before marriage, but it is keeping away from anything that is sexually gratifying. The ONLY sexual activity that is alright in God's eyes is for a couple only in marriage. The truth about it is that we dont have the RIGHT to think about sex/watch shows of people having sex/listen to people talking about sex, anything that has to do with sex!!! We dont have that right because we are not married! The only kind of sex that is okay in God's eyes is sex in the marriage bed.

How can you trace your mother's matrilineal name all the way back to one of the 12 tribes of Israel if the temple and its genealogical records were destroyed when Rome sacked Jerusalem in 70 A.D.? Serious answers only for a curious Christian?

when the crowd ask peter what they should do ,peters reply was for them to repent and be baptized.Acts 2:37-38 ,when the eunuch ask phillip what kept him from being baptized phillips reply was "if thou believest with all thine heart,thou mayest Acts 8:35-39,when Jesus gave His commission to the aposales "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;but he that believeth not shall be damed." Mark 16:16.so how is it people baptize babies? A BABY CANNOT REPENT . A BABY CANNOT BELIEVE WITH ALL ITS HEART. religous people should start reading the Bible .the catholic church put thousands of people to death for not excepting there infant baptizim and being rebaptized after repenting and excepting Jesus with all there heart, I call it being born again . John 3:3

I have a question for my christian friends. Mahatma Gandhi did not accept Jesus into his heart as his savior. Does this mean that he has gone to hell, despite all of the good did?

Also, following that same line of logic, has Adolph Hitler gone to heaven? He was not an "ideal" christian, of course, but did accpet Jesus into his heart as his savior.

I have read statement like that in my Catholic Bible Study.

I am trying to understand this. What about non-Catholics, Jews and Muslems? They will not go to Heaven?

In John 6:51 "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."

The other quote, I don't remember where, Jesus said: "The only way to my Father is Through Me."

Can anyone explain all this? What are the Catholic Church's teachings on these quotes and what do other Christian religions teach on the same quotes?

Fellow Christians. If you have accepted our Lord Christ,
repay him back for what he did for you. He died in Cross for you being tormented and tortured and humiliated.
Repay him back my brothers. It's better to avoid sex completely. You will burn but you will burn for Jesus Christ--you will burn to pure gold. Repression of sex is like prayer and sacrifice to our Lord. Avoid temptation--not even look at or talk with women, if you are unmarried.Do you know it was for the woman that Adam was misguided and disobeyed Jesus to eat the fruit
and bring sin amonst us. Do you know that it was the woman who was actually the first one to commit the sin of disobeying Lord Jesus? Do you know how the name woman came? It was formed from two parts--WOE+MAN.
Lord thus cursed most of the women because they rebelled against the Lord. That's another reason that God incarnated as a man and not a woman.Most women today are transvestites and abominations. God cursed Eve that she will be like a servant to Adam but again you will see--most women don't recognize the Lord's command and again they are rebellious.
If u have sex before marriage then in Gods eyes u are married to that person if a man rapes a woman in Gods eyes they are married.
So, it's better not to even marry.

Why couldn't the world and universe always have been, is and always will be, neither created nor can be destroyed. It's all a matter of mental conditioning since young; like the existence of satan, god and what have you.

I live in a very small town and the new church is a Methodist. It is very different from how I was raised and It probably will not be my home church. While I am going there, I dont know how much the going rate is for the offering plate. I also noticed everyone else puts a check in, so I stand out like a sore thumb because I usually put green backs in the plate. How much should I put in the plate, or should I write a check like everyone else seems to be doing?

For without God there is no heaven, there is no hell. Without God, there is no such thing as goodness.
