-believe in God & Jesus as the one who died for my sins...
what is a good reason i shouldn't just "cash it in" now !
i have a life insurance policy worth over 1million and Lord knows my Family is under huge financial strain and if my job is to provide for them the Easiest route to their monetary well-being would be a Lump- sum pay-out of claim...that would eliminate 90% of our problems...(well 100% of mine, 90% of theirs)

People come to the conclusion there is a God B/C something had to create existence. There's too much order for there not to be a higher entity. Nothing can simply appear right? With this logic, then what created God?

Deuteronomy 18:18 “I (God) will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee (Moses), and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
Many Christians believe this prophecy foretold by Moses to be in regards to Jesus. Indeed Jesus was foretold in the Old Testament, but as will be clear, THIS PROPHECY DOES NOT FIT HIM, but rather is more deserving of Muhammad, may God praise him.

The verse in discussion is explicit in saying that the prophet will come amongst the Brethren of the Jews. Abraham had two sons: Ishmael and Isaac. The Jews are the descendants of Isaac’s son, Jacob. The Arabs are the children of Ishmael. Thus, the Arabs are the brethren of the Jewish nation.[3] The Bible affirms:
‘And he (Ishmael) shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.’ (Genesis 16:12) ‘And he (Ishmael) died in the presence of all his brethren.’ (Genesis 25:18)The children of Isaac are the brethren of the IIshmaelites.

Ive heard that Buddha walked on the water, healed people and fed many people with only a small amount of food- the same things like Jesus did. Is this true?

do you think you would more than likely have been raised a Muslim. If so, do you believe that you would remain a Muslim for life.

Second part of the question:
Do you think that Muslims are going to hell without accepting Jesus as their savior?

Third part of the question:
Do you believe you are a product of your environment coupled with your genes.

I believe that there is a higher power but religion is just the tool of man to manipulate people to do what they want them to and breed hate and war instead of love. Who else agrees?

paedophile

DENVER, Aug. 29 — Warren Jeffs, the polygamist leader of a Mormon-offshoot sect and a symbol of the government’s hardened line against plural marriage in the West, was arrested late Monday after a routine traffic stop near Las Vegas.
Mr. Jeffs, 50, who is wanted in Utah and Arizona on charges of arranging marriages between underage girls and older men, had with him an assortment of wigs and $50,000 in cash, but no weapons, police officials said. He was traveling with a wife and a brother, both of whom were questioned and released.
The arrest, four months after Mr. Jeffs was put on the F.B.I.’s 10-most-wanted list, brings to a head many of the issues that have been simmering in the deeply isolated polygamist communities of Utah.

how many more?

God got scared when people built the Tower of Babel. God never got scared or angry when people built the space shuttle.

Does that mean that Heaven is no further than approximately 200m high up in the sky??

The church is called the house of God by the Christians. They can not deny that Jesus is the son of God [I hope]. If he entered a place called a house of God and threw out the statues, the symbols, the crosses that are just a picture of a death instrument, etc. Would they call the police and have him arrested, make him pay for the damage, or thank him for correcting the errors he did notice in his Father's house?

Can Christianity be reformed in such a way that it becomes more accepting of other beliefs and practices? I realize that there are liberal Christian churches, but how can Christianity be reformed if the conservative branches keep growing so much more quickly?
