I'm posting this not to raise people's blood about the issue, but to point out a flaw. Belief is not a person's choice. People say that belief has to come from the heart. They also say that there are a lot of people that aren't true believers in this world. That these people go through the motions of being a Christian, but don't fully believe it in their hearts.

Now don't take this personally, but lets compare belief to Santa Clause. We've all grown out of believing that he exists (most of us), but imagine after all that you've learned, what it would take to believe he existed. I say that it is (near) impossible for a person to believe that Santa roams the earth giving presents.

So I say this to Christians to help them understand an Atheistic perspective. Can you force yourself to believe in Santa? With what you know now, is there any way that you could convince yourself he exists? That is the dilemna of an Atheist. We just can't make ourselves believe. Belief is not a choice.

(THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE)
Christian text teach the only way to Heaven is thru trust in God and believing the sacriface of Christ....Hitler was a Christian and responsible MANY MANY DEATHS. Truly a Tyrant of All Tyrants.

I live a life of some sin...getting drunk and premarital sex, you know. But all around Im a good person, Kind and generous, even the occasional Philanthropist. But i never come to Christ, though worship the word of God... I never make that commitment!!! When i die, that mean i will suffer the same fate as a man like that...I never touched a hair on anyone, But i born with like of a Manman, I recieve the same Punishment...Where's the mercy in that??

Please all of you, do not point fingers at non- believers, we are called to testify not to be judges or jury. Pull out your Bibles and get facts. Don't stoop to their level, remember the Devil comes in all disguises. What a great way to brush up on your evangelism/testimony

Strange but serious Q.
Story I heard and wondering about how true it could be.

An archangel is born on earth. He is tortured, abused, humiliated and almost killed. He himself does not know that he is an angel. People try to trick and con him - he does not know who to trust. He goes into deep trances where he can see visions of light and the past and the future and other angels. But when he reverts back out of the trance, he is clueless - and just a simple person. The devil tries to corrupt his mind and thoughts and actions over time. The angel is sent to love and bring back the devil - not kill him. The devil fights with him in his mind, rather than physically. The angel's love is not able to conquer the devils hatred. He does not have the strength left in him, and the other angels pull him out of the situation. The angel does not turn evil but just lives as an ordinary person after this.

Such a story possible? Before the final conflict?
What would happen next? Is he fallen angel?

can someone tell me where in the bible it say do not baptise infants. i have ready many passages that have siad they baptised house holds, it does not say only after an age. the relationship between baptisem circumcision is like this. If a man wanted to be come a jew, he had to believe in the od of israel and be circumcised, if one wants to become christian believe in good and jesus and be baptized. in the old testament , those born into jewish households could be circumcised in anticipation of the jewish faith they would be raised in and If children in believing homes are being caught to pray to God as
?Father? and to trust in the love of Jesus, who is present with them, then they are in fact being treated as believers from the start, and should then be baptised from the start. To treat them in other respects as believers (even in a tentative way) and yet not to baptise them is to fly in the face of the New Testament use of baptism. i am a catholic i read the bible everyday

especially for the "right" reasons?

Or are you going out of obligation or some sense it's the "right" thing to do?

Be honest!

What I mean is what if their soul has gone to another person, or in another place in time, like in Heaven. If suddenly they are reanimated back into life, what happens to their soul. Will it come back into their body or will they be empty, with no soul. What if their soul has been reincarnated, what happens to that person it was reincarnated back into. WIl they die or will they be soulless. Please answer me. I have been pondering it for a while.

I'm serious about learning about Scientology. I have no interest in joining, but I have heard many conflicting views on the subject, and I am curious to know if it is considered a "real" religion or just a weird cult. I read a bit about the Xenu story online, but is that a real explanation, or just a sci-fi story?

There is alot of controversy bout the sabbath. Do you think it's important to set aside a day for the Lord or do you think He is strict about which exact day you do it on?
