when jesus was alive and killed .... and all the stuff on religion was going on in israel or where jesus lived.... what was going on, on the othe side of the world....... what did those people belive in if they had no idea who jesus was........ i think religion has many loops and holes... and where man and women alive when dinosaurs lived and when caveman lived ..... have you ever prayed to god for someone thats dying, for them not to die. and after the person didn't die you felt like god answer your prayer?? .. ok now have you ever prayed to god for someone thats dying, for them not to die, and that person die after you asked god to save them what did you feel??? after the person die did you tell yourself that god had to take them to heaven because it was that persons time to go because god wanted it like that...... then why pray ... i say that because if god has your number already set.... why pray.. shouldnt you just wait to see if god wants to take them or not?

Let's say John Q. is an unbeliever.. He lives his life pretty much any way he pleases. His (uncle, who is a born-again believer) confronts him with the fact that if he doesn't repent, he\ll burn forever. He is terrified about the thought of spending an eternity in hell, but nonetheless, tells his uncle off and hangs up the phone.
Later that week, he is sitting in his room thinking about what his uncle said. He is more scared then ever! He asks God to forgive him for what he has done, and invites Christ into his life. But for some reason, he gradually finds himself backsliding. Then he repents. Months later, he is not only backsliding, but rebelling against God. He stops reading his bible and praying, but still attends church occasionally because of guilt.. His heart is hardened, but he still feels a slight bit remorse. He keeps on repenting, but never fully commits himself. Eventually he starts to wonder to himself:"Is there a point of no return"? Is there?

John 3 which tells of Jesus unconditional love -John 3 vs 16 also tells "Except you repent, and you be born again, ye can not see the kingdom of heaven."

I as a Jew did what the Messiah said to do-proof he is the messiah ive given over and over and no one yet can refute it-and that he is the Son of God as he stated too-and died for our sins and rose again-regardless of what moohamad says with his 9 year old wife-despicable.

Jesus stated -Revelation 1vs1 and 3 vs 19&20 "I love you, and i stand at your heart door and knock, if you let me in to deliver you from sins, i will come in and become your friend."

so i prayed- "Jesus im sorry for my sins, forgive me and help me, be my savior and friend, amen."

AND A NEW LIFE BEGAN

SEE ISAIAH 9 VS 6 PREDICTED 700 BCE- Unto us a child is born, unto us a SON is given, and he will be the prince of peace SHALOM/SALAM, the almighty God, and the wonderful counselor."

time to be real -believe Jesus and be born again -or be damn!

okay, I am not entirely sure how to phrase this, but I will try. Did God just stop inspiring people to write about Christianity and godly things by the time the council decided what went in and what stayed out? If not, then how come we don't try to add some more writings that could be considered inspired? That sounds kind of dumb, but the original council had criteria which a piece of writing must meet in order to make it into the canon. So why not use some of the same criteria for some more modern writings that might be more applicable to modern times? I hope that makes sense.

There are hundreds of religions and they all believe that their's is the only way to get to heaven...What if some tiny little indian tribe out in the middle of bfe that prays to their rice cakes is the only one that has it right? Guess that would put all of the rest of us into a great big pile of screw-you huh?

alright this is odd.. as i do not want to appear rascist.. :)
but i am a native american.. and do not believe in the catholic church.. or the christian faith.. i'm more of a spiritual person..

um. i'm always surpirsed when i see people of colour..(that aren't white) all gong ho about catholicness/christinanity.. because that wasn't what their original culture believes in..i'm not sure what it was but when i think of catholicness and christanity i think of it as more as a white religon.. and they've forced people of colour to believe in what they believe

ie. when they brought slaves over from africa i'm pretty sure they weren't catholic orginally :)
and native americans didn't have catholic churches over here before the white folk came :)

so why do so many people belive in it.. when then ancestors were forced too.. ?

" Why do you bring in an outer doer? The world recreates itself out of itself. It is an endless process, the transitory begetting the transitory. It is your ego that makes you think that there must be a doer. You create a God to your own Image, however dismal the image. Through the film of your mind you project a world and also a God to give it cause and purpose. It is all imagination -- step out of it. "

I still don't like the fact that she's there but I wan't to be there with him and I like the church. I really hadn't said anything much to him about it b/c it will prpbably start a argument, what should I do or how should it be handled.

I mean, you're supposed to have blind faith, right? But are you just going to believe the first guy that comes along and says he's the son of God? No, you're going to need convincing. But in asking for proof, aren't you doing what the devil did when Jesus was wandering about the desert? What will it take to convince you?

My grandma is in her early 80's and was in great condition. Very aware and could get around on her own just fine. Then out of no where she fell deathly ill. Her kidneys failed and now her liver is failing. I would just like people to pray for her if you would. Thank you

As Muslims are demanding? Is it unreasonable for Christians to expect apologies from Muslim clerics for the murder of the nun in Somalia and the fire bombing of Christian churches in Palestinian areas?

Is GOD the same GOD that is mentioned in both Christian and Islamic texts? If so, why are there so much fighting, arguing, about who GOD is. Why can't we believe that GOD is GOD no matter who leads you to HIM. I wish that there were no religion except THE RELIGION OF GOD!!!!!!
