The Bible condemns non believers of their faith in the worst terms (Psalms 14:1,John 3:16,John 3:18,John 3:36, Mark 6:15,Mark 16:16,Revelation Ch. 21:8) thereby setting billions of people as marked and condemned, besides being totally un objective, is it fair? is any justice, divine or human served?

Does God know all the choices I am going to make? If He does then did He pre-plan my life? If so do I have a choice in what I do?

"The Christianity which the nations claim to follow is the religion of Paul, who is admittedly the chief and almost the only theologian that the Church recognizes. Because of his betrayal of the Master's teachings, the vision of true Christianity has been so dimmed that men have been able to defend war and a host of other evils, such as flesh eating and slavery, on the authority of the Bible." (Christ or Paul? Rev. V.A. Holmes-Gore)

“We have already noted that every teaching of Jesus was already in the literature of the day….. Paul, the founder of Christianity, the writer of half the NT, almost never quotes Jesus in his letters and writings." (Professor Smith in his “The World Religions”, p 330)

"There is not one word of Pauline Christianity in the characteristic utterances of Jesus.... There has really never been a more monstrous imposition perpetrated than the imposition of Paul's soul upon the soul of Jesus.... It is now easy to understand how the Christianity of Jesus... was suppressed by the police and the Church, while Paulinism overran the whole western civilized world, which was at that time the Roman Empire, and was adopted by it as its official faith. (Androcles and the Lion, George Bernard Shaw)

without your express approval even though the Hospital may know your of a certain Faith. I for one think this is really dirty pool because there have been so many people saved at the last minute through the valiant efforts of many Priests and Ministers who will baptise whenever there is any doubt and these people have been saved but, now, look out!

Sponsor a child in a foreign country?
Volunteer somewhere?
Personally provide some kind of service to the underpriviledged, homeless, or people in a bad circumstance, such as victims of disaster?
Is there something you do to help that I haven't listed here? If so, what?

This is a sincere question. I really want to know. Please, be truthful.

Don't say because a book says so. That's pathetic.

Don't say because god talks to you because he doesn't.

Don't say because your parents did. That's stupid.

Don't say because everyone else does it. That's pitiful.

Tell me why do YOU believe in god?

other individuals. I understand the early church followed this practice of having communion in the homes possibly daily. Know of any churches or fellowships that have this practice or similar? I can see in a case of an isolated member or illness, but just curious how familiar other Christians might be with these evangelists and this teaching.

If so who was the author and publisher? Most great leaders of our time have had the skill of using nature to explain their thoughts and communicate things to us.

I have been reflecting....I was not born into adverse places and times. I was not born in Dafur or Palestine, nor was I a Native American in the time of the colonization, or an African-America in Early America. And I began to wonder, Why did God chose me (You) to not be born in those problematic situations? Why is my life so easy and happy compared to others? No one chooses what nation, time, or situation he or she is born into.

Then I realized, in my aching heart, that as an able person it is incumbent on me to speak out for the oppress and give charity.
I can't afford to be lazy or not care, God just blessed me with peace and I have to be appreciative and thankful. I have to return the favor by speaking out and helping those who were not blessed with what I have. I have come to believe through my sadness that it is a responsibility for the able to help the oppressed. People are going through hell as we speak.

Is there anyone out there who has been reflecting about this?

you could find a person who was a totally "blank slate." He/she has never had any exposure to religion of any type. What do you think their response would be if they were presented both Christian and Muslim beliefs? Understand...this is not about what YOU would do. It's about the hypothetical "blank slate".

Image of Edessa
King Abgarus of Edessa wrote to Jesus, asking him to come cure him of an illness. It was first recorded in the early 4th century by Eusebius of Caesarea (E.H. 1.13.5 and .22), who said that he had transcribed and translated the actual letter in the Syriac chancery documents of the king of Edessa. Instead, the apostle Thaddaeus is said to have come to Edessa, bearing a cloth featuring Jesus' facial features, by the virtues of which the king was miraculously healed.


The Sudarium of Oviedo
Archbishop Pelayo Meléndez, "the chronicler", came up with "relics from the Holy City of Jerusalem", including a blood stained rag said to be the face cloth of one dead Jesus referred to in John 20.7


Veil of Veronica
The faithful believe that Veronica from Jerusalem encountered Jesus along the Via Dolorosa on the way to Calvary. When she paused to wipe the sweat off his face with her veil, his image was imprinted on the cloth.

I'm saying I know they say he is your lord and savior but that's not saying he's god almighty creator of all that exist. from the gospels I've read Jesus himself says that God is greater than he is (example) John 5:30 and why did he say what he said in Mathew27:46 explain this to me.
