Why not lie, cheat, and steal your way through life? Why play by the rules at all? There is no barometer, you can do what you want. To believe in Kharma you must believe in something so you aren't an athiest...

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.

O ye who believe! be strict in observing justice and be witnesses for God, even though it be against yourselves or against your parents or kindred. Whether he, against whom witness is borne, be rich or poor, God is more regardful of them both than you are. Therefore follow not your low desires that you may be able to act equitably. And if you hide the truth or evade it, then know that God is Well-Aware of what you do.

Holy Quran

I am a lapsed Catholic in the midst of returning to the Church, and after years of dismissing Catholicism as pure folly, I've come to embrace it, albeit with some reservations (like, I've yet to think over the concept of angels entirely).

Today, it finally hit me for the first time in my life that God is real, and so is Heaven and Hell. I understand, thanks to my chaplain/theology instructor, that it is very real and very serious business and that it will happen and that I cannot escape it. I am now very scared because I know that I am not at all like what God wants me to be, and even if I were to repent all of my sins and become a saint, I still would not be worthy of God. I REALLY want God, but I cannot honestly say that I want Him more than anything else, and I do not have a personal relationship with Him. I am so scared that I will not be able to establish a good relationship with Him and I will go to Hell, and that would obviously be rotten.

What to do? Serious answers only!

How long is a Bible generation, some say 40 years some say 70 years.

Israel was born on May 15,1948 but some believe that the end of the 6 day war started the generation count down. other believe the count down started in 1948 plus 70 years or 2018 less 7 years 2011. If you take 1967 plus 70 years = year 2038 BUT if 1967 plus 40 years, YEAR 2007 ends the generation and the 7 year countdown will start next year?

How long is a generation and did Israel start in 1948 or 1967 , is a generation 40 or 70 years.

Where are the "good" Christians I really would like to met them.
Are they hiding or something?

How do you feel God talks to you - I don't care what you call God. How do you think you get messages from Him in your life? Do you hear his voice, or is it more ...symbolic, I suppose. You see something and you know it is from God? Thoughts, Stories, Opinions.

Do unbelievers ask "why would your loving God send us to hell if we do not believe?" If somebody spit on you, mocked you, laughed at you, denied you, abused your name, or your children, would you reach down and give them a hand? And tell the truth.....Besides if you do not believe, why do you care? Do you really think God who is all loving wants to send you to eternal damnation? He gives a free gift, His Son. Accept Him or deny Him, but if you deny Him why question Him? So attack if you will.

I read Matt.7:6 and read the cross-references. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them under your feet, and turn again and rend you." R-1) Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, CONTRADICTING AND BLASPHEMING. 46) Then Paul and Barnabas...It was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing YE PUT IT FROM YOU, AND JUDGE YOURSELVES UNWORTHY OF EVERLASTING LIFE, lo, we turn to the Gentiles." R-2) Proverbs 9:7,8 "He that reproveth a scorner [One who scorns; a despiser; a contemner; specifically, a scoffer at religion.] getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked {wicked adj 1: morally bad in principle or practice [ant: virtuous]2: having committed unrighteous acts; "a sinful person" [syn: sinful,unholy]4: morally bad or wrong; "evil purposes"; "an evil influence"}

I hate it how some have put Christians all in one catagory. Your no longer a Christian, you are a member of the "religeous right". Well There are things that I agree and disagree with on both sides. I don't think it is right to involve Christianity in politics unless it is in regard of our religeous freedom. If someone doesn't believe in God fine! But the Government should never step in and say I don't have the freedom to worship God. In that case I would vote for the one who is for giving me religeous rights. Whether they are democrat or republican doesn't matter. Alot of Republicans have a corrupt religeous agenda. And some in the far left want to do away with religion entirely. So, I vote for what makes sense. But I don't need to force my views on others. All I ask is that we have the freedom to worship as we please!

Really. It's about time you stop lying to yourselves.

A.) Gay people don't choose to be gay. Even if they did, HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW?

B.) The Earth wasn't created 6000 years ago. There is irrefutable evidence that supports the Earth is BILLIONS of years old.

C.) Jesus didn't levitate up towards space or wherever heaven is supposed to be. That's just nonsense. Wake up already.

D.) No one came back from the dead, especially not Jesus or Lazarus. It's not possibly. Not now, not then, NOT EVER.

E.) Humans cannot have children without a sperm and an egg combining. Mary was not a virgin, unless of course someone jizzed all over her privates or something.

The list goes on. Why do people try and make up weakass explanations for these things?

Christians of not being open-minded? You do realize, of course, that most of us have investigated other options, and have made an informed choice, right?

And, aren't you close-minded as well?

As for posting an anti-christian video, of course we aren't going to look at it. We've made up our minds, and we have that right.

Be blessed all.
