The more you try to figure it out the more confusing it becomes....In conclusion stop trying to because most likely you never will..so...live this live to the fullest and dont worship "evil" ness, it is believing that "good" will always triumph, if we did not believe in what is not right in front of us, then, this life would be boring......thats it.

One answer to my "would you still have a soul" section:

"Yes, that wouldn't effect your soul...your soul is inside you in a spiritual sense. It's part of your brain."

In that case, how much of the brain does a person need to have to keep their soul?

Do you believe a person could sell their soul to the devil? And if so... How do you think that person would go about getting it back.

It's true!

Jesus escaped the clutches of the Romans and fled to Japan where he lived a life in exile in this northern mountain village. There he married a woman called Miyuko, and they became parents of three daughters. Jesus died at the age of 106.

Two wooden crosses outside the village mark the graves of Jesus and his brother, Isukuri, and there is even a museum that remembers Jesus as a garlic farmer known to the Japanese as Daitenku Taro Jurai.

Isukuri, the people say, was crucified in Jerusalem instead of Jesus. When Jesus came to Shingo he brought with him the severed ear of his brother. Apparently it is only the ear that lies buried in that ancient tomb beside Jesus.

In the museum is a scroll, said to be a copy of an original document that was the last will and testament of Jesus. The original document, first discovered in the hands of a priest in 1935, was reportedly destroyed during the war. But a copy exists and is contained in a glass case.

Did u know?

I come for practice for the real world, myself.

Sometimes I like to ask things to see what people will say and how most will approach things. I think it makes me better at debating in real life.

Honestly, does true love wait. What does God say about waiting... What do you think about it...(this question is aimed at CHRISTIANS ONLY) Me personally, I don't believe in marriage at all. I don't believe in being in love either, but I am open to debate both points. What say you my friends... Is love even real anymore? And if it is, is it worth waiting for?

God bless, and Merry Christmas

Please answer "yes" or "no" to the following.

1) If my legs get cut off do I still have a soul?

2) If my arms are cut off, do I still have a soul?

3) If my hips are removed, do I still have a soul?

4) If (hypothetically speaking), science is able to remove my torso, my heart, my lungs, and replace it with cybernetic parts, do I still have a soul?

5) If (hypothetically speaking), science is able to take my brain, and put it into a cybernetic organism, would I still have a soul?

6) If (hypothetically speaking), science is able to make an exact cybernetic copy of my brain, and is able to transfer my thoughts, experiences, the whole shabang, into the cybernetic brain, would I still have a soul?

Thank-you.

Do you believe in free will or destiny? Is life just the consquences and reaction of the decisions and actions we make in life or is it all predestined for us? I find destiny to be hard to believe. I don't believe that someone's destiny can be to live in poverty and then starve to death or to be raped, tortured and murdered. I want to believe in God and an afterlife, but with all the evil in the world, I don't know. Is God not able to intervene in our lives? Do we make our own choices and decisions and whatever happens to us is just the consequence? What about people who have terminal illnesses and get cured miraculously. or other people who survive near death? How come some people have wonderful lives, never knowing of misery or sorror, and others lives are the complete opposite? I may sound stupid, but I would like to know what other people think or believe.

I tried telling my mom that three of them of been talking to me, following me, inside my dreams, etc.

I showed her the pictures I drew of the girl Hina. Then I showed her the things I wrote down that Lucifer told me. She doesn't believe me though.

I told my friends, only 2 of them believe me. Ones like "don't listen to them, think about jesus when they talk to you". The other one has another best friend where the same thing happened and he went to the crazy hospital for a month.

I dunno what to do.

Protestant,Catholic or any one of the others?
Each has it's own interpretation of the bible.Each thinks it is the correct interpretation.
Why are so you surprised that so many people do not believe in your god when you cannot even decide among yourselves what is correct?

this revolutionary discovery of mine is fool proof!! my theory blends both the evolutionary and divine creation theories. ok, so god is an ape and he creates us in his image (an ape). from there, we have evolved from this original ape into humans. find a flaw...i dare you.

Can someone help explain why Catholics confess to priests, rather than, confess to God privately? I know it is a sacrement, however, I'm looking for a better answer.

I've seen a lot of ignorant people here, and a few people say just this, it is scary sometimes. Christmas actually developed as a pagan holiday and was banned by the protestant church until the 18th century, when it was brought back as Christmas.

There is actually quite astounding evidence that Jesus was not born in winter. As the scriptures said that the farmers went in their feilds upon the news. Well if you believe Jesus was born in December you should research the Palestinian winters.

In all truth, Jesus probably hates you all for celebrating the holiday.

'Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong­doers) there are no helpers.' (Qur'an 5:72)

'Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.' (Qur'an 5:73)

Please comment on the significance of the fact that within 325 years of dieing on the cross, Jesus' gospel message became the defining religion of the mighty Roman Empire that had spent so much time trying to crush it and shortly after destroyed the many polytheistic practices of the known civilized world at that time and continues to impact our world today.

Basically, Jesus defeats polytheism. This is not a religious question. It is a historical fact. If not what other factor contributed to the many gods of the Greeks, Romans, Eqyptians, Babylonians, Persians, Norse Germanic Tribes and many others becoming Myth?

How do some know that the bible was really the word of god? I mean, since the bible was written by men who claim to have written the teachings instructed by god, how do we know these people are not lying or not fooling themselves? How can we be sure they were just not getting dilusional? The bible instructed to kill anyone who worked on the sabbath, to kill homos, to kill rebellious childreen. Does that sound like an all loving god? How do we know the bible really came from god and not from the minds of people.
I don't mean to offend christians, i'm just wondering. If you find this offensive, please do not take it personally.
