Why would God send people to hell if Jesus died for all of our sins. When he said "forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do" he didn't say only a few men, I'm pretty sure he meant all. What are your thoughts on this?

The majority of people on this planet choose not to be Christian and have no interest in Jesus Christ. A new second child would deffinitely have a greater impact than the first.

I try to tell other people about what I believe occasionally and sometimes they get offended. Why? If I really believe that those who don't believe Jesus died for their sins go to Hell, shouldn't it be considered as an attempt to save them. Shouldn't it be condsidered an act of love? If someone says they dissagree, I leave it at that and tell them if they have any questions to ask. Why get offensive? I don't get offended when others try to persuade me to be Mormon or Athiest.

According to the bible and christianity, all us humans are sinful and are sorely in need of god's forgiveness and are unworthy of his grace. how can that be? I have committed no grave sin. for the most part, i live by the principle of doing no harm to others. I love my fellow man and believe in maintaining good will towards other human beings.

the bible lists things that are sins (adultry, greed, ......... etc) and i have to say, maybe i have at very few times in my life not completely been a perfect, PERFECT person, but i have done nothing where i would be in such a moral crisis that i would feel that i need the undeserved grace from god. Christians always talk like we are SO bad and that this is a mandate to believe in god's existence. Even if he is real, i have committed no harm or foul against god through free will to do "evil". I am a human being with a central nervous system and brain that contol my desires.

Don't you think that a lot of Atheists and Christians here debate without really fully understanding both sides? I'm not generalizing, but I find that a lot of nonbelievers and believers ask questions that are actually part of the basics of each side. Don't you think that the people of both sides should first stop and investigate both sides before talking?

When science disputes the claims in the bible...who do you believe. Should we take the bible absolutely or take it a story with a moral to it. Looking for insight.

but men were made weak, and became sinful pretty much right off the bat, then doesnt that mean, that jesus died for nothing, why would god, who supposedly made jesus, and told him to die for mans sins, also make man sinful, in turn making jesus's supposed efforts meaningless? Why do you have repent or follow the rules of the bible when Jesus supposedly took care of all that for all mankind?

The council of Nicea established the cardinal doctrine of Christianity, Trinity (by Athanesius of Alexandria)

The council also changed the birthday of Prophet Jesus to 25 December to match the birthday of Sun-God Mithras, and shifted the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday.

Why do protestants and catholics fight? We are both brothers and sisters through Christ, and we both generally believe in the same thing, we should be fighting the evil in the world not ourselves. Please lets put our differences aside and act like Jesus taught us to, how can we help others when we can't even help ourselves? All I am asking is for peace and love between protestants and catholics, we're both christians, so why should we fight?

Why did god give us the ability to do things god call sinful? Why, then, does god punish us for doing exactly what god created us to do?

Notice the all-knowing and all-powerful part in the question. Freewill is not an answer, because that defeats the claim that god is all-knowing and all-powerful.

I'll be joining some friends and attending a Zen meditation retreat soon. Part of the experience there will be them ringing what they call the ' Great Bell '. It is rung a very specific number of times. Do you know why it is rung that many times ? Just wondering ?

We must first of all know that the entire Bible is corrupted and unreliable and is mostly filled with man-made laws and corruption! GOD Almighty Said: "`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws, that they had turned the Bible into a lie!

See Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death.

The Book of Moses predicted that the Law (Bible) will get corrupted. The Book of Jeremiah which came approximately 826 years after did indeed confirm this corruption.

Let us look at Song of Solomon 8:10 "Dear brothers, I'm a walled-in virgin still, but my breasts are full— And when my lover sees me, he knows he'll soon be satisfied."

She is a virgin with full swelling breasts. When her lover meets her, he will be satisfied from those swelling breasts! Obviously, she is referring to licking, sucking and other pornographic things that I can't mention here. Believe me this verse is not talking about them worshiping GOD Almighty together when they meet!! It is clearly and indisputably referring to graphic sex that involves her swelling breasts and other things such as intercourse.


Let us look at Song of Songs 4:5 "Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies."

Let us look at Song of Songs 1:13 "My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts."

Praising the bed that they had sex on: Let us look at Song of Songs 1:16 "How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant"

Let us look at Song of Songs 1:2-4 "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love (i.e., semen) more than wine. How right they are to adore you!" I don't think this would be appropriate for a kid under 18 to read. Also, I don't think it is appropriate to have such open sexuality in a divine book anyway.

His right arm sexually feeling her body: Let us look at Song of Songs 2:6 "His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me."

Let us look at Song of Songs 3:4 "Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me." So in other words, she was not married to him, and when she found him, she took him back to her bed room to have illegal sex with him? If she were married to him, she wouldn't take him to her "mother's house". She would take him to their house.

Let us look at Song of Songs 3:10 "Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior lovingly inlaid by the daughters of Jerusalem." Why does the Bible teach young men to spend all of their time and effort to try to impress all of the girls in their town so they can possibly end in bed with them?

this is a hypothetical question, so don't anyone stain their britches before you here me out

what if the bible and christian theology all said mostly the same as it does now, but never mentions a heaven and just stated that god would help you out in THIS life if you believed in him.

Would you live the life prescribed in the bible (denying sexual impulses, give to the needy) if the bible said that if you did those things, god would look out for you in this life, not an afterlife?
would living god's will still be worth it or would it be a dealbreaker?
