At what age does "Sin" kick in, meaning that if they die without receiving Jesus into their hearts, they go to hell to suffer everlasting torment at the hands of Satan's demons?

3? 7? 10? 13?

First off let me say I am not bashing Christians. I have yet to decide what to believe and have many religious questions. My question is why do we follow the second hand accounts of the teachings of Jesus, i.e. written by others? Why are there no writings by the man himself?

try to answer logically what is , to all means, illogical?
Do they need a logical explanation???
Can it be that they dont eat their own religion but they are still trying to give it a sense???
why dont they say something like: "ok i know it is not possible to explain it from a logical point of view but i still believe, and it is my personal belief????

if not, then what of the sociopathic murderers who do not recognize right and wrong... what of the retarded and invalid? schizophrenics? if god creates a broken man who must suffer all his life and then also banishes his sould to hell then god is not love. he is evil.

if you have a rebuttal, please give me the scriptural reference... the whole verse if you want, or just the reference, i'll look it up anyway.

Like in Japan (seven tenths of a per cent Christian), India (2 per cent Christian), Europe (While nominaly Christian no one really cares any more). In short, Christians make up only about one third of the world's religions putting them in the minority status. The rest of the world knows about christianity but are not interested.

Does the Book of Mormon talk about Jesus coming to the Americas before or after he was crucified? Also, what time period did it take place during?

Please also see my other question, it hasn't been answered yet.

Matthew 6:5-8

5. And when you pray, do not be like hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I will tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
6. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and prayer to the father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7. And when you prayer, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard, because of their many words.
8.Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

How do you pray to the Father in spirit and in truth.?

How do you know he even likes those songs and sermons?

I am serious by the way not trying to be offensive.

Some one asked the question "Have you read The Satanic Rituals" by Anton LaVey?" I answered I had and gave this answer:
Deleted Answer: I have actually read the book, and all the others by LaVey. Howard Anton Levey (a.k.a Anton Szandor LaVey) founded the Church of Satan in 1966 to cash in on the occult craze of the 1960's. LaVey's philosophy is one of hedonism and "free love" (hardly news for the 60's), and featured rituals with his nude wife and bare breasted female followers, which shows why males would want to join...even at the cost of $20 per meeting back then. LaVey didn't live up to his claims nor did he follow his own creed. Even though Satanism eschews charity of any kind, LaVey and his family lived on welfare and handouts during the late 70s-80s. Even though LaVey claimed Satanic magic could give "mastery of the earth", he still died bankrupt in a house he didn't own. LaVey lied about his accomplishments in life (i.e., an oboist for an orchestra, lion tamer, criminologist,

if the ones that go to heaven will go in spirit (without their earthly body) i suppose the ones who go to hell will go in spirit as well... Why "personalize" when talking about hell but "spiritualize" when talking about heaven?
How can a spirit be tormented if there is no body that feels pain??

i am learning about buddism in school. i try to be christian but its just not happening!
they said having no desires shall lead to happiness, because ur desire may tempt you to do harmful things. as the movie went on, i felt myself nodding and there was a very strong feeling that this may help me. and wen u have no desires, u shall reach "enlightment" or nirvana. not the rock band.
everytime i want to do something bad, like get revenge, i stop myself. and say "no desires". and i find that works. i feel better and not evil or guilty, i feel controlled.
however, now i am having trouble deciding which ones are desires and which ones are needs.
would wanting to go eat at resturants and getting some books to read and stuff be desires, or needs?
im having trouble drawing the fine line between those two.
can anyone assist me?

and by the way, im only twelve and an asian.

that what is good for the individual is not good for the human race as a whole, when it comes to a belief in god?

Religious wars have destroyed millions of lives and there is no end in sight. But religious leaders tell everyone that theirs is the only way.
