ECC 9:1 So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God's hands, but no man knows whether love or hate awaits him. 2 All share a common destiny--the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.

As it is with the good man,
so with the sinner;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.

ECC 9:3 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead. 4 Anyone who is among the living has hope--even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!

ECC 9:5 For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten.

In John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God(your Bible have "God" which is right,every Bible have it this way),and the Word was a god(Why you make a difference,why you treat Jesus as a pagan "god.")He was with God in the beginnig.
For you,Jesus is God,or He is just called "a god'.
If he is God,why you disrespect Him when you talk about Him using "g" insted "G" on the word "God."
Now, if He is "a god" but not almighty,how you can explain that God the Father love Him so much,how He will love Him when God the Father do not accept other gods. Will He send into us another god,when He condamned anyone who trust other gods.
And if He is not God or god,why the Bible said He is God.Any other Bible write ".....and the Word was God." Not "....and the Word was "a god."
Tell me do you believe Jesus is "God" (the Son)or not and why your Bible changed the way this verse is writting in any other Bible.
I want to find out answers for my questions, I do not hate any body.

I believe in God and I try to follow His commandments but when I try to follow the straight path this man named Jesus splits the road into so many ways and I don't know where to go anymore. Jesus' followers don't help at all, they're so many and goes up and down every which way!

Why is Jesus such a big crossroad in religion?

I just had myself a thought the other day. Most homosexuals would like to convince you that what they do behind closed doors is a perfectly natural phenomenon, yes? Many go ahead and believe that theory (I'm calling it theory since it hasn't been scientifically established as hardcore fact yet), while the rest would think that there's no reason a sexual creature would be born to be attracted to the same sex, since being so would be harmful to the species. Many (if not most) of the people who don't think that homosexuality is natural also profess that homosexuality is a horrible sin, and that saying "it's how God made me" only makes matters worse. Here is my thought; if the human race is a naturally sinful species, why couldn't being born inescapably gay fall under that category? If we humans are born to be liars, cheaters, thieves, murderers and the like, why not gay? What do you guys think? Please (civilly) discuss.

Why do many Christians think god is with all religions as long as the people believe in him? Christ said that there would be one right faith or one flock, and yet many christians think that any christian faith is fine as long as you believe in god, yet they all have different doctrines to live by.

And please state your religion....something like this:

I am all for it because they are the Holy people of G-d.

Jesus died for your evil doings(sins)?
;This is evil

No sin is greater than the other?
So murder is the same as lying about your age?
This is evil

I'm going to hell (which is fake) just for using my brain?
This is evil

The good Christians are the fake Christians
The evil Christians are the real Christians

Ok, so i thought of this while making cereal the other day.

The Native Amerians suffered a Genocide, Why doesn't anybody Make a big fuss about it? if anybody even tries to Express his opinion on the Holocaust, he may be facing a sentence in jail.

And another thing, since The Jews are acting Because of their Holy Scripture (the promised Land) and they've killed many hundreds of thousands of Palestinians since the early 20th century Why isn't it ok for the Muslims to do so and "Kill the infidels" as you say?

Serious answers only.

As much as I see a large zealot factor in America within Christianity I have not been bothered to read or understand it's core ideals. I am curious how many of you have gone totally biased strictly due to the zealots??

Does it follow that they will experience hatred or being "different " from others even before they come to the knowledge of Christianity, when Jesus said they were chosen out of the world? And that they did not choose Him, but He chose them?

I am interested with the life of "Christians" when they were still mere sinners like the rest of the world...in contrast with...when they become Christians that Jesus said they will be hated by all for His name's sake.

I thought it would be my religion Christianity because alot of people of my faith can be extremely judgemental, but my uncle who's an atheist says that he thinks more people judge Muslims or Jews. How is that possible when the Muslims & Jews don't spread hate on here like I see the Christians do(not all Christians of course)

I have been attending church 3yrs now. Something is really confusing me! I heard and read in the bible that the dead has no memory. Also in revelation it says when god comes the dead will rise and be judged. So why when someone in my church even the pastor says when someone dies, "Thank god our sister is in heaven," That confuses me???

I sense that something is very very wrong with my mind. It is more than insanity. It is infernal. How can I redeem myself when the dark spirit is thriving and growing within my skull? No amount of counseling or drugs is working. Perhaps I am an evil person?

Do I need to kill myself?

I'm a Christian and I believe in God. I don't attend church at all. I get pressured by my Christian friends that I have to go. Is it really important to go or you can watch tv shows such as Joyce Myer.

You have no proof, in fact, I can't even start disproving you guys because you never HAD PROOF in the first place. Don't lie to me. All religious people are brainwashed by other people to benefit certain people, and you can't tell me I'm wrong if you think really hard about it, and you have the intelligence. Also, i wish you christians would just get out of the way. It's just not fair that just because the government is christian they can take away from the aetheists. (ex. Pledge of allegiance, rejecting stem cell research which saves more people than we have to "kill" in the end) About the stem cells, the legal definition of human life is: it has to have brainwaves, and it's not like the ebreyo cares if it dies.

Since Hitler was so obviously an atheists, do atheists love hilter?As we all know atheists are rather week minded and unintiligent, thats why they stick in groups. Since atheists love hitler is that why the love to spread evil and hate?
Atheists have hitler's mentality!

I don't know the bible that well, but I'm sure there are no stories about Jesus the boy/teen. Where do you think he spent his childhood? I have my own theory but would like to hear yours.
