I can't believe that he is one of you. This freak, this perfect example of the absolute rottenness of which a human being is capable...is a Christian. And all you do is shake your heads and click your tongues.

There are two persons , one person called "A" is living a life based on evil. Does nothing but break the law, has several convictions for rape assault and murder. Makes an effort to ensure others are unhappy and miserable. Gets happiness and satisfaction out of seeing other peoples suffering.

The other person "B" is the exact opposite, lives life on a positive note. Helpful to all, genuinly cares for others and has never committed a crime.

Now on their death beds person "A" accepts Jesus and "B" does not.
The question is.....why does "A" deserve to go to heaven and "B" does not and how does this make sense?

Try to answer without quoting any scriptures.

The strongest argument I hear for God's existence is that some kind of intelligence MUST have created everything...so...who created God? Isn't that relevant?

I know....most people don't read these long explanations but if you please, I'm having a bit of trouble here, I have a test tomorrow and one of the questions if to define the kingdom of God. Unfortunatley I do not keep a bible in this house, but I was wondering if anyone could give me their opinion. I'm sure it's really what you believe personally but then again going to a Catholic school for nine years they might expect a specific anwer. Can you please help? I would just like to know what you think.

Exodus 15:25
Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them.

Genesis 22:1
[ Abraham Tested ] Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied.

Now the question is that testing is required by one who is not aware of something and one who is not aware of the result. While for Allah apparent and hidden is all same and whatever it is in the Heavens and the earth; nothing is hidden from Him. Then why is it necessary for Him to test His servants?

Someone asked on another section about the oldest language. This caused me to wonder what language Adam and Eve spoke. Or maybe they just grunted and made hand signals? This lead me to wonder about the serpent. Wasn't he supposed to have talked to Adam and Eve? What language do you think he spoke when he talked to them?

This is a serious question.

To be honest, I do not see Jesus as even real [as a person even], so do not think I've accepted Corpsey McCorpse. I'm also not an Atheist or Agnostic, so don't even bring that bag of tricks out.

Why do Christians think it was some grand sacrifice for him to die on the cross? Most of them believe he was God incarnate, and thus immortal, and omnipotent, as well as omniscient. As God he would have obviously over powered death, and as omniscient, he would know he would.

For an example, if I ask to borrow 20 bucks, you hand it to me, and I hand it back, do you see that as a sacrifice?
The only real sacrifice is a small chunk of time out of an immortal beings life span. please, enlighten me on how you believe that to have been a sacrifice.

Necromancy :Divination by alleged communication with the dead.

King Saul done this when he called on the prophet Samuel and was cursed for such an act.Calling upon the dead was strickly forbidden and carried the sentence of death at that time. 1 Samuel 28:6-25
I learned today that the Catholic's call not just on the Saints but also on Mary.These be all dead people that they call upon now.Jesus died but ressurected and is the only mediator between God and man.
"For there is one God,and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus 1 Tim.2:5.I might ask my minister or even the church to pray for me,but to ask a dead person to pray for me seems a awful lot like black magic doesn't it ?

I am amazed that some people think we are not in awe of life, that we are not passionate about anything.

I just saw CBS news had a video about a doggy door that had the image of Jesus' face.

I checked my undies - I swear there's the image of Madonna in the back. I have pics to prove it.

Is it a miracle?

Since this question is asked 254 times a day, I was wondering, pure practically, how it should function. A Christians Only Section.

A dear friend of mine deconverted while using this Religious section, from Christian to atheist. At what point should she have unplugged her computer? When she started to doubt? When she was done deconverting?

I also see many people on this forum talking about things like "those are not true Christians". This sentence is usually used when a Christian says something bad. Are those people allowed in a pure Christian section? The not so true Christians?

So, simple question for those who are dying to make this an All Christian Section: how should it work and where are the limits?

I never wanted to be anorexic, but I do feel better about myself when I weigh less. I sometimes even feeling closer to God when I am fasting. This isn't about conceit, I do feel better when I feel better about myself and when I don't feel weighed down. I just don't want God to be upset with me, I love him so much. I feel like crying with how much I love God and Jesus. But I'm afraid that they are upset, and do the anorexics that die go to hell? I really hope they don't, because some of them can be the nicest people ever, and deep down they just want to be better people.
