or going home before that which would you chose? Me I will probablly be home with 5 years. Will not say why.So if Jesus gave you a choice of being raptured alive in 20 years or going home before that what would you say to Jesus?Knowing that in 20 years the world be be in so much caos it is not funny.Or if in 40 years you know you were going to be raptured alive if you are still alive(as lot of people will not be including me).or be taken home sooner. Because once you are in Heaven you will not care when Jesus is coming back. Why would you care about when Jesus will return if you are already in Glory? I am not going to be.

I know many people say that the Sabbath was done away with, but then why is it affirmed in the New Testament? Some argue that we only need to rest in God's grace. Why not symbolize that rest by actually resting on the day he made for us? Shouldn't it be a sign of Jesus' grace and Him giving us a break? It sure doesn't sound like God changed His mind on which day is Holy to Him.

Here is the verse you can look up.

In case it doesn't work, you can look up Hebrews 4:1-13

As an onmicient being, it's not unreasonable to assume he knew that most people he created would eventually go to hell. Not for being evil per se, but for the unremarkable act of failing to be saved. And because there's plenty of confusion since most competing religions make the claim that the only way to be saved is through them, an argument can be made that most of mankind is merely being misled. Should humans be made to suffer for eternity for this ignorance. If so, why does God hate most of mankind so much?

It is Friday dark till Saturday dark. Sabbath is very important and is a commandment. Also spoken of as a seal in Revelation.

Anyone keep it? If you desire to, a step by step is here, under "how to celebrate the Sabbath" on the left. http://www.returntogod.com

Also, Jews will tell you you arent supposed to keep it... dont listen. Remember, they think Jesus was an idiot. So why take their advice? We are to keep the Shabbat/Sabbath I assure you.

Personally, I believe humans are no different from all the scared little animals except that human behavior is vastly more complex. All this bad karma seems motivated by fear, and we fear whatever seemingly threatens our safety net. Hatred and aggression are defense mechanisms.

In Darwin's time there was a relative lack of evidence supporting his theory, but he still found a considerable amount in fields like biogeography, embryology, and paleontology. Now, advances in science have added new evidence in those fields, as well genetics, microbiology, immunology, and a host of others.

Evolutionary principles have led to better treatments for diseases such as leukemia and AIDS, and speciation has been witnessed in scientific experiments involving short-generation species such as fruit flies. Also, fossils of "transitional species" such as tiktaalik continue to emerge as predicted.

Thus far, opponents to evolution have focused vainly on undermining the research without providing a reasonable alternative.

So why is it that 51% of Americans don't accept evolution? If we're really still in such a Dark Age-mentality, why don't we also still believe that the world is flat, that the sun revolves around it, and that literate women should be burned at the stake?

I will take the atheist position. You ask whatever you like.
You take the Christian position. I respond to you.

Of course, others will reply too, because questions are not restricted, but it will be fun. The key is to better at discussing thier own position.

Revelation 18:9-10 says ""When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her will weep and mourn over her. Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
O Baby-lon, city of power!
In one hour your doom has come!'

Revelation refers to 2 Baby-lons, a religious system and a political system. I will show you why the religious system is Vatican City.

Beginning of Catholicsm was in Rebellion. Genesis 10:6 talks about Nimrod and Babel. They went east, as far from the the light of G-d as they could get.

In Genesis 11 they sought another way to G-d. They wanted to build a city that reached heaven. Like catholics feel their good works can save them, when the Bible says you MUST be born again.

Nimrod married Samarimus. She saw herself as G-d and her son Tammus as the Messiah. They made themselves the object of worship. The woman holding the baby was the symbol of this mother child cult. This symbol is still used by the Catholic church today, as Mary and Jesus.
Samarimus saw herself as G-d and taught that she was the queen of heaven. Thius cult spread from baby-lon to Pyhnisshia, and it grew to Bell worship. Then on to Pergummum.

Rev 2:13, G-d calls Pergimmum “as Satan’s seat”

This “bell worship” taught salvation came by worshipping the mother child cult (mary and Jesus) , by sacraments (good works) and by the sprinkling of water. (catholic Christening). They also taught pergatory, a waiting room for heaven. The thief on the cross was told “THIS DAY you will be with me in paradise” Not a few years later. That thief was the first one to go to heaven by the blood of Jesus. There is no pergatory. Your last breath here is your first breath there. Catholics still teach these today.

Sammarimus taught her son was killed by a wild boar hunting. She had the temple servants feast 40 days. They now call this lent.

Then she taught her son Tammus was resurrected. They called it Ishtar, a spring feast. Today its known as Easter. How did they celebrate? Exchanged brightly colored eggs as a symbol of life out of death. So, celebrate Tammus at easter…or Jesus at Passover.

Samarimus said her son Tammus was born in mid winter and brought the pagan evergreen tree as a symbol of life. Today we call it a Christmas tree. Jesus was born during Succot. Celebrate Tammus at Christmas, if you wish. (more on the tree in Jeremiah 10)

The Roman empire had a religious crown given to the Ponifas Maximus, today it is known as Pope. 312 AD, in one day every one in the Roman empire was considered a Chrisitan. The edict of toleration came. No repentance, they worshipped the mother child cult, they had the same idols, the emporer, the pope, no confession of sin, did not accept Jesus, removal of sin by sacrement not by blood, still went to cathedrals. Continues to this day under Ponifas Maximus, the Pope.

This system is the Mystery Beast of revelation 17. You already see the hatred of Europe for America. John said she holds in her hand a cup full of the blood of the saints. Because Roman church sponsored killings of Jews and early Christians. Rev 17 says she sits on 7 mountains. Like Rome. This IS the Religious Baby-lon. Fits all prophesy.

Political Baly-lon on Euphrates river is Iraq…but it will not be rebuilt. Isaiah 13:9 confirms this. As does Jeremiah 50:39.

It is a doctrine of demons….a way not approved by G-d I assure you. Leave the Catholic church. I don’t say this to make you feel bad. I want you all saved! I was a Catholic for 16 years. Many great people! Just a bad system. Love you!

Many religions ignore science when some of their beliefs are factually disproved. They call it a theory. The mormon founder, while speaking as god, said that some American Indians were direct descendants of jewish colonists called lamanites. Genteic testing has proved this is as preposterous as it sounds yet many people still choose to believe. Why and how?

I've been browsing Yahoo! Answers for awhile now and I'm avoiding the religious section like the plague. This is rather sad since spirituality is one of my favorite topics to talk about! I've seen some absolutely great answers and advice, except in the religious section. Instead of just voicing your beliefs and leaving it at that, everyone seems to get really defensive and next thing you know a flame war has started. Why is that? Why does everyone have to be so rude to everyone when it comes to religion? This is not just in Yahoo! Answers but in nearly every aspect of society.

You'd think people in the Religion section would be the kind-hearted ones.
