I mean it has a huge statue of Jesus and many believers, shouldn't God want this to be a good place to live. I mean the worst part of town seems to be the region known as the "City of God." You think someone who loves praise so much would just be in love with Rio.

I read in the Book of Revelation that the Rupture will happen when Jesus comes, and the Earh will be turned inside out like a kernel of popcorn, and all the righteous souls (or at least the ones who believe in Jesus) will be lifted up, and all will gather in the sky, along with a hundred and forty-four thousand angels blowing trumpets. But I also understand that more info has recently come out. Question: What will happen next?

I think most Catholics and nonCatholic Christians would agree that you cannot earn salvation by "works" or rituals - it is something given by God
but then I have understood that we must continue to "work out" our salvation all through life - I guess this "working out" is different from works but I dont know how or what that exactly that means

for a Biblical reference:
"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Phil. 2:12

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Along the lines of my recent question asking how Christians feel about all the different denominations, I now ask you about homosexuality. Many said that if they teach Jesus, then they are okay with the denomination. Does that hold if the denomination supports homosexuality? How can you reconcile one denomination that says gay is okay with another that says God considers it a sin?

Because I sure find it insulting when you say you are going to pray that I will find it.

Who is GOD?

God becomes real in your life when you mentaly accept God as representing the facts as they really are, being true, acceptance, assent, belief, credence. You become God as mutch as you accept from God... the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit...

I have been reading with interest some of the answers where it is being pointed out that God gave 'Choice' to his beings and the wrong choice leads Humans to 'fall' ! Is it not something like someone pointing a gun at me and telling me 'Handover everything to me or I shall kill you' !! Is this really a choice or high handedness a method followed by crimnals and tyrants. So, God says "Believe in me or I shall punish you - Eternal Hell".
For an entity called all Wise, all Just and Fair, such a condition of forced obedience under the threat of punishment, Is it really Just and fair ? What sort of choice is this ? Kindly Explain !! I'm Confused. I would rather be without such a God than be with Him, the one who shows total irrationality !!

I think this is one of the most ridiculous questions I have ever seen on Y!A. This person prayed that the Colts would win and she and some who answered the question think god answered their prayers.

This is just one of the MANY reasons I am an atheist. Believers...if your god is so powerful and such a loving god, then why would he answer a prayer like that and yet turn away from all the people who are suffering from abuses, illnesses, starvation, etc? If he is so loving wouldn't he answer the prayers of those who really and truly need help?

about 70 yrs after the fact and not by eyewitnesses; amd notwithstanding the allegation that the authors were God-inspired. Isn't it possible that those who related the stories either lied or misinterpreted facts like virgin birth, water turned into wine, walking on water, Lazurus story, resurrection etc?

It took at least ten miracles by God and Aaron to rescue them from Pharaoh. One of the miracles even involved Aaron's rod, which was turned into a snake, and ate Pharoah's servants' snakes. Another miracle turned the Nile River into blood.

As I read about the horrors inflicted upon the Hebrew folk by Hitler, it strikes me that God did nothing that even comes close to what he did for them in Egypt three thousand years or so ago; and millions of them perished.

Since church people claim that GOD NEVER CHANGES, this seems to beg a huge question. Any church people care to answer?

Answers please; not excuses. Thank you.
