...because they dont know what to expect... that Atheists are the only ones with something to lose out of all this... cos believers will go to Heaven, but non-believers will go to Hell if its all true...

Doesnt sound right to me... look at it this way...

Atheist: Doesnt believe, wont be pushed into it, accepts life and death as it is... know where they stand in life.

Christian: Threatens Atheists will go to Hell if they do not believe, speaks of how they must serve God so that they can go to Heaven and live an eternal after-life... therefore NOT dying...

Who is afraid of dying?

(What i have said about a Christian above i agree, is a little judgemental... but i took parts of that from what a Christian in these forums said.)

I hear arguements from both sides claiming that they are being attacked by the other side. Which is it? Are both or neither possible true?

My husband and I are divorced but we had two children. Our daughter is just like him in looks, but acts like me (Thank God, the little sweetie tries to help out and cleans up her own mess at the age of 3). Our son has a seizure disorder but looks exactly like me when I was a baby. He was diagnosed at three weeks of age. Here's the really odd thing. There is absolutely no family history of it whatsoever on either side of the family. They've done genetics and all sorts of tests, but nothing has been found. My bf who I knew for years before he became my bf in June DOES have a history but he himself does not have it. His brother does so there is family history. I was also thinking a lot about him while pregnant with my son because I already knew the marriage was basically over. Is a sort of spiritual transference possible? Just some ideas please.

Doesn't sound like a very merciful God if you go to hell forever if you make him angry. Sometime it feels some people become Christians more out of fear of this than out of love for Jesus or whatever it is. What do you think?

I dunno why but it's been going through my head recently that maybe God as we think of him is an "alien". Not an alien as like the kind that abduct you and stick stuff in your butt but an alien as in just a living being outside of our planet in the universe. Think about it. Adam and Eve were put on the Earth by God to prosper. They were said to be in Gods image. Basicly meaning we and god look the same. Is it not possible God (and ourselves) are really just what we would consider aliens for another part of the universe? and we were put here on this planet to start the civilization we now have? Maybe his (gods) fast travel thoughout the universe explains why to him a year is a second like it's said in the Bible. B/c speed of light travel distorts time. It would explain why there is really no evidence of human evolution. We just seem to have at some point appeared. Possibly off of a space craft? lol I know it sounds crazy but it seems to make sence. What do you think?

do you believe if we die and go to heaven he will give you all a little set of things that make people remember you and make oyu fel special, or do you believe only god is worthy of that,

because at least i have my own, and he has to get evryone to agree on his being his unless this is part of it,

to bad know one is worth being made a freind like adam was.

...believe in the trinity when their own reference books admit that it is not a Bible teaching?

A Protestant publication states: "The word Trinity is not found in the Bible . . . It did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century." (The Illustrated Bible Dictionary) And a Catholic authority says that the Trinity "is not . . . directly and immediately [the] word of God."—New Catholic Encyclopedia.

The Catholic Encyclopedia also comments: "In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together.

"The formulation 'one God in three Persons' was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. . . . Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective."—New Catholic Encyclopedia.

The government is much better at telling us what is right and wrong because they can reflect the public mood much better. A liberal, accepting approach to all things makes a much better World.

I think Chinese New Year and the giving of red packets is a Chinese tradition to bring in good luck and drive away the bad spirits? So should Christians or even a Church be celebrating Chinese New Year?

We cannot understand why God had created this world. Please reply after considering that:-
1) God had not created us just to worship God.
2) So many people had everything available to them canbe found in the world like of Mr. Bill Gate, President of USA etc.

We could not understand why God had created this world. Any body should answer if anyone had found the satisfactorily answer in this regards.

Thanks
