Have you turned to Christ in repentance?
If so....you are forgiven and on your way to heaven

why is it that in christianity you can commit any sin you want (steal, rape, molest children, murder, even all of the above) and still get into heaven if you repent, but if a non christian lives their life in a completely wholesome way, raises kind, compassionate children, contributes to society, volunteers, never breaks the law, etc etc, they still don't get into heaven?
and with this being the case, would the non christian really WANT to go to heaven with all those kinds of people residing there?
please don't answer with bible quotes that may be misinterpreted, i would like actual answers.

Why do I hate Evilution so much? Because Schools throw out the bible, calling it just a theory and then drag in another idea to replace it which is an even WORSE theory. Intelligent design has a place in our schools. More so then Evilution and it's mind changing theories. (:

There is a prophetic statement told by prophet Muhammed where he tells his companions about a man who rode a COW and spanked her to move, the COW then spoke to the man and told him that she was not created for riding!

The statement tells that when his companions should "some" surprise that a COW can speak, he told them that he believed the story and they should believe it too.

Is it possible that a cow can speak?

I believe in Creation. I am an Evangelical Christian. Please give me 5 reasons why you believe what you believe. I won't scruntinize any answers that say you believe in evolutionism. I will keep an open mind.

I believe in Creation because:
1. The Bible doesn't mention evolution at all.
2. I couldn't live my life very happily thinking that I was an accident with no reason for being here.
3. Christianity just makes more sense in the long run to me. Evolution is a theory, not proven fact.
4. Every bit of "scientific proof" for evolution has been proven false or inconclusive.
5. I am truly happy as a Christian and I know that I'm going to heaven after I die.

Was anyone shocked when they saw the movie Jesus Camp? It was amazing the parallels between the Radical Christian Right and the brainwashingby Muslim extremists and the lies that those home schooled kids are taught by their ignorant parents

Psalm 115:16: "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men."

and Isaiah 45:18: "For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the [true] God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else."

Psalm 37:29: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."

In my experience Christians see moral rules as something imposed on them from the outside, not something they embrace as rational and purposeful, and they spend their whole lives struggling with the impulse to break the rules they think their god imposes. On the other hand, I follow virtually all the same rules of interpersonal behavior simply because I think they are rational and socially responsible and I don't find sticking to my convictions a challenge.

Some Christians seem to think there were no laws against stealing, killing, adultery, etc until Moses came down from the mountain, and they seem to think that because we atheists don't look to the Bible as the sole authority on everything from particle physics to vinyl siding that we have no values or ethics, or at least they'd like to think so in order to denigrate our disbelief. But their assumed moral superiority simply isn't in evidence, either historically or in current events. It's a red herring and pure ad hominem.

If animals have a conscience, it certainly isn't the same as humans. A grizzly bear or lion can attack another animal and eat it. It doesn't debate this issue morally first. It doesn't do it out of rage and they don't feel bad and commit suicide afterwards. They are simply animals being animals. So why did humans evolve this heavy burden of a conscience, compassion, and another mixes of emotions? If we are truly animals and our only point in life is to be born, eat, procreate to keep the species going, then die and become worm food....what benefit would having these emotions serve us? In fact, wouldn't they be detrimental to the expansion of our species? Darwin was correct about survival of the fittest with animals. Mothers will often abandon their weak children to better feed the strong and it is not upsetting to them, but humans dont do this. When a mother murders or abandons their child it isnt seen as sick because society says so, something emotional deep and emotional gets us

A friend passed away a year ago today and he liked a song. There is an older song about whenever someone dies a new child is born to take their place. Does anyone know what the name of this song is or the lyrics?

The Calvinist doctrine of predestination (as I understand it) holds that only the elect will be saved: a portion of mankind redeemed by God's grace from the total corruption brought to all mankind by the Fall. The elect are saved through no merit or actions of their own, but only by God's free gift of grace to them. The remainder of mankind is fully depraved and worthy of damnation. Moreover, because grace is irresistable, the question of worthiness or even morality does not enter into it; one cannot 'choose' to be saved, nor can one opt not to be.

But does this doctrine suggest a God who is arbitrary and tyrannical, picking out His favourites at whim? And if it does, would it have any meaning if we were to describe this God as irrational, or even evil? Do Calvinists have a way around this, or do they accept this image of a terrible God?
What do you think?

Does that mean that you also believe that nothing(as far as morals go) is absolute,cuase everything is reletive to the individual person?

If you do believe this,have you noticed like I have,that relative morals dont work very well when it comes to the real world&when it comes to people being uninted?Becuase if everyone is making there own somewhat different morals,then nobody has the same morals,then noone agrees or agrees to a point where they can not only unite,but stay uninted;cuase eventually the different set of morals&possibly evan opposing morals will clash&that tiny bit of unity will quikly fall apart.God(Jesus)has given us morals that will work for everybody;now what exactly do ya'll find offensive about the morals God gives us?

Why do christains worship a zombi? (dead... comes to life again to walk the earth and take over)

Why do they hate non-christains (especially muslims) when they say that they love everyone?

Why are they the biggest hippocrits when it comes to religion? (i love you because jesus loves all but i hate you because of your religion)

for their hypocracy? i hear a lot of christians say of people like ted haggard, "well, he's only human." for me, that doesn't wash. bill clinton was "only human" - he never claimed to be a beacon of moral fortitude. ted haggard ranted against gays and drugs from the pulpit. doesn't that make hypocracy in his case a bigger sin than anything else he's done?
