Christ explained it very clearly.

Mat 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

I just read a question about ribs. I saw two answers, one right above the other, and the combination of the two made it rather funny:

Answer one: Believe it or not many people thought men had one fewer ribs than women for a long long time.

Answer two: it is a medical fact that men do, however, have one less rib than women do. some say it's a medical anomalie, others say that it's because God created woman (eve) with one of adam's ribs.

Can you do me a favor, and simply count your ribs? How many do you have? Please also post your gender...

So Jesus is the only way to salvation, except that Jesus is the only one that can have salvation. We are all sinners after all, right? So how is it that any of us could be saved?

Shouldn't we be emulating Jesus's higher qualities, rather than putting him on an unreachable pedestal?

If Jesus is God, why don't we just worship God?

If Jesus is praiseworthy because of the fact that he attained divinity, isn't it possible that anyone could obtain divinity? Aren't we all sons and daughters of God?

As for prophecy, isn't creation and everything the inspiration of God?

Is Christianity prejudice? If I thought someone was bad before I met them, you'd say I was prejudice. But Christianity pre-judges everyone by saying they are a sinner. So isn't that prejudice? And isn't God the only one that can pre-judge?

If God could do anything, except for evil, then evil is nothing. So doesn't that mean that the devil doesn't exist?

If I'm good, but not a Christian, am I bad?

Is there a circumstance where two or more people flatlined, saw each other floating around above their bodies, maybe talked to each other, then were all resuscitated, and then reported to each other that they all had the same experience?

Okay----
Number One:
The Bible states that if you do not seek the word of the Divine through the Bible, then you are being mislead by Satan.
Did they, actually, did YOU not realize that people who don't
use the Bible probably already have a religion that works for them? And that they are connected with the Divine?

Number Two:
Do you not realize that any SPELL (PRAYER) you do is based upon INTENT?
Say I were to do a spell (prayer) with a POSITIVE intent, lets say I say
"By the Divine powers of the heavens above,
Protect my family as they travel in your Graceful Glove"
-I want you to prove to me that THAT would be EVIL!!!-
Its the INTENTION of what you DO that is JUDGED.........

Number Three:
I believe in Jesus
I believe in God (The Great Spirit, The Divine, etc)
I believe that there may not be anything Divine
I believe that there could be an afterlife, or not
I believe in Buddha
I believe in the Earth
I believe in THE POSSIBILITIES
I believe in ME........
So how much do you know?

.....is it the selfsame consciousness after death as before? Do you have the same memories, beliefs, desires, patterns of thinking, sense of self?

If not, then what is it that survives?

Eze 48:35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

The LORD is there, in the Hebrew "Yehovah Shammah".

She is lost and won't admit it. She talks a good game but I know that people on here have made her question her belief in the Wiccan religion. I can see it in the way she is acting and posting questions and answering them. There is definatly more too it then she will admit. She had a very STRICT Catholic family growing up and our priest was very critical of her when she had her daughter out of wedlock, married outside the religion and then got divorced from him. This all turned her heart away from Jesus and God and to Wicca were her path in life was not looked down upon. She posted a question on here today, but because of the struggle in her mind, it didn't get worded write and most everyone was rude to her about it, thinking it was just a stupid joke. Please, how do I help her? We have been friends for 20 years and I don't like to see her in any pain!

-If the Earth is not a closed system, why would the 2nd law trump evolution?

-On a cosmological level, how does the 2nd law prove God is real?

I've read the arguments for both and am wondering if anyone has more to offer. So far I've been disappointed.

It was about what people thought satanism is.


Answers made me realize....Why do people answer when they don't really know what they are talking about.

EX: Human/Animal sacrafices.
Nothing to do with satanism.

In God's eyes is killing in a video game still murder, since the intent is still there, even though you're not hurting anyone in real life?

Question may have been asked a billion times already but oh well.
So if there is this creator and he created me individually then wouldnt he understand that I am a person of logic, a person that makes decisions based on what I feel is real, as well as what I dont feel is real.
Logic can not be evil so you cant say the devil is affecting my beliefs. And yet for me logic superceeds faith and the whole notion of god is founded on faith.
I hear "open your heart" yet I dont feel anything to open my heart to. I mean I open my heart all the time to my kids, the kids I work with my family and my friends.
Also for those that say I am going to hell because I dont believe. Wouldnt it be better to believe solely with your heart after tossing all possibilities around in your head, rather than believe on a pretense of fear that if you dont youre going to hell. Seems kinda fake to me and if there is a god who knows and sees all he would see right through that.

If you believe satan is real, how do you know that what you believe to be right is actually right? It could be Satan is making it seem that it is right.

Note: This is to those who believe Atheists cannot have morals without religion.

This is another of those phrases that confuses me. I hear people refer to themselves as 'being saved', but they never clarify what they were saved from beyond saying "sin". Well, isn't it just a choice to behave yourself that would "save" you from "sin"? What would anyone or anything else have to do in the matter? Aren't you just denying your own responsibility to act as if you do not have some sort of choice in the matter?

So, "saved" from what?
