You have a choice to make now, mortals.
You may believe that I exist, and follow your lives in support of me, doing only good deads. Then, you can join me in the Afterlife.

..or..

You may not believe in me, and live your life in the belief that your "sins" will be "forgiven." Then, when your heart is weighed against the feather of Ma'at, your soul will be devoured by Amut.

How will you wager? There is only one right answer.

I am NOT talking about the rapture.

I am talking about a gentle man with gnostic beliefs that bordered on Buddhism. Wait, I can see the answers to that one.LOL

No, lets say a gentle man who spoke of loving each other and God. Jesus was a liberal of his time, and they killed him for it. He said those without sin cast the first stone, so I can see him standing up for the rights of all people. He said Judge not, lest ye be judged. Now how liberal is that?

Everything he stood for goes against judgement. Christianity is about judgement, or at least some Christians are.

Would you accept him?

I would like to know what the Christians here view is on the difference between preaching in the pulpit, teaching in the pulpit, and speaking in the pulpit.

I find the faith of Buddhism fascinating and wish to know a great deal more...I apologize for my ignorance of it thus far..but curious about one aspect. As far as witnessing...is it the same in Buddhism...I mean the winning over of converts? Do they try to, I guess "save" people, like the Christian faiths? I just don't remember when I think back on my life seeing that sort of thing, but I may have just not been in the right areas at the right times.

Atheists: don't believe that there is a 'God'
Agnostics: don't know either way (are nuetral)
Christian: Believes that there is a creator God that came in human form (as the Lord Jesus Christ) to act as a 'scapegoat' for the sins of man kind. Through faith a Christian accepts this same Jesus as their Lord and savior, repents (changes there ways) and believes they have been saved. By the way Christains are saved by Grace not by works (what they do), it's all God's doing. Read the Bible for more info (especially the New Testament)...

I have a friend at school that keeps calling me a sinner and he says im going to hell for some things that I do, and the worst I've done is cussed. He goes to the "Church of Christ" and from what I understand, they are hypocrits, and they think everything that they do is right. How do I deal with this guy? Is there any bible verses that I could put him down with?? Well thank you for your help.

2Pe 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

In the dream, We picked him up from the airport and he rode in the car with us and we dropped him off at a house. She asked me to sleep over her place that night and the next morning she drove me over and showed me where my old crush lived and I had the strongest feelings of love and happiness. Can any one accurately interpret this dream for me please?

I am a female.

No guesses please, this is extremely important to me.

I am curious...what do you think the least violent major religion is in our world. Not just the history of it...but taking into accord the scriptures, the followers, the practice, the laws of the faith. All of it. I know that many wars have been fought in the name of faith. Taking that aside though...and just from baseline observation of the faith and the practice of it's followers, which do you believe to be?

If only about 18 percent of the world is not relgious, and the other 82 percent is religious. This would make being a non-religious person abnormal. I submit that religion is a sham deep down we all know this of course. What is mind boggleing is that 82 percent of the world still believes in fairy-tales. I know I am not stupid, but is the majority of the world so childish still in the 21 century? Im the crazy one for not believeing in something right? So the people who believe in flying angels, Immaculate conception, a hell, a heaven. People are believeing whole-heartedly in things they can never see, and I am still the crazy one or is it the other 82 percent that is insane?

[And quit passively aggressively praying for me it's annoying.]

He has been given lessons a few times by the missionaries but refused to read and pray to know whether Joseph smith is the true prophet or not because he believes strongly that his own church is true and therefore is not willing to read the book of mormon and pray to know the truth. So the missonary concluded by saying the more educated a person, the less humble he is even when it comes religious beliefs plus someday, he will be sorry when he finds out that he is wrong when he is on the other side while the missionary will be happy to say, I told you so. My question is: just because a person is not willing to accept/convert to another faith, does that mean he/she is not humble enough to open their hearts/minds to learn the truth? The mormons can be smug about their beliefs sometimes that the rest of the world are all going to the wrong churches while they're the only true church on earth.

The Holy Spirit convicts of sin and converts a good sinner as well as a bad sinner, correct? So, when Jesus called out to God for forsaking him did not God who could not look upon sin turn away for a brief glance? There may come a time when a person no longer feels the conviction of the Holy Spirit in the same sense that if abused there is therefor no longer grace, right? So, the precious hound dog of the Holy Spirit will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and in twenty years if you still haven't dealt with sin you will alas, yes? Does not God then prayer through sinners in advance? To go to heaven and have your soul personality and character burned away your individuality along with your spirit may be very small, yea?

We are still at War Because, Our President is Hell Bent on His Own Selfish Agenda. Our County, In this Last Election, Clearly Chose Democratic Candidates that Oppose the War. Our Country was Falsley Led into this War with Tainted Information from our President (and Backed by the Fundamentalist Christians, which he is just using for political gain). Bush Refuses to listen to the American Majority because he and his Elite Group of Friends have to Much invested in Oil and Money to change their ways. This will all End Soon as Soon as the New Democratic President goes into office. Peace at Last
