I don't believe there is a hell. I think there is only heaven. I believe hell was an invention of the Church to make people better follow God's laws. Many people have had near death experiences and said there is only a heaven and not a hell. I can't see God torturing any of His children forever.

Christians believe in objective truth. At least all of the Christians I have met believe this. This means that there is truth that is not subject to our opinion or our ability to understand it. It is something that stands on its own and is not reliant on us for anything. Christians believe that the truth still stands, whether people recognize it or not. Some people call it absolute truth. The idea is that there is a standard that is immovable and irrevocable. I am saying that this is what Christians believe. I am not trying to make a statement that this is, or is not, correct

So, now hopefully I have made it a little clearer what it is that I am thinking about. Now what it is that I would like to know is this.

Are there any persons here who are not Christians AND who also believe in objective truth (or absolute truth).

Why so much violence among our young people? A Department of Education Survey which analyzed violence in U.S. schools reported that public schools nationwide experienced more than 11,000 fights in which weapons were used, 4,000 rapes and other sexual assaults and 7,000 robberies. Other reports from Time and Newsweek magazines tell us the suicide rate among U.S. teens has risen 120% in the last 15 years while drug use has risen almost 80% since 1992. The Bible tells us about a time that these kinds of violent deeds and rebellious acts will be committed by children all over the world.

We cannot kill collectively as a nation and call it God's will and love our enemies individually and also call it God's will. God isn't doubleminded.
To be a Christian involves an individual choice. So in order to love our enemies, we must love them as Christ said.
I cannot say I love the terrorists while killing them. I cannot love God by killing souls for whom his Son died for.
Coulter calls others who disagree with her godless, but what is godless is to hate and kill and call it God's will. We are living in a time when we need to discern the difference between God and Satan. Whose side are we really on
Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3.17 "For the Son of man is not come to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved."
My question.....how is taking the gospel to the world done by killing those for whom Christ died?
How was killing anyone a victory for the Cross?
Don't say it is getting rid of evil. Bear in mind, it is only Christ's blood that saves from evil

Obviously, most if not all Christians believe in objective truth. I am curious if there are any non-Christians who do.

He put the tree and snake in the garden. He created Satan. He brought a murderous flood that didn't work and was meant to fix his mistake. What gives?

"Could God make a rock so big..."

Today : "A new study has shown children in Christian homes are more happy" (nods to NeoFrehley on that one)

Why? Why are they persecuting us with a constant onslaught of sweet alcohol?

Not according to the Koran he wasn't.

1. He was sinless (Mary 19)
(Mohamed was a sinner AlFath 1-2
2. He is for all people AlAnbie 91
(Mohamed is not for all people)
3. Jesus means salvation (Monaggi) and Messiah (yemsah) means to wipe away. He wipes away sins.
4. Jesus is a mercy from God. Mary 21
(Mohamed is just a messenger AlAmran 144)
5. Jesus is alive today AlAmran 55
(Mohamed is just a warner and doesn't know what will be done with him or his followers AlAlqaf 9)
6. Jesus knows the way to heaven Injil John 14:6. Jesus said "I am the way'
(Mohamed doesn't know the way becuase he himself wasn't sure what would be done with him on the day of judgement)
Who would you prefer to follow? One who says they are the way, or the one who says he doesn't know waht will be done with him? Who will intercess for you on the day of judgement? Jesus, who is returning on the day of judgement or Mohamed who needs someone to intercess for him becuase he too is a sinner like the rest of us

That R&S forum means a DISCUSSION about religion and spirituality, meaning we can discuss how stupid it is while they discuss how great it is? I mean, you never see the atheists whining about all these "believers" in the R&S section. Is that proof of lower intelligence in believers?

If you are reading the bible to find faults in it, you aren't going to find God. That isn't an honest heart after God. That is trying to prove to yourself the God of the Holy Bible isn't.

Jesus said that if you seek you will find. Also that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Those who seek God must believe God Is, and is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him.

Why don't people diligently seek God with an honest heart?
