...because of his quote, "No one may enter heaven but through me."

What makes you think this refers to a belief in his divinity? Couldn't he have meant that no one enters heaven without his approval, or without following his teachings? Why or why not?

The Actual End (unless we blow ourselves up):
In ~4,700,000,000 years, when the sun - in its death throes - goes red-giant and its circumference engulfs Earth, making what might be called, Xian "Hell"! ... (Kewl.)

I'm a deist so I don't accept the idea of hell. But I was looking at something and this is what I put in a previous answer because I found it extremely interesting:

The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) makes no reference to "eternal torment" in "hell." In the Hebrew Bible, the words "sheol" and "hades" simply refer to "the grave" or "death." In fact, no theory of "life after death" is found in the Hebrew Bible. The psalmist prayed, "For I am thy passing guest, a sojourner, like all my fathers. Look away from me, that I may know gladness before I depart and be no more (Psalms 39:12-13).

The idea of hell being a place of everlasting torment comes primarily from the book of Revelation in the New Testament. This book was written during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian (81 AD - 96 AD) who claimed to be divine and insisted on being worshipped. The Christians who refused emperor worship were subject to persecution and execution.

In my book, they're called 'Thumberlinas'...
(Individual users who target specific users)

There's also the 'Thumb and Thumber'
(The clones who target specific users and those who work in 'groups')

Aren't they cute? :-)

What is the origin of these 'blue laws' and do you feel that your religion should be imposed upon others?

It is my understanding that these religions are more communal with nature and balance and harmony, I have seen many people on here saying mean things to others, especially those of other organized religions. It is my undestanding that mother earth and love for one another is foremost. Your thoughts?

Does he have Big Bang-like theories that he tries to refine & prove? Does he ponder spiritual possibilities? Does he have a book that tries to explain it all?

I already posted this but people stopped answering it. So, which do you believe in, creation or evolution? I don't really believe in God and tend to think evolution is true. Give some reasons why you think your right in believing what you do. Don't get mad people, this is just for fun.

P.S. I've already heard "because the Bible says so."

P.P.S. "Because Darwin said so" is just as bad.

I have a challenge for you to finally prove your faith and belief that the end of times are really here. I have been told by many that the end of times are here and that it will be before the next 50 years that it will end. My challenge is for you to sign over all your properties and bank accounts to me for the years following 2057, until then it's all yours but after that it's mine, will you sign it over as an act of total faith or would you be reserved in signing it over. I'm only interested in hearing from those that believe that the end times are here but am happy to hear comment from anyone

Rabbi Saul(St. Paul) Created his own Covenant.

He negated the Divine Law and made a Jesus for the Gentiles.


Genesis 17:9-10 ---Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.
This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

Galatians 5:2 ---- Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.

Not to mention the hardest one to overcome, is the inability to go through life without passing judgement on others? I know I'm guilty of judging people, as I know many people are, both Christian and non-Christian.

Why can't we see that nobody is perfect, and all fall short of the grace of God?
