OK, so Earl has his list of wrong doings and he's trying to back pedal and undo all the damage he's done, thus levelling his Karma.

But would the big man upstairs take this as a suitable alternative to confessing his sins (he did after all, write them down) and let him into the big swoire?

I think so. The bible talks about a lake of fire in revelation but no one else preached about hell, not Paul or Jesus himself.

What is translated as hell in some cases is an actual place, a garbage dump if you will.

Re 19:20
And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.

Re 20:10
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Re 20:14
Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Re 20:15
And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Looks like in Re 20:15 its not forever.

I'm not judging anyone here; I just want to know what the opinions of others are, concerning so much disbelief. Why do so many not believe in God? Does everyone who claims disbelief actually feel there is no God? Or....are they looking for a reason to believe? Does this disbelief sometimes occur because of the conditions in the world?

I am 42. I began to have doubts about Christianity 10 or so yrs ago. No one had answers.I decided that the word Christian locked me into a catagory that I did not agree with. I came here to learn from you and how your belief works for you. Last night I ask an answer and got called a "vapid troll" I assure you I am not. I just need to ask you questions. OK now the question. Do you need to be firmly rooted in your beliefs to fit in on this forum? I have an open heart and mind, I need to find answers. Thank you

Do you believe that a flood covered the whole planet? It not a matter of faith for me, it a matter of who passed on the story. Then again a coworker tried to tell us that dinosaurs were on the ark. I didnt even say a word.

Wont beleive the biblical account of creation. The Bible gives the geneology of Jesus, from Adam, created on the sixth day, to his birth. A period of about 4000 years.
I guess a lot of "Christians" just dont have enough faith in the word of God.

When we have no proof of God, how can you say that man is fallible and God is not? If we have no proof he even exists, how do we truly know that scriptures contain his word?

You wonder why we laugh at you and this is why:

YOU ARE WRONG!

Do research outside of the bible.

Doesn't it make sense to first get us to believe in your imaginary friend before trying to scare us over what your imaginary friend will do with us unless we believe he's real too?

Do you really think threatening us with a fairy tale will cause us all to convert in a panic?

Have you checked in with reality lately?

You might be aware that aeroplane was an impossible device, but mankind made it.
Live telecast is also a surprising system.
But Hindu ancient texts already refer such devices Pushpak Viman and Dhutrastra-Sanjay Live commentary of Mahabharat war,..and Sudarsan Chakra on the hand of God and Godess....Now, the question is, Is it possible to make a self rotating device producing energy just like a 'sudarshan chakra' ?
If I say we can make it, which rest of world refute by their scientific superstition and believes such thing is impossible. I have confirmed that no Indian Institute of Technology or Science is undertaking any research on this subject. I want to know is there any body to sponcer research and making of proto-type for which design is ready? I hope the reader of this question will reply his opinion or ask persons in his/her group to solve the problem of searching a new source of energy.--GRAVITY(GAYATRI)...No cost , constant, available everywhere on earth.

Isn't the message intended to strike terror and fear into the hearts of non-believers, so they scurry like rats on a sinking ship looking for the only life-boat in the water: christianity?

Isn't an act of terrorism illegal?

Which means "godly" is "god-like".

Since I see Christians refer to non-christians as "ungodly" all the time, that would mean Christians believe themselves to be "godly", aka "god-like".

Which brings me to this poor soul:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuY3UZGMPQOHguXTLC1mj5Hd7BR.?qid=20070614035932AAjEZ8O

Tell me why any compassionate christian would be wishing for the rapture when it is obvious to every christian that billions of people will not be saved.

Why do so many christians hate humanity enough to wish billions of humans into hell as soon as possible?

Could it be the result of a bitterness that results from being laughed at day in and day out for believing in a fairy tale they simply cannot prove.

Do these christians go home after a hard day of converting people to wrap themselves around Revelations and nurse their ego with reminders that they will get the "last laugh"?
