I believe that when you die your soul cannot live without a body so your soul dies also. Your body is buried, where your soul is really in like a deep slumber state until the second coming as it states in several verses but I'll use 1 Thessalonians 4:16>>For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arch-angel, and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17>>Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

It's what I believe....what do you believe????

people with knowledge, please explains to me this verse of which God explained that he pulled out all of our off spring from Adam, and witnessed us that he is our God.

[172] And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we have been unaware of this."
Quran 7:172

so those offspring (us) already testified to God that he is God before we even come to birth, does that mean that this life is a 2nd chance for us? does that means we had another life before we came to life?

I'm not religous at all and neither is my husband. I'm baptized Catholic and my husband hasn't been baptized. I know it's very important to my grandmother that my daughter gets baptized. She's 5 already, so I want to do it now. I'm just not sure how to go about doing so. I don't belong to a church. Any advice or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

For far to long the so called “scientific community” has been pushing round earth theory to our children for far too long with out giving the other side a chance to speak.

As such I propose that round earth and flat earth should be given equal time in the classroom.

Reasons for a flat earth: http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm

So what say you?

4 months ago, she was prescribed something different for an infection, but the doctor didn't tell her that it would make her birth control ineffective. She went to a clinic thatsays it doesabortions. For three months they made her comeback twice a week while they hemmed andhawed about whether she shouldhave an abortion that she wanted Then they said she had only 3 days to get the proceedure done and they couldn't fit her in for another 3 weeks. So, now she is carrying a baby who is going to be born with major birth defects. Do you think she should sue the clinic directors for not telling her they would deny her an abortion, and for the major bills she has to encur to have and raise the baby?

Can you forgive anybody for anything that was a sin? If so please explain and if not explain. If so give a biblical example.

I have two, Jesus prayed for everyone that was crucifying him right before he died. He wanted God to even forgive those that were mocking, beating, and killing him

My second is, Sodom and Gomorah and their surrounding cities were destroyed by two angels because of their sin. God didn't give them any more time than the time they had before he killed them all, along with Lots wife for looking back.

So what do you think, and thanks for the answers.

I am agnostic and have no ties to organized religon nor am an athist witch is a religon all its own. But it seems to me that fewer and fewer people are becoming "NON RELIGOUS" more and more people simply dont care. I belive in freedom of religion and i in no way want to offend any religion I say more power to you and you're god! I say this because many people mistake me for an athiest. I think athiest fear that got is real and go on a crusade to disprove it, "to me that is a religion" Anyway I see fewer children of the religious continuing their parents tradition. the repercusions of this are not part of the question, Im just currious if thats just in my part of the country or have others seen the same happening

i do it because to me, it's a physical representation of the interconnectedness of the universe and everything within it.

i'm not (really) pagan or anything. i just think the changing of the seasons is proof of how everything is connected (cause ya know, without the sun and the rotation of the earth and all, we wouldn't have seasons)

oh, and cause it's just a reminder of the crazy beauty of this world and how lucky i am to be in it :)

We believe in the Jesus Christ of the Bible. We believe he is the Only begotten Son of God the Father. We believe We can only be saved through his infinite Atonement. we beleive that if we really love him we will keep his commandments... We believe he is the Light, the truth and the way. He is the cornoerstone of our religion.

All of our beliefs are only apendages to the Saviors birth, life, death and ressurection.

Why do so many people think we are not Christian?

My friend did a project on this religion a couple years back and he's not around this summer to ask which it was. Problem is I can hardly remember anyhing about it either.

It was mostly just a 'spoof' religion. Fake maps, bogus drawings, saying that humor was a big part of everything. There was a website that we were on about it at one time. Just looking for a couple names that yous might know. Thanks :)

I don't understand. They don't look like anyone I've seen from the middle east. I thought they were of the seed of Abraham like it says in the Bible and originally from the land of Israel. Shouldn't they look something like the other people from that region of the middle east?

have you ever pondered that maybe some homosexuals didn't really choose to be gay?

most christians say that they have considered the evidence and observed homosexuals enough to say for certain that homosexuals choose to be gay

any homosexual will tell you that they know they didn't "choose" to be gay just like we don't choose to be straight.

you would think that people who are actually gay would be a better judge on how they aquired their homosexuality than people who aren't gay.
why can't you take them for their word when they tell u that they felt it just as naturally as it felt to you when you blossomed into heterosexual love as an adolescent?

because the veracity of christianity is on the line?

There are two babies, One of them took birth in a Christian Family and another took birth in a Hindu family. So both of them grew up, learning religion along the way given by their parents, one reads the Bible, the Hindu baby reads the Bhagavad Gita and both are convinced that both are the truths, after leading long lives. A Christian dies as a Christian and the Hindu dies as a Hindu. Both of them lead good lives, performing pious activites.

So based on Christian understanding, the Christian ascends to heaven while the Hindu dwells in Hell (Forever and ever and ever).

So what did the baby do to be born into a Hindu family ??? why can't that baby take birth into a Christian family in the first place and get to read the bible and have parents who teach with regards to Jesus. So is God unfair ?? we are talking about hell forever in just one life...

I can easily refute this using Reincarnation, but it seems the concept of ONE LIVE...heaven or hell...is too childish for me.

im christian but all you lot are going on about muslims being bad!!! i dont condone terrorism i belive that is wrong and they are being mislead however least they have faith.... half the chritains i no have never been to church in fact i dont no one. like my brother hes an alcoholic as for my dad my mom doesnt belive in god im the only one that does!!! you never see a muslim girl getting pregnant before marriage do you, at the end of the day its not the religion that makes a person bad its the person!!!!! stop critercising people and start looking at your own lives becuase we have no right to judge people only god has the right to do that!!!! As for terrists its haram to kill someone the only creature that has the right to take away someones life is god. Also, it’s a sin to commit suicide.. theres wrong and right in evry religion why cant people just make peace? Why cant we stop having these wars in different countrys? We alll come from the same god so don’t you think he is going to be angry with us fighting on another!!!!!!

please tell me wot u lot think.


god bless
