I have had 2 abortions in my lifetime and i sometimes wonder if there is a biblical scripture that says if the aborted fetuses go back to heaven into Gods hands. I am just sitting thinking about what i did and feeling somewhat regretful.

it says in the bible that jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead? does this mean that he will judge everyone that has ever die? if so, will he be judging people differently who lived pre-new testament days than those who lived after jesus' birth?

I have recently talked to some high school girls and only one out of the twelve was a virgin. I want to know what has happened with morals these days, I get along well with them and they are cool, but I just don't understand why sex has to enter the picture BEFORE marriage.
One good thing I think that would come of this is that STDs would (eventually) go away- at least in the US where there is more control than third world countries.

the one that will send you straight to hell?

What I want to say is that there are some preachers that makes you scare to death! like if he was an angry man is only looking at your failures to punish you. I agree that we have to fear him (in order to follow his commandments and respect him as he is to be respected) but not in a so scary way. People should teach/preach about God in a peaceful tone, lovely speaking, encouraging people to go to him! Not with the purpose of making you feel that you are lost or something. He is love, nothing to fear about, he will always be there for all of us and he loves us because we are his children and we are given rules to follow that we all as sinners that we are sometimes do not follow as well as it is supposed to be.... he knows that we are not perfect and we have the opportunity to repent as long as we do it truly from heart and with humility and never is too late.

Do you agree that God shouldn't be preached in a meanful / scary way?

Why would God give you so many religions to choose from, having only 1 be right? That's like being put in a room, with hundreds of doors, having to choose one, but only one leads to heaven. I pray a lot, and thank God for everything, practically everyday, and some people say that's not good enough. Does anyone agree??

Another thing I'm wondering...most of the Christians I have met have been rude, stuck up, and think that just because they are Christians means they can do whatever they want, and still go to heaven. My friend, who was totally normal and nice just started going to church a couple of days ago, and now is going around saying "The only way to go to heaven is by being saved; by accepting Jesus as your savior" with such certainty, it scares me. Why do they think this? how do you ACTUALLY become 'saved'? I mean, does this make ANYence?? does anyone else not get this????

This an answer by one person called Sahar for a question Did Prophet knew about India
Narrated Thuban: Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) has said: Hell fire will not touch the one who fight against India and the one (who fight against Anti-Christ) in companionship with Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) (Masnad Shamin-1851, Ahmad-642, Nisai-426, Abu Uruba AlHarani-2102, Bukhari Tarikh AlKabir-726, Ibne Adi-5832, Ibne Asakar-110015).
And a similar hadith narrated in Sunnan Nisai AlKubra-4382 and Masnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal-7128. Narrated Abu Huraira: Apostle of Allah informed for fighting against India and I will be present (on the occasion) I will join it myself and with my property, if I will be killed I will be among high grade martyrs and I will return (living) I will be called free Abu Huraira.

If the above mentioned is correct (I think it is because no Muslim has condemned it) then How the Muslims can ever make India as their Home?

For example, if God is "the prime mover" doesn't that mean that everything that happens and exists is so because of God?

Once I heard the definition of "responsibility" is based on the "ability to respond." If God is all-powerful, doesn't that imply that God is able to repsond to all things?

Here are a few interesting examples that people usually don't think about:

* God allows the torment of Job. God shouldn't have anything to prove to Satan, but he lets Satan torture a good person anyway. For what? All-powerful implies no need for more of anything.

* God throws Satan to Earth to rule Earth. Who is responsible for Satan's rule over Earth? Did it ever need to happen? Could it be stopped at any moment? Why not now?

Don't get me wrong. I don't feel particularly angry or sad about this, but I am curious about God's motives and accountability. Who keeps track of God's sins?

Why do you crowd the religion forum? This forum is used so people can have a deeper view on their beliefs. They can seek advice from those wiser then themselves, yet so many atheists come here just to trample on mine and other Yahoo member's faiths. Please don't misunderstand me, atheists here to learn more about Christ and how to be happy have every right to be here, but the fools who keep insulting other members religions should leave.

my fiance and i are wiccan and we are getting married next july. we are having a wiccan ceremony. my fiance's cousin is devout lutheran. a little background first. before the cousin got married, her mother in law would not allow the marriage unless she (the cousin) agreed not to let their future kids celebrate halloween. so, with that in mind, do we need to tell the cousin upfront that we are having a wiccan ceremony or not. if so, how? fyi, we were also told that she would not attend if there wasnt going to be a minister present (which there is).

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
Romans 1:20

NO ONE is going to be able to stand before the judgment seat of God and say with any degree of validity, "I didn't know there was a god!"

God has revealed Himself through His VERY creations to ALL men who would acknowledge.
