did God ever say that all are welcome in heaven? no. just those who love him,accept him and obey him. i will not lighten up and preach only the "love" gospel. there has to be accountability as well. non believers need to get off the "love" abusing. they overuse that word and they do not even believe in God

I am a bisexual.
I have a girlfriend whom I love very much.
My mother is a lesbian.
We have been serving the lord since we were born.
No matter what anyone says, I cannot deny the feeling that I have towards women.
I can't help feeling this way yet people say that I cannot get into heaven.
I want to go to heaven but I keep thinking I cant if I feel this way.
So if I cant help it...God must want me to go to hell?

The father of the HOLOCAUST in Germany :::

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?---Martin Luther (Germany)

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

“I hope I shall never be so stupid as to be circumcised; I would rather cut off the left breast of my Catherine and of all women.” --- Martin Luther

“If we are to remain unsullied by the blasphemy of the Jews and not wish to take part in it, we must be separated from them and they must be driven out of the country.” – Martin Luther

Jesus did not call them Abraham's children, but a "brood of vipers" [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, "He has a demon' [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: "If you were Abraham's children ye would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.------Martin Luther

Learn from this, dear Christian, what you are doing if you permit the blind Jews to mislead you. Then the saying will truly apply, "When a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit" [cf. Luke 6:39]. You cannot learn anything from them except how to misunderstand the divine commandments...------Martin Luther

St. John Chrysostom: “I know that many people hold a high regard for the Jews and consider their way of life worthy of respect at the present time... This is why I am hurrying to pull up this fatal notion by the roots ... A place where a whore stands on display is a whorehouse. What is more, the synagogue is not only a whorehouse and a theater; it is also a den of thieves and a haunt of wild animals ... not the cave of a wild animal merely, but of an unclean wild animal ... When animals are unfit for work, they are marked for slaughter, and this is the very thing which the Jews have experienced. By making themselves unfit for work, they have become ready for slaughter. This is why Christ said: “as for my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me’ (Luke 19.27).”



///

Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.---------Martin Luther


Moreover, they are nothing but thieves and robbers who daily eat no morsel and wear no thread of clothing which they have not stolen and pilfered from us by means of their accursed usury. Thus they live from day to day, together with wife and child, by theft and robbery, as arch-thieves and robbers, in the most impenitent security.
--------Martin Luther


However, they have not acquired a perfect mastery of the art of lying; they lie so clumsily and ineptly that anyone who is just a little observant can easily detect it.

But for us Christians they stand as a terrifying example of God's wrath.-----Martin Luther


...but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!-------Martin Luther


However, we must avoid confirming them in their wanton lying, slandering, cursing, and defaming. Nor dare we make ourselves partners in their devilish ranting and raving by shielding and protecting them, by giving them food, drink, and shelter, or by other neighborly acts..------Martin Luther



If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews' blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.-----Martin Luther


They [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did...

If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs.----Martin Luther


Martin Luther: [ in his last sermon, four days before he died, ] called for practical measures: burn their synagogues, confiscate all books in Hebrew, prohibit Jewish prayers, force them to do manual labour, and drive them out of Germany.

I'm not gay but why do they care about other people being gay. Is it really affecting them? Why can't they just get over the fact that some boys do boys and some girls do girls? It happens! Trying to take away their rights isn't going to stop them from "fornicating".

Why do they think that the whole world should be Christian?

Do you know any verse in the bible that shows Jesus making a big difference in the lives of others (maybe the Apostles, disciples, one of Jesus' disciples, or maybe even a Jew?)

if god is all loving, all caring, why in the heck is my life so rubbish?? I mean come on, i got the lowest possible amount of grades in secondary "high" school......get nothing but stick off people...i feel stupid.....and no before you ask i don't have low self-esteem. i had jobs and apartments and i lost them all through other peoples faults. i haven't enough money to start a career, in order to do that i need a job (which i can't get) to save money!! i also have a disastrous love life and no girl will go near me at all (apparently i'm not ANYONES type) and all attentions are focused on my other friends instead.......

if god really cared for me he would catch me a break right now....i am a good person, all i want is a happy, eventful life!!

I'm not an avid church-go-er but my best friends family are quite religious to the point of "a ned flanders family" and seem to get all the best things in life handed to them.

clearly god hates me......

Whenever I drop by this section, I find at least one question that's like "atheists, where do you think you came from?" or "Christians, how do you explain this flaw in the Bible?"
Isn't there any way to end this fight and come up with a conclusion?

Quote in regards to atheists and theists from the article:

"Really, the only obvious position is to say: We don’t know, we need to be persuaded one way or the other. The default position in other words is: not being sure. "

Let me say first that I am not a big Harry Potter fan.

From what I see though, kids LOVE it. So my question is, why would you deprive your child of reading something that they will enjoy? Fantasy is wonderful for a child's mind, for their imagination and creativity. What is so evil about it?

You can tell your child about burning in hell for eternity with the devil. You can tell them about Jesus being nailed to a cross. If they can handle that then why can't they handle a great children's book?

Don't you think that that's going a little to far? It's one thing not letting them watch MTV. I'm no where near religious and I refuse to get cable because I don't want my son watching MTV or a number of other channels and shows on television.

I'm just wondering, what harm will Harry Potter do to your child?

The best thing that your child can do is read. Jesus isn't going to make them smart and get them good grades, even though I bet you think that.
