doesn't that mean catholicism is not the true religion? The pope is obviously ignoring the bible.

The dictionary says "good" is to be "morally excellent." Let s look at God s moral standard the Ten Commandments, and see how we do. Is God first in your life? Do you love Him with "heart, mind, soul and strength?" Have you made a god to suit yourself? Have you used His name in vain? Have you always honored your parents? Have you looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart? Have you lied (including "fibs"), stolen (the value is irrelevant), or coveted other people s possessions? If you are honest, you know you will be guilty on the Day of Judgment. God, however, doesn t want to send you to Hell. Jesus Christ suffered and died on the Cross, so you could go free. That s how much God loves you. We broke God s Law, but Jesus took our punishment and died on the cross. He then rose from the grave defeating death. If you repent (turn away from all the things you know are wrong) and trust in Him, God will forgive your sins and grant you everlasting life. Begin by reading your Bible daily and then obey what you read. God will never let you down.

From what I read in the Bible, this world is a 'vale of tears', punishment for Adam & Eve's sin. The ultimate goal of life is to go to heaven in the afterlife and nothing else matters.

So, shouldn't Christians rejoice at the thought of death? If suicide wasn't a sin, wouldn't you believers WANT to joyously fling yourselves from the nearest tall building, knowing you're just a heartbeat away from an eternal Cosmic Disneyland that is infinitely better than your earthly existence? Aren't martyrdom and terminal illnesses good because they reunite you with Jesus? Isn't abortion a good thing because fetuses get an automatic trip to heaven?

Most Christians I know cling just as stubbornly to life as any atheist. The only half-decent excuse I've heard is that they'd miss their family and friends. But what if you're over the age of 50 or so and most of your family and friends are presumably in heaven waiting to see you?

He cannot.....because he is not a mortal (i.e Human). I'll put this in layman's terms instead of siting scripture (scriptures tend to get twisted like a twizzler in this forum): have you ever heard the saying "to err is human". Well, God is not human.
Thanks

Christians claim God didn't murder anyone, he just *killed* them.

If he murdered them he would be by far the biggest sinner that ever existed. But apparently he hasn't *murdered* anyone, he only *killed* them which I guess is totally OK.

But are Christians just desperately playing word games and semantics to get around the fact that God is biggest murderer in the history of eternity (If the bible is true like they say)?

The Bible says we are to rejoice with one another, so will you have a little celebration with me? I was just hired from a temp position to a "real" position after 2 years working a variety of temp jobs. Praise the Lord!

And why didn't Jesus send his kids to school? They were old enough. Didn't Mary file a paternity suit?

There is this sexy, quiet, and cool guy at my school. He's really popular with the girls and a lot of guys at my school are nice to him or hate him. He's a professional model, has a nice car, and comes from a lot of money. His mom used to model and is now a trophy wife while his dad is a business man. I fell in love with him the first time that I saw him which was 3 years ago. I've seen many good looking guys but this guy is truly beautiful. Yesterday he actually came up to me and asked for one of my ribbons that held up my pigtails. I gave it to him and he wrapped it around his wrist, bent over to my ear, and whispered " I'd like to have sex with you." OMG what am I supposed to do? I'm a good girl which also means I'm still a virgin. My parents are really strict I'm not allowed to date until I'm 18 and I'm 17. Every girl at my school wants to be with him so why did he pick me a shy, quiet, good girl? I'm not ugly or anything it's just that I'm so innocent. Should I let him be my 1st?

This has really been bothering me! Cain killed Abel in the bible. God gives a mark to Cain and told him that anyone who kills Cain will receive a punishment sevenfold! Does that mean, if god takes away Cain's life naturally, that gold will receive the punishment, or is god excluded from this punishment? Thanks for answering!
