by this I mean if they die before they are born(you know still in the womb) or if they are born but die before they are babtised. Ive been told that the whole point of being babtised is to be relieved of the original sin. but then isnt that unfair? that they're going to hell cause that dumb B!TC# Eve ate that apple among other things...?

I am compiling a list of questions I hope to get answered from various faiths. I would like to send these questions to a representative of each faith who is very knowledgeable in their doctrine so I can get accurate answers. Thank you for your help.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

( Matthew 7:21-23)"

so it's all about following God (which you call the father), so it's all about worshiping God not Jesus.

I know I am generalizing, but I find most christians have an almost innate fear of death and dying.

The only thing that seems to get them through this thought, is that they "believe" or "feel" that they are immortal, and will have life everlasting in heaven.

Why is this belief necessary to help them? Are they incapable of accepting death, for what it is?

When our brain shuts off, isn't that when the rest of our world around us ceases to exist? I do it every night. And wake up the next morning. Don't you?

many christian i encounter tell me that other religion are worshipping demons.

many are fast to say that demon have many power and he is lying to those people so they can go hell.

now , how could i know that demon is using god name to blind everone , then appearing in 'holy' forms to trick everyone ?

considering if the bible is true , there are 1/3 of angels that are fallen and 1/3 of religions are christians...

so anyway , since some tell me demon can foretell the future and have tremendous power too , how do i know demon is not fabricating and designing the whole lie to get people thinking he is the god in the bible ?

For instance if a child were raised by wolves, like mogli in Kipling’s jungle book, do you think they would they naturally have some concept of God or not?

I want to know how can u guys define sinning against the spirit. If somebody says that Jesus Christ is not God,has he committed sinning against the spirit?
How can u avoid sinning in our mind.It is easier to control our actions not to sin than ur mind.Even if u r thinking or planning about doing that sin in our mind,but a lot of times there will be stuff popping up in our mind ,just beacause our human brain is functioning, but sometimes these stuff can be sins.....

Granted it may be just to CRITICISE what we have to say, but still. If you want nothing to do with Christianity, then why do you read the "Religion and Spirituality" section of answers?

I read the Quran[Koran. It requires separation of
the sexes, restricts women's actions, limits
the use of the right and left hand,
demands praying x times a day, demands one
wears specific clothes, and keeps on demanding.

IT also states literally, that all those who
don't believe in it must be eliminated as infidels.

I see no relationship between love-and
tolerance and equality and the teachings
of the Quran.

I have asked this of hundreds of people and
they all tell me I have misunderstood their
book. When I point out specific entries, they
say "We do not interpret it as you do."

or "Mohammad is always right so that we must
treat infidels, women and whatnot as the
Koran says too."

This is very confusing.

Either the book says to kill infidels or it does not.

Either it directs the use of each hand or it does not.

Either it restricts women's freedoms or it does not.

IF it in fact, does restrict and limit, etc.,
is that fair [for women or men]?
