My mother had a pulmonary embolism and died for a few minutes. She was recessitated, but layed in a coma for 2 weeks. What happened to her soul?? Was her soul intact in heaven or was she in limbo of some sort, because she suffered parts of her brain being dead?

...how come is he not able to change the destiny of being crucified, knowing well that if the Romans manage to crucify him, then the charges the Pharisees and the Rabbis level against him that he is a false prophet is true then? Do you think it is enjoyable being crucified?

Even if he is not able to prevent being crucified, surely he can make God forgive Adam's sin for eating the apple, so that Christ himself doesn't need to be the crucified victim? And Christ must be able to do this, cos isn't he the Son of God and God at the same time? Or is Christ unable to, cos he is not as powerful as God the Father? This is confusing...

When food, fuel, power are scarce and expensive. When the sea water will rise between 7 to 43 meter. When hurricane, tornadoes, flood and drought will increase in intensity and reduce our habitat and food supply to a dangerous level. When population increase to 9 Billion. What do we need to do? and Would we able to do something about it or it is no longer humanly possible to correct? Read Luke 21 about the sign of the coming of the Creator for Overhaul job of the earth.

Why do religious people have to make us atheists feel bad about our selves? Isn’t religion supposed to be about good morals? I feel that no religious person I’ve met has better moral than I do. It’s really sad the way you people treat us. I, as an atheist live and let live. I do not care if you want to go to church every Sunday morning. I do not care if you spend most of your life worshiping something you can not see, hear, or sense at all. So my question is, why do you people give us atheists such a hard time?

This is really getting ridiculous. I feel we are heading in the direction of what the Jews went threw. In school, I used to be bullied because of what I didn’t believe in. Please, stop acting like you people are in charge of everyone ones lives. It’s not fair, and if you was as kind hearted as you say you are, you would realize that.

most of you have sinned more than any christian should have. The only reason you think it's ok, is because you believe in god give me a break

In Acts 10:34-43, we read the Apostles Peter’s sermon that brought instant salvation to people who “received the word of God” (Acts 11:1). How much “accurate knowledge” did Cornelius and others have to take in to become Christians? .

. Did they have to submit to a 6 month book study, then join an organization before they were “saved” (Acts 11:14)?

...that the punishment for a false prophet is to be crucified? If Christ was really crucified, does that make him false too, as what the Jews say he is? Do you think that Jesus the Son of God know about this verse in the Old Testament. Or was this verse nullified, yet who nullified it? Paul perhaps, cos he did nullify a lot of the things that were practised by the Jews.

Many Christian groups rightly say that water baptism is not required for salvation, but they then qualify it so strongly as to, I think, invalidate their first assertion. For example, I like what Hank Hanegraaff says, "The most critical mistake one can make with regard to baptism is to believe that it is necessary for salvation." But then he qualifies that with, ".....baptism is a necessary threshold each of us must cross into a life of fruitful service unto God." This makes no sense to me. I believe a person can live an authentic and fruitful Christian life without being physically baptized in water. I've been a Christian for 30 years, and I was a more faithful and fruitful Christian for many years prior to my baptism. I hoped being baptized would help me strengthen and grow my faith, but I experienced no spiritual gain from my baptism over 2 years ago. Why would God command us to do rituals that are of no benefit? Or maybe Christians interpret the bible wrong in this area?

Why not? How come? Surely the apostles know Christ best, don't they? Do they know that the one put on the cross was the God and Son of God defeated by the Romans?

James 1:22

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."

James 1:26-27

"If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

As I said before, religion is nothing without LOVE! Would you simply love?

Have you ever had a bad day and said something that you shouldn't have? I am sorry for what I said the other day. Please forgive me. I will come back on every now and then but I will try not too be on too much, only if I feel lead by the Lord.
I am sorry if I had offended anyone one on here and I will ask the Lord for more wisdom as I proceed to answer anymore questions that you may have about Jesus. If anyone is offended by name on this, please don't be...I chose this name only because I love Jesus very much.

Why does there seem to be a contradiction between verses 18 and 23?

Galatians 5:18 But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Contentions, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

There are numerous examples, and there are at least two cases:

1) Complexity emerging spontaneously from physical law. An example is the snowflake, where the beauty, symmetry, and uniqueness of each snowflake come from an interaction between the way water molecules stack into crystals, and the way vibrations propagate in crystals.

2) Complexity emerging from randomness by natural selection. In this case, lots of random things happen, but some process chooses some over others, and the chosen ones tend to persiste. One example is the near-circularity of the planets remaining in the Solar System, and their spacing. Another is the evolution of species from other species.

In the scientific view of the universe, complexity arising naturally out of simpler predecessors is central to understanding why things are the way they are. The realization that this is possible is fairly recent---only within the past few hundred years. And perhaps this idea is not yet widely understood.

At church yesterday (My wife is a Christian), one of the songs played by the church band said that God controls the path of every lightning bolt. Christians, do you think this is true? If so, what do you think it means when a lightning bolt strikes a person causing them death or serious injury? Wouldn’t that mean that God killed the person? If you do not agree with the lyrics of the song, do you think God can intervene to prevent a lightning bolt from hitting someone if he wants to?

Why did God create us? The answer that the bible seems to provide is: for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11) (Colossians 1:16)

According to Matthew's Gospel, the very essence of the Law and the Prophets is to love God and to love others (Matthew 7:12), so loving God is essential to being a Christian.

There are so many of us who use the freedom of choice that He knew, being the omnipotent being He is (Matthew 19:26), would lead us to choose a path that excluded Him. He knows and says that many of us will go to Hell and few will make it to Heaven (Matt.7:13-14) How can I love someone that says He Loves me, but has chosen not to allow me to live forever with Him in Heaven, but has created an environment where I can possibly go to hell? Why doesn’t God just bypass the suffering and create our soul with him in heaven where of course there is only joy?

How can I love someone who has made me and placed me here to struggle and suffer through life for His pleasure?

I have never been a religious person but have been feeling a pull to become so. I realize I can’t handle all life's challenges on my own and have been told all you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your life and be your savior. I have done this numerous times but I am not getting anywhere. I don’t except for my life to change at the snap of a finger but, I just don’t feel like I am getting anywhere. What can I do? I need some support and "help". I want to know he is with me and I am not alone trying to get through it all on my own. I just don’t know what else to do, as far as how to ask. One more thing and this is a stupid question I know; I hear people say they have found Jesus and/or found god. Is their a difference? I thought God was Jesus’ father. Dumb I know but I have just obviously had very little exposure to formal religion. Bare with me, I am trying.
