I have to interview Jezebel and the whole point of the project is to prove that humans deserve eternal life. Do you have any points that I could bring up or arguments for jezebel that would prove that we should have a chance at eternal life?

With all the confusion about religion today, do you see religion as sometimes being a big mess to wade through in order to find the truth? Don't you just wish we could get back to the way Jesus worshiped? To a way that God would find pleasing? Have you ever walked in a church and found "dead religion"? What do you say, Christian?

I was watching a short video clip and it just dawn on me a concept that somehow set my mind into a state of unrest but at the same time it tranquillised me. The thought went more or less like this: I've been worried about material things, human creations of all kinds, I mean human art, cultural products, everything. It's not that I've been worried all the time about this but I always valued those kind of things and deeply regretted their disappearance out of decay, demolition by stupid fanatics, etc. Now, when you think of it all, everything that is, was and will be already existed and will exist in the prototype of creation so nothing is really lost. Everything is rebuilt, we start all over again, or least we have the chance to. So no material thing is that important, actually. It is us who evolve, who are constantly changing and things just accompany us on our journey during our material lives. I don't know if I've made myself clear enough, please tell me if I haven't. Am I right?

What do you call an athiest who has been baptized as an infant and does not believe in Jesus. "A born again athiest."

...say, you know, two people having sex out of wedlock...but how do "they" feel about a woman who's given up on finding Mr. Right, and gets artificially inseminated?

I'm not personally in that situation, I've just always wondered.

Contrast the following...

"Hope so" salvation:

Romans 8:23-25 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society


23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

"Know so" salvation:

1 John 5:13 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society


13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

I have a serious question about the story of Noah's ark.

See i live near a freshwater lake, and i know that freshwater fish cannot survive in saltwater at all.

if the world flooded as described by the holy bible and the story of Noah's Ark, how then did Noah save the lives of all the freshwater fish? If the world had a global flood all of the salt would mix into lakes and rivers and wipe out all of the fish. Wouldn't they all go extinct?

If not, I would like to be the first to propose the notion that there is no God based on this lack of simple evidence.

Some Christians call it "bashing" Christian dogma, but should we leave them to believe things like Exodus 35:2...........WHOEVER DOES ANY WORK ON (THE SABBATH) MUST BE PUT TO DEATH. Or should we remind them that they are taking a hypocritical approach to the Commandments if they ignore "Thou Shalt Not Kill (Murder), and kill in war, execute criminals, keep a gun in the house to kill burglars (murder if the criminal only intended to rob).
I am not judging whether killing is right or wrong, just pointing out that Christians who claim the Bible is right should be following what they preach, not being mass hypocrites.

I'm angry God is allowing me to go through this. I am financially ruined, divorcing, reputation ruined, I feel like I am fighting for my sanity. I am having a mental breakdown. People seem to use me and use things against me. It just seems like from all areas of my life, I am going through. People at my church are judging me. I am struggling with trying to cope with everyday people. I am serious when I say that I sense the standoffish behavior of people when I go out of my way to be nice and present a positive attitude. Is God testing me or am I just paying for things in my past? I repented and gave my life back to God and since then things have gotten worse, not better. Im praying every chance I get but I still am experiencing anger and rage in my heart. What do I do?

I have a question about people who believe we need works for our salvation. The way I have always seen it is this. Christ paid the price for us. The price was so great there was no way we could afford it. Imagine the price as a pile of coins. The pile of coins would be bigger than the Earth. If we try to add to this by our works it is like flipping 1 penny onto the pile. It makes no difference. Our works can never be even close to enough. They do not even make the smallest dent in the debt we owed. Do you agree?

Please do not quote me verses from James. I know what he has to say. I do not deny we will have works. I just disagree with works saving us.

I have a serious creationism vs. evolution question. I've only seen one partial answer to this on the Yahoo questions site.
I have no argument with the belief that God Himself designed human beings - let's accept that as a given, for this question.
My question is: why couldn't God have used evolution as the tool to achieve this result?
The only answer I've seen to that is the time - according to Genesis, God created humans in less than a week, instead of billions of years.
Is the Genesis timetable indeed the reason evolution is decried? I'd appreciate responses from some thoughtful, devout, believers.

I think family and friends (or even aquaintances), are what makes life worth the effort.

Someone once said that "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians,,,,, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

Do you agree/disagree and why?

Every day? Every week? Every month? Or only when you feel like, and then you just pick it up and open it randomly? Only in the church?

Do you search for what you want or you read only what the pastor tells you to read?

athiest are always saying Christians are unloving, but for the real Christian we just want you to know there is a God and we dont want you to go to hell.I Do apologize for the ones who tell people that they are going to hell, but I WILL TELL YOUTHIS, if you dont repent ,you will go to hell ,sorry if this hurts anyones feelings ,but it is the truth.And YES SOME of us get a little over zealous and say things the wrong way ,but you cant blame them for trying to tell you what they know is true. BUT you athiest cant talk ,YOU MOCK GOD with every breath.At least the Christians are trying to help you. What is your reason for being so mean to us and MOST IMPORTANT......to GOD?
