Simply spiritual death, or eternal punishment? I am an atheist, agnostic in theory. However, I like to study these sort of things. Let this be a sort of experiment, and we'll see what sort of result we can draw from the answers.

Story of Matthew Maury using the Bible as a guide to discover ocean currents. In a nutshell, the US Naval Institute would not only publish the story if untrue in 1929, but then puts the quote of the entire verse of Ps 8:8 "Paths of the seas" on his monument. What did the US Naval academy know that modern skeptics don't know that would lead them to do this? The book also references an earlier newspaper story that says the same thing. But the evidence gets even more powerful, given the fact that the State of Virginia built a monument to Maury at Goshen Pass in 1923 and put this inscription on it: "HIS INSPIRATION HOLY WRIT Psalms 8 and 107, Verses 8, 23 and 24 Ecclesiastes Chap. 1, Verse 8http://www.bible.ca/tracks/matthew-fontaine-maury-pathfinder-of-sea-ps8.htm

what kind of god would he be if babies went to hell?!?!? the whole reason he died for us was to suffer for our sins so we can have the gift of repentance....so why would babies be born with sin?? ridiculous! its a complete contradiction.

MARRIAGE for some, the word evokes pleasant thoughts. For others, it elicits heartache. "I feel emotionally divorced," laments one wife. "I feel neglected and lonely all the time."

Can God's Word truly help?

Most of us Atheists take your "God bless you" quite nonchalantly.

You're not playing even.

Lets make all religions on the planet be nonviolent and have governments enforce the policy (without violence) espeialy those whose governments declare a religious state for their country. Then lets force all governments to be non violent and free to believe whatever they want as long as they don't harm other human beings because it is a part of their beliefs. Sound Good?

The Bible revealed that the earth is round. Job 26:10, Prov 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, Amos 9:6. people of the fifteenth century who feared sailing because they thought they would fall over the edge of the flat earth. Yet the Bible revealed the truth in 1000 B.C. 2500 years before man discovered it for himself!
Well?

Y!A member The Reverend Soleil wrote in answer to another question:

"Statistically, about 44% of Americans are absolutely or "very" confident that Jesus will return and the world will end within the next 50 years -- not exactly conducive to building a sustainable system of economics or government, when almost half the population is planning on (or even looking FORWARD to) Armageddon..."

As is generally known by Americans, George W. Bush is a Christian. Any fool knows that Earth's supply of oil is not limitless and could be used up in a very relatively short amount of time. Realizing this, you would think that a President would make research and implementation of alternative energy sources a major priority, but this is not the case with Bush. He insists on maintaining the war in the Middle East and many believe that it is now for the sake of ensuring our oil supply.

All of this may seem to suggest that George W. Bush's ultimate intent may be to bring about Armageddon. Any thoughts?

Lets say when he gathers the kingdoms of the world to come against his chosen people Israel. How does Satan acomoplish this. How does he work through humanity like he does with the fruits of his spirit which is destruction? How does he influence and minipulate people into doing his will withought them even being aware? Is it by his powers and the spirit of sin that has enterd into mans soul at the fall of humanity. Can and does Satan work through groups of people like he works through evil dictators such as Hitler or Sadam.
christ has set man free from bondage by the power of his Holy Spirit. Are those who haven't recieived the spirit still in bondage performing the devils will? Or are all of us under this curse of lawlessness / sin just that as Christians we realize the fruit of the spirit and consequences of his influence in our lifes. Thus we confess with our mouths and acknowledge our sins and fight against this spirit which tries to bind us and place us back into bondage and sla
