somebody asked a question about why people dont except that you must accept Jesus into your life to get to heaven.

My answer is that is there belief, but not everybody, they think there way is right the others think there way is right, so who is right and who is wrong? why cant you just understand that others feel the same way you do about there beliefs? why do you keep telling them they are wrong and going to Hell? you hurt them very much, just like they hurt you very much when they put you down. you do not know for a fact your way is the one and only way. why do you keep pushing and getting so mean?

there are some nonmuslims who seem to have read quraan and hadith all by themselves, without the help of any scholar, and seemed to have understood it so well that they are now picking out lines apparently speaking of killing nonmuslims and teaching us muslims, how violent our holy book is. Is this fair? for example in quraan in ch4, there is this instruction given where ALLAH has asked us not to offer prayers if one is drunk. now anybody who reads this line without it's context details and hadith will conclude that one can drink when one is not praying, which is not the case. how can something as sacred and complicated as a holy book be read without it's context and claimed to have been understood in it's actual sense?

My fiance and I are newly saved and we are still learning and don't know a whole lot. We have made changes in our lifes that include, changing the music we listen to, the words we speak, the way we spend our time, etc. My fiance is a musician and he has previously suscribed to magazines that teach him about up and coming equipment, new ideas in the industry and what other musicians are currently doing. This is not a christian based magazine and the musicians are not producing Christian music. We have searched for a magazine with the same quality of information with a Christian message but could not find this, what are your opinions on continuing to read and take information from these magazines?

Despite all the religious zealotry that exists in this country do you think we (government, citizens, civil liberties organizations) have done a good job at keeping American society as secular as possible?
If not, want more do you think should be done to further this cause?

I'm talking about the formation of the bible in the year 500 AD.

Who gave the authority to men to decide what books should be included, and excluded, from The Holy Bible....wouldn't that make the books that were not included Unholy?

They testify of the life of Jesus...so if they said those books are unholy(or evil in some sense) wouldn't that be almost the same thing as saying the life of Jesus, through these people's eyes, is evil....in some sense of the word?

If God wanted to determine which books were Holy and which were not...wouldn't He have had the disciples write them earlier...and then have Jesus aprove of them?

I dunno...to me it just seems unfair for some guy to say "oh yeah...I like the book of John it's good....ohhhhhhh the book of Thomas? Not so good...burn it."

agree or disagree?

Atheists say we are hypocrites. Atheists are constantly judging people, especially Christians. So the atheists are the hypocrites, not the Christians. They also say that we are always quoting from the bible. Well, they are always quoting from "The God Delusion" (what irony! They are delusional!). The hypocrisy never ends with atheists. It's sad really.
Atheists are of this world and like this world, they are doomed. Christians are "in" the world, but not "of" it. We are saved. Not everyone can or will be saved, and the atheists are not going to be saved. I know I am saved.

I realize it was Muhammad that came up with this (in hadith, not Koran), but Allah gave him the right. And did this idea come to him before or after he married a little girl? Could there be a connection?

Ok atheist, you motto is “NO EVIDENCE, NO GOD”

Ok, if there is no evidence, there is no such thing as God.
But when it comes to the theory of the big bang, why do most of you believe that the universe will collapse on itself creating another universe?
There is not evidence for the contraction of our universe, IN FACT, the evidence points out that the universe will expand forever!
Ok, my question is why do you believe in theoretical science topics such as the big bang theory, string theory, etc… if there is no evidence for strings or even the contraction of our universe?
Why don’t you apply the same criteria as when you say NO evidence, no god?
Just think about it!

If there was a "scientific proof" that God existed would your whole belief towards the matter change? And if there was substantial proof who the hell would need faith.

That is, will there ever be a day when atheists rule the world?

And if so, when?

My guess - no more than 200 years

I will describe the newest encounter with this question.

First his beliefs. God is God, but not in 1 but 3. So, The father is the father, and God, but Jesus is the son, and God. Etc. He believes that Satan is not a being but someone against you. As in say, the government. He doesnt believe in hell as eternal punishment, but as a place they put garbage in the beginning. A place of eternal fire. And last, he believes that when we die, its blackness till the judgment, then no one goes to heaven or hell, we just go back to sleep.

Ok, now that thats established, heres the question.
I came up with alot of verses that stated hell as a place where you go if your not saved. Eternal separation from God because of sin. He asks, "How can a loving God send us to hell for eternal punishment?" Ive been asked this before, but I need help finding really good verses, ones that are straight to the point, no room for interpretation type.

Jesus makes clear that it will come after the gospel is preached in all of the world and not back in AD 70 as some suggest. Will it be seen from Judaea? Will it actually stand in the holy place?

Matthew 24:14-15 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
