This year I am a senior and I am feeling every bit of it.
I'm changing dramatically and I have never had so many deadlines in my life. My faith is the type that I know that I'm gonna make it but I need help having faith and courage on the path to God's plan for me. Any scriptures or words of advice?

I've wondered this for years. If Christians say there is only one god, and you need to be saved and baptized in order to go to heaven, then do they believe every other religion is wrong and bound for hell? Even the native americans who respected the land, do Christians think they did not make it to heaven?

I know, strange sounding question. But in my years in the Neopagan community, I have noticed that, not only are there many different Pagan paths, there are many different reasons and motivations people have for becoming Pagan. That having been said, I've noticed that some Pagans assume that all other Pagans practice, believe, and were drawn to the path in the same exact way. I've also noticed, especially with newer Pagans, an ignorance of the history of the movement.

So, my fellow Pagans, what are the most common misconceptions about Paganism that you have heard *from other Pagans*?

I got a couple answers on my last question that led me to this. This is specifically for those who believe once saved always saved. If someone claims to have been saved in the past and yet they now live like the most vile sinner. They do not go to church, don't pray, curse God's name. You know what I mean. They have turned their back on God. Would you say they are still saved? Or would you say they were never saved in the first place?

Seventh-day Adventist Christians among many other Christians strongly believe that Christ died for the sins of the world. Paul describes the experience of Christ in these words, "Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
-----Philippians 2:6-8
Can you grasp it? Imagine!

Ellen White(Author) commented:

" The spotless son of God hung upon the Cross. His flesh, lacerated with stripes. Those hands, so often reached out in blessing, nailed to wooden bars. Those feet, so tireless on ministries of love, spiked to a tree. That royal head, pierced by the crown of thorns. Those quivering lips shaped in a cry of woe. And all that he endured; the blood drops that flowed...
--Desire of ages pg. 755

Have you heard this story?

MIAMI -- When one of his parishioners fell ill, the former pastor of St. Kevin's Catholic Church in Miami didn't hesitate to lend a hand; he gave his kidney. In the past 16 years, Margarita Chavez has had three kidney transplants. Her latest was on Wednesday. The donor was the Rev. Alfred Cioffi. "I figured, I have two kidneys. I don't need two kidneys, so I could give her one," said Cioffi. "There are no words to understand what's going on here. I'm full of gratitude to him," said Chavez. Chavez and Cioffi met while he was a priest at St. Kevin's in Miami 15 years ago.

I wonder: All you people who say bad things about Catholic priests: When was the last time you donated a kidney to someone in need?

If he paid the price for all of us, why not just let us all into heaven? If I had a debt, say of 200 dollars, and someone gave that money to the bank in my name, I don't need to "accept" that, do I? Doesn't it just automatically pay off the debts?

Technically, wouldn't you still be guilty of taking the Lord's name in vain, since this is a thinly veiled and hypocritical attempt to swear using the Lord's name without saying it precisely?

Why not? the way i see religion is that you follow a set of codes that arent that extremely hard to follow, you go to church or a mosque for once a week for example and your done. All you have to do is believe. Lets just say that there is no God. So what? You spent your life believing and your going to be dead anyways. But if there is a God, like I believe, then youre saved for eternity. Although i believe truly in my heart that there is a God, why not believe? Whats the worse that can happen
