I've heard from the Catholics that Jesus will forgive you as long as you accept him to be your saviour. (I was brought up catholic so I know this to be a catholic fact so to speak). So why do I hear other "Christians" telling women they're going to hell? Didn't we learn how to have compassion from Christ after all?

OK we don't always agree with each other but one thing I can say I sometimes get a good genuine laugh out of R & S with some funny answers. What do think?

I have seen this claimed over and over again and was curious as to whether it is a majority opinion.


If your answer is yes: How can there be a purpose of life in heaven? (assuming you can't die and go to super-heaven, and so on).

What is it that makes someone have faith in something when they have no reason to believe in it. I'm asking this from as an 18 year old male...newly agnostic... and struggling with my Christian faith...

Come on, Don't feel shy to answer. If you are either religion, don't be ashame of it.

Atheist and Buddist are not the same thing. The Buddist actually believe in a god.

That's the whole question. I find a lot fo religeous types don't, they just blindly accept whatever their bible (not THE bible, whatever the equivalent is in their own religeon) tells them to think.

So, do you think for yourself or do you blindly follow your faith (like your faith tells you to?)

When people are trying to go into ministry, how do they know that it is God's will or their want? I've been trying to apply for a job so that I can take a ministry training for campus ministry early next year. People only have once in a life time opportunity to become a staff once they graduate. Therefore, I've been looking for a job so that I can save up. I've been looking for a job for like five month now. However,it was hard for me to find a job. If I have financial struggles, does that mean God want me to give up since it might not be beneficial for me? or does that mean God want me to give up secular work and serve him? I have option of self support raising so is it his will for me to do that if finacial answer for a job is being shut down? Would it be better for to go into ministry believing in that other people would support or not do it because financially I am not stable? how does minister deal with financial problem before going into ministry?

According to the 10 commandments, a good person does not kill. Many Chrisitans kill animals. They swap flies. They eat meat.They exterminate all kinds of animals. Does that mean they are still Christian? Does this rule only apply to Humans or all of God's creatures?

"Scientists discovered “modern men” in Pliocene deposits.
Modern human skulls and bones have been discovered in Pliocene layers. These findings include those at Calaveras (1866), Castenedolo (1860, 1880), and Ipswich (1912).
Finding modern human remains in layers that are believed to be 7-12 million years old casts serious doubt on the theory of evolution regarding humans (or scientific dating methods), since that is the time Ramapithecus (a supposed ape-man) was proposed to exist. If both Ramapithecus and modern man lived at the same time, we would know that people did not evolve from this “ancestor” (or any of the “later” ones). That is, for modern man to evolve from Ramapithecus, Ramapithecus would have had to exist before modern man. The evidence does not support this idea." Please explain to me after this evidence how the theory of evolution holds water.

We all know that the earth is coming to an end with all the pollution and natural catastrophies.

We also know that there is a possiblity that humans might have to evacuate to Mars or some other planet.

If one day it is announced all over the world that humans must immediatly evacuate in a spaceship to Mars since earth is going to blow up in 5 days, would you Christians choose to
stay on earth to wait for Jesus for another 5 days or hop on the ship for safety?

If you choose to leave earth then there goes the whole prophecy about Jesus' second coming Oo

This is not just a hypothetical question. Sure it won't happen anytime soon but for the future Chirstian generations it will happen.

If you happen to be in that generation as a Christian what would you do?

What if you choose to stay and earth actually blows up without any Jesus coming?

Then Mars would be free from Christianity I suppose.

That would not be a nice way to end your cult.

I've met many people who claim to be very, VERY, religious god-fearing people.
However, at the same time, these people consciously do 'bad things'-- acts that are considered sinful and immoral. They then go on to state how appalled they are by agnostic or atheist people.
On the other hand, these terrible nonbelievers generally seem to be kind, considerate, moral people, who are seen as supporters of the devil.
I find this ironic. Agree?

I'm not saying this is always the case, but I've witnessed it a lot.

Assuming this is true, why would Jesus have not died at the "end of the world", preached the redemption gospel to everyone in the history of the world that has died, and allowed all of them to see direct evidence of his sacrifice? Why come in the middle, preach to some in hell (if so, there would be no reason to say "nah, I think I'll hang down here, you guys enjoy peace, joy, and the A/C in Heaven."), and offer salvation by faith to others. If he wanted us to worship him through faith and choose to love him, why wouldn't he have come wayyyy earlier in human's recorded history to allow more people to serve and worship him in this way?

Nation. How is that so? You tell me?

For example: their anti-war and anti-Government consistently and incessantly are not helping in building up a strong Nation but on the contrary destroying her as the "fifth column"

Imagine the great disappointment and disgust that the young proud Americans who volunteer to defend their Nation; going to wars and what they sincerely believed as protecting their families and Nation; upholding freedom, and peace and equality for all men, to come home and be attacked by these leftist with rotten tomatoes and vicious verbal attacks from the mass media ? Worse than that, even when they are in the foreign lands helping to set the natives free from their tyrannical rules, their morale are being wounded by the same liberal back home, singing the enemy's tune and kissing the bully's boots while undermining the good works of the troops oversea and the people back home.

What a sorry sight these Democrats and Liberal portrays to the world watching. True?

Paul and other NT writers firmly believed that Jesus would return either within their own lifetime or the lifetime of the people they were addressing their books to. They were obviously wrong (if you believe in a future coming of Jesus, and not a spiritual coming in AD 70). How can we trust anything else that they say when they were so wrong on this point? How did the Holy Spirit who supposedly directed the words they wrote misguide them on this simple fact? They did not take the approach that most mainstream Christian leaders now take ("It Could be today, it could be in a hundred years, but let's be ready!"). They were very obvious in their belief that Jesus would return within their listeners lifetime...they did not know when, but they knew it would be soon (and soon in the most simple definition...not 2000 years).

Its like what they say about Voodoo, or ghosts. People only see when they believe. So if nobody believed, and I mean everybody on the planet, would their be a God? Assuming that only one person is needed to believe, in order to make God real. So if all of the human race goes exinct, and there is no human to believe in a God, is there still a God?

Just a thought
