if god and heaven exists.... what if you are not religious, do you think that if you still live life by good morals will god judge you on your life and you will still go to heaven? or do you have to have accepted jesus as your saviour etc and show your committment? i do not like the belief that only those who are christened can go to heaven as many people are not educated enough about relgion to make a choice (i.e those who follow a specific religion are often unaware what other religions believe)

though muslims never generalize ...and some minority of christians dont also.

A few Christians always bring up the same comeback when I ask a question regarding their religion... and it usually goes along the lines of, "If you truly read the Bible you would..."

But I have read the Bible. Thoroughly.

Christians, in your mind, is it impossible not to be converted by the Bible from a young age - with no other influences, by reading it word for word and understanding everything?

Or is fully understanding the Bible the real demise of Christianity and the spawning of Atheist believers?

Or is someone born with a lack of belief, or intelligence to figure out the contradicting beliefs, morals and discrimination within the Bible?

Or is it the work of Satan trying to overrule God?

Is there some sort of online confirmation that's out there? I want to start confirmation, yet there isn't an adequate church near (Sundays I go to a Baptist church (they don't have confirmation), but I'll be going to a Catholic church next year, and I would like to be baptised & confirmed in the catholic church). Any advice/help?

i believe each animal has a personality some species show these more than others but do you think they have a soul? I believe humans have souls as it is what makes us all unique. When animals die, do their souls go to heaven (as per the belief with humans) and are we all reunited with them as spirits and not in our physical form?

Creationism – Elohim (To Whom all praise is due to) intelligently designed us all. God is a cosmic energy in space some trillions light years away. This cosmic energy field has had no beginning it will have no ending. This energy field is made up of different types and forms of energy. This energy field is all knowing for some aspect of its energy is in everything. Have you ever heared of the big bang theory. According to the big band theory, the universe was created between ten billion and 20 billion years ago. This cosmic energy field whom is the Elohim the god of all worlds the ruler and the creator caused the big bang theory creating the planets we are not alone. It then sent some of its energy onto the planets forming. After the ruler and maker of the world created the planets the energy field sent it’s a very powerful infact the most power forceful after of course the Elohim and created what is now called Mother Nature. Mother Nature a supreme energy field is often referred to as angles in the bible for instance “ “Mother nature is an cosmic energy field and blesses us with good weather when we as humans do good deads as a whole. And Mother Nature grants us with bad weather when we as humans to bad deads. Now when Elohim created Earth and send some of his energy to earth creating “Organic Molecules” where ever is energy was sent on our planet.
After this energy field was sent to our planet he sent a more energy powerful energy to our planet and took the energy from the molecules and combined them some another energy that came from him and created different type of plant life including grass leaves trees and the cosmic energy field allowed Mother Nature to take some of its energy and place it in space and create the sun. and all the celestial bodies rotated along, each in its rounded course. The energy that created the plant life had a energy that came from the cosmic energy to create its own food. Then the almighty cosmic energy field took the energy from the organic molecules and the energy field from the plants and a new energy to from his field and created bug life the great almighty supreme energy field then followed the say pattern creating animals then us. We have the same energy as organic molecules , plants,bugs,animals, and a new energy within us. Each life form from organic molecules planets bugs and animals all have the energy of adaptions.So that what ever mother nature may inflict on them or humans inflict on them they can adapt to the climate and survive. We as humans have different types of energy within us and energy never dies.

I'm so happy atheists feel comfortable coming to Yahoo Answers to get their answers about our Lord Jesus Christ. I have learnt so much about atheists and my own beliefs thanks to my experience in sharing the truth. I am just so grateful to the Lord. Thank You!

Other Christians- do you feel the same way?

I've heard from quite a few young earth creationists an attempt to make both the Bible and scientific forms of dating work together. Basically, God created the earth only a few thousand years ago like the Bible tells us if you do the math, but he created it to look old. He created it with already decayed uranium and potassium. He created the universe with starlight already on its way to Earth, so while the star may seem billions of years old, it's only a few thousand.

This is a blatant form of dishonesty. An attempt to fool people into thinking something different than what is true is lying.

Does this not make God a liar? I thought he was without sin.

If you are secure in YOUR belief you don't have to defend it. be mature with your choice but leave others alone.
Do not offend people with another opinion,.

As there are as many angles, as there are individuals, to view anything by, I have found difficulty in deciding on which to choose. More to the point... I've given up trying to choose.

Now, that's not to say that it's difficult to choose. I mean, people choose all the time! Anytime you say something, you've mentally chosen an outlook; a perspective. (many time, though, it's not conscious).

Now, I do have a viewpoint, i have an outlook, but I'm plagued by the realization that there are countless other, just as valid viewpoints to see anything from. This, in 'general' terms, diminishes everything i could possibly say, in my eyes.

I mean... what could I possibly say that would have value in this mind-numbing, endless spectrum of perspectives?

I'm a sarcastic, cynical Atheist, I don't hold any true hostility toward any religious beliefs, I DO respond strongly and often offensively to those that are aggresive in proselytizing their religion, and although I may not agree with people, I do feel everyone has their own valid perspectives....my question is, who hates me because of these characteristics?

What where you saved from?
What if the definition of pretending is to deceive or give a false appearance? What if pretending can fool men, but it cannot fool God? What if it's true that we are known by our fruits? What if Jesus was right in saying that not everyone who calls Him their Lord will enter heaven? (Mt. 7:21) What if Satan wants me to believe I can sin and get away with it? What if God is not only a God of love and forgiveness, but also a God of justice and wrath?

What if it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God? (Heb. 10:31) What if my love for the things of this world reveals that I do not belong to Christ? (1 Jn. 2:15) What if I really should examine myself to see if I am truly in the faith? What if I have not honestly been broken over my sins against God and completely surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ? What if I have broken God's Commandments thousands of times without even caring that it spits in the face of God? What if God holds me accountable for every lie, every lustful thought, and every time I felt hatred toward a person? What if God considers my lust to be adultery and my hatred to be murder? What if I'm actually ignoring the God who gives me my every breath? What if I don’t see myself as an enemy of God, who deserves nothing but eternity in hell? What if God does not desire for me to go to hell, and made a way for me to be forgiven? What if God took my punishment by dying on the cross in the person of Jesus Christ for my sins? What if this conviction in my heart is begging me to truly repent and put my faith in Jesus Christ alone to save me?

When did men have so much power? Where in the Bible does it say to tell someone they are saved or lead them to me? Isn't Jesus our mediator and not man? If you tell someone they are saved, then are you going to also be their judge too?
