Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this : To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

How do we know if we have achieved moksha?

A lot of passages in the Bible talk about how you will go to hell if you sin. I wanted to know if that is true...It is impossible not to sin.

To those that believe the earth is millions of yours old, and there is no GOD (YHVH), were is your proof?
1) It can not be in the fossils, because there are no transitional forms. They have all been positively identified as something else.
2) It can not be in carbon dating, it is based on 4 assumptions that can not be proven, and 1 was proven wrong.
3) It can not be in radium/argon dating, because this has been proven wrong several times.
4) It can not be in the geological columns, because that has been proven to have all been laid in a very short time. (trees and animals buried going thru several layers)
so please, tell me... what is your proof?

Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
--2 Chronicles 15:13

What is the context for this passage that would allow me to feel comfortable walking among Christians?

This first book, St. Matthew's Gospel, was not written until about ten years after Our Lord's Ascension. St. John's fourth gospel and Apocalypse or Book of Revelations were not written until about 100 A. D.
Imagine how the present-day privately interpreted "Bible-only" theory would have appeared at a time when the books of the New Testament were not only unavailable, but most of them had not yet been written.

I have worn a gold chain and crucifix for as long as i can remember.at least 1/2 of my life i am now 27 and have serious doubts about everything about organized religion. I do believe in having faith(although not sure about my own) but to a certain degree i feel like a hypocrite for continuing to wear this. should i continue? should i save it for possibe future use, or just sell it at the pawn shop(it is gold). also , it was a gift from my father so i have to take that into account.

I'm not talking about Sunday service but if someone doesn't attend church but still believes aren't they still just as Christian?

Catholics believe that salvation comes first from God's grace and that we are saved by cooperating with this grace with faith AND works. (It is important to note here, that Catholics are NOT talking about works of the law as often spoken of by Paul. Paul condemned the Pharisees for observing the law but not showing love. Catholics are speaking of works of "faith" such as obedience to God, love, service, etc.)

Do you believe this?

Then why is it that Christians seem to be held to the standard of perfection, and then criticized when ever they make a mistake?

I think that Christians need a better sense of humour than atheists, because look at the questions here. It seems as though most of the atheists and agnostics and pagans have a well developed sense of humour and can take a lot of grief. I really feel for the Christians, and I know that it must take a lot of inner strength when their beliefs are called moronic, idiotic, improbable, impossible, stupid, cultish, fragmented, horrific, ludicrous, retarded, blind, guilt-laden, divisive, subversive, imbecilic, schizophrenic, out dated, counter-intuitive, isolating, controlling, etc. etc.
So, do you think we should pat these Christians on the back, and say, thankx for putting up with us humourous people, and how can we help you develop a better sense of humour than those darned atheists? Because after all, those atheists say the darnedest things.

Just where is the line between sin and salvation? Yes, I know the verses, you don't need to spew them out -- but use them for support if you need to. Looking for some logic here, especially from the folks that believe salvation can be lost.
