Myth or Reality?

Question

Are you willing to take the biggest gamble of your life. This applies to Everyone. Each of us has a conscience which means with knowledge. We all have a knowledge of God and of Right and Wrong. The Bible tells us that when we die we will be judged by God on the standard of His moral laws. Examine yourself. Have you lied, stolen, used God's name in vain. If you stand guilty before God on judgment day, you will end up in Hell. The good news is that God has provided a way to be forgiven and go to be with Him in Heaven. Jesus Christ came to earth to die on a cross and rise again to pay the debt for your sins. In order to be forgiven you must Repent, which means to apologize to God for all of your sins, turn away from your sins, and put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be forgiven and accepted into Heaven, not because your a good person, but because your a bad person who's been Forgiven. Please think about this, you never know when you could die, and then its too late

Answer 1

If this is the case, then all the dead Pharaoh's are burning in hell right? Get over yourself and open your eyes to the world! There is more than one faith in this world, deal with it! God is awesome but everyone has the right to interpret him/her in their own way.

Answer 2

Very interesting. I assume that you are referring to the criminal that Jesus forgave while dying on the cross. Talk about last minute! Anyway, that is the belief of mainstream Christianity (Catholicism, to be specific.) Don't worry, I'm Catholic (which incidentally means "universal," but I'm also very open-minded. There are other branches of Christianity, such as Calvinism, that preaches pre-destination, meaning that whatever you do, you are pre-destined to go to either Heaven or Hell.

Now, how about other religions? Take Islam, for example. Fundamentalist Muslims believe that if you give up your life defending your faith, you will be rewarded by being in Paradise and being attended to by seven virgins. This is their concept of Right and Wrong. (For the record, I personally think this is so Wrong.)

Hinduism beliefs include reincarnation according to how you lived your past life. If good, then you belong to the Brahman class. If bad, you can become a cow or a cockroach. (I'm tempted to include a joke here, but never mind). Buddhists believe that you are being reincarnated until you reach nirvana, or being one with the universe.

Bottom line: It does not really matter what religion you believe in, just as long you live your life the best you can. Personally, my best means that I will be leaving behind a better world than the world I came to. What about you?

Answer 3

Why do you presume there is a god of any kind? What is it that every single individual would need forgiven for? Being born LAMO! Prove to me your so called god exists and I'll beleive it then - just send me all your money for the remaider of your life- hey your god will take care of you. Right? Then I'll be able to afford more of my 'sins'.

Yeah sounds crazy, no moreso than your idea that every single human being has to repent for something. True we don't know when we could die, all the more reason to enjoy life while we can. NO GOD NO HEAVEN NO HELL NO SIN NO GUILT

Answer 4

God looks out for everyone. Some people don't listen to God. So if you had parents and they looked out for you and you kept ignoring them, sooner or later they are going to tell you that you aren't welcome at home anymore.

Now, religion is another deal. People invented religion so that people could have a standard to live their lives by. However, some people feel that their standards are the "right" ones, and feel the need to "tell" people that they are screwed up if they don't do it their way. (Kind of like your question).

Now, let's assume that God (a parent) had kids that went around telling everyone that they were right and were intolerant of others because they didn't believe what the kids did. I would think God (a parent) would be pretty ashamed of their "kids" that did that. However, some of God's "kids" actually practice tolerance and love others and let them do their own thing. I would think that God (a parent) would look at those kids and say "you know, these kids are actually walking the walk, not just talking sh!t...I'm proud of them".

So try not to be so judgmental and arrogant by assuming what God (the parent) wants.

Answer 5

Reality! Not everybody is going to accept that God is Real. That's the way they feel. You have done your job by passing the word on to other people. So when your are in the presents of our Lord Jesus Christ, He will know your heart and what you have done. You can't make someone accept Jesus, but you can never stop telling them about Him. And keep praying for the World.

Answer 6

Myth -- Here is where the fallacy lies, within your own question:

"Each of us has a conscience which means with knowledge. We all have a knowledge of God and of Right and Wrong. "

No, we do not *all* have a knowledge of God and Right and Wrong. What is right for one society is wrong for another, each society has its own god/gods and many have none. These things are TAUGHT, not inherent. Even when we try to teach them, many times the lesson is not learned. I work in Family Court and see many juveniles come through here with absolutely no idea that what they did -- stealing, shoplifting, drugs -- whatever, was wrong. To them, it was the socially acceptable way to behave because it is the way their mothers, fathers, friends and neighbors behave. We are the ones who are wrong, because we are preventing them from surviving in their environment.

While I don't like what I see out there, I also don't think we have the right to force our beliefs on others. Yours, mine, anyone's. If you want to teach someone your truths, teach your children to behave well.

Answer 7

How does anyone know? The only way to know the answer is if you were to die and come back to life after a period of time(long enough to go through the whole judgement process). I don't know anyone that has done that. So I don't think there is anyway to know.

Answer 8

Myth. God will not judge anybody and you don't need to ask forgiveness for anything you've done. God love and accepts everyone without the need for fear of punishment. We are one with God because we are God. God is all there is. That is why God would not judge or punish us, because to do so would be to judge and punish "him"self.

Answer 9

Leave us the hell alone. Go save your own poor pathetic soul. Shoving your religion down people's throats makes Baby Jesus cry.

Answer 10

You need to wake up to the fact your Jesus Christ is a myth plagiarized from older 'crucified savior' ones. Your belief in him is worthless upon physical death.
