If your here to tell me god is stupid, please leave.
Have you ever had a spiritual vision or a sign that confirmed your beliefs when you weren't 100% sure of God?
What do you think of "those who claim they can contact the dead"?
What would God consider the most important things to remember from the bible?
Do you believe God works through other people?
Do you believe that Evolution and the bible go together?
What do they mean by the holy ghost and what does this part of god do?
This lady says that god is going to be using my friend soon, and to keep on her best behaviour. Doesn't he want to use me to?
Is it true that once your in the book of life its forever? Even if you do something really bad? So once you've accepted god as your god(?), your forgiven for all the past sins, all your current sins and all your future sins?
If you have sinned than you die before you can repent but your saved will you still make it into heaven?
Please try and answer these as open questions.

sort of...
I was blessed by a Celtic Priestess before going in to battle...and I was spared. It was profound.
What do you think of "those who claim they can contact the dead"?
Interesting.
What would God consider the most important things to remember from the bible?
Learn to love yourself before you love others.
Treat others with kindness and compassion.
Do you believe God works through other people?
It's possible.
Do you believe that Evolution and the bible go together?
they could if people wanted them to.
What do they mean by the holy ghost and what does this part of god do?
This is the spirit that fills you and makes you whole and holy.
This lady says that god is going to be using my friend soon, and to keep on her best behaviour. Doesn't he want to use me to?
Don't put all your faith into what other people say...put faith in you.
Is it true that once your in the book of life its forever?
Not at all.
Even if you do something really bad? So once you've accepted god as your god(?), your forgiven for all the past sins, all your current sins and all your future sins?
Nope only those that are asked for.
If you have sinned than you die before you can repent but your saved will you still make it into heaven?
So they say....after a wee bit of time in Purgatory

1. No, I haven't had any vision 2 b 100% sure of God.
2. Those who say they can contact the dead make use of magic. They have to pay for it someday.
3. The most important thing to remember from the Bible is :"Love one another as I have loved you."
4. Yes, I believe God works through others.
5. I don't believe that evolution and the Bible go together. By the way, the Holy Bible cannot be compared to any other book or theory coz it is the absolute truth.
6. The Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit. God is the Creator, Jesus is His Spiritual Son and our Redeemer and the Holy Spirit is God's Power.
7. Don't believe that lady. Nobody knows what God is about to do. God has created us all with a purpose and He uses us all according to His purpose which we don't know of.
8. If you really have accepted God as a Merciful Father and a just Judge, you will never want to sin. So what's the question of future sins? Only Judgment Day will reveal whose names are in the Book of Life or not.
9. Only those who repent are saved. Yes, Jesus died for us all to save us from eternal damnation but understand this that God is Holy and nothing unholy can reach Him. Before Jesus could die, even the person who sinned the slightest could not enter heaven but after His death there was a possibility to get into heaven for those who truly repented.

1. Have you ever had a spiritual vision or a sign that confirmed your beliefs when you weren't 100% sure of God? Can't say that I have. (Well, that depends on what you mean by sign. If you're talking about a physical sign, the answer remains no. But if that includes Scripture or a particular sermon acting as a sign, or indicating something that I'd been questioning, then the answer is yes.)
2. What do you think of "those who claim they can contact the dead"? I wouldn't disbelieve them, but I would question whether it was God or Satan who had anything to do with that...
3. What would God consider the most important things to remember from the bible? I can't presume to know what God thinks or believes, but I'd venture a guess that He'd like us to remember how holy holy holy He is, merciful but just, and all-powerful. His faithfulness, goodness and blessings will never fail us, and his son Jesus is our only hope and Saviour. Also, we're servants to Him and must struggle daily to overcome the world and follow Him. I could go on and on, but I think those are some essential points...
4. Do you believe God works through other people? Absolutely; I believe this without a doubt.
5. Do you believe that Evolution and the bible go together? No.
6. What do they mean by the holy ghost and what does this part of god do? (Who's 'they?') I would have to say, though, that the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) is the spirit of God in our hearts that guides us and speaks to us through His Word (the Bible). It is that little piece of God that we can hold in our hearts and that will never fail us, if we have ears to hear and wisdom to listen.
7. This lady says that god is going to be using my friend soon, and to keep on her best behaviour. Doesn't he want to use me to? God wants to use everybody.
8. Is it true that once your in the book of life its forever? Even if you do something really bad? If you've truly accepted Jesus as your Saviour, and have a genuine relationship with him, then you are saved, regardless of what you do in the future. Every human being is imperfect and sinful, even born-again Christians.
9. So once you've accepted god as your god(?), your forgiven for all the past sins, all your current sins and all your future sins? This does not, however, give you free reign to continue sinning. Additionally, born-again Christians who truly follow Jesus shouldn't want to sin. That's not to say it won't happen (it'd be stupid and overly presumptious to say such a thing) but that it certainly does NOT excuse our behavoiur when we do sin, and if we continue in a certain sin, we'd best (re)evaluate our relationship with Jesus.
10. If you have sinned than you die before you can repent but your saved will you still make it into heaven? Absolutely. As long as you're truly saved and that last sin wasn't the rejection of God.
11. If God has a plan for us, what's the point in free will? Just because God wants us to do something doesn't mean we have to do it. How often have parents wanted a certain path for their kids, only to have it rejected by those kids? If we love God, however, we'll try to follow his plans for us as best as possible. This doesn't negate our free will (we had free will, after all, to choose him, and still have free will to follow him) only shows that we prefer God to our free will and would sacrifice it for him if we could.

1 I have felt a spiritual connection with God but never had a vision.
2 I think that people that say they can contact the dead are A: full of it. OR B: Talking to something that wants you to think it's the dead
3 Mark 12:29-31 :: Contemporary English Version (CEV)
29Jesus answered, "The most important one says: `People of Israel, you have only one Lord and God. 30You must love him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.' 31The second most important commandment says: `Love others as much as you love yourself.' No other commandment is more important than these."
4 Yes God works in mysterious ways
5 Evolution and the Bible always seem to disagree. I think when it's time for us to know the answer to the questions we have will be revealed. However I do think that certain events in creationism did happen just not sure how it fits in with evolution.
6 The Holy Ghost is basically the Holy Spirit. Just like a human spirit but Devinne. It is part of God like yours is part of you.
7 God has his own plan for you. No one can tell you or your friend what your plan is.
8 Well I believe that you have to pray to be forgiven for every sin. If you die before you have a chance to be forgiven then it's up to the Lord to do as he sees fit.

Ok, I do believe, there is something bigger then you and me. Just don't think it's called God, Allah or whatever...
1) Yes, and it was a very special feeling.
2) Guess it could get quite annoying, when they keep knocking...
3) Remember that live is a gift and should be treat as one!
4) If you don't take it too serious.
5) Guess god needs some helping hand from time to time... no kidding. Don't know for sure.
6) If you have something to give, and you are giving it then he is already using you.
7) If this God wanted us to be perfect from the start, then he would have made us spotless, don't you think? Living is enjoy to be alive and learn from mistakes. Or are you able to learn how to swim without water?
8) Guess he has a pretty good laugh from time to time, how serious people takes live. So if you've been a bad girl he might just say: Well, she'll learn.
9) Sorry, can't give you that. As I said, believing in something bigger as you and me but not neccessairly in God, Allah or whatever.
Cheers!

Spiritual vision? Ghost?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
(NOT A VIRGIN BIRTH! - Google Imacculate Conception. What else do you falsely believe? )
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us? Big deal!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you swallow this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to swallow it too.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing a mental illness and becoming truly lost.

because my pastime is for the persons who may easily favor to understand. If someone is calling a pointed question, i'm infrequently ever answering the question for that man or woman, yet extremely for those take the answer that has value. The Pharisees have many brokers attempting to thwart the know God. If it replaced right into a blind handbook all by himself, that could be a a range of of tale.
