To believe or not believe, that is the question..?

Question

My beleifs in "God" seem to be very unorthodox. What I mean by this is that I believe that the bible, which it says, was written by meer mortal men, right? So why do people take it like every single thing in it is true. I believe in a higher power and I believe in "God" BUT is God really going to condem all to Hell if they dont believe and they are still wonderful people, never hurting anyone?? I dont think so.... I want to believe so someone prove me wrong.

Answer 1

Tis nobler in the mind of a man to question the world around him rather than to accept the old ways and be led lilke sheep into that dark night thinking they know all that lies beyond. For no man that has not died truly knows for sure.

Answer 2

I don't think that any major Christian denomination teaches that God condemns people to hell. The idea is that because of sin, we're all doomed to hell _by default_, and the only way to avoid that is through the grace of God. But you have to accept the grace of God - He doesn't force it on us.

That means that it doesn't matter how wonderful a person is - to get the gift you have to accept it. "By grace are ye saved through faith, not works, lest any man should boast" (that's somewhere in that Bible thing - you can look it up).

Now I don't believe a word of this, as there clearly isn't any god, and when we die, that's the end. But I believe that it's important to get it right, to avoid strawman arguments against the Christians.

Er, Jurky? Sending someone to a Kent Hovind creationism video isn't exactly a good way to encourage them to become Christian. Hovind is a professional liar, and a tax cheat. Surely you can find a better example.

Answer 3

All written history is false. The new testiment was completely rewritten by King James, 13 times and all original copies have been lost. I tell you what. If "God" is this mean and nasty little punk like it says in the Hebew bible, or this murdering little "woman hater" the Muslims preach about, why would anyone worship him? He's just a rotten little shithead punk. Maybe it's time to invent some new Gods.

Answer 4

He created you, He can do anything He wants with you.

Yes, the Bible is 100% true, no contradictions whatsoever. If anyone thinks that they`ve found a contradiction, feel free to ask me. I`ll try to help.

However, The Bible states that only by Faith can you accept Jesus Christ into your heart, therefore, nothing can be proven scientifically proved.

But wouldn`t it be great if you could spend eternetiy with the Creator of the universe? I mean, if he only upgraded your senses, you could smell the colours, you could see the sound...

Answer 5

If you believe in God the you take His Word to be all true because it is. It's more than believing in a higher power which is a beginning. You must accept Jesus Christ into your life to be saved and to enter heaven. God is so incredibly perfect and holy that we cannot see Him or enter His gates because of our sin. We are unable to enter without the blood of Jesus. What would be considered as good? and How many good works would it take to get into heaven?You would have to never sin ever to be considered in and no one is without sin. Do you understand? In order to enter heaven we must be born again? Christ suffered and died on the cross so that we can enter heavens gates. With him in our hearts, it's like we got the special executive key. We can only enter by the one who was perfect ; Christ. Jesus will stand before us and say that He knew us and will let us in.

Answer 6

Yes, the bible was written by mere mortal man but they were righteous men, inspired by God in their writings. The bible is a history book written by inspired men, to show us the good and the failings of mortal men through time. It not only gives us Gods laws to live by, but also examples and consequences of righteous and unrighteous living. It also contains types and shadows that, if we righteously seek them, can by the spirit, reveal to us the secrets of being able to become as a true disciple to Christ.

All people who accept Christ as their savior and try to live good lives, to the best of their ability, according to what truth they have, will be judged according to that truth they have. This does not mean only according to that truth you are willing to accept. If all truth is available to you and you reject parts of it. You will be judged according also by that which you have rejected and for rejecting it.

Answer 7

The bible was written many many moons after Jesus died....... If we always ask WHERE WAS GOD WHEN? We need to start asking why He was banned from schools and all public buildings (but somehow not the court room)... We as humans need to figure out what the heck we want in our life's..... Chaos or peace

Answer 8

well catholics believe in purgatory, sort of a mini hell where ur sins are burned away before entering heaven.

its like how u have to shower before going into a sterile area.

this way, the good people can still go to heaven, and God is still just.

Answer 9

Satan also believes there is a God and would also have people to believe that there is no hell...the Bible isn't really from God...what are you thinking?!..that sounds like..."eat the apple..for you wont surely die." does that sound familiar to you?

The Bible was written by man under the leadership of God...I believe it from Gen. thru Rev. God said that not one jot or tittle will pass away til all be fulfilled..and he also said to them that ad to the word or take away from it..let them be acursed.

Answer 10

The bible was from God, and given to those mortal men. If you don't become born again, and accept Jesus as your savior, no matter how good you are in life, you wlll go to hell.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
