Answer 1

The answer to your poorly typed questions is a simple one...

There is no god or satan.

Answer 2

1. The answer is yes, sometimes. Some sins have built-in consequences (2 Samuel 12). God uses the government to punish people for their sins (Read Romans 13). And sometimes God will kill punish people directly (but these instances are rare even in the Bible. (Acts 5, Genesis 13)

2. Differing answers come from a few things. First, some believe that the Bible is truly inspired by God, and others say it is just a good book written by men. Second, some believe in a "normal" interpretation, that we need to understand how it was undertood by the original audience and how it applies to us, while others allegorize passages to mean whatever they want.

3. God is a spirit being, but we see what are called Theophanies in the Bible where he appears in a form that can be seen. In the garden of Eden, God probably did not have a physical body, but this is an anthropomorphism meaning that God is given human traits when being described. In the Psalms you will see this a lot. The hand of the Lord, the Lord is like an eagle, mother hen, etc.

4. God will destroy Satan and evil. Man sinned in the Garden of Eden. It was God's design to have a Garden-of-Eden-like relationship with man. Since man rejected this by sinning, there is evil. God will restore the world, remove the curse, and eternally punish Satan. Meanwhile, we wait.

5. Angels are a separate group of beings that are spirit beings created by God. The word angel also means messenger. They are used by God to do various things (even though he could do them himself). You don't become an angel when you die. You do leave your physical body and go to heaven or hell. In the resurrection, everyone is brought back from the dead and judged. They will be sent to eternity in heaven or hell in perfect, indestructible bodies. The Bible doesn't say when angels were created.

6. Christians believe what is in the Bible. It is their authority. Other faiths have other authorities, such as a person or a certain book. A lot of times people don't really know much about their religion. Some groups have made prophecies about the return of Jesus that have not come true. This contradicts the Bible. They are a false religion. A lot of time, people come up with weird religions due to their desire to control people, or the Bible says that the devil does this too. He "poses as an angel (or messenger) of light (or good)".

Answer 3

got a lot of ateists and uninformed type of answers and some good ones.

quickly 1. You do suffer loss when you sin but Jesus will kiss it and make it better latter still there are rewards so do not waste time on things unrewarding

2 Some see different things in different scripture but be assured none of the actual scripture is contradictory. Read it your self with prayer. Some have sin they want to keep at this point others have power who should not and so ppl do not know there are scriptures of accountability to eliminate this problem Mat 18 and the letters to TIM

3 doesn't say. I think He talked as you do to a friend but what differance does it make??

4. Entertain this question until the answer comes to you. What is the sound of one hand clapping

5 do not know for sure and neither does anyone else. Had two friends who saw angels and they can not tell you either, however men rule over angels in the end so no you will never be one.. Satan and his crew were only one third of the angels

6. There is only one true church, and it has no name and holds no services that I am aware of, and I am pretty sure I would know, and there would be ppl from all over the world there.

From your letter it sounds like you are a believer, stick your hand in the fire and become a knower. Someone you know is a knower just ask them to show you the way. That person will be confident, humble, kind and never try to profit off of you. Pray God will show him or her to you. Be patient and you will be called (probably not on the phone)

Answer 4

>>>1. does god punish you for your sins on earth even if he forgives you? such as your parents finding out things and god planned it so u can get punished?

No. God does not punish anybody. The justice of God is not the same as the justice that parents give to their children, though stories about love and forgivenss about parents and children help us learn the forgivenss of a loving Father. The Prodical Son in the Bible is a good example. It is about the forgiveness of a loving father, and the son suffered out of his own stupidity, and was not punished at all.

>>>2. y do people have so much different answers to a question when all the answer are in the one book-bible?

Individuals have different understandings of what anything can mean. If every citizen could interpret the Constitution for themselves, you could not have law. That is what a Supreme court does. It tells us what the Constitution MEANS. So the Church tells us what the Bible means. The Bible says the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth, although the Bible teaches truth.

>>>3. did god show himself during the time of adam and eve since it says he walked to the garden of Eden? and if not, how was his voice heard?

Adam and Eve were created without sin, and had perfect communion with God because they were full of grace. People often forget they were once sinless, "since all have sinned, and all have fallen short...blah blah blah. "

>>>4. y doesn't god destroy satan? and end evil?

His head has been crushed as was prophecied by God in Gen. 3:15. Time does not exist when this occurs. It just does.

If you want to end evil, start with yourself, and strive for holiness.

>>>5. what are angels? y do ppl say u can become an angel when you die? aren't angels just Satan and some other ones that were chosen before adam and eve?

Angels are spirits. We become greater than the angels when we die. Satan was an angel.

>>>6. y do ppl believe in what religion they are?

Because they are born into them, or God leads them. Mostly, the first.

only one answer prooves all and it is the bible isn't it? if not, where else do they come up with wierd religions that werent mention in the bible.

The Bible itself was never intended to be the sole rule of faith. It is a rule of faith, but not the SOLE rule. It is materially sufficient to instruct us, but not SOLEY sufficient. That idea came up 1500 years after the Resurrection.

There are 27 books in the New Testament. Prove, just by using the Bible, why there are 27 books. What verse says that? Where do you go for the answer if it not in the Bible???

God put them there? OK. Show me the men whom God gave these books. Do you know there names? What year was it?

Did each individual true believer know automatically for sure that writings were actual authentic inspired scripture? What proof is there for this theory? Why was the book of Hebrews not considered inspired for 300 years?

The answers to these questions are not hard to find. You have to set aside your prejudices, and stand humbly before God, and ask Him if it really is true.

Answer 5

1. The Bible is just a guide to how to live. It is not infallible.

2. People have free will. So what you do is up to you, and you will reap the consequences.

3. Anyone can believe in any religion. They can even invent one if they want.

4. The universe is a VERY BIG place.

5. No-one has ever seen God. You either believe, or you don't. It's all down to free will.

6. Satan doesn't exist.

7. Evil exists because people have free will and use it to do stupid things, from being nasty to people all the way to making wars.

8. God's voice is only heard in the still and the quiet - it is the voice of your own conscience.

9. Angels are a nice myth that never did anyone any harm.

10. Be yourself. Be free. Be loved and give love in return. Enjoy your life. Whether there is a God or there isn't, if you do all that, you will still be a winner.

Answer 6

1) Absolutely. God punishes people on Earth for the same reason that a parent might punish their children...in the hope that they will learn from the mistake (sin).

2) We are talking about texts that were handed down orally for centuries before they were ever written down. Even after we started to write them the were altered & edited over the years. It is no wonder that there should be some confusion regarding the versions we are reading now. Have you ever played that rumor game where you whisper someing into someone's ear and then they do the same and it continues around the room until it returns to you and no longer is the same thing it started as...same kind of thing.

3) I believe so.

4) Good cannot exist without evil. Without evil then goodness loses all meaning. If you walk into a restaurant which only serves one item and then you order than one item can you congratulate yourself for making a good choice? Of course not, there was no choice. You can't chose the good if there is no evil.

5) Most people believe that angels are amongst us now. Watching and assisting where they can. They are servants of God. I don't know if we can become an angel.

6) People tend to either follow the religion that they were raised in or they will follow the religion that best fits their "spiritual" needs.

Answer 7

I'll bite:
1) I don't know. It sometimes seems that way.
2) People are all different. They take opposing views to everything, even when it seems really cut and dry.
3) I always wondered about that myself. How did God manifest to Adam and Eve? And how is it that they were able to look on Him? Perhaps it's because they were pure at the time, and after they sinned, they could no longer face God.
4) He will. Just not yet.
5) I think angels are beings much like God. I suppose they're eternal like He is. No, I don't believe people become angels.
6) Actually, other religions are mentioned in the Bible. They were called pagans, but there were probably other religions present.

Answer 8

1. The Bible says God rebukes those he loves.
2. Different minds interpret things differently.
3. God is spirit.
4. Satan will be in the lake of fire someday.
5. They are heavenly beings. No, we don't turn into angels when we die. There are angels who serve God, and those who serve Satan.
6. Some people have a religion because that's all they've known their whole life. Others change churches to find what they need.
Others make up their own church or religion.

Answer 9

the answer to question 1 is yeah. Just think of it as getting a bad grade at school, the teacher 'forgives you' i guess, but you must still suffer the consequence. Parents finding out is definatl one.
two. Because people want to distort the truth and misinterpret what the bible really says. Many people take it out of concept.
three. Yes, GOd showed himself because adam and eve were perfect and were able to see the face of God. You think of angels as holy, but even they can't see god. Man could before the fall.
4. He will, I don't know why he doesn't now cause i shure would apreciate it, but in the end, God will lock him in a lake of fire.
5. When we die we don't become angels. Angels really arn't that great. They are perfect but we are better than them. There are heavenly angels and there are demonic angels. The domonic angels left with satan.
6. Well, that is one i can't fully answer. But i know that many religions split off from places in the Bible. For example Muslum split off way back in the old testement. I don't know were other religions come from, but i know that they are all bogus. if you want my yahoo sn is jesusfreak2929

2. 2 Tim 4: 3-5

3. No, it was the same as Judges 13:21,22

6. refer to answer number 2

Answer 11

There is not one answer to your questions, people of different sects would answer them differently.
1. Actions have consequences, period. Blame it on God, fine.
2. The book has more than one interpretation, and most every interpreter claims to have it 'right'.
3. If this story is True, vs. an story meant to teach a lesson, then yes, the story says God walked, and spoke, and implies a human form.
4. There is a balance in the universe between good/evil, matter and anti-matter .... so, either this balance is a requirement of nature or, God allows 'satan' to exist so we can choose God.
5. It depends on what sect of religion you follow, most teach that angels are separate created beings.
6. Most people have religous beliefs that reflect acceptance or rejection of what they have been exposed to... and there is more than one book called holy by religious poeple. The Bible includes sections shared by Jews and Muslims, by the way.
7. Some Christians believe that there can be union between the scientific and the spiritual... that all our stories can be 'true', so, yes, big bang can be true and creation too... again, it depends upon your sect of religion and what is taught.
