inciting hate, fear, and unbelief is not the Christian way.
those that do this are not true Christians.

i don't believe in heaven or hell, i believe that we rot in the ground. i would like to believe that there is a place of eternal happiness, but its just not possible. i am a determinist. i believe that wherever life takes me that is the direction i was destined to go. the only thing i have no idea about is where the hell we came from. it just doesn't make sense. if there was really a god who made us with all of his love and made us to live long lives, than i can garauntee that he wouldn't let some of the crap thats going on today happen. so i have no idea where we came from. it pisses me off sometimes. right now im kinda headed the direction that the movie the matrix shows. not exactly like it, but the same idea. that there is some kind of outside force that is keeping us prisoner by means of controlling our heads and making us think this is all real. that is really the only REASONABLE explanation. idk. idk what to believe anymore. theres like a lot of religions out there, and i think they were all made so we have something to look up to and pray towards. because, take catholosism for instance, how do we know jesus existed, we don't, how do we know the bible was just made us stuff, we don't, how do we know that there is a god, a holy spirit and a son, we don't. thats why i am a determinist. i take life by the horns.

Well I follow the Ohio State Buckeyes and they will win the National Title which was probably played on Nov 18th
The only thing I know more is that Troy Smith is winning the heisman.
I put my faith in the Scarlet and Grey, The Sweater Vest and number 10.
Go Bucks!
That is the kind of question you ask this is the kind of answer you get! LOL
Catholicism rules! We can all go to heaven baby. God gives you a get out of jail free card called confessing your sins. Judge not lest ye be judged (someone important said that!)

Yes, I do follow the true religion. Jesus said you can recognize the true religion from the false by means of their fruitages, or works (Matthew 7:15-17). It's not hard to do. Just ask yourself: What religion bases it's teachings solely on the Bible, rather than man-made false doctrine and tradition? What religion follows Jesus Christ's footsteps closely, as the Bible says to do? What religion upholds moral standards in their lifestyles and way of living, rather than just saying they practice these standards? What religion practices true love for their neighbors as John 13:35 said they would do?
Just look around and you'll see the true from the false; it's not as hard as you think it is. :)

John 14:6 NIV
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
A previous answerer said that any religion claiming to be the only way to God is a lie. On what evidence do you say that? I would submit to you that any religion that says that it is only "one of the ways to God" is a lie. I say that on the grounds of the Bible. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can be forgiven. God bless!

Some of us have no souls so the parady is...when those with no souls die, they have an eternity in their grave. Some of us, however, have souls. And we can live in multi frequencies, for eternity, cause we have the source in us..hehehe, ok i am just saying, i have a soul, do you!?

At John 4:23, 24 Jesus said: "Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth." Also, he said: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
There is no truth in the Bible regarding people burning in "hell fire" for eternity. If that is so, why did Jesus when he died, went to hell?
Acts 2:25-27, KJ: “David speaketh concerning him [Jesus Christ], . . . Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,* neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” (The fact that God did not “leave” Jesus in hell implies that Jesus was in hell, or Hades, at least for a time, does it not?) (*“Hell,” Dy; “death,” NE; “the place of death,” Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV; “Hades,” AS, RS, JB, NW.)
Likewise Job wanted to go to hell and upon going there ask the true God to resurrect him. Job 14:13, Dy: “[Job prayed:] Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell,* and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me?” (God himself said that Job was “a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning aside from bad.”—Job 1:8.) (*“The grave,” KJ; “the world of the dead,” TEV; “Sheol,” AS, RS, NE, JB, NW.)
Consider that the Bible says that people actually come out of "Hell": Rev. 20:13, 14, KJ: “The sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell* delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.” (So the dead will be delivered from hell. Notice also that HELL IS NOT THE SAME AS THE LAKE OF FIRE BUT WILL BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.) (*“Hell,” Dy, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV; “Hades,” NE, AS, RS, JB, NW.)
So, why is there confusion as to what the Bible says about hell?
“Hellfire” has been a basic teaching in Christendom for many centuries. “Much confusion and misunderstanding has been caused through the early translators of the Bible persistently rendering the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades and Gehenna by the word hell. The simple transliteration of these words by the translators of the revised editions of the Bible has not sufficed to appreciably clear up this confusion and misconception.”—The Encyclopedia Americana (1942), Vol. XIV, p. 81.
So what is Hell? The Hebrew she’ohl´ and its Greek equivalent hai´des, refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind;
Concerning this use of “hell” to translate these original words from the Hebrew and Greek, Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (1981, Vol. 2, p. 187) says: “HADES . . . It corresponds to ‘Sheol’ in the O.T. [Old Testament]. In the A.V. of the O.T. [Old Testament] and N.T. [New Testament], it has been unhappily rendered ‘Hell.’”
