I think the church is a big business, and they promote fear of the unknown. I know a lot of you are gonna rip me, but I dont really care. If you educate yourself, you will come to the realization one day that there is no heaven or hell, and therefore no god.

Believe me I am educated to the highest level and I have certainly not come to that conclusion. When Jesus Christ calls you it doesn't matter how educated you are you just know and follow him because he is that real.. He is the son of God.

I have educated myself and I have come to the conclusion that there is a Heaven and a Hell and a wonderful God that gave his son for our sins. Some churches may be big business but that is some churches. Some churches are also only in it for the money. But if you think you about if you have a painting there has to be a painter and if there is a building there has to be a builder so if there is a world then there has to be a creator. And that creator is God the one and only Jehovah.

God is real... it's not a matter of belief, it's knowing. I don't go to church so no one has put any fear in me and God doesn't want you to fear him, just love him and live a good life and respect others. I have a Bachelor's degree; I graduated in the top of my class and was inducted into two international honor societies. I'll be starting my Masters in the fall. The more education I go through the stronger my faith is and it's not religious schools that I have attended either, but public universities.
And luv4, he said he was educated because the "question" is saying that you must be uneducated to believe in God.

Yes, I believe in God and Jesus Christ as my savior.
No you will not be ripped by me.
I would personally like to know where you found your education that proves that there is no heaven or hell. I am open to other perspectives and intelligent dialogues shared between people.
Hell is present day earth. No one will know of a Heaven because most people have little or no faith, especially with things that are intangible like Heaven, God...etc.
Last but not least, Satan also believes in God. It's whether or not you choose to live as a christian and follow the laws of God as to whether or not you can call yourself a Christian.

Church can be a big business some morals in churches is highly questionable, but people are not required to go to church to be saved if you believe in Jesus Christ and wish to be saved that's all you need Church is a thing to aid you in your learning of God and a place to share your feelings with others and yes i be live in God and heaven and education should only spear you towards the known truth of Gods existence

Think a little bit !!!!
Who created human being,plants,stars,planets,sky,and all the things in the world.?
Can you see any thing holding the sky if there is no God the sky should fell on us.?
And do you thing if God created you he will not see you again? no of course he will and he will see if you are good you will go to heaven and if you are bad you will go to hell.And he is with you wherever you are if no body see you or now what you are thinking about only God.
And dont think that god just created you and he didn't care! no ,all what you are doing in your live is writen and you will see that when the live in earth is finished and begins the live in heaven and hell.
If if a person who is not educated can now that just by looking at God creutures.

I do agree with some of what you say, the church is a business, based on how much money you 'give' is how important you are in the church. all the TV evangelist are fake and only beg for $ ...
ppl have gone away from God and gotten Greedy.. God knows our heart, he knows all.
However I DO believe in God. and I do believe in heaven and hell... read your bible.

Fear of the unknown is not the purpose of Salvation. When a person first realizes their sin and the consequences of course they are afraid. But Salvation brings security and all fear is gone. As a Christian grows, fear is the least of their thoughts. So true Salvation cast away all fear.

I believe in God, but I reject organized religion. The idea of a Creator makes sense to me, but I do not believe he contacts us, therefore no scriptures, prophets, etc. I doubt the existence of heaven, though I'm actually undecided. I do not believe in Hell, I cannot believe that a just God would allow such to exist.

How do you know this?
You know your site and touch can be fooled. You have heard of men that live in a dream world. Are you sure you are not in a home lock in room and out of your mind and all you know is a dream in a mad man`s head?
If you and grasp this. Think on this.
I think their for I am, But I know I have not always been. So some thing must be greater than I, because I can not make a new me.
