Question

need ur answers

Answer 1

Because people long long long long long time ago, didn't
understand the weather, storm, why this, why that happen,
so I guess they think there must be a God or Gods.
Now we got Science and we understand the weather and
all.

Answer 2

There are many reasons, it will take a sec to type...

1. The human species was nomadic and formed settlements over vast areas therefore self segregading themselves allowing for individualistic and geographically specific interpretations on creation.

2. There are always unhappy people who believe that they can adapt and evolve their current religion into a better religion (look at the denominations of christianity)

3. No one religion has everything that every personitity would want, therefore, cultures have tailored religions to adapt to sociological specificities.

4. The human mind is a creative machine, able to fabricate unknown amounts of ideas, wants and desires... sometimes without even knowing they are doing it, or interpreting it as real events.

Answer 3

Different beliefs and boundaries. One religion could have developed in China while another in Jerusalem. Back then there was no way to communicate rapidly, so, just like culture, they developed separatley. Soon enough, you have sects which become their own religion, or other religions with the same ideas as another, etc.

Answer 4

Many are trying to make themselves a God that they can feel comfortable with. Instead they need to look at what God wants us to be.


Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.

But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.

If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.

The Good Person Test.

How will you do? Pass or fail?


Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?

Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?

Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?

Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?

See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?

If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.

Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.

The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.
