Blah, blah, blah.
So much crap because of one question.
1) Yes, there really is a God, a one true God.
2) Yes, there is also salvation.
3) Put the arguing to rest.
4) Faith is so simple even a child can understand it. That is all you need. Faith and a one on one relationship with God.
These are the basics.
If you don't believe in God or that there is a heaven, then I hope you won't mind spending all eternity in hell. After all, if you intend to spend your entire life here, denying God's existence and all things related to Him, then I suppose you won't mind if He denies you for all eternity.
Think of it like this: If there is a person you know, but you refuse to have a friendship with him, buy one day you find out that he is going to give away all that he has at this huge party. You also find out that you won't be invited, Why? Because he's only inviting his Friends So, at the last minuet, you try to strike up a friendship with him , but by then it's too late. Wouldn't you just go away kicking yourself for refusing him?
I would suggest, that if you haven't yet, accept a relationship with God now. Right now!

This is the best gift anyone could ever receive. I accepted God's gift December 23, 2001. To those of you who are being slanderous, God is a loving God. He doesn't want to punish you but you make it to where He has to, like a parent punishing a child. It really breaks His heart to see his children out in the world sinning, refusing to believe that He is real, and saying that He is something that He is not. When He comes back to gather His children home, then all you non-believers WILL believe, but then it will be too late. Thank God my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life along with all the others who believe.

'I hope the unbelievers remember that when the time comes if they take the 'mark of the beast' that will seal their doom.
Science has proved DNA could not have 'bumped' into it's integrated complexity forming our bodies. There is Noah's Ark, the Shroud of Turin, many Holy relics confirming the Exodus, the parting of the Red Sea, a replica of the 'Ark of the Covenant and Bible prophesy being fulfilled that God has left as clues.
Many say there are many religions to choose from--do they think there are more than one God? I respect other people's cultures but if they want to know God sent Jesus, who was without sin, to conquer death hell and the grave for all who believe on Him.
God is Spirit and does not recognize a 'fleshly' creature into His Kingdom. He says never knew you' but if someone on their dying breath says 'Jesus' w/meaning He will gladly receive them in. That's Grace.

Sin is part of the issue. In order to be forgiven for something, one first believe in sin. We must first confess our sins and then repent. To repent means to turn. We choose to turn from one life to accept the life of Christ. I have accepted that life of Christ that is filled by the spirit of God. Nothing can compare to the satisfaction and the love of Christ. Nothing comes close to the peace that I have knowing that God is with me at all times -- always by my side, always holding my hand in my hard times. Nothing beats that.

Belief that some soul layed upon a cross and suffered for you does not constitute any manner of faith whatsoever. Much to the contrary the same demands undeniable gluttony, evidence of the crude vulgar nature which now intends dominance in the world. Faith exists as mere matter of fact that your existence became a reality due the love of something much greater than you. Faith may only be evidenced through intent at goodness, abstinence from evil device, and refusal to partake in theft from God. Salvation were granted to none, as not a one shall make any offer to abstain from routine evil.

Faith is a waste of time for anyone intelligent. I am humble and I have no problem accepting free gifts. His death is not something I consider a gift. I take full responsibility for my own transgressions. If a god wants to torture me for eternity than this god is a joke and so are the people who believe in it. Salvation is for people too weak to accept the reality of death.

Well I know what Minnie believes as a "Good Christian woman" She advocates me being shot because I got frustrated with my dog not being teritorial, and I want her to protect our home. But as Minnie states she truly has no faith not even about her teeth. I have been helping alot of people with things they could not afford to get fixed like plumbing or electrial items in their homes. Mostly elderly women on fixed incomes. I just happen to have some one pay for 3 gold crowns two bridges and all my teeth to be refilled. This is costing 5 thousand that I could not afford. So my only claim was treat others as you would want to be treated. I did tell every one that she needed to have the demons pryed out of her yahoo with the cross that she wears around her neck and that was in anger, But I do not claim spiritual perfection like she does and I cliam progress. But like I said any one who is mean spirited and claims their saintlyhood is no saint. My claim is a thoughtful caring person walking through life. Sometimes idiots like her p*ss me off but I then realize they are working on superstition as they did in the dark ages. Christians during the dark ages believed if they bathed they would be sure have demons attack them. This is well known and that is why they killed for purfume and spices. Then they go searching around the other side of the world and land on the carribean and kill those poor people who were supposedly Godless. The inquisition the sluaghter of thousands of natives, the slavery of its only kind in the history of man of racism and as property, all perpetuated by christians. The Romans did own slaves but they were able to buy thier freedom if they gathered the money. They were not also property like the slave were here in the Americas and each generation after. So as far as Christians go I have little respect for any who are like Minnie and any one who does not follow Christ. His most importamt commands were love God with all you Mind soul and strength, and to love your nieghboor as you would yourself. Minnie has no love for herself becuase she also made a lie against me. If you want to follow the history Go to my question I posted about my dog. You will see her true Christianity in action.

cool down mike .....
First try to understand before issuing - why do I need to have faith on your claim if it is true or why must you need to have faith in your religion or bible if it is true.
Second - Try to understand god is there . But God never made religion , indeed it was human -: men made religion - to strengthen and maintain their civilization , traditions , language culture , custom and historical legacy.
Next -: what ever you claim about sin and god is also told to me in almost similar fashion with similar redemptions and gifts and heavens and good life and great life by my religion as well - Besides you never seen or spoke to your god in earthly reality indeed same do I with mine hence why must I then abandon what was inherited and passed to me that was carried forward for thousands of years simply to surrender to your claim. - what time period are you living - the Jurassic Era.
Your religion never talk about the Jurassic era or Dinosours in Bilble be it in the genesis when the world was created or in NOAH's ark or anywhere it was not mentioned - but it is clearly mentioned in my religion , my religon speaks far more specific about human and human existence and their destinations though my religion is the oldest in this world - My religion talks about UNIVERSE and all its galaxies it creations and existence even before Christianity was conceived.
I have to go now - no time , finally I want to know in what damn sense you asked such an sarcastic question. Learn to respect others and others religion believe and faith. All the wars in this world happen because someone fail to respect . When the American failed to respect the sensitivity and faith of the Islamic religion and its people thus the 9/11 occurred.
Pardon me and forgive me if I stated anything wrong or hurtful - I'm not having a great time here as well.
