well, you are lucky then.

again the Pope or the Vatican can say that it's OK believing on flying pigs, but if I'm not a catholic i should not give a dime.
I still don't get it. why people feel so threaten for an individual or a group of individuals that these same people hold as lunatics?

I don't imagine I could ever let someone else tell me what I can and cannot believe. It's just beyond my comprehension. It's like being married.

Peace is within.

Peace is knowing that nobody is right.

We are all barking up the wrong tree like idiots.

So have fun, drink wine and play well.

It is all a game, after all.

because they are angels

sssshhhhhhhhhzzzzzzzzzzzzzz i thought everyone knew that

calm yourself girlfriend...he has no faith...if he did he wouldn't need to expound

wouldn't need to dominate or prove his points....just like those he says would never enter the religious threads if they were certain of their ideas...

he is the mirror ....of what the evils of these insideous belief systems have done to humanity...


we can just be compassionate and keep our humour


indeed

You know, I'm a christian, son of a minister, and I wasn't the least offended by the question. Of course, as a christian, I'm supposed to be very difficult to offend. Seems some haven't learned this discipline yet.

The bible tells all Christians that they will be mocked and persecuted for their belief. And we are not to continence such mockery. Arguing with those who do not share our beliefs destroy the fabric of our faith. A faith based of forgiveness and compassion. Somewhere, around 400 A.D. we forgot that, and became a religion of convert or burn. If you can't get back to forgiveness and compassion for the least of all humans, you'll be burning right next to the athiest and wondering "why was my service not enough?"

Anoasis.

You can do better than that.

I respect your views.

learn some sensitivity of Christians' as well

Anything that rewadrs smugly reducing Christian beliefs into a bizarre characature of thoughtless and irresponsible ludicrousy exhibits the double standard of the elitist mentality that assumes Christians are always on the attack.

Your own post suggest that your opinion and any opinion other than one consistent with yours is not above ridicule of beliefs that escape your own narrow world view, but it also displays your contemptible approval of lighthearted ridicule of Christian thought and discourse.

The implication by your remarks displays the rampant contempt for Christianity shared by you and your friends that have the self righteous arrogance to belttle callously any belief not congruent with your own views and subject to further disdain and insult with your offensive and divisive complaints for sharing views intolerably not congruent with your own.


Your insensitive and opinionated epithet upon my person is an example of the abusive bad manners that are overlooked by you, at the very least.

It takes the attention and awareness raised of callous indifference and ridicule to ferret out the quiet contempt and subtleties of abusive discourse emblematiccally displayed in your remarks and accusatory pontification of licentious and elitist views and opinions to raise the NECESSARY awareness of the very insensitive and thoughtless cruelties that seize Christianity as the assumingly indefensible image to reflect your own shortcomings.

It is precisely the body of Christian thought that speaks to erase such attitudes and behavior from the conscious content and character of man and pursue the nobler cause of mutual respect and dignity that you would enjoy and assume only applies to your own world view.

The intolerance of your contempt is the very heart of Christian morality, but that eludes your own misappropriation of the very concept, at the very least.

This is a perfect example of the hypocrisy and ill will that is running rampant in these threads by haters.


Get over yourself. Mean wwhat you say and say what you mean.

It is what it is.

learn, grow and be at peace.

We had a discussion about that on our "Christian aliens" forum.
Some Christians were insulted.

But now we have the Pope to back us up. LOL

Walker...God NEVER sends anyone to hell!!
NEVER!!
We send ourselves there by rejecting Jesus !

BUT.....God will give man every opportunity to HEAR about the Lord Jesus , and to Recieve Jesus as thier Lord !!

And those that have not heard?
God will NOT hold them accountable(like babies for instance)....

But I believe God will still even reach those somehow, who have not had opportunity to hear about Jesus thier Saviour.
God STILL will reach them somehow...even in the last hour ...even thru sending ministering angels if neccessary......but God WILL SOMEHOW, see to it that every man HEARS!!

And then the decision is left up to every man to recieve or not recieve Jesus into their heart as their Saviour!!

Walker....again.... God is NOT going to send millions to hell..cause again God doesn't send ANY to Hell.... man sends himself there..by rejecting Jesus the Saviour sent for all mankind !!

BUT... gonna share something else here....I have known atheists, who have accepted Jesus on their death beds!!!

And what I am saying here is..... a lot of people PROTEST against ACCEPTING JESUS NOW, as their Saviour and Lord...but one day they WILL Recieve Him..they just don't know that yet..and God is very patient.
Right now they are rejecting Jesus cause they just don't quite undestand yet.... But again..God is Patient.

But for SOME out there ...God is dealing with You RIGHT NOW..and NOW is the Time for Salvation for You..Do NOT Reject HIM anymore..cause this is youor opportunity to ACCEPT Jesus ...NOW....not tomorrow.

TODAY is the Day of Salvation!!

And You know WHO you are .

BUT......for those whom God reaches out to..even at the last minute?
Even on their deathbed?
And they still WON'T recieve Jesus, even Then... in their last dyingg breath???

Then THOSE are the ones God is talking about going to hell.

Cause if someone rejects Jesus.....EVEN in thier last breath ....then Jesus CAN'T go against his WORD and suddenlly change his WORD..just to save that one who is rejecting Him now...even on his deathbed!!
Comprende?

BUT .. I bet there are VERY FEW who will reject Christ, right before they die.

But why WAIT that Long?

Point is.......although some people may protest against Jesus NOW..but one day they will recieve..casue the Word WILL become CLEAR to them ...about Jesus as Lord....but they are just not understanding right now..that's all.
But GOD AIN'T done with them!!

I truly believe ....that most people before they leave this world, will have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Cause God Will give them chance after chance to Hear..and One day, it just sinks in.
Amen?

Point is... MOST people will eventually accept Jesus.
They just don't know it yet.

Believe or Burn in Hell are not your options. Your options are Believe or Don't Believe. Period. The Burn in Hell part only comes in if you believe and then turn your back on him.

If I have to preach, I'd preach love and salvation not fear and condemnation.
...preaching through the life of the person. In consequence, others will see and know that the Lord lives in the evangelizer.

Hey TLW

No Im talking to the OP. I know he is to fearful to really stand up for what he believes here. I on the other hand, am 100% sure that we will all be here in a year. (even 2,)

well folks, I'm not usually the one to just bellow out with this and there will be many who prolly have a lot to say about what I'm about to say.....but so be it. My fellow humans....we have reached a mark in history in which none of us wanted to come...or at least...some of us...blew it off as if to say it wasn't coming. The day of judgement is coming near. Everything predicted is coming to pass and none or at least most on earth are not ready.The Economy,wars,earthquakes,floods,cyclones,volcanoes,tornadoes.......read revelations people. My friends....I wish you all the best from here on out. If you all are believers as well, then you know what I have been typing here and you know I am right. He says we shall know the season but not the exact time....well, my friends.......it is here and I wish all of you the best of luck and keep looking up....he says the signs will be in the heavens and when you hear my voice you shall know that he has arrived. Best of luck all........

Last night I had a dream and in that dream I saw a quantum matrix of energy in which our reality existed.

This energy held precise information which had repeating patterns.

Within these repeating patterns life existed and grew in a three (or more) dimensional space of an unknown shape.

The thing that stood out most was that these were repeating patterns, exact and precise in their movements, and the life forms within this matrix moved about withing these patterns, and yet the patterns remained the same.

I don't know what it meant, if it meant anything at all. It was like the Matrix, only it was a multi-dimensional set of patterns. Like a computer program that was turned on.

I got the feeling that in the twinkle of an eye, someone could turn it off and unplug it and everything would just disappear.

How presumptious to think that we could truly comprehend the nature of the creator?

Yeah really,... we should at least try to figure ourselves out first.

People claim to know God and they don't even know who they are themselves. It's the epitome of absurdity.

okay sorry
