WBC is not a church at all.. It is a cult. It is a small number of people with a charasmatic leader who believe that that specific church is the only one making it to heaven, and everyone else is damned. They do not preach the love of Jesus at all, only hate speech. It wouldn't supprise me...

Thats horrible... Link plz?

I'm slightly confused as to how police having to escort these people off of private property because they refused to leave qualifies as persicusion. Either way, these people were genuinly showing the everlasting love of Christ. They were truly doing the Lord's work. This is exactly what...

When Nineva heard that they could be saved, they converted imediatly. So obviously they didn't know beforehand. They also had a solid reputation of being immoral and evil, so based on that I think it's safe to assume that there were peoplewho lived and died before Jonah was able to...

:O... I didn't know that

People always think I'm anorexic.. (or however you spell it :P) even though I'm average weight for my height. I would be willing to bet this is only a problem in America.. Can someone back me up on that?

I agree. Christians also have buiness playing football, hockey, or lacrosse. (waaaay too violent)

I think that if machines are keeping them alive, then it is acceptible to pull the plug. By using machines, you are playing God. However, I don't think people can hang themselves when they stub their toe.

When the sword was pulled out to defend a loved one from being killed, Jesus said "he who lives by the sword dies by it"

Hmmm.. I had been wondering how this whole situation would turn out, thanks for posting

It's easy to justify a war when the other side "started it" How convenient that both sides can make that claim..

It would be rather sad if the first option were true.. Never even being given the chance to know God, and then being tormented forever? Number 2 makes more sense in my head, but are there any passages to back up either theory? And could there be any truth to the (catholic?) idea that Jesus...

Why did God pick one people group to associate himself with in the old testament? Does the fact that he never gave any of the other nations a chance mean they all go to hell?

I don't know that he's actually looking for answers in order to become part of the faith, but I believe he would listen to my responses, and once he relizes that he has the wrong impression.. You never know.. Thanks for the advice, I hadn't been around this site enough to know that it was...

Are they the same? Is knowing rejection of God the equivilent of belief in another faith, (whether you were raised that way, or whether you decided that something made more sense than Christianity) will they be judged the same, or will simple non believers be given a little slack?

Thanks for the insights! :) what if I directed him to this site, and had him start his own thread? (I would have him pm you, but I'd really like to see where this goes.) after looking at the guidlines, I assume this probably isn't the right section for him. Where should I direct him to?

It would be more for me than for him. Obviously God doesn't need me to defend him, but like I said, I too have a few of these questions on a much smaller, less angry level. And finding answers for them can only strengthen my faith, right?

Those are defenatly good verses to leave him with, but I think it's important to actually be able to defend my faith, God doesn't call us to just be blind and ignore others arguments against him, and I believe discussing with a non believer can only strengthen my faith and answer some questions...

Before I send anything, I know how he would respond. He would ask why God's punishments had to extend to all of the children. This was one of his main arguments, so he would be sure to bring it up.

I am a conservative Christian, and one of my atheist/ex-Christian friends sent me this e-mail. I don't know how to respond, advice? "Now.. I'm not sure I want to be convinced that your beliefs are true, because if they are, (according to Hebrews 6:4-6) I'm eternally screwed and have no hope...
