    Fear of Infinity

    Thanks again for the replies. Can I ask Sybarus to clarify what they said? "I think this says a lot more about your situation (and sheds light on the evolution of religion) than fear of being bored for an eternity." <all

    Fear of Infinity

    Thanks again for the responses. I have understood everything everyone has said, but I'm working on it! The thing that is puzzling me now is - if God designed us to be in a relationship with him (I think drich said this) then why won't he offer a second chance after death? Like, if an atheist...

    The Value of Progression

    Thanks for the replies. I'm still confused about the logic behind Jesus' death. The message seems to be "humans can't make it into heaven because they have committed sins. Jesus takes there sins away. Humans are allowed into heaven" - is that correct or am I misrepresenting Christianity? Is...

    The Value of Progression

    Hi again, I've just taken "The Good Test" and I'm very confused. It seems to be saying that God waives a person's wrongdoing if they believe in Jesus - so he's not really forgiving the person, he's just shifting the blame onto someone else? I don't understand how that is "justice" Also, one of...

    The Value of Progression

    Thanks for all the replies. So am I right that Christianity *does* progress? I just wonder because with all the changes in society it seems to me that some religions are trying to "keep up" with all the changes. It's probably best if I give an example. Like homosexual vicars in the Church. As...

    The Value of Progression

    Hi, I was wondering what Christians thought about the apparently unprogressive nature of the Christian faith. As I understand it, Christians get their teaching from the Bible, which they either perceive as infallible or, at the very least, would not change or alter over the years. Other areas...
