    What information does the Bible give us about what hell is like?

    The Bible makes it clear that no amount of works can satisfy God, and that he requires belief in him. So does a man who many would say lived a moral life, helped others, and donated his life savings, but wasn't a believer in Jesus be burning in hell just as badly as Hitler would? I have heard...

    In a rare scenario, if a Christian were to be falsely imprisoned and beaten, should they confess to something they didn't do to stop the beating?

    There are actual real cases of this, in which they are later found innocent. Where are Christians to stand on this? Because they are lying when they say they are guilty in order to stop the beatings, but I do understand that they want the beating to stop. Should they tell the truth always...

    Do we have any real examples of Born Again Christians falling away from the faith forever never to return?

    Every single story I hear goes something like this. Someone grew up in a family that was religious, they went to Church and did Church activities, they never took it seriously or wanted to go to Church but went because their family made them, and now as they got older, they no longer go. So now...

    Some people believe in a works based salvation

    So what happens to the person who believes a faith based salvation, but lives a Holy righteous life, and repented of every sin and died in a sinless state? Can a sinless state be achieved? Does the person who believed that works had nothing to do with going to heaven not make it, or is that...

    If a man or woman is not a virgin what are they not allowed to do now according to the Bible?

    Must they now remain celibate now for the remainder of their life and never marry? I am getting mixed answers when looking for this online. What does the Bible conclude? Statistics now show that the vast majority of people are not virgins before marriage.

    What do you think is important for a Christian to figure out about the God and the Bible?

    I believe Salvation is by far the most important, and also knowing who God is, and how God is. The Trinity. After that I believe it is important that a Christian should know what is sin and what is not, and to live a Godly life according to God's rules. Then they should learn about the end times...

    Yes or No. Looking for a discussion here, where Christians share their views on the matter. Some things to note are. 1. How will this benefit society? 2. Is this something God would want? 3. What risks will be eliminated?

    What denominations have Communes and what do you think about them?

    Some things I hear and don't quite understand. Is for some communes if you leave them you are not welcomed back and if you are you are treated never the same. You will eat lunch at a table alone, maybe you can sit with your family but with no one else. And you might not be allowed to the...

    Have to buy a brand new car by today, any suggestions?

    Thank you, this helped me decide on what to get. I'm surprised that I would have to wait a whole month though to get the car because there is a car shortage. But im sure it will be worth it.
