Well, the Bible says that anyone who does not accept Christ as their Savior cannot enter into Heaven and have eternal life. But, even though I'm a Christian, I hate the idea of "good" people going to hell simply because they were raised in a family that follows another religion or something...

phred~ God gave us all the gift of free will, so he cannot stop people from doing anything they are determined to do, even if they are doing it in his name. It is true that he will forgive them if they truly realize that what they've done is wrong and ask for his forgiveness, but you shouldn't...

do i think ateists are evil?? NO! of course not. I think satan is evil and often times WE ALL ( not just atheists ) give into his temptations which is definitely wrong, but I would never ever call anyone evil because of what they believe!! Please please know that whoever you heard saying that...

Hi Harold, that's a good question! hmm, i'm not too sure what I would do if I had proof that there was no God, but like you said, that will never happen. It definitely would be very hard for me to accept though. I wouldn't want to believe it, that's for sure! "If there is no such thing as...

No one deserves to go to heaven because we have all sinned. However, God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to die for us just so we could have another chance to go to Heaven. Since you seem so interested in free will, I'll put it this way, God doesn't choose to send you to hell, it's you...

Well, I'm sure the pastor you talked to would be happy to help answer all of your questions. The Bible really is from God. He had lots of different people help write the Bible, but it all came from Him. It is to help us all understand God and His love for us. I don't think he literally means...

OK, I would say ignore everyone that's saying discouraging things about wanting to be a Christian. Try reading the Bible and finding some books that will help you learn about Christianity. Also, it's good to get involved in a church. You don't need to start of by accepting Jesus into your heart...

I don't believe that God caused any of that to happen, but he probably could've stopped it from happening if he needed to. The thing is, if God were to protect us from every bad thing in life, we would never learn much. We wouldn't understand that we need his protection and it would be harder...

I don't know about every church's offering, but at ours giving money is completely your choice and I know that especially on your first day no one would think anything of you not putting money in it. The way it works for us is about halfway through the service they pass the offering plates down...

I think this is something we couldn't understand because we're not God. Also, I don't think we need to understand it because we're not God.

PS~ I've been a Christian for almost 4 years and haven't been baptized, so I don't think people will try to pressure you into it, but if you want to look into it I'm sure they'd be happy to help

Hi! I think it's really cool that you want to start going to church. Well, I dont know too much about the different kinds of Christian churches, and since I dont know you either I'm not sure where you'd feel the most comfortable. I use to go to an Episcopalean ( sp? ) church, but I felt like...

" When the Son of Man comes again, it will be as it was when Noah lived. People were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving their children to be married until the day Noah entered the arc. Then the flood came and killed them all. It will be the same as during the time of Lot. People were...

I trust God with all my heart and I dont think he would consider anything that we can't control and don't choose to do a sin. But, I definitely don't believe that being homosexual gives you a ticket straight to hell and I think any Christian who believes that needs to turn the page in their...

I agree that Christianity is the only true religion, but how can you ever convert others if you don't understand their beliefs?

OK, these are fictional books we're talking about!! You'll find them in the fiction section of a library! They got kids reading and have obviously sparked a lot of interest since we're all sitting here talking about them like we have nothing better to do. If they're introducing kids to magic...

That's interesting, I didn't know that, Thanks for the information!

I definitely didn't mean that I'm just following my religion to get into Heaven. I was thinking more about how motivated I am to tell others about how awesome God is and try to get them to believe because I don't want them to go to hell. If everyone goes to heaven than it wouldn't matter quite...

For those of you who say the death penalty is fair punishment to those who take someone's life, do you realize that that means doing the same thing to them that they are being punished for???? The Bible clearly says not to kill. People can be converted to Christianity while in jail for one...

I really don't understan why a woman shouldn't be able to be a pastor if she is gifted in that area. i know plenty of women who would be much better pastors than a lot of men, so why wouldn't God want them to?
