However, Chritians do tell lies on forums like this and in general, really. |
Some Christians get to heaven as described above. If you're a Catholic Christian, however, there are lots of rules, like missing mass and going to confession, etc., that determine whether or not you get to heaven. It really depends on the type of Christian you are. |
Are you a Christian? I ask because that wasn't a very Christian thing to say. |
You are a Christian. Why? Because I say so. People can say anything on the internet -- and some people will believe it. |
There are lots of different Christian beliefs. Roman Catholics, for instance, can say a few words right before death and ensure their place in heaven. |
You wish you could believe, though. You say you're not Christian, but maybe you are and you're just lying on line. People do it all the time. Christians too. Lying for Jesus!! |
Yes - fear not, my child. There are better atheists out there, somewhere. Right here, actually!. |
Not all Preists are sexual abusers, but no priests should be. The fact that some priests use their authority to harm children is horrible. |
“ Science focuses on studying the natural world through observation and experimentation. God is outside the realm of the natural world.”
says who? isn’t that just your own personal opinion? |
No, it's not pp's personal opinion. Religious people know that God is outside the realm of the natural world. God, for instance, if you believe in him, offers eternal life in heaven. Meanwhile, people who don't believe in God, or don't follow his rules, go to hell, according to people who believe in God (maybe it's just the Christian God who sends non-believers to hell, dunno.) People who don't believe in God, think they just die and go back to the earth the way all other animals do. |
God may be outside the scope of science, but stories in the Bible about things that supposedly happened in the natural world are testable, or at least can be shown to not be true. Where is there any archeological evidence for giants or a global flood? How about science shows that it would have been impossible to not only load two of every species on earth on an ark, but that populations would recover from such a reduced breeding pair? And, how did they make it to the South America and Australia? It's more like a court case. The jury has to weigh all the evidence presented and make a judgement. In this case, the votes should be unanimous. |
"how did they make it to the South America and Australia?" Right - it doesn't make sense, but that doesn't stop people from believing it. |
Answersingenesis has already answered these questions. |
Nope. Try again bible thumper. Most of Genesis has been debunked. Only the crazies believe any of it is true. |
I wonder why anyone loving god would standsby calmly watching genocides and natural disasters but becomes active with threats of hell if individuals miss one step. |
