Qs about being religious thread

deletedalmost 8 years

In real life lately, I have had a lot of good questions from non-Christians (Muslim, Jew, Hindu, etc) about being Christian and our beliefs. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask them here. I am open to respectful discussions on this matter here or in PM. I am a Christian, but I have soul searched on this topic a lot over the years..

i had first communion do i get to go to heaven even if i just made that jesus joke?


John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God expects humans to be perfect, but we can't be perfect because we are by definition human. In the old Jewish way, one had to make animal sacrifices (or sometimes even human) regularly to appease your sin. God loved us too much for this system that he came to earth in human form and died on a cross to be that permanent sacrifice for our sins. By this way we can be closer to God than we could in the old Jewish way. We can spend eternity with him, if we believe that he paid our sin sacrifice. With this we can grow closer to God on earth, but by no means can we be perfect.

I believe that no matter what you do, you can go to heaven if you believe in his sacrifice. Even Hitler could be in heaven, if he believed this. All sin is sin to God, no matter what it is, and we need the sacrifice to pay for it....

crap i just gassed all this jews, but thats ok cause god made me do it, if he didnt like it, why didnt he stop me??


Your gassing is a bad example, Hitler was atheistic and hated Christianity. One of the biggest ironies of recently is that the white nationalism today loathed islam. Where as Hitler like the robustness of it and Rockwell in the states used the phrase "Muslim Nazis".

Anyway most modern Christians believe that God doesn't send commandments for war after the death of Christ. Popes just used religion for political reasons and retaliations to being invaded.

Most of Christianity is based around submitting. Not just to God but those that rule over you too.

you dont need to make the world a better place, cause u r going to heaven anyways!!!! let the poor starve, who cares, they r probably sinners anyways, otherwise god would help them get food!!


Dude this is not true. God teaches you to care for others. He does not expect you to be perfect. He forgives you and you grow closer to him, and become more like him. When you become like him, you help and care for people. Many Christians and non-Christian help those in need a lot. There are limited options in Germany here, but I would volunteer at least once a week when I was in the USA because I wanted to help people.

3. no stress of trying to be perfect when you cant - yes just the stress of trying to be things u cant, like hetero when gay, or just the stress of fcking up and going to hell


This is why we have the holy spirit from God. It can help you over come things. Sometimes you may not be able to overcome things like being gay, but that is fine. God died for your sins.

Human nature (men especially is to want to * everyone-excuse my terminology), but people are still mostly monogamous. why? People can learn to control certain things. Some people cant but that is okay because God knows we can't be perfect

What great benefit will your religion bring me mt01


peace:
1. you can see dead love ones again
2. when bad things happen you know that you will still be okay
3. no stress of trying to be perfect when you cant
4. In general there is more peace and happiness every day

love/friendship: you have someone that will love you for yourself no matter what you do and they will be a great friend to you where no human can do this.


Ignorance is indeed bliss, just keep your mouth shut though alright?

u r graduating biology and u think evolution peaks when u r rational, u r doing a bad job


i didn't say anything close to that. you want me to have said that because you want to look smart. i said that there's an immeasurably massive disjunction between the capabilities of one species and its basal counterpart which i have a hard time attributing to a pretty insignificant divergence
