A fellow Christian friend of mine was saying today that although we are given eternal life through Jesus that we will still get punished for our bad deeds and rewarded for our good ones. Now I thought that when we are standing at the judgment of God's throne Jesus will plead our case and say...

At a Bible study today the leader's wife was telling our table (much off topic too, dont' remeber who asked what to prompt her to say this) but she said when we die we don't go to heaven but to Abraham's Bosom in the earth. She said we'll be with the lord in the New Jerusalem. I said, well the...

In Genesis 3 Eve tells the serpent that "God said not to eat or touch the fruit of the tree in the center of the garden." But God did not say that she couldn't touch it. Just not to eat it. I know this says something very important about human nature, but I don't know what it is. Any thoughts?

Do Muslims claim to be children of Ishmael (the son of Abraham and Hagar)? I've heard that many do.

The trinity is def. one of the most difficult concepts about God to understand. How can God be three and one at the same time? Many people reject God being three persons of one nature on principle. Romans 1:19-20 says, "19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made...

I can recall a few stories in the Bible where someone possessed by a demon willingly coming up to Jesus then saying something along the lines of "Why are you tormenting me, Son of God?" Well something similar happened to me two days ago. I was getting off the BART (a subway system throughout...

Being a Christian I don't delve into other religions too much, but it seems to be that Christianity as a whole is scoffed at a whole lot (I've been accused of being "closed minded" because I stand on the authority of God's word). I was just wondering what you guys think is the most scoffed at...

Someone told me a few things about Islam that I'm curious about if they are true or not. 1. The Quran says it's OK to lie if it promotes the religion in any way. 2. It's OK to beat your wife. 3. Women are inferior to men (made from a "crooked rib").

While reading my Bible today I ran across something interesting that Jesus said. At the beginning of John 10 Jesus is talking about being the good shepherd, and then talks about his sheep who know him (obviously the Christians who choose to follow him). Then he says in verse 16: "I have other...

How do those Muslims who think if you kill an infidel then you're guaranteed access to heaven justify such a beleif?

Anyone heard of this guy before? http://www.shareintl.org/ Seems like a good candidate for the Antichrist to me.

I'm glad you asked. Historically: The Bible has been proven to be 99.8% historicaly accurate. Archaeologist have dug up numerous cities mentioned in the Bible previously thought to be mere myths, and were in the exact loacation stated in the Bible. Many other cities (such as Sodom and...

Hello, last thursday, I was talking to some Muslims at my school about Islam, but there were some things about it that didn't really make sense to me. I am a Christian, and I was wondering if anyone can help clarify these for me: 1) Muslims belive that to get to heaven all you have to do is ask...

Last night I had a dream that my cat was dying. He had already died back in October, but I never cried about it, despite how much I loved him and missed him. But I cried in my dream (even though he wasn't quite dead in my dream, yet). Then I was wondering if I'd get to see him again in Heaven...

This is a question my dad has wondered (he's never read the Bible, but is Christain). The book of Revelation states how Satan will be tormented in Hell forever and ever. So why did Satan think he can take on God? He should know he can't overpower his own creator. Well I pondered this and I...

I noticed in the book of Revelations that it says at one point the sea will turn to blood and 1/3rd of the ships on the sea will be destroyed. We are approaching the age of more modern space travel, what with President Bush signing someting about a Lunar Base to be made by 2010, I belive; and...

Hi, I'm new here, this is my first post. I'm a christian, and I smoke pot. Something I've wondered is wether God put weed on the Earth for our use. The bibles says your body is a temple, and not to defile it [meaning don't do drugs]. But what exactly does God consider a drug? One...
