We don't even know what heaven IS anyway, whether a solid material place or a purely spiritual realm, as there are Bible verses suggesting both.I tend to go with the 'spiritual realm' notion, where the essence of what we are is absorbed into a great 'Soul Pool' where all our souls intermingle...

(lastsecman;15469) Did Paul say even he's unsure wether he himself is saved or not??? Yes, he showed great humbleness by saying it, and is an example to us all not to drop our guard by assuming we're saved -OSAS by MickSome christians believe in OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved) which means they...

Yes I think its Walken, the pic must be from one of his films

Here's a speculation on one possible form of hell -REINCARNATIONISTS HIT THE BUFFERS by MickReincarnation-cultists think there's no heaven, no hell, just an endless cycle of rebirths.Ha ha ha we can just imagine Satan whispering in their ears - "Psst don't worry about hell, you'll get re-born...

(Wakka;15482) Ah good point. So the only Jews that will make it to heaven will be those from before the time of Christ's birth? If they kept the commandments I'm sure the ancient Jews are in with a chance, but it's the Jews who came after Jesus who are in grave trouble for rejecting him as the...

(lastsecman;15352) then why is it that some people in the Old Testament like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob also reached the Father without Christ?? Unlike ordinary people, they had a 'special relationship' with God, who allowed them to tap directly into the holy spirit which existed long before it...

(Wakka;15475) Yes, God still loves Jews. They still worship the same Yahweh don't they?.. I don't understand..How can Jews love God if they disobey him?"This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, listen to him" (Matthew 17:5)Also they deny that Jesus is the Messiah - "A liar denies Jesus...

Don't get me wrong, I like most Jews, they're warm friendly people but the bottom line is they reject Jesus, and what I can't understand is why they think they've done no wrong?Surely this is clear enough - Jesus said:- "Whoever rejects me rejects God" (Luke 10:16)Can anyone help me understand...

Which saves, water or Jesus?

Although Buddha made good efforts to discover The Truth, he was nevertheless just a human like the rest of us, and his ideas were therefore just his own guesses, opinions and hunches, and sometimes wide of the mark.For example he believed it possible to be re-born out of hell.Huh, as if hell is...

If psychic powers do exist, why is it no psychic has ever claimed James Randis million-dollar prize for PROVING they exist?MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE - http://www.randi.org/research/Excerpt - "At JREF, we offer a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions...

Yes, and there's another aspect of tongue-speaking that needs to be looked at - possible demonic possession.Naturally I'm not saying all tongue-speakers are possessed, but consider this -A well-known young woman poster on the religious boards who is a church-going christian once said that she...

There's another danger with tongues that we tend to forget - I was with several friends in a cafe having a coffee when a young street-preacher came in and we invited him to join us,even though we vaguely knew him from the past and he had a slight reputation for being a 'false christian'.After a...

(Jon-Marc;15402) There are things in the Bible that I have a serious problem with following. One is "Turn the other cheek." Yes but have you thought maybe the fault is yours for making anyone want to hit you in the first place.. Nobody has ever hit me in my life because I'm such an easy-going...

The further we go back in history, the lesser were the people spiritually-evolved (generally speaking).For example a lovely Christian woman on another board told how her parents threw her out of the house when she fell pregnant out of wedlock as a young girl, and that was only 35 years...

I was brought up by my parents and society to be a wimp and always do what the world told me to do. I tried but i was very unhappy because the world was crazy and I wanted nothing to do with it.Then in my mid-teens i looked at the Bible and discovered that Jesus was on my side because he said...

Atheists say "we can't detect God with our 5 human senses, therefore he doesn't exist".But what they don't seem to realise is that our senses are thoroughly unreliable..!For example our eyes and brain tell us the wheels below are revolving, but in fact they're perfectly still..

(tim_from_pa;15330) Thanks for that link to the simulator download, Mick. I'll have to play around with it for awhile to get the feel. I'm not a very good astronaut at this point I fear. Yes its complex, I've only scratched the surface of it myself but I know just enough key-presses and...

(thesuperjag;15324) The answer is no, we should not do prayers if they don't want us to do it.... Agreed..Yet another tricky question springs to mind - Suppose someone who we don't know (for example somebody on a religious message board) offers to say a prayer for us, should we first ask them if...
