Okay. I wont refute that. Would you say then you have made up your mind on this? Has that answered your question? You have put forth some seemingly solid evidence that the soul does not sleep, rather goes to it's destination.

That makes perfect sense. And you are right when speaking of comparing archaeological facts. If you don't know what you are doing it wont end well. But you are very close to what I was asking in the OP in regards to the physical evidence. Thank you!! :)

Right? Ha Ha Ha!! Maybe the earth breaks open, exposes the core, then the non-believers are cast into there. The earths core is comparable.... ??? *Shrugs*

I actually agree with 7angels. I have stated my opinion on this matter before. If you are honestly capable of being deceived by a false prophet, then you never knew Him to begin with. If you have to question whether or not this person is the messiah or not, then you have doubt. And doubt is not...

This has been a great point of debate. It has been said by others that we "sleep" upon our natural or Earthly death. And we awake on Judgment day. From there we are either joined with Him or suffer a spiritual death which is condemnation. I cant recall where, but it does say in scripture (NT)...

Hey, he picked a place on Earth so I figured I would entertain that thought. Can I think of any other place on Earth? No. I don't think it is anything or anywhere we can point out now. I feel it will be something to be seen only when the time is here.

With the Bible being full of many metaphorical parables, is it possible, that in this instance, the lake of fire on Earth is a metaphor for a turbulent region?

Good point. We as Christians are also the only ones who have the oldest book ever written and was not written by a "modern day" prophet. Thank you Phoneman777. :)

I like that answer. :) How about this angle. Do any of you, as Christians have any examples that divine intervention could be the only reasonable explanation for something that has happened in your life? Would you use it as an argument?

Okay, ATP. I can roll with that. :) So, at what point do we go with what ATP suggests and at what point, atheist aside, do we step up to the plate and do what Christ has called us to do? As ATP suggested, it is possible that Satan is trying to tempt us. What would be your deciding factor? Thank...

Okay, that's a reasonable answer. Is it not possible though, you may have missed an opportunity to bring someone to Christ. Now, in that, the atheist was challenging you, you were not challenging God. Is using Matt 4:5-7 maybe a bit out of context for the situation?

That whole mess is misguided. I sense distain for God in that post. I also see someone who does not know Him. So, my question is, why do you have such an opinion? To answer what Angelina quoted. God does allow suffering but man chose that. We have free will as His creations. We chose for there...

That's fair, but I'll further the challenge... An atheist says "I will take Christ as my personal Lord and savior if you can show me He is here, right now." The challenge that lies in there is you can either answer his question to the best of your ability or you can say "I don't have to explain...

Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV) 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

There was a similar topic started a while back "Questions for an atheist." I don't think the question it's self was properly posed. So, what I propose is this: How can you prove, with credibility and evidence, that God does in fact exist? Now, I would like to ask, that if possible, when using...

Have you looked into the stipulations of an annulment where you live? Where I live, I have to essentially prove I entered the marriage under false pretenses or coercion. I could possibly have mine annulled as I was told by her I had to marry her or she would take my daughter out of state back...

Regardless of why he got the haircut, the haircut it's self is priceless LOLOLOL

That's funny you posted that... I am getting ready to sell my house so I can rent a place and not be tied into a mortgage. LOL Makes it easier to move for work.

Interesting point with (1) I am Presbyterian... or was... But I recently went back to see how they were doing.... And you know what the message was? It was on receiving the Holy Spirit and being born again.... Just sayn... BA out!

The text I highlighted in bold is more true than one might think. I learned that exact thing during my divorce. I could not move on unless I was able to forgive. I had to forgive her, but I could not do that until I forgave myself. I was filled with so much guilt about the things I felt I did...
