"Love is like fire. When you have it lit, it's warm, and mesmerizing. If you suddenly thrust your hand in it burns. But when the fire's out you are left cold, and wishing for it to come back." - Christina Marie Power (myself)

People like those
dont rely on God
and have faith in GOD

there fake belivers who just fallow
what they think they must
for its right but they still dont belive

besides if someone where to kill themself

They would be a coward for not facing life the way it is
and not having to deal with it

because we all die but just in time when
weve done what we were sappose to do

Misconceptions are easy to form . . . it may be even written somewhere?
The nature of life is hard to understand thus the aspect of existence beyond this life (world) could easily be misconstrued.
To perceive the nature of that which is beyond, would be arrogant or ignorant?

quote:
The bible states that "there is life after death . . . therefore in heaven my husband, Al & I will live in eternal bliss".
Basically isn't that what it says? . . . Hmm, A man & woman marry but the new does mention something about the institution (civil ceremony) & in fact the traditional Christian ceremony included vows That there exist some sort of spiritual relationship being cast here? A Union being formed.
But then again . . . didn't some people purpose to confront Jesus with this very issue? The widow who passes from one son to another & they ask whose wife should she be? I think He responded . .
quote:
{personal note: proceeding cap used as habit formed by reading certain versions)
That the in heaven this type of relationship didn't exist between the angels? In fact, I think it is described as being in {commune} "union with God"? So life of this world is separation from God and "afterlife" as being in some form of union with the Creator . . . God?

To the author of this page:
You said that cause your family was Christian and so you believed in it, right? Well, obviously, your family isn't you. You decide what to believe in, yes maybe the God, Adam and Eve, stuff etc. are getting a bit unrealistic to you. If you feel very uncomfortable about Christianity, then switch. Pretty straight forward, although as a FIRM believer in Christ, I am, here's an hint: try finding the right religion for you. The right, and comfortable beliefs that help your trouble right now. Although, I strongly, Strongly, STRONGLY, encourage you not to............*mumble, mumble* But if you do feel like there may be a way out within Christianity, try asking a local pastor for help, read the Bible, pray to God, (and *cough*kill Satan aka Lucifer for me or torture him at the Lake of Fire *cough*)---umm ooops srry, my allergies to uhh...never mind. As I was saying,.......yeah, that's about it, I know I might not be a big help or anything.....but yeah...... Good Luck with your decision, I know you'd find a way outta this

Hey, I know how you feel. I went through something simmilar.

I'll tell you anything you want on the subject of Christianity. I will not try and convert you if you don't want to be. I will not try to tell you that your wrong and going to hell (even if I believe it).

I believe whole-heartedly in christianity and the bible, but can look at other religions and ideas from your point of view.

I'll even play devil's advocate for you if you want.

And, although I may disagree with you, I won't hate you or stop you from being my friend just because you believe differently than I do.

Please Email/PM me. I'd love to talk with you about it. (that goes for all of you. ED)

You're not losing faith in "God," you're discovering that your understanding of what others have told you "God" is doesn't work for you. There's nothing wrong with that. Most of us start out believing what we're taught to believe, but it's really not what we're taught, but our perception of what is being taught. Personally, I believe "agnostic" is the only logical position, since there are some things we simply can not know, or at least, can not understand.

Our understanding can grow, but only if we are willing to discard what we think we know, and diligently devote our efforts to questioning everything, rather than attempting to defend what we are convinced we "know."
