    If the people you asked were true Christians, they would have welcomed the question and just said, "Well, we'll see when that time comes". I AM a believer in "? " but, not neccessarily everything in the bible, so I have no problem with your question. I'll live my life the best way possible and see what happens when I die.

    P.S. People who make blanket statements about a group of people (I.E. Christians) are just as dumb as they proclaim the other group to be.

    I would never say that. But do it in the correct forum. What he did is no different than those Westboro Baptist Church ? protesting at funerals. It's classless. You can have discussions without being a ? . Why go to the ? church if that's what you're gonna do? At bible study? Sure. Sunday School? yeah, I did it all the time. But after a service when usually emotions are high and people are feeling good to ask something like that. C'mon, bruh.

    so your saying as adults people cant control their emotions because they are riding high....
    so next time im all excited after my team won a close game, i can go outside and the moment a cop pulls me over an ruins the win...i can cuss him out?

    as adult we have to control our emotions.....why do churchs invite people to churchs if when they ask questions you get cussed out or have to wait until the right time to ask it. what if the question i want to ask helps me make my decision to become born again and turn my life over to christ but it may be stupid to a bible thumper....am i now turned away or did the lord just lose a potential follower because one of his followers cant control their emotions....

    i dont think im the one that needs to grow up

    never was the type that needed to provoke anyone....like the person above you said....could just say we'll see....or even sit me down and ask me questions or try to help me understand or believe ....

    why is it that when church people react different than what they preach.....its the other person that caused the problem?

    What if the people that turned there life over to the lord and promised to obey and follow Jesus. What if the day Jesus returned he took all his followers with him to "heaven". But then Jesus turned out to be an alien from another planet and he took his followers to another planet or a place called heaven and they were turned into slaves.

    so i got cussed out and called all types of lowlife atheists and what not. And when they asked why do i beilieve this or even have the guts to ask.....i took them about thinking outside the box and the sumerians and how they could have possibly been created to be slaves for an alien race and whatever....

    but why do people get so definsive about religion and just shut out anything else or any other possibility. but what if this did happen?

    The bolded sounds like something the anti-christ might say when he is revealed after the church leaves. There is a big lie coming when he is revealed. And I believe part of the lie will have something to do with "aliens". The social conditioning that the enemy has been propagating in regards to alien phenomena has increased drastically. I just pray that you will not be on the earth to know what the lie will be when the anti-christ is revealed.

    so every question you ever asked is a good question?
    what makes mine so cartoonish? is it the timing or the question?
    i thought is was never a such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people for not asking questions.

    see too many of yall dont think ouside the box or afraid to ask the ? ...if im in church and a majority of the people are supposed to be knowledgeable...then why not ask it then?

    i have to say respectfully...that it seems like you never answer questions...you come with more of a threat of if you dont follow ? or a roundabout way to say you better or else.

    kinda like saying...you can go ahead and stick your hand in the ? ...i just pray that the heat isn't on or it didnt start boiling yet

    What question is there to answer my friend? I commented on the part of your post I found most interesting. It was like a mini-revelation of sorts. The "lie" is coming and the signs are all around us. That's all.

    To ask such a question is just bad timing. It just may be an important question to you to have answered, but it shows no respect to the nature of the function.

    Church going people are some of the most gullible low intelligence sheep you will ever meet. They are taught a 2 thousand year old book is the end all be all and never question it.


    "? fear what they don't understand, hate what they can't conquer
    Guess it's just the fury of man"


    Nas

    Agreed 100%.......religious people who blindly follow 2,000 year old books that support slavery should have their intelligence questioned.

    I agree brotha. Too many people don't like to think outside the box and question what's going on around them. I see easily how Black folk were enslaved in America rather easily for 400 years. Black folk are very gullible, sadly.

    How bout if there was endless peace in heaven though? Can you imagine that? A world where locks are not needed in order to protect your belongings? A world where everybody smiles and is filled with love, not hate? I mean I can't even walk to the store in this world without somebody looking at me sideways, and I am a man of peace! But just imagine a world where you can smile at your brother, of any color, and the thought of harm is non-existent, with everybody! We will all be "our brothers keepers" in the kingdom to come! No one will hurt or harm at all in ? 's Holy Kingdom! I'm going to heaven, are you?

    It's a blessing to see and hear that there are people all around the world who still have integrity. But those people are few and far between compared with the majority. No offense Cap, but those aren't everyday occurrences for you. How often do you leave your door unlocked in your neighborhood? You can't honestly tell me that you trust everybody 100%? If you do your a fool.

    The world i'm talking about is far different than anything in this world. What do you know about perfection? A world where it's always 70 degrees 24/7-365? No night. No sweat. No tears. No pain. No hurt. No sickness. No death. No hate. No lying. No evil. No stealing. No bribes. No anger?

    What about a world like that? Doesn't that interest you in the slightest? A world where you can be at peace with not only ? , but with your neighbor, angels, and the animal kingdom? Total harmony with the Lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, Jaguars, hyenas, gorillas, etc?

    What about that world? Wouldn't you want to go there? A world that's 100 fold better than this world? A world where you will never feel guilty? Never feel ashamed? Never feel depressed? Never feel worried? Never feel anxious?

    How does that world sound my friend? I'm talking about a better place my brother. A place where your not judged on how big your wallet is, how much cash you got in the bank, how many degrees you have, or how big a house you live in?

    "1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in ? , believe also in me. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. "

    to me it would be quite unremarkable. only reason we appreciate those things is because we know pain/war/sadness/anger/hate/jealousy. part of the human experience. and since most things considered by us to be "fun" are in one form or another some type of sin, or involve some element or illusion of "danger". heaven does indeed seem boring.


    also another thing about heaven is why even bother having belongings you arent worried about locking away if you're gonna be eternally happy, no matter what? what use would we have for any type of materialistic things? is it just gonna be thousands of people walking around all day smiling like a bunch of ? ?

    to be honest, overly happy/chipper people annoy the ? out of me... you mean to tell me id have to deal with these type of people for eternity?!

    Well you need the peace of Christ which passeth all understanding to help you understand the spiritual realm b braze. Because right now your just talking from a carnal nature.

    Heaven is so much more than anything humans can ever conceive of. Just to see ? face to face is heaven for me. But we will also rule and reign with Him as Kings and Priests forever and ever. We will also be able to explore the endless treasures of His creation. The farthest reaches of the universe will be able to be transversed by us forever and ever.

    You must get out of your carnal mind and put on your spiritual mind b braze. You do this by placing your faith in the One who gave Himself for you on the cross at Calvary. You come to Him as a sinner in need of a Savior, recognizing your utter sinfulness and direct need for healing. ? didn't come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and if you believe in your heat that ? has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Come to the Lord Jesus Christ today my brother! Come and be saved my friend!

    That's a blessing Cap that you have enough trust to leave your door and garage unlocked. I applaud you for having such faith. Now if you can have such faith in those things, imagine how much ? could accomplish in you and through you if you placed your faith in Him?
