Not at all, as he gives all of us a chance to be saved. No-one has to go to Hell. You just choose to.

But we're already living in Hell!!! As I'm a strong believer in re-incarnation, "going to Hell" just means another stint on earth to learn the lessons you didn't get right the first time around. Heaven is simply not getting another gig here on this densely populated planet!

.....destroy us all and forget about it, like we deserve.

You can put your hand up for that jay but I don't think I deserve to be destroyed. Less of the plural there please. :hihi

 

[Tiger Attack]

Let me ask you one direct question Jay. Did god know how many people were going to go to hell before he created mankind?

I was just reading some of this stuff aways back. Seems that God created man before he created weeds!!

Stripes, please elaborate on your and your friends gifts. Specifics if possible, please.

So what would happen if a nuclear war killed all life on Earth? What would everything be reincarnated as then?

G'day foxy. Look ive barely ventured into this topic but id like to you ask you a question just on your last post. How do we be saved mate - does it take us to go to church every week and make those donations to the church and sing along with the rest of the crowd. Or can those who choose to be comfortable in sitting at home still believe in him.

I'm a sceptic to say the least but my partner is a believer from his childhood, which i support if that is what he chooses but you may not see my point of view, considering my situation seeing the church seems to be pretty black and white about most topics mate.

Tuby, I admire you posting on this thread as I know how this thread started, so thanks for your question. You certainly don't get to heaven by going to Church or donating to a church. There are many people who go to church who will not be going to Heaven.

To get to Heaven is really very simple. Firstly you need to acknowledge that you are a sinner. You need to believe in God, believe that Jesus Christ is his only Son who died on the Cross to pay the penalty for our sins and that he rose again on the third day. You also need to repent of your sins. This is where many people struggle and your true Faith is tested. By repentance, I mean that if you know that you are sinning against God then you need to turn away from those actions and ask for his forgiveness. You need to take stock of your life and try to avoid those things that you know are displeasing to Him. That is not to say that Christians do not sin, but rather that they fall into sin rather (and repent of it) rather than willingly participate in continuing sin. I should note that asking God for forgiveness involves nothing more than a genuine, personal prayer. There is no need at all for pennance as Christ has paid the complete cost of your sin with his death on the cross.
You should then try to read your bible and follow what it says.

If anyone reading this thread ever wanted to take this step, but didn't know what to pray, they could PM me and I would be happy to chat with them personally and confidentially.

No need to be sorry. People should be able to have a laugh and a joke on this thread. Bubbles is a very funny man and I hold his posts in the highest regard.

Stripes, please elaborate on your and your friends gifts. Specifics if possible, please.

Specifics? Sure. I can see aura's (ie, the electromagnetic field around all humans), disembodied spirits from time to time (I've been seeing them since I was 5), other intuitive things such as knowing when the phone is about to ring and who it will be, stuff like that. My Christian friends have the same abilities. We all do Jay!!!! Its easry to learn to see auras. Try it yourself! All you need is soft lighting, a light background (eg, white wall) and a person to stand/sit in front of it - just focus with a soft gaze at the top of their head and look past it as if you're looking into the distance. You will soon see a white glow around their head & shoulders at first with your peripheral vision. With practice, you will see it as naturally as looking at them and will also begin to distinguish colours. Its easy! Over time you will understand how to read them. For example, people who smoke pot regularly have a distinct dense grey/black cloke around their auric field. People who are angry and agressive often have a red tinge around theirs.

So what do i do about my situation Jayfox. Does my partner leave me because we love each other to justify Gods ideology mate. Dont get me wrong, I'm just interested in your views. Because, if im not wrong we are both living in sin but i'll be buggered if im gunna play for the other team just to please someone that i have reservations on to say the least. So how does the church approach the situation of people just being different due to biological idealogies of his faith Jay?


By the way - you do have my respect mate in letting everyone just have some laughs in regards to posts on the thread and i do respect your beliefs as well. Cheers

You can't possibly be suggesting that Earth is the only planet in the entire Universe that has life on it?? :rofl

 

[Tiger Attack]

You aint living in sin, Tuby, that's just small minded demagogery labelling u.

Cheers TA, agree, but look Jay and the church have some pretty stringent views on how society should be run which I just have the belief that if they were more flexible would get them alot more people seeing that they are in fact in touch with society as we move forward. Although as i have mentioned previously i honestly do respect the man for his honesty and views of the bible.

No offence Stripes, but I wouldn;t count this as a gift as anyone can see exactly what you call 'aura's'. If you look long enough at anything with a white background behind it and then fix your gaze at a blank white wall you can see the outline of what you were staring at previously. It can be a sign, a chair, anything. Are you saying that they all have aura's? I learnt about this many years ago at school, when studying the eyes, in grade 8 or 9. It is a trick of the eyes and not a spirit, being or aura as such.
