Guys, hey, hey. Do we have to make a thing out of this?

Listen. Even if the God of the Old Testament did some bad stuff, Jesus is what's referred to as the New Covenant, okay? (Covenant meaning promise, or agreement.) I believe that God will never, ever do something like that again, if God did it in the first place.

I have my doubts about how true the Old Testament is, but I have no doubt that God is love, whatever form he chooses to take.

Don't listen to people who only say "the truth" in order to fling mud at others - they obviously have their minds pretty shut to "the truth," you know what I mean? Especially since they can't seem to understand the concept of a metaphorical parable. Honestly, atheists. It's all or nothing with those people. "You can't actually move mountains, Jesus lied!" -_- *sigh*

Also: Satan is not a dancing red satyr with a pointy tail and horns. Never forget that. Satan is The Enemy, and it will take the most alluring, beautiful form it can find to worm its way into your heart. The Enemy in itself is not a man - it is not Lucifer, a fallen angel, whatever. It is the essence of hate and pain and fear.

The problem with this is. You can't throw away one half of the bible as un-true, and the other half true. To me thats just simply saying "Oh, i like the whole Jesus-love thing, but not the whole angry wrath of god".

The WHOLE bible was "inspiried" by the holy spirit, One of the Three parts of god. You can't just pick the good parts of the bible, and disregard the other.

The fact is Religion is the bane of man-kind(Along with many other things..). More people have died from religous inspiried wars/ideology than not.

I also heard that the Vatican recently changed, and got rid of "Limbo". wtf? http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0506867.htm

If limbo was just a theory, what else was?

I sure most of you have heard of Leslie Flint, I think he is important, because he willingly went under tests and passed them.

Here is a site with a lot of Direct Voice recording links/info. Oddly enough, alot of these people/spirits talk about how Religious people have the hardest time passing over.

my beleif is that we are already living in hell quote the saying hell on earth and when we die we pass over to heaven were there is only love and  beauty which is what god wanted for us on the earth  a lot of it was eves fault she ate the apple from the tree of life in the garden of eden  because she listened to the serpent instead of listening to god which changed everything for mankind god loves us all very much thats why he sent his beloved son jesus to die and suffer on the cross so that we may be saved i could not live my life without god  i love him and ive always beleived in him and we have to resist the devil when he trys to tempt us away from god  i pray to him many times and he always answers my prayers god loves you all god bless you juditha

spitfire u shouldnt read all that garbage about the evil bible its not true  but i,ve said  that before and i must be getting on your nerves but what i say is true that evil bible is evil in its self and a load of lies deanna

I don't think the bible is inheritly evil, but there were some very evil things that did take place. To me religion is like a really big support group, to make people feel special. Problem is when you have several other forms of generally the same message, it will create conflict, IE: middle east.

I certainly wouldn't take what i read in the bible or in any other religious book with to much seriousness. After all, MAN created religion, not 'god'.

The whole Adam and Eve story is nothing more than a 'folktale', as many of the stories/parables in the bible. To say that you HAVE to follow the bible to get into heaven/eternal life is pretty demanding, especially if you were born or raised in a place where religion did not exsist.

One of my biggest questions is, if religious books/stories did not exsist, would there be the same world wide beliefs? would we believe in a 'god' like depicted in the bible? god trusts that we got the message some thousand years ago?

The bible had a good set of underlined morals, as far as i'm concerned that about all it was. That and a form of entertainment with all of the different stories.

Deanna, those lines are taken straight from the good book. It may not be 'evil' but some bad stuff did 'happen'.

Fundimental religious-types are a dangerous breed so be careful how literal you take everything. Just my two cents.

We evolved from apes, how this happened is open to interpretation.

God loves no one, because he does not exist, in any form which holy books describe anyway.

Free yourself from the church's hold upon thee! cast out the demon which is religon and be saved!

Your 16, young and frisky go experience life, have fun - judge yourself and dont be judged.
