I am
not the most religious of people, but I do believe in God, and Jesus... but many people seem to forget that God's SON sacrificied himself
for our sins... in my book, a SON is part of a FAMILY... God put us on this earth to be of free will and to make our own way... Love being the biggest part of that way... we love God and we love Jesus... but we are also all part of his FAMILY... He made us all to be part of a unit that has hope and
faith and love... we were meant to procreate... so what does it matter if a person who is
dying does
not automatically think of God, but of their loved ones?

Neville i agree with you Jesus has the power to forgive sin past present and future through the cross when he
died his death covered past present and future.If those in the old testament were justified by
faith and made righteous then they are covered by the blood of Jesus even though he hadn't
died for them yet because there hope was in God.Isn't that what the definition of
faith is it is the substance of things hoped
for the evidence of things unseen.The proof is Enoch how could he go to be with God if he was
not righteous and only the blood of Jesus is able to do that.

Holly its
not about how we feel its the decision you made to accept Jesus so you are saved and you are now part of Gods family and the body of Christ.The enemy likes to play mind games to make us doubt our
faith especially as a new believer.The word tells us that when we believe in Jesus we are saved.John 3:16 Personally i do

died for us while we were still sinners..

* Believe in Jesus Christ, that he
died for you This requires that you get rid of your old sinful ways If you TRULY believe, that is, love Him and give your life to Him, good works and fruit will come out, but these are
not what make you a Christian, they are simply an indicator of your
faith in Jesus Pray, Read the Bible, Love God, Love others, worship God (live
for Him in all you do, take up your cross, and know that in all of this God is very patient and loving
Faith is something you must have
for an instance such as Jesus showing up and
dying for sins, because everyone there at the time, is dead, and only words describing what happened are left, words that match hidden prophecy given to those that don't believe the one
dying (the Jews don't believe Jesus)... which is self proving in a hidden manner... like finding gold where someone says it will be, near another person that says it's absolutely
not there.

faith, god answers our prayers everyday, think what you want and do what you do, but do
nt try to put things in other people's opinion or minds, jesus
died for our sins, so that we can have better lives and be forgiven
for our sins here on earth and move on to a beter place, becouse souls do
nt die «read the bible, if you do
nt understand it, find a church that can help you learn a better way of life, I pray
for everyone out there that does
nt know jesus christ as ther savior to accept what he has to offer to you «love forgiveness and ever lasting life «Christians» stay strong and [ass the word of god on and share all your tedtimonies in life» god bless everyone»»

for «great reward» after I

Jeremy i think satanic forces is more likely in that particular storm with Jesus and his disciples in the boat that was to test his disciples
faith and they failed the test.Jesus rebuked the storm there was a power that was out to destroy them why else would he rebuke it maybe he was waiting foir them to rebuke it themselves they had prayed
for people and seen healing they had commanded evil spirit to come out of people so they were aware of the power of God.Yet they were in fear of there lives faithless and afriad.Paul on his way to rome was caught in a storm and through an angel paul was told many would
die Paul interceeded
for the crew and lives on board and God promised that all would be spared.Paul had warned them before the voyage that it would end in disaster but they did
not listen.Satan wasnt happy with that plan because he had hoped to kill as many people as possible there was over 300 souls on board and many had been expected to
die.So satan attempted to kill Paul and he was bitten by a snake but satan is no match
for Jesus Christ he has been defeated and so Paul lived and continued to preach the gospel was many being saved.brentnz

Gil you have asked some very good questions why does bad things happen in the world i personally do
nt know God did
nt explain to Job either why he had to suffer.What i do know is that God desires that none of us should perish but that all would have eternal life in him through Jesus Christ.This world will one day pass away and the real world will be reborn so our focus as christians is on whats to come and being a witness in the here and now.Both good and bad happens to either the righteous or the sinner so what are we to make of that.What we do know is that God will set all things right at the appointed time the wicked will be judged and the righteous will be rewarded
for there
faith isnt that enough reason
for us to believe.Free will is only a reality if we can choose between good and bad but our hearts are deceitfully wicked we naturally are inclined toward sin that is another reason whyt we need to be saved from ourselves so what are we to do.
For me Christ
died and rose again that is a fact witnessed by over 500 people that were alive at the time and was recorded by historians how many other religious leaders do you know that did that or did the miracles that Jesus did.As far as the bible is concerned much of the archelogical evidence has proven to be correct and many of prophetic words spoken many hundreds of years ago have come to pass including both the birth and the death of Jesus.Interested in what philosophy you are believing in if other than a
faith in Jesus Christ so how does that philosophy give you the assurance that you are saved.Its really simple with christianity we just have to believe in Jesus Christ.brentnz
Who are we to judge what God does or allows he has his reasons who can fathom his ways he sees the end from the beginning and is
not limited to time or space like we are.Does God want anything the answer is Yes he wants a relationship with us that is why he sent his son because he had a purpose in creating us.However the wages of sin is death in this scripture alone regardless of what happens here we all deserve to
die God could have wiped us all out with another flood
for who of us is worthy.It is by grace that we live and yes bad things do happen to good people just as it does
for the wicked is it to test our
faith i do
not know but i do know that God gives us the grace to endure through trials and difficulty and that all things do work
for Good if we love him..
It also explains why in America appeals like Hovey's or York's to the exemplary nature of the martyrs don't make immediate sense; in most people's minds, the only people who
die for their
faith are delusional and suicidal figures like Jim Jones, founder of the People's Temple, and more than 900 of his followers.
Funny how star gazing gives one awe and a sense of eternity and in my case it removes the hope of heaven... i.e. there is no heaven, just space with gazeous substance... a place where it is childish and absurd to think we are going when we
die... Our solar system / galaxy seem empty of organic life altogether... actually inorganic seems to be the norm... so my
faith struggle of the week is how can I possibly believe in after life... when reality shows me decomposition of all that we are, scientific observation does
not allow room
for a «spirit body» to rise and go in some nebulae... So why do I still need to believe despite this raw evidence... I drive me crazy sometimes...
The fact is that your
faith makes no sense — you belive that a god came down and
died for our sins, that he was all powerful (so could
not die), and that he still lives (hence no real sacrifice anyway)-- this is utter nonsense and anyone with an IQ greater than 50 should realize it!
Faith = the ability to believe in something in spite of the fact that science can PROVE what you believe in is impossible (it is absolutely impossible
for a human being to
die, be dead
for 3 days and rise from the dead, still haven't been able to get someone to walk on water, and if I could turn water into wine, I'd work from home).
The only real thing that separates «Christianity» from any other religion or spiritual belief, is
not whether we incorporate Easter Bunnies, goblins, ghouls, monsters, Santa, or tiny elves into our celebrations, but rather, that our
faith is
not found in our ability to «save» ourselves but in Christ who
died for all, so that all could enter into unbroken friendship with Him.
I like the cartoon so perhaps i am
not a total caveman Armchair cowards some would call you But then i live in a so called developing country Isn't it could that we can

faith or true lack of
faith For me, this site is an entertainment break, hope you do
not mind.
if there was any proof, there would be no need
for faith... and proof would create a lot of believers, including myself — but alas there is none — unless you can prove me wrong and show the world your proof... but you neved addressed my post, do you admitt to the lunacy it takes to believe something that CA
N'T be proven until you
die?
This is what we do funerals
for —
not only to dispose of our dead, but to bear witness to their lives and times among us, to affirm the difference their living and
dying makes among kin and community, and to provide a vehicle
for the healthy expression of grief and
faith, hope and wonder.
The priest said, «I'm
not sure Maria is ready to

faith.»
If they believe «Jesus» guarantees eternal life via
faith alone, they are saved — even if they personally do
NOT believe this Jesus is God who
died for our sins and rose again.»
- people believe the Savior is named «Jesus» and remain unsaved... - that Jesus» name really isn't «Jesus» He was never called «Jesus» in His life... - most people don't know the meaning of the name «Jesus»... - you say a person does
not need to know ANYTHING about «Jesus» (e.g., that He is a man, that He is God, that He
died for sins and rose again, that He isn't a Mexican somewhere in Tiajuana)-- other than that this guy is the guarantor of eternal life by
faith alone... - you discount passages that say the lost are saved by the «preaching of the cross» (1Cor.
You know, I've never understood the concept that, if the
NT is true, Jesus
died for our sins and all of us are going to the fiery Pit unless we have
faith — no amount of good works will do.
