there by our faith in Christ but if we aren't worthy enough, then we will still live in a lower heaven but eternally out of the presence of God the Father.

Atheists: I know many
there are many people that practice religion just
by fanaticism, I've seen many people
in my opinion stupid (excuse the word) praying to saints hopping to solve their problems
by repeating pre-made sentences over and over, but
there are others different, I don't think Religion and Science need to be opposites, I believe
in God, I'm Catholic and I have many reasons to believe
in him, I don't think however that we should pray instead of looking for the cause and applying a solution, Atheists think they are smart because they focus on Science and technology instead of putting their
faith in a God, I don't think God will solve our problems, i think he gave us the means to solve them
by ourselves that's were God is, also I think that God created everything but not as a Magical thing but stablishing certain rules like Physics and Quimics etc. he's not an idiot and he knew how to make it so everything was on balance, he's the Scientist of Scientist the Mathematic of Mathematics, the Physician of Physicians, from the tiny little fact that a mosquito, an insect species needs to feed from blood from a completely different species, who created the mosquitos that way?

faith they don't believe that we will automatically be
there based only on the blood of Jesus alone either.

Jeremy it just hit me like a bolt of lightning i am so excited about this thought that salvation has nothing to do with eternal life but is speaking of losing the ability to be an overcomer
in Christ.Having been
there as a carnal christian i always believed
in Jesus but i felt i did nt have the power to live a christian life so i felt like a hippocrite i was still subject to sin and sinful desires.So
in that sense i had never received salvation because i had never been an overcomer
in the first place.So i can see how a christian could lose
there salvation having once walked
by faith but that does nt effect
there eternal life
in Christ.Just so others know i am now walking
by faith and am an overcomer i know what it is like to experience the power of the holy spirit and to not be overcome
by my old nature that is what Jesus wants us all to experience rather than being a victim of the enemy.Whether we are an overcomer or not does nt effect our eternal life.brentnz
Craig that was exactly my understanding however if we believe that
in that traditional sense a person could lose
there eternal life
by there actions
by not walking
in the Lord which i do nt think is right as eternal life is a free gift from God not based on works.Jeremys definition is that we are saved
by faith in Jesus Christ to eternal life.I believe the term salvation has the meaning to be saved not necesarily to eternal life but saved from ourselves Christ gives us the power to be transformed into his likeness or to be Christ like.

Theresa keep what you were doing when you reached out to the homeless lady that was the right thing to do that was motivated
by the holy spirit do nt follow what the church does do what the Lord wants you to do and it will bear fruit.Let them do

satans aim was to stop the fulfillment of the seed that would crush satan underfoot.This hybrid between the angels and man created giants abominations
in Gods eyes.They also were a threat to Gods people as can be seen
by the giants
in the land of caanan after the flood.If we agree on that then
there is no way that Eve would have had intercourse with satan [false doctrine of the seed of satan -RCB- because the blood lines were still untainted
by angelic beings or satan at the time of Noah maybe that is also why the genealogy of Christ is well presented with no surprises apart from Hagar and Ruth these two were gentiles that shows Gods mercy grace was always
there to all nations he accepts people
by faith not
by race.Prior to the flood the mixing of the angels and man must have been widespread after the flood these beings were present but
in limited numbers and God told his people to destroy them as they were abominations but they were a threat to Gods people.It would be interesting to hear what the rabbis had to say on this matter as i would think the stories would have been past down from generation to the next.Especially regarding the flood.God promised he would never flood the earth again but a time is coming when the earth will be judged not
by flood but
by fire Jesus is our ark and we are safe
in him.brentnz
If
there is a God and
there is just as much for as against, But lets say
there is a God and he made everything Including you and He gets to make the rules because lets face it hes a lot bigger then you, So unfortunately he only wants those who believe
in him based on the information given, Lets look at the facts based on the Book,, Some of his own angels turned on him and they see him every day... That had to hurt, So he decides With man he only wants those with the

faith found thru the holy spirit, If you refuse to believe then he cant use you, cant trust you, so he will choose to toss you aside, Hey I understand It ai nt fair, Your important, Your Smart, But unfortunately hes bigger then you and he has the Juice, You either play
by the rules or wait and see what not believing leads too.

in thier heart and had
faith in the Lord... simply
by folding your hands and asking God to enter your heart... (try it he will be
there for you, and you will feel the joy of His love), then they would never do things like this... he obviously was not a person who loved God because No one with God

in God we all stray from our beliefs, its human nature and the devil takes advantage of this.

in the world.
What so many Catholics seem to be saying is that, so far as we can determine with our unaided human intellects, according to even the «metaphysically modest» version of neo-Darwinism,

by faith.

Personally i think those specific prayers are a distraction most of the times we pray these prayers because its what we think we need and often thats not the case.The better way is to just trust the holy spirit let him lead i think we miss the awesomeness of doing it Gods way its easy not difficult.The struggle is difficult when we are walking
by the flesh and trying to do it our way.When i got to the point where i said to the God i am not going to do it my way anymore and i submit to you because know whats best for me.Change me and when i feel the wrong desires or temptation to walk
by the flesh i just say Lord you know i am weak and i can not live a christian life without you help me.As soon as i do that it is effortless
theres no struggle thats how we should grow.I am excited with what God is doing
in my life he has opened his word i am seeing the fruit of his life impacting mine and i am changing day
by day.I am walking
by faith and not slipping back into my old desires i know what it means to be an overcomer sin does not have dominion over me anymore.
In myself i can not boast because it is the power of God at work
in my life and i give all the praise back to God.brentnz
The intuitional evidence for belief
in Allah, the belief based upon the recognition of Allah
by our inner consciousness, is brought to our attention
in the Qur» an
by pointing out the important psychological fact that
there is an instinctive feeling of
faith in Almighty Allah, the Creator of the universe, which comes to men when they are free from inclinations, or the distractions of dull routines, or when surprised
by the question of the origin of the universe, or when faced with hardships or misfortunes which they can not overcome
by themselves.

there shall be just such an actualization of the potential God - Man relationship as Christian
faith discerns
in Christ our Lord.

by praying and singing hymns to Jesus,

in English versions of the New Testament may have been mistranslated.

If we allow Blake's apocalyptic vision to stand witness to a radical Christian
faith,
there are at least seven points from within this perspective at which we can discern the uniqueness of Christianity: (1) a realization of the centrality of the fall and of the totality of fallenness throughout the cosmos; (2) the fall
in this sense can not be known as a negative or finally illusory reality, for it is a process or movement that is absolutely real while yet being paradoxically identical with the process of redemption; and this because (3)
faith,
in its Christian expression, must finally know the cosmos as a kenotic and historical process of the Godhead's becoming incarnate
in the concrete contingency of time and space; (4) insofar as this kenotic process becomes consummated
in death, Christianity must celebrate death as the path to regeneration; (5) so likewise the ultimate salvation that will be effected
by the triumph of the Kingdom of God can take place only through a final cosmic reversal; (6) nevertheless, the future Eschaton that is promised
by Christianity is not a repetition of the primordial beginning, but is a new and final paradise
in which God will have become all
in all; and (7)
faith,
in this apocalyptic sense, knows that God's Kingdom is already dawning, that it is present
in the words and person of Jesus, and that only Jesus is the «Universal Humanity,» the final coming together of God and man.

This, of course, does not mean that
there; is, avoidably as well as unavoidably, much that is «undemocratic»
in the Church, if for no other reason than that the baptized children must slowly be led
by the Church to a free and responsible decision of personal
faith without which no adult can be a member of the Church
in the fullest sense.
What God is looking for is repentence and a turning to him rather than a turning away from him.God instituted the animal sacrifices to show just how bad sin was so we would be sorry that we greived him.For us to be made right
there has to be a choice to turn from sin and follow him and out of that decision
there should be a desire to walk
in his ways.Under the old law part of that obedience was to make offerings however it was
by faith in God that made the person righteous and not the blood of animals.
While
there are many texts which tell readers how to receive eternal life

in light of the free gift they have already received.
If the Abraham stories are shaped
by the first phase of Israel's history, that phase
in which Israel became Israel, and if they are read and interpreted
in Israel as a personalized account of her formative
faith in her formative event, we may well wonder whether

in her own land, on her own soil.
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.
