and i have read the good book. i wasnt talking about jesus comming after the beast to save us from the antichrist. i was talking about the part where jesus comes before the beast and gives the faithful the first crack at heaves apartment market.(the return of the messiah part 1.5).

just my point of view. i hope its not offensive to anyone. but global warming offends me.

Nor do I wish to offend you.

I am curious though. You stated that you do believe in God. Do you believe the Holy Scriptures were written by man, but inspired by God?

When you quoted, "i thenk the devil is the devil because he believes that only through the absoulte subbmission to gods law should you be allowed to go to heaven. which means if you steal because you are hungry or kill in self defense you still go to hell."

I am a bit confused. I'm not sure what you are trying to say, however, man's law gives us lesser pentalies for crimes commented for different reasons not God. Sin is sin whether you steal $1 or $1000, whether you kill one person or 100. It's still a sin, it is still wrong. God is a compassionate God, but He is also vengeful God. God's wrath should be feared, but His forgivness is offered to everyone no matter what they have done in the past.

We are all human beings so we are all with sin. You, me, every humaning on this planet are sinners and there is no changing that! We were born sinners and we will all die as sinners. There is no perfect human being. We are not condemned to Hell for being human (sinners), but for not accepting Jesus as our personal savior (Christianity). God certainly does know what is in your heart and He can't be fooled. There are a lot of people in Hell that had a good heart, but we must accept salvation (forgiveness) to enter the Kingdom. However, if you are truly saved, you willingly change your wicked ways and try to live according to his Word. Believing there is a God is not salvation. If you do not change your ways, I would doubt you were truly saved, but it's not up to me to judge. I will not say who is or who isn't saved. God will do the judging, and from Him you cannot hide the truth.

The only sin that God will not forgive is destroying the most perious gift of all, your life. He will not forgive the taking of your own life.

When I state "you", I am not referring to you personally Mr. BrokenJera or to anyone. I'm speaking in general. As I stated before, I really don't want to get into this religious conversation for I believe everyone has there own views, believes, etc. and there is no way of changing anyones mind. Whether political or religion. They have made up there mind and until the are confronted with the Holy Spirit, they will not change.

When I was in Vietnam there was a little saying going around, "There are no atheist in a fox hole". This is absolutely true! I beleive there was more praying going on asking God's forgiviness in Vietnam than all the churches in the world.

This is not scriptural, but my personally belief. I believe the Holy Spirit lives in side of each of us and uses our conscience to tell us what is right and what is wrong. As we continue to sin our conscience is weakened, thus the Holy Spirit stops talking to us. The only way to keep the Holy Spirit speaking to us and our conscience strong is to expose yourselves to God's Word. This means reading scripture, prayer, and congregating with like believers (going to church). Like I said it's not in the Bible, but it makes sense to me.

I'm through with this conversation. I really don't know why I started. Maybe it was the Holy Spirit!

Glad you like the PRS T5 C2. I really like it. I'm going to start saving for one, of course, by the time I get that much money together there will be something new out that probably cost a lot more.

Have a nice day! :)
