Christ is the only one who has offered to pay my sin debt to god!!! those other so called gods or religions, offer no other way to stand in front of a holy god forgiven!!!( debts payed) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD!!!For the wages of sin is death but the gift of GOD is eternal life through our LORD JESUS CHRIST  if we could be forgiven of our sin by being good or by our good works,how good would we have to be,or how much good works would we have to do? Jesus said I AM THE WAY,THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. My friend the tomb of the LORD JESUS CHRIST is empty! Buddha,and all those other men that claimed to have the answers to eternal life, their bones are still in their thumbs waiting for judgment day! They needed to be saved themselves! they and many others reject GOD'S GRACE in offering his only son's life to pay our way home. Please my friend don't make this tragic mistake yourself!!! CHRIST said today is the day of salvation. (no man is promised tomorrow)Get saved today!!! Get alone with GOD ask him to forgive your sins, tell him you except his sons free gift(eternal life) he paid for on the cross, and you want to serve him all the days of your life and he will give you the power to do it,by faith!!! Pray these things in the name of JESUS CHRIST, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED!!! GOD BLESS!!! P.S. Don't trust other gods!!

A person needs to read this passage very carefully, and it really helps to read it in the Hebrew. The three men are never actually identified as God. A number of Jewish rabbis have noticed the same thing. It is *first* said that Abraham was sitting in his tent and had a vision of God, *then* he opened his eyes and saw three men. While Moses's narative style sometimes has an overview of events, and then more details, it's hard to say if that's what's happening here or not. In fact, it's almost funny to read if you take the stance that these three were angels in the last half of Genesis, because it has Abraham speaking to the angel that remained behind, and calling him "Adoni" (Lord) but never YHVH. But the one to reply is always YHVY and never Adoni. Also, in Genesis 18:22, it says that the men Abraham was speaking with turned and left, but Abraham stayed and pleaded with the LORD.\n\nBut even if you take the stance that one, or even all three, of these "angels" were in fact God Almighty, there is nothing to keep God Almighty as a spirit from creating a body and animating it himself. St. Augustine gets into that kind of an idea  little bit in one of his 15 books on the Trinity, I don't remember which off the top of my head.

Dude, I don't know where you get your views, but they are not a reflection of God as revealed in the Holy Bible.  Have you ever read it?  Ever had a serious discussion with real people who have also studied it and could have dismissed it all as bunk, but instead they "bet the farm", their lives, reputations, livelihoods on it.  Talk to some real Christians in person.  Anonymity on a yahoo answers forum is not going to get you the real answers you're seeking.

My friend, I agree with you, yet I also see a more pressing matter at hand. What about those persecutors and all the non-believers? If they die, they will not rejoice with all of us in heaven with the Lord God. I will pray for both the believers and the non-believers. There isn't much I can do from my present state but pray and preach the Word, since i'm not in a position to do anything but that. Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless

what is the afterlife going to be like? judaism doesn't have a whole lot to say about the afterlife but if you want to read our strongest speculations about it try here: http://www.jewfaq.org/olamhaba.htm . we don't believe that a person must be a member of the jewish faith in order to get to "heaven". the focus is on being a good person not on your faith\n\nIs there heaven or hell? not really, at least not the cristian idea of either of the terms. read the article above, specifically the parts on Gan Eden and Gehinnom\n\nHow is God viewed? G-d is an absolute unity - a jewish person cannot believe in a trinity G-d, because the oneness of G-d is the most absolute and basic part of the jewish faith. the most recited jewish prayer is "shema yisra'el, adonai elokeinu, adonai echad" - "hear O israel, the L-rd our G-d, the L-rd is One". this is supposed to be the first words a baby hears and the last words of a dying person. G-d in judaism has absolutely no physical manifestation or qualities and never will - this means belief in a human man (jesus) as G-d is completely out. jews believe G-d is merciful, loving, and available to everybody, no matter what their religion.\n\nDo I have to believe in God to be jewish? no. but you have to believe in G-d to CONVERT to judaism. once you are a jew, you're jewish forever, even if you stop believing in G-d\n\nCan I still believe in evolution and be jewish? lots of jews do (i do too). depending on which branch you want to convert into, you will get different views. an orthodox conversion would probably still accept you though, if you could show that your belief in evolution does not contradict your strong belief in the torah as having been literally given by G-d. if you do not believe that the torah was given by G-d, you cannot convert to orthodox. conservative and reform would not care if you believe in evolution. however, most conservatives don't recognize reform converts, and most orthodox don't recognize reform OR conservative converts.\n\nDo I have to take the bible as literal truth? once again, it depends your branch. reform - nope. conservative - nope. orthodox - yes, for the most part. judaism (even orthodox) tends to view many parts of the bible as being highly allegorical and not always saying what it actually means. we believe that the true meaning of the bible is found in the oral torah (G-d's explanation of the torah to moses). you can read about the written torah and the oral torah here: http://www.jewfaq.org/torah.htm\n\nHow do you get into heaven if you are jewish? by being a good person, and if you are a jew, by following the mosaic laws\n\nand Are convert Jews welcome and accepted in synagogs/Jewish community's? \nyes

Whatever you do they will have so many answer to hit you back.\n\nJesus is not a god, He said that to all christians but this people have reach the limit of controlling the religion by their opinion of trinity that was created by the man of chaos.

what is the reference of this verse. i want to read the whole thing before it and after it, not just picking a verse from the middel\n\nbut you are correct. we all are brother of blood, we should remain in peace with each other regardless what governments do. we all worship One God.

God loves us and has given us second chances a ton of times, hey, He even sent his son to die for us. I truly believe that people will be given a second chance after Christ's second coming and will be able to go to Heaven. I'm sure your friend was a good person, and in the end I believe that's what matters most. God loves us and doesn't want us to suffer, so why wouldn't he help those who were good, but a little misguided?

UGH!  Again, you ask a faith question and you get a bunch of answers from non-believers!  Why do they even bother?  My answer is that the people I am most close to believe and have accepted Jesus and I believe then we will all be saved.  So I will see them again in heaven.\n\nPS Did the chick above me actually say she would b*tch slap God?  That's incredibly mature.  UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Hang on a minute. I thought Muslims looked to Allah and Mohammed as their Saviour/Prophet and Islam as their religion? Regardless, there is nothing on record that says Jews are the 'chosen people'. The only people who say this are Jews themselves, and these interpretations are based on THEIR interpretation of a 'Bible' written by fellow Jews...who played down their role in the execution of another Saviour of mankind. \n\nIf we all believe that the Lord/Allah/Jesus/Jehovah is our saviour (because God has many faces), we are ALL chosen people - not just one race or one nation of people and certainly not because one race of people has written a 'Book' biased in their favour...\n\nWhy ask such a stupid and ill-informed question on this board if not to provoke ill feeling?

long time ago in a far away land someone decided that people were living freely, doing just what they wanted, when they wanted and the government had to find a way to put\nthese people in place, so they thought of a story....lets make two places people can go when they die - the place for the good ones (who follow all the rules al the time) and the place for the bad ones (who don't follow the rules), then we threaten them with the bad place and they'll start following the rules, cause they wouldn't want to go there...you see, heaven and hell does not really exist. Come on our loving God put his own children in burning flame for eternity? Does that sound like the God you want to serve? Sounds a bit freeky to me. Truth is God loves everybody, every single one of us and there is only one destination for all of us, which is heaven, but if we were to know that - we'll stop following the "rules". Do you honestly think any one of us "deserve" to go to heaven? Nope...but ALL of us will be there one day and ALL of us will be happy! That's the real truth if you were wondering ; )\nTake care!

If praise was worth bribary then it would be infantile, but of course the 6+ million jews prayed for freedom, just like they have at many other points during their history and after a certain point, ya they got it. Gods will and purpose is hard for humans to comprehend, he wants us to love him regardless and praise him regardless. Kinda like how I want compliments even on days that I probably dont deserve them. Make any sense?

A good question! \n\nI expect you'll get a lot of the "free will" answers, but what about in Heaven, after death? Will we still have free will there, or will be be "robots"? If we have free will in Heaven, does that mean that we can sin while we're in Heaven? If we don't have free will in Heaven, does that mean that we will then be "robots" for eternity? And if we can be "robots" there, then, why not here, now?

And why would we worship a god who favors pedophiles over heroes?\n\nDoesn't seem like a nice god.  What motivation do we have to worship him?\n\nOh yeah, right, eternal damnation.  So, we are supposed to believe the word of a god who has no qualms about tossing heroes into Hell.  Yeah, do people really think that God would be good on his word?  If he doesn't care about human life, then what makes you think he cares about honesty?
