First, I believe you cease to exist.  Then, if there is a God then he must be a just god.  I raised 4 children.  When they misbehaved they got punished.  But I never burned them nor did I punish them for the rest of their lives.  If the bible is true then I am made in god's image.  Unjust punishment is repulsive to me.  The thought of burning people actually was something the pagans did, casting their children into the fire before their god Mo'lech.  The bible says that was something that never came up into his (God's) heart.  (Jer. 32:35)  If that is true then HELL must be something religious leaders invented to scare their partitioners into following THEIR laws. (i.e. contributions)\n\nThe bible says the wage sin pays is death (Romans 6:23).  Therefore, whoever dies has paid for their sin.  Why would they be punished after suffering death?  Doesn't seem just to me.  What's more astounding is the thought of no parole.  Suffer eternity for what you did in only one lifetime?  I thought God was supposed to be just.\n\nSo, I know (believe) that at death you simply sleep a sleep from which there is no dreaming nor awakening.

Good point, but there are more things these slimy fools are doing in Africa.  Raping women, killing Christian women and children, burning churches, torturing kids that refuse to memorize their unholy book and more.  Want proof?  Seek it on this link then!

i'm pretty sure you know the Christian view... this is something i've been thinking about a good bit lately - Genesis talks about 'when a man leaves his parents and basically takes a wife... they live together and become one.. sorry - paraphrasing i dont like... i'll add more as i research\nI'm curious more because of the jewish prophecy concerning the messiah; of a virgin, yet of the line of David. \n& my head hurts.

Ok get this... The Law was that people had to sacrifice animals for their sins. There is a passage...not sure where off the top of my head, but I will find it... that talks about how Christ's sacrifice can do what no goat can. He was a BETTER sacrifice than animals. So no he did not abolish the law but rather fulfilled it in that he was sacrificed so technically, Christians DO follow the law. \nAnd quit using bits and pieces of scripture! Take it in context! \n\n6) Jesus has a punishment even worse than his father concerning adultery: God said the act of adultery was punishable by death. Jesus says looking with lust is the same thing and you should gouge your eye out, better a part, than the whole. The punishment under Jesus is an eternity in Hell. (Matthew 5:27)\nHe was saying  it would be BETTER to gouge your eye out than to continue in the sin. And if you really wanted to get to the truth, you would know that fire and brimstone hell was a false doctrine designed to keep people in the catholic church. Hell is nothing more than the grave itself and so the punishment under Jesus is the same as that under God.\n\n8) “Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law" (John7:19) \nRead the whole thing... he was telling them that they were (for lack of a better word) being STUPID. Read the whole story.\n\nand “For the law was given by Moses,..." (John 1:17).\nFinish it! it says "and grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Hell isn't really discussed in Genesis, or given that much information in the Bible in general. Most of what we think of Hell comes from Dante's Inferno.

No amount of me telling you what is and what not ain't gonna convince you,The fact that u r asking this question is because deep down you know u r wrong,The christian God as u put it, and satan r not equal and whomever came up with the idea you being taught against the bible with the bible is really cunning must be the devil himself,Let me tell you what my God give me that no demon in hell can give you peace.God treated lucifer unjust r u kidding me?

The stories in the bible are meant to be taken out of context in my opinion. The story of Genesis goes something like this. Adam and Eve were man and woman... Both knew no evil. They enjoyed the light from each others souls. Each of thier thoughts helped the other to grow and prosper. One day a "serpent", or a cheat,  someone that didn't believe in the way god saw things. Came forward and while adam was away playing the serpent convinced Eve that she should do the exact thing that both adam and God told her not to do. She was run by her emotions and the facts of her life had meaning that she couldn't understand. She was convinced/baited into eating things of which she had no knowledge. When adam came back he saw that she was changed. He was curious and his lack of wisdom in his judgements caused him to eat of the knowledge of good and evil. They both gained knowledge but at the cost of living in paradise. The suffering that arised was not from Satan but what Satan knew would happen. They would see each other for what each other were. And that would escalate into more and more questions. When the fact is that they both had all the answers that they needed. It was people's greed and curiousity that allowed this to happen. Naivety can sometimes seem evil to someone that doesn't understand things on a bigger scale. If such a paradise existed in the meaning of the garden of eden then knowledge and understanding were the things that brought it crumbling down. Knowledge is power, power corrupts, so knowledge is the root of all evil. Eve was just a scapegoat. She was blamed for her naivety to believe in someone other than god himself. As for child birth, we are all sinners, it is suffering that we must go through to continue to survive. If we saw an end to child birth then we would see an and to humanity. Please also take into note that women have, since the days of homo-erectus, been the bearers of children and the protecters of the home. The men of that age were the hunters and gatherers. We have come a long, long way from that nomadic life. But the pain of child birth still remains something to be winced at. Women were never known to be what they are today. Intelligent contributing members to society. Why even 50 years ago they couldn't even vote. Women still have no rights around the world today. Men blame them for being weak back then and still blame them for it today. Women will never get thier share of the fair slive of the pie until they become the dominant ones. But men train thier boys to be dominant and thier girls to be subservient. Women train thier boys to be caring and thier girls to fight strong. So it's a matter of who's lessons are being learned and who's are being dismissed. I know I looked to my father for the real answers and my mother for the emotion ones. Because even as a child I knew thier strengths and weaknesses. If I had asked my mother for her strength and my father for his emotions then I would be gay or a complete idiot. Yes that does sound condescening but I know that to be the truth of the matter. \nWell to sum it up, I would have to say that women have always suffered the wrath of men. We just have to wait for the natural order of things to fall into place before women will be able to become the dominant species. Think about the amazon culture. (the fairy tale version) And some of us see the reality of what could be. I would reccomend reading Genesis and taking in the subtler nuances. Take all the stories from the bible and apply them to your own life. You may find that alot more of the stories make sense. But you may also find that the very knowledge you seek will hold you back from finding your eden. We all suffer the pains of knowing the truth. Those of us that don't, already live in eden and, merely wonder why everyone else left. I hope this answers some of your questions and helps to ease the sight of the suffering you witness.

Before answering that question -- you do realize that Satan was and is, to Judaism -- the progenitor faith of Christianity "the Advesary"  NOT the advesary of humans, no, the advesary of G-d -- and his position is actually within the heavenly court.  He's SUPPOSED to challenge G-d.\n\nThe title Devil came later, and actually means "little god" or something like that -- its been almost 20 years since I took that course.\n\nNow that said.  Your question is really primarily theological.  What you are really asking is how can God allow anyone to be born gay.  You make a presumption that very few Christians would -- that the Devil can effect a preborn infant.  You are welcome to your diverse theological construct however.  I'm going to answer the question you actually asked, rather than the one you meant to ask, I think, then I'll speak briefly to your theology.\n\nHow can someone be born gay?\n\nIn a word, genetics.  there is a great deal of scientific evidence that it is inborn.  Beyond scientific evidence there is anectodal evidence.\n\nThe fruit fly study is actually fairly conclusive.  But the pheremonal and eye blink studies are also compelling.  I've included links below for those that are interested.  Beyond that, research increasingly suggests that at least for males, X28 is the crucial gene.  I am saddened by this, because I believe that once it is proven, gay people will be wiped out -- and I think that is sad, because given the number of species in which homosexuality exists (see Dr. Bruce Bagemihl's book "Biological Exuberance" from St. Martin's Press) I think it serves a purpose.\n\nNow as to the theology behind your question:  The Bible speaks out directly about a lot of things.  It says that the world has corners (Isaiah 11:12) and that it sets on pillars (I Samuel 2:8).  It says that God accepted a human sacrifice -- he may have prevented Isaacs, but he allowed a general to sacrifice his own daughter without even a murmer, the text  giving tacit support to the idea that having given his word, the man had to kill his child. (Judges 11:30-39).  The Bible  clearly maintains that genocide is often commanded by God (Joshua 10:40-42 and I Samuel 15: 2, 3 and 8) and that, after killing all the adults in a race, taking the female children as sex slaves is permissable (Numbers 31: 17-18).\n\nThe God revealed by the Bible is not only both a liar who doesn't know the natural laws of his own world, and a monster, as shown above -- but he has no real regard, even for his own people, whom he forces into cannibalism (Leviticus 26: 27-29) when he is mad at them; or his priests, whose faces he wipes with dung (Malachi 2:1-3).\n\nIt is not only gays and lesbians that are hated by biblegod.  This monstrocity also suggests killing kids who eat or drink too much (Deutoronomy 21: 18-21), and says that  if he is angry with parents he will kill their children (Leviticus 26:22) and he blames things upon children whose great-great-great grandfather committed the things being blamed on the kids (Exodus 20: 5)\n\nPutting it in a word, biblegod is a monstrocity, a horrific demiurge of evil.  Something that even he admits ( Isaiah 45:7 ) [Furthermore, the word used in Hebrew for evil, the word ra' is widely conceded to mean a number of different things:  It can mean "wickedness," "mischief," "bad," "trouble," "hurt," "sore," "affliction," "ill," "adversity," "harm," "grievous," and "sad."  So no matter what particular interpretation is given of this word -- it has profoundly negative implications.  The idea that god is sovereign over the affairs of man makes this even worse, because no matter what interpretation it has, it indicates that biblegod deliberately does harm.]; evil about which he sometimes changes his mind (Exodus 32:14).  What a font of unchanging moral

1. I love the website linked! It has every verse in the King James Bible listed directly and exactly as it is and reveals it for what it is. \n\nBibleGod killed babies, commited mass genocide and more and is all clearly there! \n\n2. The answer is no. There is some literature that is equally cruel and violent, but not anywhere close to having the vast amount of it as the bible does. \n\nBTW, I found a link to this great video clip on that site!\nhttp://throwawayyourtv.com/2006/06/bible-is-bullshit.html\n\nThanks abunch!

yes,you are right the one who create the Sun can also Create the Hell...i feel pity and really so sad for the people who laugh at you....of course we must not believe in God just because we are afraid of Hell...but human beings have a lot of differences..there are sort of people you can not stop them of doings a bad thing except if you show them the punishment.....this is why there are prisons .we can see a lot of people in our life do not do crimes just they afraid of going to prison not because crimes are bad....but the not Smart bad people who insist on doing crimes even they know they could go to the prisons but they just laugh at...so the Prisons in all the countries are full of these sort of people..and for that too the Hell will be full of people who laugh at....God help them with his mercy .....\nand at the end like you said if these people have blind hearts to find God...they should think of it by mathematical mind (probability of existence theory) if there are 0.0000001% Hell and God are true ..what they will do?so it i prefer to believe in God than find nothing, than to not believe in God and find Hell.

Not only that but God told Joshua to go into a certain city, I believe it was Jericho and kill everyone, and not to leave anyone alive. Sounds more like Bin Laden than a loving God. The Old Testament God has been painted to look rather savage and bloodthirsty. I consider the fact that the Bible was written not by God but by humans with agendas and ambitions.

Look at God....\nin acts people sold their house and gave most of the money to fund the christians, but saved a little out to survive on. when questioned about it they lied and were instantly struck dead.\nGod took a mans supernatural strength away because he CUT HIS HAIR.\nHe made the israelites wander around in the desert for fourty years because some small thing moses did p***ed him off.\nHe allowed his own son to be tortured and killed because it was his will.\nHe allowed moses to Slaughter countless men, women and children because they freaking made a calf and said the calf led them out of slavery...\nhe allowed Job to be tortured just to 'prove a point'\nso if we were created in Gods imagine, well, its no wonder why we're this way.

Ok Buckar you have a point here, now years ago when Lucy evolved and passed our DNA on down the line we soon began to walk different and get taller. See we had short legs to be able to survive on the terain and the legs were the power to run from the animals that could eat us. Oh sorry we are on Adam and Eve aren't we. After reading all these great answers I noticed one thing. Most have different answers. Now I find that there are 2 Creators, God and Lord God who created God. Jesus did have kids and hung with Mary so he could use her money to support him and he supposedly had kids too. He may have had illigedimate ones too cause they didn't have good birth control back then.As for the nipples on man they may be for the gay men. I mean its like you said God doesn't make misakes and I know a lot of gay people that are Religious and good.As for the person that stated woman was created as a helper to man I think he should have said slave cause a lot of women are supporting lazy men today.I don't see why people say the bible is fact but when I say my horoscope is true all the time they say oh that is man written and the chance of it being true is only cause some people may believe it and might have a day where it might go that way. Make sense eh ! I think we evolved from like viruses and stuff like insects did. If animals were created first and then man in Gods image only by feelings and not physical then animals are too. I say my animals love me and never sin against me where as man does, did and will continue to. Most preachers that are child molesters think it is not a sin because it is not with a woman and a man is ok cause they have written this down through time. The Monks had homosexuallity all the time and hid it, yet burned people at the stake cause they thought they were witches. This was to cover up their fears that they may be found guilty of being gay.Noah, This is utter nonsense, No way can you get 2 of all creatures on Earth into a boat for 40 days and not have them eat each other.Too many species to find to fit the boat.And how did it flood the whole world when they didn't have the weather map to show that all was flooded.I am sure that the 2 so called Gods did not send hundreds of animals from thousands of miles all over the world to get to a boat in one spot.I wonder why Jesus was in one spot on this vast Earth and at the time where there was no travel to spread the word of 2 Gods faster. If Noah had God mentally control the animals to board the boat and control the situation then why didn't he crack the whip on those darn Unicorns ! And if man is all so mighty over animals then someone was reincarnated into my parakeet cause he can say over 120 different phrases and I can't fly or immitate his language. Sorry so long as I just stopped here cause it was an interesting question .

Something is really wrong with the heaven and hell teaching.\nAccording to Psalm 115:16, has God provided earth, or heaven for mankind?\nAccording to Psalm 37:29, where are we suppose to spend our eternity?\nReasoning:\nGod said Adam would lose the gift of life if he ate of the forbidden fruit.\nHe ate, he died.\nIF he never ate of it, if he never touched it ....where would he be today?\nOur future is on a cleansed earth.\nThat is what God's original purpose is .....and nothing will change his mind.

If we are going to invoke Leviticus to condemn homosexuality then we must also remember that the Bible calls for the execution of homosexuals. Not only that but it calls for the stoning of disobedient children and adulterers. I wish that fundamentalist/evangelical Christians would not be so selective in their application of scripture. And to the guy who says that 80% of homosexuals have AIDS? Where on earth did you get such a ridiculous statistic? I've never heard such rubbish in all my life.

welcome to Judaism my friend. We mearly see the "devil" as the angle of death and a servant of Gd. Personally I do not know where that whole fallen angel garbage came from.
