Right I have a christian friend who is like really serious about it, and I some times feel like she is constantly trying to convert me when I've told her that I'm not like her i'm not like a church go-er and it's just i've been bruoght up in a different way to her. I don't want to offend her but can any one suggest ways of making it clear that i don't believe half of what she's saying. (Thanks alot, i rate high!) (link)

I'm a Christian and I've asked my nonChristian brother a few different times to come to church with me but he wont. Tell her that if she really respects you and if she truely respects Christ and his teachings, she will stop pestering you and just love you. Tell her that if she wants to pray for you that's fine but you're in God's hands now. You may not agree with what I'm saying but if she is a good Christian and you tell her this, she will most likely listen. Hope I could help.

what happens to the soul who commits suicide? what is life after death? (link)
| |
I think it depends. If you are a true Christian and you commit suicide, I believe God will still take you to Heaven. If you are not a Christian, as harsh as it sounds, I must say that you will go to hell. Obviously from what I just said, I do believe there is life after death. Before asking the question "is there life after death" you must know how you believe life came to be and what its importance is. If there is no importance to life, then maybe there is no afterlife at all.

First, let me preface this by saying that this is going to a bit long and that I'm not highly religious. I always believed that if you lived your life morally and right, God or the cosmos or what have you, would reward you in a way. You would be able to affect people's lives by the way that you live.
So I've lived my life well- I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, engage in pre-marital sex, am always kind, and work hard helping others, however, I'm losing my faith that its all meaningful. It seems to me that people in general are becoming too superficial. There is no more great search for knowledge and truth and TRUE beuty. People don't trust people anymore- always thinking the worst ulterior motive, even when there is none. I feel like I'm fighting a dying battle to keep a little bit of innocence and purity. Am I just being naive thinking that if I keep living my life the way I am, will "reward" me in the end? Am I the only one who feels like this? Am I the only one who thinks that we're not progressing but rather giving in to our most carnal urges? I'm losing faith and I know eventually all the people I help will feel it by the way I treat them. Your input would be appreciated. (link)

Personally, I believe God is trying to get your attention. He's trying to show you that there is more you must do than just be a good person. Unless you have given your life to Christ, all your good works are in vain. However, if you have given your life to Christ and you are going to Heaven when you die, have faith, God promises us rewards in that life. He's warned us that man in naturally evil so of course the world around you is going to be evil but don't give up. The greater evil you overcome, the greater your rewards will be in heaven.

I am jewish, people tell me all the time that in their religion there is a trinity of some sort. My question is how can Jesus, The Holy Ghost, and _________ make up G-d? I dont know the third one either.
I'm just a little confused.

Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit all make up the trinity. They are all God. I'm a Christian and I don't exactly understand how this works but I have faith that one day when I die, God will explain it to me in Heaven.

I give advice on this site, and yes, I'm also a Wiccan, almost on the verge of being an atheist and lately there has been someone harrassing me about my faith, she has left 2 messages so far in my inbox, about God, and I've given her actual proof about why I don't beleive in God like that. What I wanted to know is, have I been the only one getting messages like that? Thanks. (link)

I don't know the exact situation but I'd just like to apologize for what this person has been doing to you. I am a Christian and I don't believe in shoving Christianity down peoples throats. That's the totally wrong way to go about it. I'm sorry.

I know exactly how you feel. This has happened to me more than once. Give it a try but don't expect it to last. I could go into this with a three page essay for you but I'll spare you.
