I'm so messed up I'm agnostic thinking about turning back into a christian or turn into an athiest.. I'm so scared if I turned into an athiest I'll go to hell If there really is a god... If I turn into a christian I'll be believein in something that may not be real? I cried about this.. Should I just turn into an athiest and if there really is a god go to hell for it.. Or should I turn into a christian and believe and god and maybe go to heaven if god is real?
No one can tell you what to be. You will be believing in something someone told you to. God loves the sinners, he hates the sin. God gives you a choice to follow him. Hell is the eternal seperation from God. The devil chooses all the fire and suffering down there. You should really follow your heart. If you can't think of a choice, just stay agnostic. Don't go atheist if you are uncertain what you believe in.

In the Bible doesn't it say that we shouldn't pray aloud to show off? That instead we should pray in the privacy of our own room? (not the exact words) If that is so then why do people go to church? I'm christain but I don't believe that going to church makes a difference in how we are seen in God's eyes. Everyone pressures me to go to church saying that it will "lead me in the right direction" but I don't think it matters if I go to church or not.
Does it matter?
I totally agree with you. It really pisses me off when someone says I am an atheist because I don't go to church. I think church is boring and pointless. I love God and could learn about him and pray to him in the privacy of my own home. I don't think it matters if you go to church or not, as long as you follow the word of God.

okay. i thought that this day, 6/6/06 was the day the anti-christ was supposed to be born. but everyone is saying we are all gonna die today, but the bible doesnt say anything about this. so what is actually happening today?
I know this answer is a little late but.. the original 6/6/6 was 2,000 years ago and nothing bad was recorded on that day. If you want to really break it down, two days ago it was 6/6/2006. So it really wasn't 6/6/6. Also, God decides when the world ends, not the devil. He wouldn't have the world end on a day that has the number of the devil.

i am really scared. (no this isnt anything to do ith 6/6/6 its just that 666 got me thinking of this) when the world ends, how exactly is it going to end? i do not have very good knowledge of the bible. i know that no one knows, but everyone says all this horrible ways like it will go up in flames. but why would god torture us like that? why can't he just make everything dissappear in a split second? why would god want to make the world end in a horrible way, and why would he even want the world to end. please explain this is a clear way cause im not good with this stuff. and pleaaaaaaaaseplease don't say "don't worry about it wont happen/it wont happen in your lifetime"
If you ever read the bible, or read passages from it online, you will come to find out that the devil was an angel who was jealous of God's power and wanted to over rule God. God let the devil have his own kingdom but was forever seperated from God. The devil has powers just as God does.
Here is the end of the world.. starting with the Tribulation-- There are 4 seals in the Tribulation.
First seal-There is going to be a man riding on a white horse. He is going to be a very handsome, strong political figure that everyone will love. He is going to end all wars and suffering. However, he is the anti-christ.
Second seal- The second rider, on a red horse symbolizes war. There will be a war over the Holy Lands. The fighters are going to try to take out God's chosen people of Israel.
Third Seal- Famine. A rider on a black horse will come. He is the symbol for famine. Millions of people world wide will die of starvation.
Fourth seal- The rider will be coming on a pale colored horse. This symbolizes plagues and death.
Then comes the seven years of peace around the world.
Then is the second coming of Christ. He will come down to earth to begin judgement. All of his followers are going to just dissapear in midday and go up to heaven to forever live up there. The rest have the choice to become born again christians and Christ will come down again for a second judgement. The rest are left with the anti-christ which they will spend eternity in hell.

It is pretty much impossible for me to empathize/understand people who believe in God and religion. I am fully against both of them, for a long list of reasons that I don't need to go in to. The deal is, people tell me I'm being sacreligous/a heretic/going to hell, but I can't understand where they're coming from AT ALL. To me evangelists and deeply religous people just seem like pitiful, misguided puppets of a nonexistent power. It tends to screw up my relationships with people.... Any advice?
When a friend of yours now or someone new you meet brings up religion tell them that you don't feel comfortable talking about religion and that it has messed up your past relationships getting into all that stuff. Remind them that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to stop being so narrow minded.

Do you believe that "God" has already planned out our destiny, or do you believe we make our own destiny?
And do you believe everything happens for a reason, or do you feel that's just some clever line a thinker thought up to try to reduce the amount of stress and anger in our lives?
I think that we make our own destiny. I'm sure God doesn't plan out people murdering people. People make their own decisions. I think that everything happens for a reason. If you have a breakup or something, then you find someone better and you realize you are happy that you did breakup with your partner.

Ok here is a question that ponders my mind my mind, any ideas about the answer?? Where do the dinosaurs come in the bible?? and also if God existed forever then what was he doing before he created earth??
You are asking people on advicenators a question that nobody could answer. People today are STILL arguing whether dinosaurs really exsisted and what happened to them. Of course they aren't mentioned in the bible they were alive like 65 million years ago - way before people. The bible was only written like 2000 years ago or something. Nobody knows what God was doing before he created the earth because no one has ever talked to God so no one would know the real answer to these questions.
EDIT--
"uh huh... ok no one was around when adam and eve were there, to write tha bible at least, the 12 apostles wrote the bible and they wrote down what happened cuz Jesus told them duh, if dinosaurs existed (whicht hey do) im wondeign WHy they wrerent mentioned"
The dinosaurs were here MILLIONS of years before Adam and Eve, that's why no one even knew about them. It was recently that we started digging up and learning about dinosaurs. So now why did you give me a one?

okay well you see, my cousins from arizona came up for christmas and new years to visit us. one is 16 and the other is 22. well they came up and they were staying at my grandmas hosue. well i wanted to hang out with them so i figured id spend the night (by the way both of my cousins are guys). anyways so i got there and my grandparents werent there. my cousins said that they went to dinner 2 hours away at some really fancy returaunt. well, they took me upstairs and they told me to sit ont the bed. they started kissing me and slowy putting their hands down my pants and up my shirt. since i had never had a real boyfriend befor they told me that they were only showing me what to expect when i had one. so thye kept doing all this stuff to me and made me do some weird stuff to them and practically forced me to have sex with them.
i know its wrong and that i should tell someone one but what wiill people say when i tell them i had sex with my cousins? please help me idont know what to do =(
♥ ~*me*~ ♥
It's not your fault. People won't think anything bad of you. They FORCED you to have sex. Two grown men forced a 14 year old girl to have sex. There wasn't much you can do. Just tell someone.

I'm pretty sure i'm a christian. But i sometimes doubt God and if he's there or not. Does this mean that, if i like... died tomorrow, i would go to hell. Am i not allowed to doubt God? It seems like the only people who are considered religious are the ones like "i'm sure he's real b/c i've read his word and i believed it" but... i'm a very doubtfull person and i can't just believe things like that. Does this mean i'm not going to Heaven?
You are what they call agnostic, which simply means one who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. You will not go to Hell if you died tomorrow because you still do believe in him. No one can surely know if God is real. You just have to have faith in him. You won't go to Hell because you don't worship Satan. Don't worry.

is god there? where is he, how do i know...
God is there if you believe he is. He is in your heart, mind, and soul. You know he is there by feeling his presence. He helps guide you in life and helps you in times of need.

Try to block all the websites with porn in them. If you have magazines, get rid of them.

is it wrong to think lustfully about others? i mean i can understand if it gets 2 be a constant thing and you objectify them, then its bad.. but is it really that bad 2 have inappropriate thoughts if its only ocasionally? please help
According to the Bible, yes it's wrong. It's commiting a sexual sin. But, to everyone else in the world- no it's perfectly fine.
[view]
Is masturbation biblically wrong? What's your view on it?
Well yeah, it's considered a sexual sin. I think if it makes you happy, then do it. God will forgive you for touching yourself. (Plus, studies have shown it is good for you!)
