are we all related?
i mean like tons of years ago, when God made people, he made Adam and Eve. Then they had children, who had children with their.. siblings (is that right? i mean nobody else was around.. or was incest okay then?) who had children with THEIR siblings, and so on. so then after tons of years it comes to today.. does that mean that Adam and Eve our are like great great great (etc) grandparents? cause then like everyone in the entire world is related, am i correct? but that confuses me.. because some people say that we all evolved from monkeys. i kinda believe it but i kinda dont, since i am a christian and i believe that God and Jesus are real. I mean the entire universe must have started from something.. however i dont understand where God came from. Who made God? can you put the answers in simpler forms, too? i am a 13 year old girl.. i read like some children bibles, but the big bible confuses me.. and i dont go to church very often cause we barely have time to in my family with a little baby, my mom who works at night, my dad whos starting a business in a different state.. so yeah. i really want to though, and i pray and thank god when i can. (usually before i go to bed) anyways thanks for answering my kinda long question.
PS. i have one more question. where did Satan come from? did god create satan? can you explain to me all that happened with that? and i know that jesus like was born in bethlehem to mary, then later was put on the cross, then went to heaven then came back. so doesnt anyone like know what heaven is like? why didnt they ask jesus what it was like and stuff like that? and how did jesus die the second time? and where exactly is heaven and hell? i hear its on earth according to my mom, like they are the spirits living among us. its just kinda hard to grasp

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
I think everyone is entitled to their opinion but please dont believe everything everyone else says, some of the other awnsers on this questions, are so disgustingly repulsively in my opinion wrong and i cant believe anyone actually believes that, anyway now to your question, yes were all from Adam and Eve and they our all of our ancestors, and yes incest was ok back then and i have a theory on that one, see Adam had to have enough genes to atleast start some of the many nationalities you see out there, not all of them because some are created by different nationaliities having sex with others, anyway the main problem with incest is that our genes are so close when were sibs that the baby dies from having genes to close, or it wouldnt be a problem, but Adams family might not have had that problem because their genes were so differerent to make all the different skin colors and stuff that it wasnt a problem- now i dont know if this theory is true, but maybe it is, and as for God ok this is really confusing and no matter what you cant possible comprehend it fully, no one created God he was always there even before the begging of time it says so in the Bible if you dont believe me, no one could create him because he was never created, instead he created everyone else, im highly suggesting reading a real Bible it'll majorly help with your problems and also go to church, they can also awnser your questions there, and yes God created Satan, even though he knew what he was going to do because God knows, plans and created everything, satan was just another part of his plan, i mean if you take satan out of the Bible the whole story is practically ruined, sence satan created a hell with all the fallen angels, and has sence continued to get after God and all his people, and as far as i know Jesus came down to earth, died, resurected then went back to heaven and he hasnt come back down for his 2nd coming yet that is what is called the end times, when all of the christians go up to heaven, and no one on earth has been to heaven and all the people in heaven arent in earth, so we dont really know and as far as i know, people in the Bible did ask about heaven but Jesus kind of kept it a mystery i guess, and there is revelations which talks alot about heaven, and heaven is supposedly above the clouds up by outerspace i guess, and hell is below the earth somewhere i guess below the solar system, and as for the whole evolutionist thing and the fact that apes have 99% of the same DNA as us, well i heard that 1% is so fricking huge that the DNA's are insanely different, i dont know google it figure out what you believe dont take anyones word for it

I'm not going to shove my beliefs down your throat, but I'm going to give you my opinion.
I used to think that the Theory of Evolution was load of shit, and I thought there was no way in hell I was ever a monkey. However, I recently watched a movie called Walking With Cavemen on the Discovery Channel, and it made very valid points as to why the Theory of Evolution could be valid. Not only do we share 99% of the same DNA, if you look back on the people that have inhabited the Earth before us, we looked like them, and they were indeed apes.
I was born/raised a Catholic. When I was 13-14 years old however, I came to terms with the fact that God isn't real. He couldn't just create himself, so how in the world does he get here? He doesn't. He's just some false being that people made up because they wanted something to believe in while they lived. However, God was said to be an evil man. I mean, he gave women their periods because Eve is a dumb bitch & ate the apple after he forsake her not to. Although a punishment is good, is that really how you want your God to be? It's good to listen, but it's good to think for yourself too.
The people from ancient times made God up. He does not exist, and he never will. Another reason why people made him up is because they wanted to feel comfortable knowing they were going somewhere after death. However, they know exactly where they're going. THE GROUND. That's where I'm going when I die. I'm not going to hell. I'm not going to heaven. I'm going into a casket & then 6 feet under.
The story with Satan is that he was a fallen angel who was evil so "God" damned him to a firy pit for all of eternity. Honestly, if you need the answers to these questions, ask your priest. This is really diffucult for me to explain seeing as how I'm 16 years old, and I'm just giving you my opinion.

Well HONESTLY, I'm NOT going to force my beliefs on you. For me,i believe in God,well, i believe that theres Some something there that is the ultimate force of good,and that there is an ultimate force of evil. You know when people say heaven on earth,hell on earth? I think, that heavens the highest of the high,hells the lowest of the low. But just because they're like that doesn't mean Heavens above the clouds,whatever. It doesn't mean hells below earth either,how could it be? Where it is? well hells not in the core,and heavens not above the clouds. Both of them are with us,hidden. The Anti-christ is supposed to rise in the most powerful and innocent way. Many people will fall for him,but apparently if you didn't fall for him, God will come down and save you ? Thats what I've heard. I actually God or some spirit made animals first,an innocent world. things turned on eachother,and over time people became. But if you think about it,aren't we still all related? You know...we all came from monkeys?hah,i don't know. But i do know that everything is connected and affected by our decisions each day. Where God came from? well..If anyone had that answer,it would be him. NO ONE knnows,and no theory will be true. Although i like the idea the first person said.
Yes, God created Satan,but Satan turned on him,God sent him to Hell,yippdedoo.
Jesus's plan was to do everything he intended,he went on the cross too save us..and to prove that he was the son of God. I guess you could say everyone has a plan in life. I don't find that fair at all. Thats why theres free will. But then the goverment put rules in and oh man,i could go on.
People who've died and come back all say they've seen heaven,and heaven is what you portray it to be,like,your own fantasy that you'll never have to leave. (i believe in re-incarnation though,soo i kind of dont believe in heaven or hell,ehhh)alright well i hope i covered everything,sorry its soo long,good luck!

Ok the person below me is a little crazy..
I'm Chrstian, and I go try to go to church every Sunday which i normally do.
WE ARE NOT EVOLVED FROM APES!!!
Adam & Eve DID exist..Don't call the Bible a liar!! thank you very much =]]
Satan aka Lucifer [in the bible] used to be the highest angel, but vanity and greed took him over and he got cast out of heaven with 1/3 of all angels who followed him.
So God did create Satan but he used to be good.
ANd of course people ask what heaven is like.wouldn't you?
Anywho, so i forgot the man's name but he had 13 sons..only one was good and his name was John I believe. One of the sons was the person who began to build Babyl. WHen God made the workers builidng Babyly speak different languages they went they're own seperate ways and...anywho basically YES WE ARE ALL RELATED!!!!!!
Everything i'm saying is true...I read the Bible and teen versions of it. I wouldn't lie to you.
and Jesus is going to come again in the future. Just as long as you believe he's the son of God, died for your sins, and repent. you'll be saved! =] Then you won't have to ask what Heaven is like because you'll be living in it! God Bless
and by the way, i'm 14
peace yo x0x

I am Christian too, however facts are facts. Actually in CCD they told us that the majority of the Old Testament is not true. Adam and Eve aren't real. As a result, we were not all born from them. I do believe in God, however, I believe in evoltion also.
So where did God come from? Well, this is my theroy. Scientist have proven there are alternate dimensions. I personally believe that God is in one of those dimesons. I'm not sure why or how. Chances are, I'm wrong. No living being will ever really know how God got here.
Satan was once an angel. However, he wasn't good. He wanted power. Therefore, God sent him to hell.
As living humans, we have no way of knowing what Heaven is like. Jesus did not go to heaven and come back. He was resurected and to make it simplier, came back to life. He did not go to heaven. Unfortunately, there is no way for any of us to explain why no one asked Jesus if he knew what heaven was like because we weren't there.
Jesus did not die a second time. When he came out of the tomb, as I mentioned before, he did not go to heaven. He walked around the Earth and preached for 40 days and then ascended into Heaven.
No one knows where heaven and hell are. That is something we find out after death. All we can do until then is choose a religion to follow that we feel explains it the most. What you and I must do as Christinas is believe in the Kingdom of God. However, the majority of your questions cannot be answered in this life.

EDIT: This is directed to the person above me, if they ever look at this. It was rude and ignorant of them to call me crazy. I have different beliefs. That give them no right to call me crazy. I didn't call the Bible a "liar." The Old Testament is somewhat untrue, but it is used to show differences between good and evil.
