mankind Posted: Mon Jul 9, 2007 10:28 am Mankind is sinful So take my advice Accept the Lord Jesus The One we call Christ He is God in the flesh He paid the sinners price He hung from a cross The perfect sacrifice Has anyone cared enough to share the truth about Heaven with you? The Holy Bible describes Heaven as a beautiful place where people live forever with no death, sorrow, sickness and pain. {Revelation 21:4} Hell is described as a place of suffering forever for all those who are not saved. {Matthew 13:50} The good news is that about 2000 years ago Jesus Christ(God the Son) paid for everyone's sins or wrong doing by dying on the cross and rising from the dead after three days. {Mark 10:34} God the Son came as a sinless man. {Philippians 2:5-8} Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto God(The Father), but by me." {John 14:6} He is our ONLY way to God(The Father) in Heaven. The Holy Bible says, "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God(The Father) raised Jesus Christ from the dead, you will be saved." {Romans 10:9} You should not wait until later to get saved because you may die before you get another chance and you will miss Heaven. If you want to be sure you will go to Heaven after this life is over just pray a meaningful prayer like the one below with your mouth and from your heart right now to God and you will be saved. Dear God I want to be saved. Dear Jesus Christ Son of God I want to make you my personal Lord and Savior. Please forgive me of my sins or things I have done wrong in my life. Thanks Jesus Christ for taking my punishment for my sins by shedding your sinless blood on the cross and dying for my sins. Jesus Christ I now confess you as my Lord and believe in my heart that God(The Father) raised you from the dead. Amen. If you just allowed God to save you then welcome to the family of God because you are now a Christian on your way to Heaven. Now that you are saved, you should strive to live a godly life and you also need to be reading the Bible for yourself. The Bible is essentially God's instruction manual for how to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to God. A good place to start reading the Bible is the first chapter of Romans. You should also find a Christian Church to attend in your area. Have a good day, Ronald L. Grossi [email protected] (Use this email address if you have a question.) Please share this with all your friends and family so they can learn the truth about Heaven before it's too late. Some of them may not like the message, but at least you cared enough to share it with them. |

RE: mankind Posted: Mon Jul 9, 2007 3:12 pm come to think of it, Jesus never really suffered that much, in the scheme of things... people have died far worse deaths and endured more hardship than Jesus did... and all the while Jesus knew he was going back to heaven and into his daddy's arms, so really, it wasn't much of a sacrifice, since he was immortal from the get-go. |

RE: mankind Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:08 pm I don't really want to get into this...but... Jesus wasn't immortal, he was human..hence his death..his soul was what ascended into heaven..unlike Mary who ascended into heaven in full body, making her non human in some way. don't you think that the burden of being destined to sacrifice his life for the human race was a hardship like no one else has endured? How would you feel if someone asked you to be crucified for everyone else? But in saying that I'm not sure if he even exsisted so I'm not sure why I care. |

RE: mankind Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 1:02 pm exactly, imagine how much it would suck if we all knew our destinys. Knowing whatever we did in life was meaningless because we would end up in the same place in the end anyway. i choose not to believe alot of the catholic faith i've been brought up in anyway, cause i hate it how they tell me i'm a bad person all the time. |

I choose especially not to believe ANY of the Catholic faith. It's a fucking joke. |

RE: mankind Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 5:44 pm I know what you mean, alot of the teachings of the catholic church is so far fecthed and unbelievable, and it's funny because alot of people take the stories in the bible literally. But in saying that, for alot of people having a faith of some sort is what they need to feel as though they are leading a meaningful life. I personally don't need that, but some people do. I realise alot of people take this to the extreme and cant live without it, and this is when it can be dangerous, but for others it isn't a bad thing at all. I know people like you and me can live completely normal and meaningful lives without religion being a component of it at all, but we cannot dismiss the fact that this is not the case for everyone. |

RE: mankind Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2007 10:27 am Religion can have its benefits. It gives people grounding and direction in their life and that can't be a bad thing. Something to hold onto when shit hits the fan and life takes a big fat steamy dump on you. I've never had a problem with faith in a higher power, real or imaginary... it's the organisation, the dogma, the "thou shalt not's", guilt and finger waving that goes with religious groups that bothers me. Not to mention war, persecution, and the fanaticism that often comes with it. |
