just a real basic question

yea but i mean, who ultimately is God anyway? aren't we all sons/daughters of "God"?... whatever that word means.

 

God is the creator of the universe.

And yes, but not in the literal sense, with Jesus it was literal

 

i dont feel like reading to see if anyone answered you already so here it is.
the bible says are sins are punishable by the eternal lake of fire (hell)
as a jew before christ, you had to sacrifice an animal every so often to be forgiven of them. when god sent jesus, the perfect human being pure in soul, to the cross to die, it was the last sacrifice ever necessary as long as you accept christ into your soul.
hope this answers your question

 

sorry with the ongoing questions.

so when is Christ supposed to return? and what about the AntiChrist?

perhaps 2012? baby.

 

No one knows when Jesus is coming back.

I personaly don't believe in the Antichrist, as I don't take the book of revelation very seriously. Some people however, read into and think there's gonna be an antichrist (the beast) who will take over the world and do a bunch of evil stuff for seven years.

I don't beleive this because it's reading into revelation a lot, and we don't really even know who wrote revelation. But this is one of those technicalities I was talking about.

 

gotcha

 

The Bible states that while no one knows when the end will be, Jesus and the apostles have referenced the rest of the Bible to acknowledge that there would be signs of the end and that these signs would mean that the end would happen soon, but that they would have to fit perfectly and happen all at once.

 

Honestly I didnt believe in Jesus even a little bit until he found me. Trust me bro hes real lol I prayed to many gods back in the day wanting a reply from one of them and I definatly got a response! Maybe its just me but when ever I put my faith in jesus He pulls through with something better than I could have imagined.
It works for me and im gunna keep doin what works. Honestly man if u look u will find an answer
Give it a shot whats the worst that could happen u believe? lol\
Honestly I couldnt give less of a shit if u find jesus or not. I can show u where the water is but I cant make u drink it. rettyplease:

 

I'm not trying to "find" jesus in the least bit. i'm trying to find the truth. i'm neither a believer nor a non-believer. i'm just as interested in jesus as i am in the buddha and any other religion for that matter. why people limit themselves, in this day and age especially, to one specific religion or "way" is beyond my comprehension. and i'm not only talking about Catholicism, though they do tend to stick out for me as the arrogant dumbasses who are trying to "save" everyone else.

why people are convinced that their way is correct and everyone else's is incorrect is utterly close-minded and just plain ignorant. to that i say you need to crawl out of your little of box of how you think the world/universe is and wake up. You need to realize that the universe is infinite and we'll never truley have it all figured out.

i'm also just as interested, if not more interested, in Lucifer as i am in Jesus.

i just don't know a lot about jesus so that's why i'm asking all these really basic questions about him.

 

Ask away, questions are the only way to fnd out things!

 

Haha, you sound like me.

If you're looking for real truth you arnt gonna find it in modern Christianity. They are (in my experience) close minded hypocrates who believe what they are taught because they were taught it that way. Not all of them are like this, just the ones who follow the church's teachings instead of the bible. I am working on my Christian faith, but do not fully understand the bible yet. What you need to know is that no one is gonna give you a two paragraph synopsis of Christianity that does it justice. If you want to find truth you're gonna have to look for yourself, and it won't be quick or easy.

Also, check out Taoism, I bet you would like the philosophy of it, but not nessecarily the religious aspect.
