God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit

[Son of Sephiroth]

The bible was probably written by philosphers in the middle of the desert as a way of explaining things they didn't understand.

PS: also, if god is the one TRUE god and the only one that exists, what about all those other gods that people worship or have worshipped? did they also exist because of faith? doesn't that mean that everyone who follows A relgion could potentially be saved by their respective gods? I mean heck what if the Aztecs had it right? what then?

Real Christians, not fakes, and the rest will be Left Behind.
God had this planned out from the VERY BEGINING! It's all over the Bible.
So, do me a favor: If you don't know God, after the millions vanish, find a Bible, and read through the new testemant.

If millions of people vanish who're like you, I don't think many people would read the bible cus they're not aggravated by people denying them free will.
by the way, just because you read a bible doesn't mean you believe. I have a whole shelf of bibles, all different versions (Yup, VERSIONS) including in ancient greek and latin.
People know god. They just don't choose to follow him. God gave man free will; Let man excercise that right. When it comes down to it, people will still be punished for their sins if there is a god.

The bible was written in Europe just over 600 years ago.
When Rome first converted, some high priestesses thought this:
There are many Gods and Goddesses, like sheets of coloured glass. But when it comes down to it, they all come together to make one thing. (In a nutshell)

well i like to think that there is a higher level of being out there somewhere.

but what is most likely is that god is an invention of mankind.

well, i guess we will all find out when we go.
until then, make sure to live your life to the fullest like every day is as precious as your whole life.

translation: have fun

Snaggle, Actually the ORIGINAL bible, which all other bibles are based on, was written like a couple of thousand years ago. And Chrsitainity was chosen by vote which I personally find hilarious.

"was he the son of god?"
"sure why not"
CHRSTIANITY INVENTED.

No, that was not faith, that was blind stupidity, people made those statues, eetc. and they decided to follow them.
And to answer your question Haiku:
If you belive in God, the TRUE God, when the millions vanish, you wil will also vanish. Also, Morman, Catholics, etc. that's DENOMINATIONS, NOT Christianity. Christianity is worshipping the TRUE God

Ok, MAJOR flaw there. if it's "not faith it's blind stupidity" doesn't that mean YOU are the moron seeing as you also "made those statues and decided to flollow them"?

Theologists aren't really sure exactly which Christians will "dissapear" during the Rapture since there is much debate on who really is a Christian. I believe that LDS and JW's aren't Christian as they say they are because they deny the basic doctrines that define what a Christian is.

The basics of Christianity is this:

• God created the Universe and man to love and be loved

• God gave man the free will to do as he wants

• Because of free will, man disobeyed God creating sin

• Sin became a rift between man and God

• God created the Law of Moses to show man that we cannot obtain salvation through doing good works. That by simply following a set of laws is virtually impossible

• God sent Christ to earth to buy us from Sin

• Because Sin is a sexually inherited trait Christ had to be conceived through a virgin birth through the Holy Spirit. Because Christ knew no Sin, he obsorbed the Sin of the Wold while ion the cross. If Christ was born naturaly through sexual reproduction then he would have inherited the Sin of Adam through Joseph and would have been a sinful man unable to save humanity.

• Christ went to Hell for three days to witness to those who were not alive at the time of his preachings on earth to save those who are lost

• At ther end of the third day he rose fro death and preached more of his Godhood and eventually left

• Christ will come again to conqure the world from Satan. He will judge both man and demon while Christians rule with Christ on earth for one thousand years. Even though there is still sin there will be no evil. The Christians will then judge the angels according to all they have done.

• After the thousand years the Trinity will destroy His creation of the Universe and recreate a perfect Heaven and a perfect Earth without Sin and Death. Where all those who loved Christ with all their hearts and all their minds and all their souls will live for all eternity in Go'ds warmth.

That is the basic Gospel if you will.

* God created the Universe and man to love and be loved - see my above bible quotes to see how much love he preaches, he preaches his own version of love that just so happens to promote richness among his clergy.

* God gave man the free will to do as he wants - besides the morality we still live with today that comes from christianity

* Because of free will, man disobeyed God creating sin - and by casting out adam and eve from paradise, and by flooding the earth, and by killing all those egyptian eldest sons hes totally clean himself?

* Sin became a rift between man and God - Gods done enough himself to warrent a lifetime in hell by his own definitions - hipocracy is the only word o can think of

* God created the Law of Moses to show man that we cannot obtain salvation through doing good works. That by simply following a set of laws is virtually impossible - The catholic church teaches salvation through good works - just goes to show how man made these laws are - Interpratation is all it really is. I personally interpt it as tripe.

* God sent Christ to earth to buy us from Sin - dont you mean save us? and a damn good job he did *turns on news to another murder/rape/theft story*

* Because Sin is a sexually inherited trait Christ had to be conceived through a virgin birth through the Holy Spirit. Because Christ knew no Sin, he obsorbed the Sin of the Wold while ion the cross. If Christ was born naturaly through sexual reproduction then he would have inherited the Sin of Adam through Joseph and would have been a sinful man unable to save humanity. - Sex=bad we all know that from the church, another example of distraction, if people like sex they cant be that attentive to god - more tripe they preach to keep people in line.

* Christ went to Hell for three days to witness to those who were not alive at the time of his preachings on earth to save those who are lost - shame he didnt stay put to pay for his fathers crimes.

* At ther end of the third day he rose fro death and preached more of his Godhood and eventually left - says who? was anyone actually with him? how can this be proven, hell at least the gospels were written by apparent witnesses.

* Christ will come again to conqure the world from Satan. He will judge both man and demon while Christians rule with Christ on earth for one thousand years. Even though there is still sin there will be no evil. The Christians will then judge the angels according to all they have done. - satan rules us know you mean? the 2000 year deadline has already passed you know, still no jesus to judge us all.

* After the thousand years the Trinity will destroy His creation of the Universe and recreate a perfect Heaven and a perfect Earth without Sin and Death. Where all those who loved Christ with all their hearts and all their minds and all their souls will live for all eternity in Go'ds warmth. - again, wither theyrerunning a little late, or its tripe. Seeing as im sitting here now and not burning in hell, ill take it as tripe.
