    Why can't I go to heaven?

    You would go to Hell because the sins you have committed carry a punishment. That punishment must be paid for justice to be served. There is no such thing as a 'good person' because 'good people' don't do 'bad things' and we've all done 'bad things.' So you have two options: 1) take on the...

    Republican Ron Paul and Media Ignorance

    It was actually a perfect attempt and the only one that would work. Think in the child/parent realm for a moment, because that's the easiest way to understand our relationship with GOD; if you faced no punishment for doing something wrong you would 1)never learn that it was wrong and...

    Want a theocracy? Vote Santorum!

    There's plenty of blame to go around - the problem is we see liars and thieves differently because of the suit they wear and the letter next to their name - it doesn't matter whether it's conservatives or liberals that lie, cheat and steal because they BOTH do it. Don't be fooled by the...

    Want a theocracy? Vote Santorum!

    The funny thing is that I believe he is totally correct. But he mixes spiritual warfare and politics - which is a TERRIBLE idea. This kind of stuff should come from a pulpit, I think it would be a fascinating study and series, but it should NEVER come from a politician's mouth or from the...

    Republican Ron Paul and Media Ignorance

    GOD never changed, it is we (humanity) that have changed. Our circumstances have changed and the point on the timeline of GOD's plan changed too. The entire OT was a way for GOD to introduce Himself to humanity, make Himself known, and to pave the way for Christ to come. Once Christ came, died...

    Republican Ron Paul and Media Ignorance

    I know about most of the instances you are referring to. I just want to point out that everything in the OT you mentioned applied ONLY to the nation/people of Israel because they were ruled by GOD alone in the form of government known as a theocracy. Once the old covenant was ended and the new...

    Rapture: what will happen to the one who don't make the cut.

    I don't think that once the rapture happens you have 'no more hope for being saved.' Christ still died on the cross and rose from the dead - you accept that by faith and believe it with all your being and you should 'make the cut' - but if it's after the rapture you don't get immediately...

    Want a theocracy? Vote Santorum!

    I mostly agree. It is always sad to see people not think for themselves and blindly follow along hook, line and sinker because they see a R or D next to a name or live in a blue or red state.

    Want a theocracy? Vote Santorum!

    Another reason why he is a serious contender - the elite want another 4 years of Obama because it means free hand outs and expansionism and bigger government and more serious fundamental disagreements between the American people.

    Want a theocracy? Vote Santorum!

    Of course he is a serious contender - his political views would drive an even larger wedge between the people of this country and lead to a violation of even MORE of our freedoms - and the elite would love that! Plus there are a lot of 'Christians' in this nation that don't fully understand...

    Republican Ron Paul and Media Ignorance

    What is so bad about a country founded and run based upon a Christian moral system - many of these morals shared by other religions and common sense such as don't murder, don't steal, don't lie and whatnot - that, just like GOD Himself, still allows for the freedom of the individual? These laws...

    Republican Ron Paul and Media Ignorance

    And are teachers currently allowed to decide or are they forced to follow strict guidelines handed to them in the form of curriculums and plans designed not to challenge and educate the children about a variety of topics, regional issues or history, but rather to prep them to pass a meaningless...

    Republican Ron Paul and Media Ignorance

    The concept of race is a collectivist idea - you judge a large group of people based on a single identifier, such as the color of their skin. Therefore racism is collectivist. Ron Paul, according to his own writings and words, is as anti-collectivist as it gets. He views people as individuals...

    How is the Department of Education important? Education is certainly important, but the department? What does the department do that is so important? Personally I see most governmental departments as black holes for $$$ and ripe for corruption. Besides, who can better decide what your...

    Heaven or Hell | The choice is yours

    I want to go to heaven because that's where my Creator is. All the other people I know in this life are secondary. I'm going where Christ is.

    If you believe in free will, respond to these two objections

    Do you differentiate between caused and influenced? If I plan to go running and there is a tornado warning and lightning storms outside, did the storms influence my decision to not run or would they be a direct cause that forced me to not run? I ask because I see influences all the time - my...

    What does it mean to say God created time?

    Physical creation requires time because the physical world exists within time - it seems entirely possible to me that something which is not physical (GOD) could exist and act outside of time because that which is not physical is not restricted by the laws of the physical realm. I can't...

    What led you to your current religion/lack thereof?

    The realization that I am incomplete and lacking without Christ.

    Which party will you most likely vote for in 2012

    I followed the link and didn't find it misleading. Maybe I didn't read it carefully enough. Alex just broke it down by minority and worded it differently and presented it differently. I'm not a big Alex defender or supporter, and if I could find a better source for news I would gladly listen.

    Why does it matter if the Book of Mormon is true or not?

    So if the denomination doesn't matter and Christ is what matters (which I agree with), then why would 2 young Mormon gentleman come to my door and after I tell them I am a Christ follower and that I love Christ and all that good stuff, still want to come in and talk to me about the Book of...
