    My objections to the claim of God's perfection

    Christians claim that God is perfect. But, I have my personal reasons for thinking He's imperfect. I'll just share 3 reasons for now. My 1st reason is in regards to the 2 popular, Christian views of punishment, which are Annihilationism (the idea that God erases unsaved sinners from existence)...

    Are there Homo neanderthalensis in Heaven?

    This question struck me while reading another thread: For those that ascribe to a belief in some sort of Heaven, I was curious if your concept of Heaven is open to all species of human being, or if it is limited to your specific species. If your version of Heaven is open to all human species...

    Does an egg have a soul? Implications for heavenly numbers.

    I find the concept of a Heaven with eternal existence in a glorified form (soul and a body of some sort), existing outside of time and space impossible to imagine. Our bodies on earth are governed and constrained by laws of physics, chemistry and biology, but these laws I assume don't apply to...

    Man : Tri-Part

    - Here is the basic Christian Teaching on : Tripart Genesis said that man "1st Adam" was made in "Our image". "Our image" : = "God the Father, Christ the Pre-incarnate Word, and The Holy Spirit. 1.) God the Father 2.) God the Word (Jesus pre-incarnate) 3.) God the Holy Spirit. "3'. =...

    Knowledge of material things, closeness to God and imposters

    Personally I doubt there was a time when the material universe did not exist in some form, even if if only as a singularity. But let's assume that there was a time when God created the material universe and all that is in it. If such a thing was created by an all-knowing creator, then I would...

    The Comparison between Judgement Day and Terrorism

    In this video , Christopher Hitchens compares rapture, which is Judgement Day according to my interpretation, and terrorism calling it both Final Solution. However, Judgement Day has to do with justice and 9/11 hadn’t had anything to do with justice, for instance. Moreover, in my opinion there...

    A Question for Atheists..

    Peace be upon you everybody! I have seen a lot of atheists here on the forums, but honestly I expected to see believer not atheists; as this site is called "religious forums", but anyway I've had a really interesting question for those who don't believe in after life and think that Its all...

    Heaven - Being Reborn as Dogs/Cats

    Many people know that Hindus believe that we come back as lower life forms - bugs, animals etc First of all let us understand that Hindu ideas were never meant exclusively for Hindus - Hindus don't preach that way, these ideas apply to ALL of us. These are God's laws - they apply to ALL life...

    A Scientifically Supported Heaven (and Hell)

    I recently had an article published in the Journal of Mind and Behavior. It reveals, describes, and establishes that a natural, i.e., scientifically supported, heaven (and hell) actually exists. “Yeah, sure.” you may be thinking. But to check it out for yourself, just click on the article’s...

    The Devil's Apocrypha, by John A. De Vito

    I can across this book several years ago. I have read it two times. I find it very interesting and I have been searching for information on the author; but I have not been able to find any information in the internet. I have been looking for some time and nothing. Has anyone come across any...

    Earth as a Test Illogical - How Could I Believe?

    Heaven and Hell, the end paths of life are eternal. Life on Earth is temporary. Actions done here determine the final destination of the soul. Therefore life on Earth is a test. In Christianity, we assume that we only live one life on Earth, therefore the result of the test is final...

    A Heaven (and Hell) That “Is All in Your Mind,” Real and Eternal

    There is a heaven. (There’s also a corresponding hell, but I’ll focus on the heaven). It is not like the conventional heaven that most people envision, but I claim it can be the most heavenly possible. First of all, it is natural, versus supernatural—meaning its existence is supported by...

    A Heaven Is Real, No Longer Supernatural (and Ditto for Hell)

    At last heaven has been found! Well at least, a heaven. Although this heaven may be the most heavenly possible, it is not like the conventional one that most people envision. First of all, it is natural, versus supernatural—meaning its existence is supported by current scientific, i.e...

    Deferral of punishment and clandestine punishments

    The idea of this thread is to raise the question of the utility of deferring punishment, or secretly punishing people for crimes or sins committed that any god is claimed as the source for said punishment. A deferred punishment would refer to any time it was within a god's power to bring...

    Heaven and Hell Are Parties?

    I led someone to Christ yesterday afternoon, a very nice fellow who trusted Jesus for salvation, and it got me thinking. When people say, "I want to party in Hell with my friends!" do they realize they are saying they have friends like: Hitler Pol Pot Mao Tse Tung Stalin and do people realize...

    Is there an afterlife?

    Just wanted to say thank you for the feedback yesterday on my video about religion. My question for you guys is, do you believe there is life after death? If yes, tell me why. And if no, tell me why as well but explain to me on how you deal with knowing there is just this life and no other.

    Do different religions have a different idea of heaven/hell? How is this possible?

    For example, there is only ONE New York city, and everyone regardless of their religion knows this and they would probably know what you were talking about if you said you were going to New York city. Therefore, assuming that heaven is supposed to be a place that actually exists, it stands to...
