You mean you're not afraid of the judgement of fire? I read that both the good and the bad will suffer terrible tribulation in the end of days.

Oh my 'god'!
Are you serious? Just pray for jesus and you will overcome poverty, hardship and death......?
I start getting worried when religious people tell me the only way to overcome future hardships is to have faith in God, the same god that got us here in the first place......LUDICROUS!
It's easy to get defensive against unbearable ideas. Is there a reason why you feel you have to protect yourself from this perceived threat? It's just a question, nothing meant by it.
It just happens too many times that the original communication is impaired by defensive behavior preventing constructive dialogue and better understanding.

Just quickly, but isn't the old testament the only one worthy any salt? the other one has been rewritten by egotistical people who like to change historic texts. I'm all down with religion and the nice aspects of it, just not cool with seeking it in times where we should be pragmatic, instead of looking to an outdated irrelevant and also manipulated religious text, the answers arent actually in there in my opinion, we need to look inward instead of outward.
Thanks for the response friend.

Totally not an unbearable idea to me, not at all, and I'm not actually being defensive at all, just stating that I think its incredibly naive to rely on Jesus right now, it's also kinda delusional and could result in the death of many people with faith. To me it's not actually unbearable, believe it or not but I used to believe in Christ, I did some more reading and realized I was being naive.
I actually had a woman splatter herself a few metres from me as a child, had to wipe to blood from my face (I grew up on the train line), it's been hard to forget. But she did it because she was in sin apparently, she'd been reading too much of the bible.
What about me? I've had an awfully tough time with similar issues because of that and it cause much distress for me as the years go on, so yeah, I don't care for Christianity or their fixes, although I DO respect it, only if I'm not bashed over the head with it. Do you understand where I am coming from?

Skorpiogurl....why do you think Hell is a place of the past? I am wondering what your thoughts are...thats all.
Also...to add to this discussion I would say that our Economy would be better off without the Federal Reserve...they have to GO..only the brave men who do not derive their existence on money will this ever take place. Also, the leader that abolishes it will do doubt be afraid for his life...look what happened to JFK.
I think it is important during this day and age to not get yourself worried. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. In the end....we will leave this existence for another. Try to look to the light in darkness.
Love and Peace to you all!!! xoxoxox

You have JUST witnessed and FELT the power of a God, because you speaking to one... not to sound too "egotistical" or anything. I hate how that term is tossed around so freely...
What are YOU going to do when the riots come to your streets? This is a global revolution going on currently... the tsunami is building strength as it swirls from market to market (economics). Are you going to lay down and get trampled by the mob (bulls)? Or are you going to be a matador and grab it by the horns??? Can you grab the mobs attention and get them to feel what you just felt????
Everyone is trapped in this layered fictitious society... I'm almost fully awakened... almost ... but I see things clearly. That's why they fear me. That's why I had a random person send me a U2U yesterday here on ATS trying to entice me to ignite some riots (agent provocateur???) and I've broken free of some of the forced (subconsiously)programming I've had to go through... and the fact that my grandfather was a German... and a part of the CIA for the latter of his years... my father a Nam vet... yo I don't trust shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Hear me now (or see me, because regardless we're ALL being watched on the internet)... all Hell (reality) can't stop me now... cuz you dun fked with God himself.
edit --
Remember, even if you lay down and allow yourself to get trampled (taken over by mob mentality)... a bull is still meat at the end of the day...edit on 10-8-2011 by Nastradamus because: (no reason given)

The problem is most people think this existence is real...it should be plain that it isn't.
Firstly, religion is often used wrong. Religion itself isn't wrong, but how people interpret it is. The purpose of religion is to help some people focus and remember that this existence we're experiencing isn't real. A side effect of being born here is that we forget where our true homes are.
So most religions aim to help people abstain from carnal pleasures which entrap our minds and make us LOVE this world.
Sin is the love of anything other than another spirit. Sin isn't just smoking or drinking or having sex...some people love eating burgers and will miss this world because of food. Some people love gambling, some people love watching television, some people love communicating on the internet. If the bible was written in this day and age I can almost guarantee there would be a entry requesting we abstain from too much internet!
When everyone in the world realize that we have no problems...well this world would probably be no more good for us firstly. Every negative thing we feel, pain, hunger, etc., are born in and part of this world. We however are not. We're merely visiting here for the experience.
It's fine to participate in this world of wonders, but REMEMBER that this is just a visit, just a ride. This is where our problems arise in this world. There are those being affected by negative energy who seek to reside on this plane of existence forever. They've either forgotten everything or are totally enveloped by the negative energy we might call the Devil or demons.
Those people who love power and hurting people, love this world. In our natural realities, there isn't any pain or control, we're truly free. We have rich powerful people this moment investing in research to find eternal life on this planet LOL. They actually want to stay on the ride forever....LOL....they've forgot that we're just on a trip to the amusement park.
