    I got a candy heart today that said : "I hate my hair"

    Perfection at work there...

    I think fluffy puppies could get me to start a war; I'm a major cat activist. Haha, j/k I don't hate dogs, I just prefer cats to anything.

    I don't suppose you've seen the Month Python sketch of The World's Funniest Joke, but for some reason that really reminded me of it.

    yes, I see you point.... hmmm.. I'll have to look into that.... though, the many mantions thing, I'd say that in all those miles that the new jerusilim is, seems enough space for many mantions... the other verse though, I'll have to study on... I'm no expert either one that part, mainly prophecy and such in Revelations and daniel is where I've mostly spent my time studying...

    Awesome job there Anon on explaining sin from God's perspective.

    As for the different worlds and such... Corinthians is showing the difference between Earthly beauty and Heavenly beauty. Like the sun is beautiful in a different way than the moon or other planets or stars are etc... my faith stands on the Bible, I don't believe in additional books outside of it. To each there own though Muruwa, I hope you don't take offense from this, I didn't mean it to be so.

    Also...

    I am Born Again Christian, but I am not one to go preaching on the web.

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.

    No offense taken Everyone has a right to believe in what they want. I'd be making a hypocrite of myself if I told you that you had to believe in all of the books that I do.

    But what is God's Perspective?...If it's the Bible then God's Perspective is based on one's (or a religion's) perspective on the situation. Hence the fact that Catholicism teaches that there is Venial and Mortal Sin. And since perspective changes from individual to individual and group to group....then does that mean God's perspective can also do the same when it comes to interpretation?

    People have discussed these topics ever since mankind came to exist. You'd think we would have understood it by now.

    Roog, you're talking about people's perspective of God, not God's perspective of people

    Yeah, but then that means we do not know God's Perspective..

    Well according to my faith, God loves us all, but he hates the sin that is in us. Thus he sent messengers and eventually his own son to save us all from Hell so that we could join him in heaven where he wants us to be.

    Wait, if Jesus was a sacrifice for all of our sins, then why would you go to hell if you didn't believe in Jesus as the messiah? Wouldn't that sacrifice also be for EVERYBODY, regardless if you wanted to thank Jesus or not?

    No, he gave us free will. We have the free will in ourselves to choose if we want it or not. He's not going to force heaven onto anyone.

    You forgot the chief driving force--politics. Indeed, religion does play a big role in wars (mainly on the defensive side nowadays) . The government is the Juggernaut of War, plain & simple.

    I'm a Wiccan. So is my friend. But I was bapitized by an Ispiscable curch. I'ts a christian church. I have ingnored the fact that I was bapitised from since I found out. I am not really a Wiccan as more of a believer of Shamanism.
