They're not dead yet.

If They Are On The Right Path With God And Slip Up And Ask For Forgiveness, They Are Forgiven. If They Have Not Accepted Him, Then, Unless They Repent Before It Is Too Late, Hell Is Waiting For Them.

Would you punish every ant that cursed your name?rawsavon

My explanation would be....he gave humans free will...meaning they have the right to do what they want....if they choose to take his name in vain they will be punished when they die...but not here on Earth..because they have time to change their ways...

Well, coming from an atheist, I'd have to say that if there is some higher being watching over us, that they aren't going to act directly because they want us to take care of our selves or take responsibility for our own actions without them having to tell them what they did wrong.

He does not punish them on Earth because He is a forgiving God, He gives them a chance to redeem themselves before they die. MercifulKiller

According to the Bible, he has no problem throwing down plagues, floods and assorted holy vengeance upon those who anger him. I'm not sure if that counts as 'loving', tbh, although I guess even gods can only put up with so much.

I (God) will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the
land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land... But if you do not obey Me, and do not
observe all these commandments... I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your highways shall be desolate. :D still think ''he'' is loving

Judaism/Christanity/Islam.. aren't really that seperate of religions.. they're all significantly connected. and developed in the same areas. There have been many religions that don't deal with punishment after death.

I wonder how they would do that.

*looks at poll*

Obvious biased poll is Obvious.

Anyway I only know the core elements of Christianity. So don't expect me to answer complex theology questions.

:lol: first, I souldn't take the argumenets seriously in this site . Second, your options aer one sided.

THIRD, On What Basis You Gentlemen or so called athiests do you support your arguements? For a moment there I was like "wait a minute"!
How Could You Tell ALL This C**** ? Are You Effecient to Have This Standing Point, You Are A Drop In a Vast Ocean Of Different Faiths And Scientific Theories.
Are You Aware Of Them All? Do You Have Intellect About Different Points ? Or Are You Just Blind To Other People's (Not Anyone) Points Of Views just to win an arguement over the interent where nobody cares? Or are you just stuffed with pizza and got bored of your gameboy and then was like " oh let's talk about God on the Internet" God!

I don't really care if people choose to discuss serious questions such as this, but I typically only pay close attention to a few posts, depending if they're coherent, logical, interesting, ect. I've been in a ton of these discussions, and I realize now that it is more important to listen than it is to talk. Unthoughtful, provoking, rude posts don't impress me at all, and I see a lot of these kinds of posts around here. I get the impression a lot of times that those who think they have won an argument believe that they are right. That is just not so. For every person that wins an argument there is at least another that can out maneuver him. So the object of winning a debate is trivial. The search for the truth is not.

@gosh, you guys post fast. This was meant to be posted right after Ben's post.

When the ultimate reward is oneness with God, yes. Besides, no one ever said whatyou would be reincarnated as. Indeed, in Hinduism, you could be reincarnated as another human, or as an animal, or even as a rock.

If there is a god, I highly doubt that it would be concerned with our utterly insignificant lives. Darth-Caedus

faith is difficult and that's the price for Paradise. Also, life is not perfect and it's mentioned in the Books. It's a trial to test the patience of a human whether he will give up on faith or presist.
