As far as I remember: "Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself." NO human is worthy to judge as I recall, only God can.
What does that even have to do with?
The problem with believing in God and Heaven without any evidence is not that it is illogical, just that it is inconsistent. In all other aspects of your life you presume that nothing exists until you have evidence for it. But as soon as God is mentioned, you presume that everything exists until you have evidence against it. One has to choose one of those principles and apply it to both God and unicorns.
The Bible uses the objective to prove the subjective. The Bible was way ahead of it's time, take for example Job 26:7 "He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing." Ancient mythology always said that the Earth was being lifted up by something, such as a god, or sitting on another surface. In the ancient world, this surely would have been a radical concept that science has proved true today.
And that's just one example.
What? Stating animals have no souls? That's the truth and most of you think it will happen to yourselves. When I say this I don't mean there will never be animals in heaven, there will (most likely), but probably not your dog marley.
This.
No sorry I'm pretty sure Hitler was Catholic. He talks about Jesus a couple times in Mein Kampf and one of the reasons for his hatred of Jews was that they killed him.
And yeah Jesus was Jewish but you know. He's Hitler, he doesn't make much sense.
Here's a picture of him shaking hands with a cardinal:
DID YOU HEAR WHAT I FRIGGIN' SAID?!!? It's not whether or not you just accept Christ, you have to actually pursue His teachings and follow His will for your life. There will always be forgiveness for your wrongdoings, but it would be totally wrong to do something just because God will forgive you later. And just to let you know, Hitler killed jews, retards, and homosexuals because of his Darwinian perspectives; he thought what he was doing was right because he was helping the human race progress past these "deformations."
Now, please don't get me wrong, I know Darwinism doesn't automatically = Nazi, but it all did come off of Darwinism.
I also don't really understand, does that mean that only Christians can have a cool afterlife? Because you can bet that guys like Gandhi, the Dalai Lama or the Jewish holocaust victims are far more deserving of heaven than Jerry Falwell or Ratzinger ever will be.
So why do non-Christians exist?
And don't say "well they haven't embraced God" or something, I'm talking about different theologies from around the world before Christianity spread and before it even existed; what about them? Why did they exist? Why did God put humans who had no chance of believing in him on the Earth and then not let them into paradise?
To whom much is given much will be required; to whom little is given little will be required.
The Bible doesn't say anything about those who have never heard of Christ, but we know that God is just and fair. To those who havn't heard, they will be judged according to what they do know.
What?
What does that even mean!?
Are you saying that animals don't matter because they're entirely physical manifestations? Are you saying animals are like complex machines?
Well, yes, I am saying that they are complex machines, but that's not to say they don't matter. They all play an important part of the grand design of the ecosystems God has created. They are wonderful creatures, they just don't have souls.
What about the fact humans are animals? What about the fact animals can be just as emotive as humans? I think you're drawing a bigger line between us and other animals than there actually is.
Genesis 1:27 says that God created man in his image, which has many interpertations, but I think it is reffering to the aspect of actually having a soul.
Wow God has some kind of inferiority complex doesn't he? You worship God for your entire life and you be a good Christian and then in paradise the only thing that's really promised is worshipping God for eternity.
Oh, you don't see! When you've lived your whole life pursuing Him, and delight yourself in the Lord as the Bible says, there's just nothing greater you can imagin than being in his presence praising His holiness. I'm sorry, I just can't seem to find the words for what I want to say.
