To those of you arguing against the Word, if you win this argument in your own mind, and there is no afterlife as was promised to true believers, what do you look forward to after your threescore years and ten?
g A brake from His followers... Yep.

Steelhead, after years of reading your posts, I think I finally found a mistake.
break, not brake.
but I agree with the spirit of your post No, death has a stopping effect.

Be one Buddhist, Christian, or whatever; if they live a kind and gentle life and follow the golden rule, I pray God will see the way to let them in at the end.

I'm not the one that believes that God has a 'SPECIAL' place for me because I'm SPECIAL. We think too highly of ourselves and apparently need the belief of some fantasy island in the sky to remind us just how special we are. Worm dirt is all we are.

I'm not the one that believes that God has a 'SPECIAL' place for me because I'm SPECIAL. God has a 'special' place for us all because HE is 'special'. That special place is bein' with Him...bein' in His presence. But livin' a life here on earth and havin' a personal relationship with our Creator...without takin' anything in the afterlife into consideration...is a pretty good way to live.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Please consider listening to John the Baptist, Jesus, and the disciples he chose. You can go crazy trying to make sense out of Paul. He runs around in circles and judges and gripes. Jesus didn't ever mention "oh by the way I'll send someboby else who will seem to be a Roman agent, hiding behind a claim of conversion". Paul fits the pattern of a perjurer. I've seen it many times in court. A perjurer will admit to most of the facts, but make small changes or additions (lies) that turn the whole case around. Jesus and John both preached salvation through repentence. John very clearly told some folks to bring forth fruits of repentence when he detected their insincerity. Jesus very clearly said that the law was in effect until Heaven and earth pass away. Jesus said of men "you shall know them by their fruits". If you read Paul, you might want to be skeptical about this predestination of the chosen and elect unless you can find where his testimony is supported by Jesus. I believe Paul's letters are his but I don't accept them on the level with the gospels and the accounts of people that Jesus publicly chose. If you are a church member, look around. You see someone like Paul in the congregation, divisive and controlling.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."

Holt [bleep] this is funny. What about all the folks that died before Jesus? Do they automatically gain entrance, or did they all go straight to hell or spend eternity in some sort of limbo?

I'm not the one that believes that God has a 'SPECIAL' place for me because I'm SPECIAL. God has a 'special' place for us all because HE is 'special'. Prove this please. So being made in His image, with a conscience that allows you to determine that there is a right and a wrong so you can consciously strive to do good, as opposed to an animal which has no such capability, does not make us special? Heck, being able to build things like airplanes makes us special. He said we are wonderfully made and we certainly are, especially when compared to inhuman creatures ( animals).
