Actually he died so we could have a personal relationship with God instead of having to go through a priest all the time for atonement. People in the Old Testament were still going to heaven before Jesus was around.

You are deluded. Have you heard of John 3:16? That was a by-product. He died so that we may get to heaven.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Right, so Moses and Elijah and Jacob and all those other righteous dudes who lived before Jesus was born didn't go to heaven? Also the "him" in that verse is God, since Jesus is a part of God.
by Anonymous14 years ago
No, we don't know. They're probably in heaven now, but the Bible isn't clear. But the foundation or Christianity is that Jesus came specifically to forgive our sins. Do not try to change that.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Jesus died so our sins could be forgiven. Your sins need to be forgiven to go to heaven. There were other methods of repenting before Jesus Christ.

Oops I didn't see your last point.
You are so wrong. Nowhere in the Bible does it say God is also Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Nowhere. Because that isn't true.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Holy crap, there is seriously something wrong with you if you're denying the trinity. And clearly you're young and know all the answers so there's no point arguing with you.
by Anonymous14 years ago
I'm not denying the Trinity. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are not God. They all exist. They're not one being, though.
Show me in the Bible where it says that. THEN you may call me wrong.

John 3:16 said that God so loved the world that he gave his only forgotten son, and whoever believed in him shall never die, but have eternal life.
by Anonymous14 years ago
*begotten. but the concept is right :)
by Anonymous14 years ago
Forgotten is incorrect. But yeah.
Gave his son, not himself.
by Anonymous14 years ago
As far as my understanding of the Bible goes, the people who died before Jesus came all went to hell. When Jesus died, he collected the righteous from hell and brought them to heaven, opening the gates of heaven as he did so.

Heaven is isn't real.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Actually, there have been cases of people dying and going to Heaven, but doctors and others brought them back to life and they came back and told everyone... There are books about it and everything. So technically, there IS proof. What's YOUR valid arguement for saying "Heaven isn't real"?

the mind plays ticks on you and could have easily imagined all of that.

Oh, magical sky gypsie, please forgiveth me for I have sinned by voting nay on this post so thou must now sendeth me into a fiery undeground cave where red people with horns and tails poke me with pitchforks forever more.

I'm pretty sure dude wasn't like, "yeah sure, nail me to some boards and I'll die for everyone." voluntarily... I'm pretty sure he was murdered.
by Anonymous14 years ago
well he was willing to die for god so loved the world, because he knew it was in god's will. but yes, he was killed.
by Anonymous14 years ago
Actually, Christians believe that that's the exact reason why he was born. To voluntarily die for us, so that we can sin and still have a chance to go to heaven
by Anonymous14 years ago
haha totally agree...i mean no sane person would be like "all right s'cool, go ahead kill me! i'm feel'n it"

I left at absolute morality. It didn't in any way prove that absolute morality must be true, only that it would be desirable for it to be true.

I know your arguments will be something along the lines of "Well, how was God created? You think this because you're human... ect." but I just don't understand how everything can be created without divine intervention, and I know that the earth is small in a colossal universe and can be argued as random probability, but everything has to have some design to it. It makes more sense to say that something created everything rather than random material creating something. It makes more sense for an all powerful being to have been here first to coordinate creation rather than other material. I'm not shooting down the big bang theory or anything necessarily, it just doesn't matter as much how things came to be, creation, big bang theory and evolution, etc. just that God did it, in my opinion.
by Anonymous14 years ago
I second this :)
by Anonymous14 years ago
If god created the universe he would inevitably have to be more complex and less likely than the universe. By adding god to the equation you are not explaining anything you are rather making it more complicated. This is where occam's razor comes into play.
by Anonymous14 years ago
I really don't want to get in an argument, especially over the internet now because today has been such a long day, but I'd say it would be a simpler explanation that a superior being created everything. Since a deity was the first thing thought of to have created us by mankind's first civilizations rather than any scientific matter, wouldn't you think that is the simpler explanation?
by Anonymous14 years ago
The simplest explanation would just be that the universe has always existed.
by Anonymous14 years ago
But wouldn't it make more sense to say that something created the universe rather than it always be there? I know that would imply that an omniscient, omnipotent force was always there, but that makes more sense than a random universe.
by Anonymous14 years ago
"but that makes more sense than a random universe" How? It doesn't. Aside from that any theory that introduces supernatural elements automatically becomes much less likely. Alright this is kinda going in circles, have a nice day.

Yeah, was about to suggest the same thing, and I didn't mean to force any views on you btw, just defending them. Goodbye.

i definitely think god created the universe. think of it this way. if you take a billion disassembled watch parts, and put them in a paper bag and shook it up, will a watch come out? No. someone has to MAKE the watch.

Hahahah I like how THAT'S the thing you try to defend. But no, sorry. I'm not going to try to argue with you because it'll just take up time I could be using to do something else.
by Anonymous14 years ago
i could have argued the other parts too, if you want... but seeing as you seem uninterested...
by Anonymous14 years ago
Yes, I am uninterested.
by Anonymous14 years ago
then don't complain about what i choose to highlight. i could tell you that god is greater than we can imagine and that he lives inside us as well as in heaven, because that's true. but i won't, because you don't care.
by Anonymous14 years ago
I actually didn't complain about what you highlighted, I laughed. Just letting you know.

@633456: Hallucinations brought on by a combination of pain killers and severe exhaustion. Hallucinations are mostly linked to what you were thinking of last so it makes sense that when someone who is dying who believes in god goes under that they think they go to heaven. Just because your heart stops beating doesn't mean you are dead. Your brain is still active for a few minutes.

Delusional Idiot!
by Anonymous14 years ago
Both arguments can never really be proven. My point, no one can know what was before, we can all speculate and do all sorts of rock dating and all that. But that doesn't prove or disprove one or the other. Personaly I believe in some sort of higher being, but I dont think that over the entire course of the bible going through time, and peoples hands, it wasn't changed once. I can't believe something came from nothing, and neither, the big bang or the God theory really tell me what was floating around before they decided to finally do something. The thing that annoys me the most about the God of the bible, why create a place to burn for Eternity because I didn't worship you. To me it makes no since that a God that loves everyone would send them to a hell. And with that, if there is a God who has a 'plan' for your life, does that mean that he picks who goes to heavan and who goes to hell? That is the biggest thing that kills me on the God thing. And if the
Big Bang is true, other tha...
by Anonymous14 years ago
He gave us free will to decide whether or not to believe in Him. The ones that go to Hell are Satan's followers. Its not because they don't worship God but because they do worship Satan.
by Anonymous14 years ago
So and correct me if I'm wrong, you're saying that if I'm not woshiping God I'm automayicly worshiping Satan?
by Anonymous14 years ago
no, I'm sorry I worded that last one wrong. What I was saying is that Heaven is for God's followers and Hell is for those who don't follow God. My main point was that we have free will to choose whether or not we follow God.
by Anonymous14 years ago
I'm sure that's what Jesus wanted everyone to believe.
