got a question
Nice picture :)
thanks i like yours too
is there gonna be more people going to hell than to heaven:o?
Which is the correct religion?
is it bad to be atheist?
ive done many bad things in my life where am i going?
This is a philosophical Question. Not all people believe that hell or heaven exist, but according to what I believe (as an Orthodox Jew) people go to hell much more (unfortunately). Whether it is bad to be atheist no one can say, religious people believe that it's bad, whereas not god-believing people think that this is the only making-sense way of thinking (about the existence of G-d).
Last question you posted... no one can answer it for sure. I ca give an advice to try to change yourself to the better. BUT don't try to change from being very bad (to suddenly being) very very good. Don't just over the steps, rather go step by step first 'this' then 'that' ... you know what I mean ?
wow youre really smart
Perhaps, no one knows
but is it bad if i dont believe
i understand what you said but in youre own opinion what you think?
Well, if you don't believe in G-d ... I don't think tat you can change yourself like this, but if you are nice to other people and fulfill whatever you believe to be right, then you should be rewarded for that.
(What I am posting here is just my opinion )
yeah i love to be nice help and give
but i still being force to go to church everyday
what should i do
every sunday*
Parents force you to go to church ?
yes
Like i try to believe but i just cant
Well... I can't really force your parents to do anything, but I am sorry to hear that
why dont you just talk to them
@gahm8684
yeah but what am i gonna tell them
that you feel uncomfortable about those things
yeah
Well, it might also depend on the parents, some parents would understand and some parents would get very angry, or very upset/ despaired . I would just wait to see what happens after you become a self sufficient person. To say some things on openstudy is one thing, and your relation with parents is a totally other thing. I wouldn't risk weakening relation with my parents if I were to be you.
Unless you know for sure that nothing bad will start between you and them.
I'll wait until im 18 what about that
how old are you
14
why dont you believe
what is bothering you
but i think they wouldnt get mad at me since im an A-student, I help at home, Im always helping and been nice with others
i dont know is just that why am i believing in on some mystical power that helps people and others
when no one have ever seem him before
Yes true, no one can prove (or disprove) the existence of G-d.
i don't really want to talk religious with cuz u will probably get upset
when i was little i used to prey everyday
but think about it
until i realized that preying does not help at all
it just made the things worst
who created you
i didnt care and stilled praying until i had reasoning sense
my mom and my father?
sex?
not like that
i dont get that question
beyond you mommy and daddy
the stork:D
Does God exist? The universe had a start - what caused it?
i have the same questions maam
gahm, this depends on how and whom you are praying. (I'll say this, since we are already talking about this), according to my believes (and I am an Orthodox Jew) if someone is (for example) Christian or of any other religion, and he truly believes in it and fulfills all (or at least mostly obeys the commandments, whatever they are) he deserves a reward. (I think I already said something similar) Praying will sometimes help, but times it won't. It is not a tool of getting whatever you want, you know ? ... I can tell you one thing for sure though, start changing to the better (not only by doing better things, but also by NOT doing BAD things) and lately your life will get better. (No I am not convincing you to believe in anything, whatever you think is good and bad)
so you dont believe in the bible @gahm8684
@SolomonZelman what is a orthodox jew
He believes in some mystical power (as said earlier) so sounds like he just believes in an (invisible) God.
youre mostly right solomon
@lupita1995, 'Orthodox' means 'highly religious'
oh
thanks
@gahm8684 what is your religion
ill try to understand better but that helps thanks for clarifying my questions guys
Well, that's how God is understood by most of the people - ' all-capable mind ' or something along these lines.
or I should say 'all-able intellect'
almighty (there is the word)
@SolomonZelman you believe in God right
Yes (of course)
well my step mother says that we are just Christians we beleive on jesus god the espiritu santo whatever you call it on english and on mary the virgin mary
but not in jesus
Makes no sense, by the way how can Mary be a virgin and a mother of Jes.. (I am not allowed to say his name) at the same time ?
but we dont pray for mary
why youre religion does not let you say his name?
It says in the 'Torah' that their names (names of other gods) I shouldn't mention. And I don't believe (as all other Orthodox Jews) that Jes.. is a god.
jesus is not a god
All this is a philosophical question though, and just a matter of an opinion.
Yes, I don't believe that JEs is god either
so you dont believe in jesus
no he doesnt
According to the sources from History (everyone who reads history books will agree) that Jes... is (originally) Jewish. He used to be an Orthodox Jew, and he was given a death penalty. Now, Christians claim that it was Jews' fault... (despite that the executioners were Romans)
@gahm8684 why dont you believe in god
From hi words, I would conclude that he does ( whether he actually feels/knows that or not .)
from *his ...
This really shouldn't be on this.. But regardless, Religion has plenty of flaws and I feel this should not be discussed. It's too sensitive of a topic..
This isn't that simple, lupita, although I do believe the same thing (that Gosd created everything) no one can prove this. It is reasonable to believe in god or not to .... and I would respect anyone who thinks like (me or ) other than me
Lupita.. Some people don't believe in god. God may or may not be real. It's not proven and it's not... not proven. You can't force your religion like that on someone.
true dat (as some people say) ;)
i not tiring to sorry
it's okay, she was just explaining ...
i feel bad
I was only explaining, it's alright. For the sake of public peace- religious questions should be kept on lock u feel guise
Yes, kept on lock. Or at least not in Feedback Section (from now and on). Literature would be better place, quieter place and less likely for fight(s) to occur.
okay
