Answer #1

there is an after life

You BELIEVE there is one. You have absolutely no idea whether is actually exists though.

Yet another believer who thinks their god is so cruel and vain that he would torture people for eternity simply because they couldn’t believe in something for which there is zero proof of.

Answer #2

how about heaven? there is an after life and your choice here on earth determine where you go. except Jesus and you will know where you are going.

Answer #3

you cease to exist. there is no afterlife.

Answer #4

The vast majority admit they really don’t know…

Answer #5

A humongous dessert? Sounds good to me. I’d be a bit worried about avoiding the humongous dessert spoon, though.

Answer #6

I agree with kenzie - nobody can know for certain.

I, personally, believe in rebirth and that my actions in this life affect what life I will lead in lives to follow.

In the end, we all need to believe in what makes us feel secure, and readily able to accept death as a natural part of life.

Answer #7

well to be honest with you no one really knows. not even the people that were dead for a mintue. everyone has a different perspective on what happens after you die. some say you come back and something else and some say you go to heaven. we don’t know for sure. but I like to keep it at a open posibility. when you think of it, theres no real reason to know what happens later on, whats the use of that? so you wwon’t be afraid? so you can prepare yourself? well I don’t think its something to be afraid of or something you can prepare yourself for. life is just something to miss not something to be afraid of leaving.

Answer #8

When you die, you quit living in any sense. There is no afterlife.

Answer #9

Ecclesiastes9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten.

When you die you wont be concience at all. it will be like a sleep without dreams.

As for heaven and hell the Bible tells us that Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (this will happen when Christ returns)

God loves you and wants you to go to heaven. “…I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:3

No one is in hell now. When Christ returm he will judge who will end up there. Sadly they will burn but not forever cause the Word tells us that “And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 4:3

Sodom is an example as to what hell will be like. Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

The Bible calls this fire eternal fire, yet the fire does not exist today. it is only alluding to the result of the the fire. the punishment is eternal meaning, the city is gone forever. Its the same way with hell, the punishment will be forever meaning the people will be gone forever but the fire wont last forever.

Once again God loves you and does not want yo to go to hell.

Answer #10

Once again God loves you and does not want yo to go to hell.

So why does he send people there? Why even have hell?

Answer #11

whole current religions are false except 1

How do you know yours is the one? Of the thousands of religions that have existed from the beginning of civilization, what makes you think only yours is the right one? And if thousands of religions are not true, what makes you think any of them are?

GOD will ask you after death for every mistake you did

So this all powerful god of your expects you to be perfect and never to have made a mistake? And if you have, you will burn forever? Why would you ever want to worship something so cruel and hateful?

Answer #12

So why does he send people there? Why even have hell?

hell was created for the devil and his angels. 2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

But men sinned and joined in Satans punishment. Before man sinned God told them the consequences.if you check Genesis the only rule God gave man was not to eat from a particulat tree. God did this to give man the power fo choice.

Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

But becasue God loves us and does not want to us to go to hell, He offered a solution.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God loves you and does not want you to go to hell. but the choice is yours.

Answer #13

God loves you and does not want you to go to hell. but the choice is yours.

Then why not aboilish hell and send everyone to heaven instead?

Answer #14

GOD created HELL to put the Evil in HELL. Criminals , killers, Unbelievers , Followers of Devil , Antichrist and his followers ,…etc All of them are going to be in HELL. Unlimited pain the eternity after death

So, just to be clear, all of those deserve torture for all eternity? This from a just and loving god?

Answer #15

??? means

Don’t Christians claim their god is just and loving? How is torturing the vast majority of the human race for all eternity just, or loving, or even proportional to any sin anyone could conceivably commit?

Answer #16

To be honest here. I have no idea. but once you have hope in yourself and faith in what you believe in. you’ll see and you’ll live life happily ever after. Yet again. I think when we die our body stay on earth and turn back into the dust that god used to make us. Our soul would eventually rise to heaven: but I don’t know what will happen from there.

Answer #17

Then why not aboilish hell and send everyone to heaven instead?

God will not punish people for eternity. Unfortunatey some people have misreperesented the character of God by saying He will do this but I assure you He wont. people will just burn and turn to ash just like a fire burns paper into ash.

Secondly, God has warned that there is a hell and He tells us how to avoid it. If God were to put everyone in heaven, good and bad alike, it will be like recreating earth with all its evils. Heaven is a reward. Just like you have to put in work to recieve a salary, you also have to meet the requirements to get there.

with that said. people who have commited sin like murder, adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, lying you name it can enter heaven. becasue there is no sin too great that God cant forgive. all you have to do is humble yourself before God and ask for forgiveness and ask Him for help to abstain from these acts. He will strenghthen you.

Once again, God loves you and does not want you to go to hell.

Answer #18

I haven’t said that my religion is right, I said you should to figure out which one is right.

You said only one of them is right. If there are thousands of religions, and all but one is wrong, how do you know that they all aren’t wrong?

GOD created HELL to put the Evil in HELL. Criminals , killers, Unbelievers , Followers of Devil , Antichrist and his followers ,…etc All of them are going to be in HELL. Unlimited pain the eternity after death

So no believing in something that there is no proof of is enough of a crime to put you in hell? And you think that this god of yours deserves your worship. If he actually existed, I would consider him a twisted, evil, cruel and hateful SOB.

And anyone who thinks that that would be ok to send perfectly good people to hell simply because they couldn’t believe in such a fantastic story, is just as cruel and twisted.

Answer #19

Secondly, God has warned that there is a hell and He tells us how to avoid it.

Bullsh!t. If he really wanted to warn us, he would do it himself. He would not make us rely on the writings of ancient susperstitous men.

Answer #20

if I’m god then I created human and created what we call earth , to test my mankind believe ! I would ask them to believe in me ..

So it is just a game. That is pretty twisted and evil…

I’m your god and go believe in me Haha what you suppose people going to do ??

Uhm… Yeah… Doesn’t he want more believers? Instead he plays a cruel game where he provides no proof, but tortures you for eternity for not believing in somehting that there is no porof of.

..so why I should create HELL if nobody going to burn in in ???

Exactly. So he creates hell, and then fixes the game to make sure some of the people (that he created) will have to go there.

The god you descibe is a sadist.

Answer #21

Miracles are the proofs you need to get !

I’ve never seen one.

Books of God are Proofs

The books you refer to were written by men. Superstitious, uneducated (by today’s standard) men.

Prophets of God are Proofs

I’ve never seen or heard one. I have read about them in books written by men.

Your existence is strong Proof !

And how is my existence proof of anything other than I exist?

Signs of the hour are Proofs.

No they aren’t.

Signs been told in the past and we live them now (who’s going to know what will happen ?? ) Can someone tell me what will happen tomorrow or after 10000 years ? The Prophet we believe in has been told us and explained in detail all the signs of the hour (Signs of the end of the world) : -Past Signs (been happened in the past) -Present Signs (We live them now and they still appear nowadays) -Future Signs (What will happen in the future)

There has not been one event that has happened in history that was accurately predicted thousands of years ago. Of course anyone could look at some vague references, like in revelations, and can interpret it anyway they want so it fits some actual event. Certainly is not proof of anything miraculous or supernatural.

Don’t you get enough with all these clear Proofs ? (if you have real mind you’re going to get understand something)

No, I see the same BS that has been spouted for centuries. I guess my mind just isn’t real, huh?

Think about this (Proof from Science ) :

You don’t have the slightest idea what real science is about. You need to learn the difference between evidence and proof. Not that what your giving me here could be construed as any real scientific evidence.

- If there is a creation, there must be a Creator

Why must there be creator? And even if there is one, it says nothing about the nature of that creator. And who said there was a creation? Maybe the universe is infinate, and has always existed.

- If there is a Creator, He must be the Sustainer.

Why? Where is the evidence that there is a sustainer?

- The Creator Cannot Create Himself.

So he has always existed? You pretend to know this, but how do you know the universe has not always existed.

- If He is the sole Creator/Sustainer – He must be ONE.

You make so many leaps and assumptions to come to this conclusion, it is laughable.

God must be one. Otherwise we would see great differences and competition between the gods if there were more than one – Alone.

What a ridiculous statement. I don’t say that there is more than one god. I say there are none.

- Do we agree that this is a creation?

Absolutely not.

- Or do we accept that nothing came out of nothing to form this entire universe?

Who ever said we came out of nothing. I think all matter has always existed. Our planet and solar system evolved from that matter to a point of sustaining life, and we evolved earth, just like all other life, to the point we are now. There is no evidence of anything supoernatural about it,

As God has said in His Book: I only created you all to worship Me Alone.

Is he really that vain that he has to force people to worship him? He also says that if you don’t worship him, he will torture you for eternity.

That is some kind and loving god you have there. As a said, your god is sadistic and cruel.

Answer #22

No one knows what happens to you when you when you die but there are heaps of that can happen to you it’s just what you believe in some say when you die you come back as an animal and some say you go to heaven or it depends on how you die. So how knows.
