Well, that answers my questions.. and actually they are the same answers that were given to me years ago. They didn't make any sense whatsoever to me back then, and they still don't today. But, then again, they don't have to make sense to me. I am not a Christian, have never been a Christian, nor will I ever be a Christian. I don't like the Biblical version of God, and will never have any respect or honor for him. I do see Jesus as a great leader and teacher.. but nothing beyond that.
My blend of Unitarian Universalist, Pagan, Buddhist, Gnostic belief works very well for me. I don't propose to have any of the answers actually. But, I do know what is right for me.. and Christianity is not. So, I will stop my argument..lol.. and go and spend some time in the Pagan thread of the Spirituality Forum. I feel much more at home there...
Love and Light...

Spirituality, Jesus' sacrifice conquered death. For those who accept it. The war is not over till Christ returns. That is God being patient with a rebellious world. According to Christianity, after how many yaers will Christ return? Any knowledge of that?

So, in your opinion Dave, what happens to all of us out here who do not believe in God, and do not accept Jesus as their savior? I ask you once again.. What if God does exist and his plan for me is to do exactly what it is I am doing? How could you know otherwise? God's criteria for me might not be yours. You can only second guess the plan. I KNOW my life has been directed. I have no doubt of that.. and being a Christian was evidently not a part of that plan. I listen and I hear Dave. How can you tell me that the messages I am getting are not valid? How can you tell me that what I believe is wrong? All you can base YOUR information on is your own interpretation of what you THINK God might want for me.. nothing more. Love and Light...

Christ will return, Messiah and Mehdi also waiting for their time to return. I don't know who else we have to waiting for return!? Maybe we will see it in "Lord of the ring part 4" Pardon if I'm witty, I choose this way to tell my opinion, hope it wasn't offensive.

Spirituality, God's plans revolve around Christ. Jesus made that clear. What happens to those who do not accept Christ? They go to hell. don't you think that such posts are confrontational? never expected something like this from you.

Hi Dave... I don't accept Christ as my savior nor will I ever.. basically because I do not believe in the Biblical God. Without believing in one thing it is not possible to believe in the other. I do see Jesus as a great teacher and healer. There are thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of good people out there who are working very hard to make this planet a better place for all of us. They are teachers, healers, and men and women who sacrifice their lives every day for humankind.. and they don't accept Jesus as their savior.
So, if Ghandhi, Confucious, Mohummed and Buddha among many other beautiful and enlightened souls are in hell, I don't mind being in their company. I would rather choose hell than go to a heaven filled with people who believe as you do, and spend an eternity with a god who I consider to be angry, judgmental, egotisical, threatening, and abusive.
Hell, for me, if it existed, which I don't believe that it does, would be a far better choice. I would go there willingly, especially since my entire family would be there with me..lol... family reunion!!
Love and Light..
