Well psymon23 you are clearly a man of great faith! With serious consequences if your faith is misplaced. Have you ever seriously considered the possibility that you may possibly be mistaken? What that might mean? What If there really is an eternal existence after death? What if there is a God? What if you are answerable?
Following pure reason - it is far safer to believe and be mistaken. To live as if there is a God and one is answerable and then to simply find at the end it is lights out is not such a bad thing really. The alternative would scare the pants off of ME... To live as if there is no God and one is not answerable and to discover at death that you have been mistaken.....

That may work for you but I see it tho other way, what if there isn't a God? What if this is it? If I was to not take every opportunity that comes my way then I'd be missing out in my eyes all I know for certain is that this life is happening there may be an "After life" but if not then I'm making this one the most amazing life ever.
I don't hurt anyone along the way and I experience so many things and emotions and if I'm being honest I'm as happy as anyone I've ever met.
I figure that if someone is happy and in love and can bring joy to someone else that's all that matters no matter what faith or religious beliefs they may have.

psymon23 I will pray for you to see how impossible it is to live without hurting anyone, be honest with your self. I challenge you to walk through 40 days, paying close attention to your conduct. Check for the following:
Have I been kind to everyone I have contacted today?
Have I been looking to the best interests of my self and what I want or to what is really kind?
How has my conduct affected others? Has it impacted them for good or harm?
Let me know how this works for you?
Are you up for the dare?

If you want to talk literal then yes every single person will hurt or offend someone in their lifetime but I mean I'll never intentionally do anything to harm another physically or emotionally. You don't need to pray for me I'll be ok instead of asking "God" for help I deal with any problems like a responsible adult I do it myself.

Heaven forbid I should ask you to avoid responsibility in any way! This is not my intention I assure you!
Secondly: I wasn't talking about your whole life - I was talking about 40 days.
OK I'll accept 40 days without "intentionally" hurting anyone as previously described.
So...
Are you up for it now?

Doctrine comes from the Holy Bible. The Holy Scriptures and the descendants of witnesses from the age of Jesus make up the fabric of Jesus servatude. Another name for the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. There is only one truth. Check this and see if it makes sense to answer your question: Law of non-contradiction | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry
The truth of the matter is that there are principles in other religions that are contrary/clashing/contradicting to the message of Jesus Christ. And like you attested to, Jesus did claim: "I am THE way the truth and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father BUT THROUGH ME (John 14:6)." If you don't have the faith to say that what Jesus proclaimed is true, then pray to God to give you the gift of faith. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17)."

a Vietnamese fixed four sticks of incense into four little mounds and lit them,one is for Buddha,one is for Jesus,one is for Chinese emperor,one is for Joan of Arc.A guy asked him why he worshiped this way,he said there would be one of them that works anyway...-_-
We follow our sense then Jesus is there by the door to Heaven,our sense is the only way we can be directed to somewhere a kind of power exists,though it might be blind sometimes...i believe God's Almightiness,that is what i sensed,then i dont need to figure out why He led or let some people's minds to go other directions( when i can never figure it out at all!)

I've not seen anyone advocating we go fly planes into the Burj Dubai, or the Petronas towers as part of a Holy War.
