    Tell me if I have this right about your idea of what happens in heaven

    So according to some Christians and churches there will be no sex or showing affection in heaven. There will be male and female, but the genitals will not be used. We will eat and drink, so we can taste and feel, but no desire for physical attraction. Even though they have never seen heaven and...

    Sometimes I feel like the mega churches are all about the numbers.

    I notice with some Christian films out recently, the mega churches boast about the numbers. That may be a good start, but what do they do after the excitement is over? What do you think?

    Adam and Eve could have had children before the fall

    god told Eve she would bare children in pain, after the fall. Our ideas on sex are only from what happened AFTER the fall. Sex was corrupted AFTER the fall.

    I find it very sad when Christians put their opinions over scripture. Some examples.

    So many times Christians think god will lead them to their spouse. There is nothing in the bible to support this. In fact god makes it clear you decide who you marry. "This is what the LORD commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within...

    Is the earth really 6000 years old?

    If we live in a holographic universe (as I think we do), how do you measure time and distance in a hologram? Is everything just an illusion? The bible seems to say we are not living in the real world. What do you think?

    1 Corinthians 7:9 interesting Paul did not call for them to repent.

    1 Corinthians 7:9: "But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.". Interesting, Paul did not call for them to repent, he called for them to get married.

    In heaven we will have a body of flesh and blood. Very interesting because angels can take on human form

    "Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see—for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” Luke 24:39. In Genesis 6 angels had bodies of flesh and blood. Like Jesus, they can take human form.

    What would you do in this situation?

    One time I was at church. I was standing outside the sanctuary, checking my wallet to see if I had enough money to go out to lunch. This guy walks over to me and says, "You shouldn't be counting your money. Remember what happened to David when he counted the people" He was serious, he wasn't...

    GOD takes responsibility for manslaughter, pain and suffering.

    Anyone who strikes a person with a fatal blow is to be put to death. However, if it is not done intentionally, but God lets it happen, they are to flee to a place I will designate. Exodus 21:12-13 Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with...

    Is it a moral or legal obligation to pay a debt to a bank?

    Around 2008 when the market crash and people were losing their homes, many people filed for bankruptcy. I remember some banks posting that debtors had a moral obligation to pay their debt, no matter what the law said. My answer to them were, banks are not moral. The law gives exemptions to...

    How many Christians are all words and no actions?

    1 John 3:17 "If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?" I have seen this happen many times in church. Someone has a desperate need and Christians say things like "GOD want you to know you have to...
