<--- honorably discharged veteran (navy). There is a reason why I left. There is also a reason I got out honorably.
The uniform is nothing. It's the person inside who really matters. |

Get the book "Why men love b*tches" it will change your world. Awe, are you a "nice" guy???? I am if you don't upset me. "You won't like me when I am angry." No, really... I'm generally a really nice guy unless you do something really bad! |

i can see where it could help....have read parts of it.... i, just, like 'em sweet... Get the book "Why men love b*tches" it will change your world. Don't grumble, worked for me... I'm not a doormat anymore.... I'm sugar darlin' but I learned who gets the sugar and who gets the sh*t..... Doormat = turnoff. Be self-confident, and deal with people fairly = turnon. Be a jerk to people = turnoff. Telling off a jerk = turnon. |

I meant abstract. Just because it is difficult to understand does not mean illogical.
Also, if we knew how we are to be judged... then what use would be faith. We know how to find resolution... that should be enough for a believer. |

is it that no matter how nice I am or how much I do for someone..... I always end up alone? This bites!! Speaking as a fella who's often made the mistake of being overly nice to the opposite sex (especially in a dating situation), I can say that I've often failed in my dating attempts as well. So there are two avenues to take as far as this is concerned- - Keep being nice and maybe... JUST maybe... you'll find THAT person. or - STOP being nice and start treating everyone poorly. You'll probably get the attention of those with lowered self-esteem, but you probably will get a date in a sooner frame of time. Or: BE YOURSELF. If they like you fine, if they don't it's their problem. |

is it that no matter how nice I am or how much I do for someone..... I always end up alone? This bites!! Because you are not meeting the right guy. If you are really committed to someone, and it doesn't work out, it's because for whatever reason you and them = no. You seem like a really nice person . Yet... I can say that smoking would be a reason why I would say no. Probably the guys had their own reasons. You'll find someone great, just keep looking and be yourself! |

"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. Revelation 20:11-12 All of us well face Judgement Day, and I think God can figure it out or the mentally challenged will be able to choose to know God or not to. I also believe as stated earlier that all children or those with the mind of children will be taken to God. But also think this may cover your islander question. I have a cousin who is challenged and still at the age of 5 knew who Jesus was and was baptized at 9. From my work with her and her school I think if anything they have a much easier time grasping the concept and accepting it whole heartedly with out the questions we bring about religion. I have a niece who is do they know what God is because WE tell them or because God tells them? why doesn't anyone tell the islander? Another thing...a person does not have to tell the islander...it can be said through a billboard as he walks by...and wouldn't he pass by some kind of church with a little message on its front sign. It's out there...it's just his/her choice to find out more. oh this is meant more for people who lived a long time ago before most boats were made, and billboards would have not been around. absolutely no contact with outside world. it is theoretical but i am almost positive it was the case for many many many many people. i just don't think it would be fair for them to be in hell right now. Yeah... return to the idea that grace extends beyond merely hearing the name of Jesus. so you don't need jesus to get into heaven, just grace? No and yes. You need Jesus, because Jesus is God's grace for our sins... but that doesn't mean you need to have heard his name to have asked for his forgiveness. I know that's kind of an abstract idea... but consider it for a bit. |

Yet... maybe someone is out there trying to tell said islander. It happens every day. |

If he has never heard of Jesus and had no one in his entire life try to witness to him...then he is going to heaven...weird but true. Every person in their lives will be witnessed and it is their choice to take it in or walk away. (The islander Question) wait, he has a free ticket to heaven, even if he murdered and did not forgive, adultered and did not forgive, stole and did not forgive??? you have to be joking Um... you mean repent. And no, for another C.S. Lewis piece to be paraphrased (it's not right in front of me, but I have the book): 'Anything of good you have done in my name, and anything of evil you have done in his.' yeah, but the islander has never heard of jesus, do you see the problem here? when does he repent? after he dies and finds out he is in this strange place and is introduced to jesus....then they have to teach him about how it is wrong to kill...and then they have to teach him how to repent, and then ask him if he wants to repent? that would be the funniest site in the world Read my post above... repentance isn't a ritual. It's an act and feeling. so you are saying, without ever hearing about jesus, God will just judge us on what kind of person we are. (which he doesn't because he has never heard of jesus) Okay, you are being repetitive. You have not really read my posts, so I can not truly get my point across to you. I hope you go back and read a little, and consider that the knowing of Jesus isn't the sin of a person if they did not have access to any knowledge of Jesus. You are placing too much importance on limiting grace for the religion you are considering, rather than on looking at what grace would be extended by a God with no agenda but love and redemption. i did read what you had, i read and understood it. you have not answered my islander question to my satisfaction. it does not make sense that a person who has never heard of jesus can commit deadly sins through his whole life and have a chance at heaven, even if he feels bad about them. i feel bad about things i do sometimes, but it does not mean that i repented. you know what i mean, there are vital steps here missing for this poor guy. Yeah... like if he has a chance trying to live a better life. Or are you still limited by the concept of him not having heard of a certain name?? |

I was absent the day we went over that at Pagan U..........lol You must have gone to Playgan U then. It's covered in chapters 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and all the rest. Nope, it's been awhile, you'll see when you lose your virginity... Um, since that's not neccessarily in his control, would that be a problem? I am still kind of wondering how this got to be on the pagan topic, since Lily's comment was not about being pagan, but about being able to adjust in life... |

And only God will judge in this situation. But, the more the evil the islander does, even if he has never heard of Jesus, can not possibly go to heaven...not with the evil in his heart. but according to Robm248, if he feels bad about what he did, then he doesn't have to repent, he just gets a free ticket to heaven Bah, great way to state something I did not say. I argued with your definition of Repenting. |

Yet, if he has acted in a good manner, and regretted his evil acts, has he not yearned for forgiveness? Thus, since God is almighty, the man has asked for forgiveness if he has regretted his evil acts (for an almighty god knows what is in a man or woman's heart). so a person only has to feel bad about what they have done to get into heaven? Pretty much. Nothing is greater than asking forgiveness, even if only by regretting what you have done wrong. It regret you acknowledge your mistakes, and you yearn for a resolution. That, in combination with an effort to improve on what you have done and been, is repentance. |
