RE: do you know what God says about heaven and hell?
LOL reminds me ofan experience yesterday. While pushing my grocery cart to the car at 6:30 PM...feet killing me after walking in high heels most of the day<ohh the cost of looking pretty lol> causing me to be grumpy...and not feeling too sociable at this point...am approached by 2 young overly cheery ladies carrying pamphletsthat I will assume were "Witnesses," or something similar...they stop me and begin this spiel about family...so I "teared up" (nevermind the fact my eyes were irritated because we have had massive wildfires here in the glades for 2 days and ashes are everywhere - thus tears came EASY <giggle>
and said, "I don't have any family and kept on walking - leaving them with their mouths open searching for words of comfort and feeling poorly...(OK, so I really do have some family...perhaps I should atone now?) 
Let me add this was after Ihad already been accosted by a deaf manwho appears regularly in the groc store (he comes up from behind and touches me and I don't like that!!!) and thenhands out a card that basically says I am deaf...give me money! I get tired of it and I give him my version of sign language by shaking my head no and then he alwaysgives me this ****ty look like I am a cold, heartless bitch! Don't get me wrong, having a brother with Down's Syndrome and having taught special ed for years...I champion causes for the handicapped as well as donate regularly to meaningful causes...but I don't like being approached in the groc store constantly for a handout!

The good news is that about 2000 years ago Jesus Christ(God the Son) paid for everyone's sins or wrong doing by dying on the cross and rising from the dead after three days.
Jesus Christ had to be both God and man because He is sinless and therefore He is the only person who can get us into Heaven when we die because He is the only One who could pay for our sins.
The Holy Bible says, "That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God(The Father) raised Jesus Christ from the dead, you will be saved." {Romans 10:9}
You should not wait until later to get saved because you may die before you get another chance and you will miss Heaven.
The Holy Bible describes Heaven as a beautiful place where people live forever with no death, sorrow, sickness and pain. {Revelation 21:4}
Hell is described as a place of suffering forever for all those who are not saved. {Matthew 13:50}
If you want to be sure you will go to Heaven after this life is over just pray a meaningful prayer right now from your heart to God like the one below and you will be saved.
Dear God I want to be saved. Dear Jesus Christ Son of God I want to make you my personal Lord and Savior. Please forgive me of my sins or things I have done wrong in my life. Thanks Jesus Christ for taking my punishment for my sins by shedding your sinless blood on the cross and dying for my sins. Jesus Christ I now confess you as my Lord and believe in my heart that God(The Father) raised you from the dead. Amen.
If you just allowed God to save you then welcome to the family of God because you are now a Christian on your way to Heaven.
You can learn more about Jesus Christ if you read the Holy Bible and a good place to start reading is the book of John.
Please show this message to your friends and family so they can have a chance to be saved.

I suggest rron215 go to Iraq as there are so many people there who need saving and keep us updated.
I'd simply suggest that ifsomeonedoes not like a threads topic, you simply don't bother to click on it. It works for me all the time with threads about chrome and 18"+ wheels, and any other bling. I don't bother to click on them, and more importantly, feel no need to go into them and express my own opinions about how laim they are.
But all of the posting from everyone who doesn't like the topic, just getsRon's message about Godup to the top for that much longer. [sm=smiley14.gif]So, by all means continue to post.

RE: do you know what God says about heaven and hell?
It's a freecountry Fireman .. and though you may not feel a need .. that doesn't mean others feel the same way .. This has been a pretty unbiast debate so far and believe it or not .. I guess with the exception of the Iraq comment which was pretty unnecessary ... at least based on the number of responses .... some people appears to enjoy a bit of a intelectual exercise every once in a while ... Live and let live bro ... heed your own advice and simply don't click or comment when you have an issue yourself ... it just seems appropriate since that's what we are suggested to do.

RE: do you know what God says about heaven and hell?
More of suggestion, asI stated. Like you said, live and let live. He has just as much right to post anything (within reason of course) in an off topic forum.I'm just talking about those who feel they need to take a poke at his expence... what's the point?
But whatstrikes me as funny, isthat of all the racier topics posted, this one, right way, draws the "should we delete itflag", from his single harmless post. WTF!? If it's boring then let it fade away.. simple as that. But to those who believe, it might spark up a disscussion. So, does this mean if theres a topic I don't believe in, that is totally harmless, I can expect some of these same people to come in and debate about deleting it? It just seems typical for the day and age.
"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
And for the record, I DONT have an issue with the topic.IDO stay out of the 18"+ wheel topics..[sm=wakeup.gif]
I don't see where me going into them to poke fun at them would be called "a bit of a intelectual exercise". It just seems much more simple for me to leave that thread to those who have an interest in it... and let them talk about their bling until their hearts content.
But, of course, I'm wrong.[&:]
