Christianity

Christians regard Jesus as their Savior because they believe he is the Son of God who sacrificed himself for humanity's sins through his death on the cross and subsequent resurrection. This act of atonement is seen as a means of reconciling believers with God, offering forgiveness and eternal life. Additionally, Jesus' teachings and example provide a model for how to live a life aligned with God's will. Through faith in him, Christians find hope and salvation.

Where and what is "hell" according to the Bible? The Bible defines hell as the place where the dead goes, which is the grave, the world of the dead.

The Hebrew she'ohl' and its Greek equivalent hai'des, refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind.

The concept of going to the grave or "hell" is confirmed by God when Adam and Eve turned their back on His requirements.

Here is what He told Adam and Eve in Genesis 3: 19 "In the sweat of your forehead you will eat bread ( food ) until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return."

God's provision is in our resurrection whivh literally means " a standing up again" confirmed in John 5: 28,29 in these words. "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice ( Jesus' voice ) and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgement". Which means that there are people who practice vile things, due to their lack of knowedge.

So to answer your question hell according to the Bible is the common grave for the dead, with the possibility to stand up again.

Genesis 2: 7 reads "And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground. So God is capable of taking the same dust that we have become and form us into what we were according to his memory.

By the way the root of the word "human" is dust

The fall of Rome created a power vacuum in Europe, leading to political instability and the fragmentation of authority, which paved the way for the rise of feudalism as local lords sought to establish control over land and protect their communities. During this tumultuous period, Christianity emerged as a unifying force, providing stability and moral guidance amid the chaos. The Church played a crucial role in legitimizing feudal authority and offered a sense of continuity from the Roman Empire, which helped foster its growth. Thus, the decline of centralized Roman power facilitated both the emergence of feudal structures and the expansion of Christianity's influence in Europe.

Story of the Year, an American rock band, incorporates themes of struggle, redemption, and personal reflection in their music, which can resonate with Christian listeners. However, their songs often explore a wide range of human experiences and emotions rather than explicitly promoting Christian themes. The band's approach allows for diverse interpretations, making their music appealing to a broader audience while still being relatable to those with Christian beliefs. Ultimately, whether their story is viewed as Christian depends on individual perspectives and interpretations of their lyrics.

There is no hell or heaven for human beings. They are only for spirits. I guess that the heaven is just the sky and hell is the prison for spirits. Good spirits are free to go anywhere in the sky but bad spirits are put in prison for certain years. I guess that certain evil spirits are destroyed completely. Spirits' lifetime is limited. If what they (spirits) have said is true, they live approximately for 400 to 500 years. This is close to the Indian Hindu's belief that a human being has seven births. That means Hindus believe in reincarnation but I don't.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, instincts, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits with you on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and Gods you believe. Only these spirits make you remember them in a certain situations. All of these spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A mind is a group/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just like a computer's mind. After the computer is completely destroyed you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A brain is a device used by the spirits to control the body and mind. (A senior spirit or a chief can control other spirits) A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

In the 1880s, the South saw the emergence of several new industries, particularly in textiles, tobacco, and steel production. The rise of the cotton mill industry marked a significant shift, as Southern states began to industrialize by establishing textile factories that capitalized on the region's abundant cotton supply. Additionally, the tobacco industry expanded with the introduction of mechanized production methods, while the steel industry began to take root, particularly in Alabama and other states rich in natural resources. This industrial growth contributed to a gradual economic transformation in the post-Civil War South.

Trinity knows Neo is The One because she experiences a profound connection with him, reinforced by a prophecy that states The One would be able to manipulate the Matrix. Her belief is solidified when she sees Neo perform extraordinary feats, particularly when he begins to exhibit abilities that transcend the limitations of the Matrix. Additionally, Trinity's love for Neo deepens her conviction, as she recognizes the significance of their bond in the larger battle against the machines.

Ellen G. White emphasized the significance of baptism as a symbol of a believer's commitment to Christ. While she acknowledged the practice of baptizing in running water, she did not specify it as a strict requirement. Instead, her writings focused on the importance of the baptismal experience itself, highlighting the need for sincere repentance and faith, regardless of the water's source. Overall, her teachings encouraged the practice of baptism to reflect genuine spiritual transformation.

If Jesus' story was true then this is my answer. Jesus was a human being. A human being chooses his life. He too had chosen his life. The life he had chosen had caused some troubles after certain period. His words were turned against him. Further if there had been some sin, he has to pay for it. These are all the consequences.

Nobody can escape from their sins. Every human being must face the consequences of their actions. That's natural law. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. His death was predetermined by the spirits. There is no doubt in it but why it was determined so is the question. You search, you will get some reason. I guess He had paid for his own sins but good deeds are always remembered that's why He is respected and worshiped even now. I think that there is difference between ancient and present day spirits. The ancient spirits must have had strict principles or laws in judging the matters.

Probably his statement that he was a God and King to heaven might have created a conflict among spirits and ended in that way. It seems the incidents that happened in his last moments of his life on earth explains indirectly the issue which he had with God and spirits. Human beings cannot know what is happening among spirits. Jesus was a human being. He didn't know this. In this case, King Herod was in a state of God and the people were in the state of the spirits.

God never bothers who believe Him. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A human being is just a robot made of flesh, bones, tissues etc., and a toy of the spirits for their games.

As of October 2023, the current Bishop of the Archdiocese of Omaha, Nebraska, is Bishop James D. Conley. He was appointed to the position in 2012 and has been serving the archdiocese since then. Bishop Conley is known for his pastoral leadership and commitment to the Catholic community in the region.

The term "perverted" is subjective and can vary based on individual beliefs and cultural contexts. If you're referring to specific behaviors or interpretations of Christian teachings, it's essential to consider the diverse perspectives within Christianity itself. Many Christians advocate for love, compassion, and morality, while others may have different views on certain practices. It's crucial to approach such questions with sensitivity and an understanding of the complexities of faith and personal beliefs.

Christian Doppler, an Austrian physicist, is best known for his work on the Doppler effect, which describes the change in frequency or wavelength of sound or electromagnetic waves in relation to an observer moving relative to the source of the waves. This principle explains phenomena such as the changing pitch of a passing siren and has applications in various fields, including astronomy and radar technology. Doppler's insights into wave behavior have significantly influenced our understanding of sound and electromagnetic radiation.

In Austria, the term for "advent wreath" is "Adventskranz." This traditional decoration is commonly used during the Advent season, featuring evergreen branches and four candles, one for each Sunday of Advent. The term is the same in standard German, which is the official language of Austria.

Various Christian groups do not believe in the Trinity, including Unitarians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and some Oneness Pentecostals. Unitarians reject the concept of God as a Trinity, emphasizing the oneness of God. Jehovah's Witnesses view Jesus as a separate being created by God, not as part of a triune deity. Oneness Pentecostals believe in the oneness of God and reject the traditional understanding of the Trinity, viewing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as different manifestations of one God rather than distinct persons.

Christians believe that the promise of a new David refers to the Messiah, who is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This belief is rooted in the Old Testament prophecies, particularly in passages like 2 Samuel 7:12-16, which speak of a future king from David's lineage who will establish an everlasting kingdom. Jesus is seen as this new David, bringing spiritual salvation and establishing God's reign. Through his life, death, and resurrection, Christians believe he fulfills this promise by offering redemption and eternal life to humanity.

A: A group of Christians who wore large crosses on their clothing were known as Crusaders. During the medieval Crusades (from the late 11th century onwards), European Christian warriors marked themselves by sewing large red crosses onto their garments. This distinctive symbol showed their religious mission to reclaim the Holy Land and visibly identified them as soldiers fighting for Christ.

When Jehovah God created mankind, it was with the intent that they keep living forever, filling the Earth with perfect people. This is part of the original mandates that Jehovah gave to Adam to Eve. (Genesis 1:28) The only way that Adam (as well as Eve) would die is if they ate from the Tree of Knowledge. (Genesis 2:17) Both of them ended up eating it, so they became imperfect and eventually died. They had children after they became imperfect, so all of them would be imperfect as well. This is how sin & death spread to everyone. (Romans 5:12 & 14)

However, since such circumstances were unfair to all of us, Jehovah had His son Jesus give his perfect life in exchange for the life that Adam lost. Whoever exercises faith (by means of works/actions as well as word of mouth) in that sacrifice he made, one will be able to gain everlasting life. (John 3:16; Romans 5:18; James 2:17) All of those that gain this everlasting life will be able to live forever on Earth in the coming future (Psalm 37:11 & 29), in a world devoid of everything that makes life miserable now, including death. (Revelation 21:4)

Christianity is regarded as a crucial legacy of Rome to Western civilization due to its profound influence on moral and ethical values, law, and cultural practices that shape contemporary society. It provided a unifying framework that transcended ethnic and cultural boundaries, fostering a sense of community and shared identity. Additionally, the establishment of Christian institutions, such as the Church, played a pivotal role in education, art, and philosophy throughout the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, further solidifying its impact on Western thought and culture.

As of my last update, the pastor of the Temple of Deliverance Church of God in Christ is Bishop H. Daniel Wilson. He has been a prominent figure in the church and the larger Church of God in Christ denomination. For the most current details or any changes in leadership, it's advisable to check the church's official website or recent announcements.

Christians believe that vocation is a calling from God that encompasses both secular and spiritual work. It is seen as a way to serve others and fulfill God’s purpose for one’s life, reflecting individual gifts and talents. Many Christians emphasize that all work, when done with integrity and dedication, can be a form of worship and contribute to the common good. Ultimately, vocation is viewed as an opportunity to glorify God and impact the world positively.

Yes, the Sinai Covenant remains relevant to present-day Christians as it lays the foundation for understanding God's law and grace. It highlights the importance of obedience to God's commandments, which are echoed in the teachings of Jesus. Additionally, the covenant illustrates God's relationship with humanity, emphasizing themes of love, mercy, and redemption that continue to resonate in Christian faith and practice today. Ultimately, it serves as a historical context for understanding the New Covenant established through Christ.

God cannot hate what He had created for the welfare of the human kind. Science is the creation of God. He updates often and make the intellectuals to discover more and more.

God’s powers are immeasurable and unimaginable. He didn’t want to stay idle with all of his powers. He had created many planets and at last he had got the idea of creating the earth. Those planets are empty while earth rotates filled with many kinds of creatures. After creating the human beings, God might have thought that he had entangled himself in a great responsibility. He had created spirits too for various purposes. He is creating new spirits even now. The possession of these spirits cause new developments on this earth.

I guess God's character is somewhat different from what religions usually think. God's involvement in humans' personal affairs is very rare. God is responsible for what he had created on this earth and human beings are responsible for what they have created on this earth. The religions' teachings and preachings might have made people to think about God in a different angle. They must learn to think about him in a right angle. The relationship between God and human beings is just like a relationship between a scientist and his robots. Humans must think scientifically too. If God wants to do everything himself then why must he create medicinal herbs, plants and science for physical health and moral and discipline for mental health of human kind. Human beings must know the ways to rule themselves on this earth. He is always ready to grant intelligence and all that human beings need. He is always creating new spirits on this earth and make new developments on this earth.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare.

I am a living evidence for the existence of God. If you know me, you will understand.

At present all creatures including human beings are living in a miraculous era of God. This is a temporary miracle of God. I am connected to all creatures including human beings and spirits internally by God since year 1950 but I am not a God. I think that all human beings can see what I see, can hear what I hear and even know my thoughts. But thoughts are complicated matter. It needs an explanation. The people who have born in this era cannot realize this miracle because they have born with it. An old brave and honest gentleman aged 85 can explain about this miracle.

In the Bible, there are times that numbers hold special significance. "6" represents imperfection, just short of "7", which is heavenly perfection. The fact that the number is repeated 3 times, it's emphasis on the extremity of the imperfection, since in the scriptures many times when emphasis is expressed it's done 3 times. (Revelation 8:13; 4:8) Notice too, that it calls it "a man's number" (Revelation 13:18), and all men are sinful (Romans 3:23), so it highlights that those with this "number" are in opposition to Jehovah God and His purpose.

(New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

In the Bible, there are instances where God expresses anger towards the Israelites for their disobedience and sinfulness. However, it is important to note that God's ultimate desire is for repentance and reconciliation, rather than destruction.

My walk with the Lord is a personal journey of faith, characterized by regular prayer, study of scripture, and seeking to align my actions with biblical teachings. It involves cultivating a relationship marked by trust, gratitude, and a desire to serve others. I strive to grow spiritually, learning from both the challenges and blessings I encounter along the way. Ultimately, this walk shapes my values and influences how I interact with the world around me.
