dead to our sin nature..not allowing sin to control us anymore..with salvation we get a "new" life.\nwhen you get saved you are born again.

Yes I do.  I am a devout Christian who believes that God sent his one and only begotton son to die for our sins, was raised from the dead on the Trird Day, and is to come again to judge the living and the dead.  God Bless You

No, I really don't know what you mean...are you referring to Christians or who? I have no idea, otherwise I would do my best to properly respond to your query.

I am existing (but much more than existing) for Jesus Christ, my Lord.\n\nI am living my life in obedience to Him to show Him that I love Him more than all others.\n\nI am living to be His faithful witness, until He calls my name and I go home to be with Him. When He calls our names, we are going--ready or not!!!\n\nI am living so that He may fulfill His plan and purpose for my life. He has one, you know, for each of us.

I'd like to add to your question.  The fact the Jesus (peace be upon him) was supposedly resurrected, doesn't that negate the fact that he died ??  I mean, if he's alive in Heaven, then he is not really dead for our sins.  I'm confused...

I'm not afraid of death, but i don't want to die now because i know if i did i would go to hell.  Believing in God kinda makes it hard to accepting death if you have not turned your life over to him. After i get baptized i can die, but right now being alive is looking good.

WoW! Interesting and deep questions...\nI would get on my knees and pray, but not just on my last day; praying everyday is a good thing.\nI would accept it being my last day, because what ever is God's will is fine...and I do believe there is a better life after this earthly, physical life. As for fearing death, I'm pretty sure I would, but again, there is something greater to look forward to, and God says that this life is nothing compared to the afterlife. So...I do believe in Heaven, but not the "mythical" sitting around on a cloud thing that some of us learned in some churches. I believe Heaven to be as you said, "to see the face of God" and Jesus Christ"...and much more than that. Those chosen to be in God's government, ( as opposed to these corrupt, worldly governments that exist now, will be wiped away, along with all the misery and suffering!) will help set up a fair and right government, which keeps God's laws, ( not all these man made B.S. laws!) This new system of living will allow people to learn to live God's way, with peace and happiness. (I'm sure there will be opposition on this!) Many more wrongs of this messed up world, will be corrected...Lots of work to do! No time to just sit on a cloud!\nAs for HELL!!! I believe that, as the Bible says, it is a consuming fire, and that it serves the purpose of burning up those who will not accept God's law, after they have been taught in the future. It will be as if they never existed; so basically, we are all given the chance to learn God's ways, either in this lifetime, or in the next...amd hopefully, we'll accept it, and not be destroyed in hell! There is also the mythical "Dantes Inferno" which influences us to think of hell as an ever burning punishment...I don't believe this is true at all...God is loving and merciful, and will give us another chance to learn how to live, how to love, how to obey, how to be happy, how to live harmoniously with one another, no wars, how to worship etc.....and IF we continue to want to live, as we do now, with Satan's influence dominating this messed up world, that's it! Stick us with a fork! We're done!!!

goodness, you are confused. Let's put religion out of the picture for just a second, okay. It is simple, you either believe Jesus died on the cross for you and God created you or you don't. You can say that only christians will enter into heaven but i believe no matter what religion you call yourself, if you believe in God and have accepted God as your savior then you can call yourself whatever you want and you will still go to heaven. People choose to worship God in many ways. But the key to the door is Have you confessed that you are a sinner? Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you? Do you want to spent eternity in heaven or hell? I'd be too scared not to believe and to not be saved. What if all us "crazy" christians are right? What if we are wrong? Which is worse? right or wrong? heaven or hell, HUM.... lets see, I'll go with heaven and believing in God.

I really don't care for the points. That is not why I'm here. My religion is Christianity. I believe God sent His only Son (Jesus) to die on a cross, and be risen to glory for the remission of our sins.\nHe is coming back soon for His chosen believers to join him forever in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?"\n\nJesus has opened a pathway for us to know and love God while we live and to enter in to his presence after we die.

No, Jesus is not dead. The Bible tells us in \n1 Corinthians... 15:3 HCSB "For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,"\n\n(1Co 15:4 HCSB) "that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,"\n\n(1Co 15:5 HCSB) "and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve."\n\nAlso Jesus said in Revelation 1:18 HCSB "and the Living One. I was dead, but look--I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades."\n\nAnd in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 HCSB "Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus."

A, of course, most christians do not realize that they already are in heaven on earth.  When we die it will be all over, the end. We don't even know that once we were part of human race.\n\nSo, don't look forward to be with God in Heaven, this is the only life we have, enjoy it while you can.

like when my Grandfather died who was the most wonderful Christian there was in my eyes, he said  I hope I was right.we wont know till we get there, but to get there we must have love in our hearts and have faith . Yes he was a man. he had flesh and blood. he had God in him. he was the son of God.his Spirit is still alive. in heaven, he said he would go back and be with his father.and he would leave the Spirit of God to help us and guide us. look to your heart for guidance thru the Spirit, I wish for  you the the very best

Absolutely.\n\nBut in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.  -1 Peter 3:15
