If God says something once we are to listen, if He says it twice we are to really listen.

The destruction of all life would mean that death won. Throughout all eternity the smell and sight of death would permeate the universe. Thank God that He won, and the future is a victory over death.

False, what they espouse to is, for lack of better word right now, a lie.
There is hope here on ATS from some.

I suggest you think about what you are posting ,dbrandt, before you degrade other people's beliefs.

At the top of this page in a post by someone, I was told I was wrong in what I believe. I was degraded, by their words. Yet I am confident in what I believe and realize that this is someone's else's opinion about what I said. And they are entitled to that and free to believe that if they choose too.
It seems people get very bent out of shape when the "L" word is used. The "L" word does exist. That is what was said about my beliefs without actually typing the 3 letter "L" word. I think that word bothers when the receiver is not 100% sure in what they believe in is true.

I did not see where anyone said your beliefs were a lie. He said that he didn't "believe" that you were "correct". That is not the same as saying that your beliefs are a lie,not at all.

Hi, my intro... Im from Argentina and i understand english but my writing its not very well. Im not a noob, just forget my nick and password (lol). Ok, my question is very simple. I read a lot of predictions from people, all are talking about "end of the world in 2012", meteors hiting the earth, tsunamis, nuclear wars, zombies... etc. right? But why nobody talks about a peacefull era, one year without wars, the start of a new era in the 2012 with new technologies helping people each others. My word to all are, what we want to our lifes? death or life? can we change the course of the world? Im waiting answers and ideas...
Peace.

Neither I nor my People are "Doom Mongers". But, as someone else has stated, Human Nature--and especially the evolution of it--lends itself to such predictions. Personally, I pay little attention to the Doom-sayers regards Ending, and that is because our Beliefs do not include "Endings"--only a series of Cycles, which, when complete, begin again, and, hopefully in a progressed and positive way. In other words, they Grow.
"can we change the course of the World?"
Yes, but it will take hard work and Honest Sharing between Peoples, Open Minds, and the ability to to shed Religious and Racial biases. Difficult, but it can, and should, be done.

If someone doesn't believe what someone else is saying is the truth, then they think it is an untruth, or another word for that is a lie. Look it up in the dictionary, I just did.

It's not the same. When I say, "I don't believe," that isn't the same as stating that you and all of your ilk are lyers; it just means that I choose not to believe what you are saying.

So, I believe faith in Jesus alone brings salvation to a person and I say this to someone. They reply back to me, "I don't believe what you just said about Jesus",(now as they say those words back to me with there mouth, there brain is thinking, that is true about faith in Jesus, but I am choosing not to believe it).
So, are you saying, alot of times someone may know what someone else is saying to them is true, but on purpose(a choice) they are choosing not to accept it as fact?
If this is the case then the statement is still true.
Also lies can be intentional or unintentional.

You know, I hear "christians" degrade the New Age Movement as if it were the cause of all human suffering. What a bunch of garbage. Anti-New Agers are like anti-masonic individuals, they parade around with a bunch of "facts" that in no way reveals the truth about the movement. I suggest you stick with what you know,which is probably the bible. and let others stick with what they know.
If I seem a bit hostile,well,I am somewhat of a New Ager myself and I take offense when someone makes comments that are nothing more than a ploy to distract people from finding things out for themselves. I could be offensive and state that Muslims and "Christians" create more problems in the world than they are worth, but I do not necessarily believe that; although, there is ample proof to dictate that is indeed the truth.
I suggest you think about what you are posting ,dbrandt, before you degrade other people's beliefs.
