First of all I put this thread here in the steam room because I'm aware religion is a touchy subject. I did not put it here to invite people to bash on faith....
Now to my little story.
So, I was at a Bible Study that my friend Dom invited me a bud to attend to. So just Dom my friend Josh and I where there, (He's big on Faith hand all, and is trying to get me and a friend to jump on bored) and he was explaining Sin to us because Josh was curios about the subject. So Dom explained Original Sin to us. You know how Eve ate the apple and got Kicked out of Edin.
After words he go's on to tell us how even Catholicism is wrong. How you you can't buy you way into Heaven, and that you have to accept Jesus died for us to rid of Sin, and how that's the ONLY way.
That's when I ask something. I gave him a example, that I will now give to all of you.
Lets say theirs this guy (or girl) right. He some other faith, lets say Jewish, and he Cure's cancer. Lets even go a bit farther and say he solves world hunger.
Now we have this amazing guy (or girl), would he go to hell? Dom answered me simply "Yes". He than goes on to explain that if you where and baby, or in some other way not able to know of god or Jesus, that he believes that you may still be saved as God know what you would of chosen.
So I bring up to him. "Why even make humanity"? His response is that he would already have angles that worship him all day, he gave us free will to decided for our selves. I was like "Okay, but if he already knows what we are going to do, why wouldn't he just make the people who where gong to Heaven already in Heaven, and the people who where going to hell in hell?"
He didn't have a response, and that he would also like to know. But that the Bible says some things are for only god to know.
So what I would like to know is your view on all of this, and perhaps your own problems. I'm trying to get some insight into people's religious problems, and some insight in to my own.
