Out of curiosity......it hurts you to hear that some people don't want to be 'educated', or to hear that some people are happy with other religions?

No, no. no. It hurts me that it is a possibility I won't be spending forever in heaven with a person who is not "saved" or does what it takes to get there. That is my beleif alone, and yours is completely different but I beleive that only people who have accepted christ will get to spend forever and ever with him. You will probably disagree, but I beleive it with my whole entire heart And I will preach to other people about Him until the day I die because as a Christian person that is what is good and right and makes me HAPPY to do.

And thats the last I will post on this subject also...as I said, this thread isn't supposed to be a religious argument but a place where we could all share our aggrivations and stories about stupid things people have said about corn snakes. So lets get back on track or stop posting...

And I wasn't saying you won't be in heaven at all...IDK really anything about being Pagan or whatnot all I know is that the only way to heaven is through christ and pagan people may beleive that to, I do not know. I was just clearing that up...

Says who? And let them prove it.

so paul, Jesus's traveling companion wrote these things from his heart. This things where put into his heart by God. God and Jesus are the same...

Jesus and Paul never met, never crossed paths, and much less were NEVER traveling companions. Darling.

Actually, paul was very spiritual and had a close walk with Jesus. I was not saying they PHYSICALLY travel together. But paul walked close to him (thats what us babtist say to describe a God fearing person. Darling )

However, I do not believe that any one religion has everything right, and prefer to make my own judgment about spirituality not based upon how one religious sect decides to interpret the unknown.

Thats why you should just follow the bible, that why you know you don't go wrong

Paul began life named Saul. A roman citizen. Grew into quite the persecutor and executioner of Jews, before his conversion on the 'road to Damascus'.
At which time he changed his name to Paul.
All of his writings are tainted with a personal grudge against the roman establishment, his guilt, and the mysterious "thorn in his side" he often alluded to in his writings. Scholars to this day debate what this secret was that tormented Paul so. (Check it out.....good reading.)
Note: Paul always travelled with a young male companion.....Silas, Timothy, Timon, Titus, etc. Hmmmmmm..................
This is who Paul was and what he did.

Also interesting, regarding Paul :

Actually, we talked about this in Church the other day. The "thorn" is actually beleived to be a phisical alement that caused paul much difficulty in following the lord.

Also, when he became Paul, he was completely changed. God breathed his word through him.

I know all this abot Saul/Paul. Its an amazing story about how ANYONE can become a follower of God and turn their whole life around, with just a little FAITH. So inspiring

There are hundreds of religions based on the bible, and they all have their own idea as to what it says and they all believe you are wrong.

Then why do arguments exist between Catholics and Protestants.

What makes the teachings of the Bible any more true, or less true, than say the teachings of Buddhism, for example.

This part.....approximately.....we agree on. Although I'd cast a broader net than a mere "physical" malady/ailment/distraction........
