If you're not a Christian are you doomed to hell?
What up everybody? Been gone for a minute.
Quick question, If you're not a Christian, are you wrong? Are you destined for hell?
I've been hearing a lot of Christian talk recently for some reason and majority of it has been about a true Christian will/will not do this or If you're not a true Christian then you're going here or there. So I'm just curious.

lol. I guess no one wanted to speak on this topic. A lil' too hot of a conversation i guess. lol
Well I think religions are only devices to separate people anyway. Many are easily brainwashed and you can't tell them anything else once they have soaked up enough bull in their life time. There is no understanding anything else or question asking of things that does not make sense.
For now, I'll just continue to laugh at the lunch room conversations of the chrisitians. No disrespect to those that are probably saying i'll burn in hell because of whatever reason they consider to be un-christian like. lol

Yeah, I don't usually get involved in conversation like that. It's pointless mostly. People believe what they want to believe and most folk that make statements like that are probably too lazy to think for self or do research. What is the bible? Who wrote it? Where are the stories coming from? Were they seen, heard, or passed down? Who edited it? Who determined what you can and can not read?
I most certainly believe in a higher power but I also understand that humans have never been outside of this world.
This statement right here just shut the discussion DOWN!!!
The deep shit is how King James re wrote the bible but no one stops to acknowledge that!!!! REWROTE it................nigga what!!!! SMH....PLEASE GO DO THE KNOWLEDGE ON WHO KING JAMES WAS AND WHAT HE WAS ABOUT!!! You owe it to yourself.......
damn, I keep saying I aint getting involved in this discussion, yet I'm still leaving posts in here....lol....smh @ myself for lack of self control....

We are on the same page.
Fembeauty said:I also see religion as something that separates people that have enough vices of separation. Practice of religion is based on faith-which is based on things believed but not seen. NO ONE that is alive can tell others what is going to happen to them when they die cuz ayne no body die and come back from the dead yet.
It is MY BELIEF that the people making these statements are unenlightened because they are assuming Christianity to be the religion of the world WHICH IS NOT NOR HAS EVER BEEN. Where did the souls go of the people that were around before Christianity? Where did the souls go of the people that never heard of Christianity? If you have an answer- HOW DO YOU KNOW- YOU DON'T KNOW-YOU BELIEVE.

Get out of my headdddd. Lol.
Fembeauty said:Yeah, I think it's great to believe in a higher power. I just don't agree with force feeding others or separating from others because of difference in belief of what is probably the same thing in the end? Isn't religion supposed to make life better? Is it not to be used as a manual to navigate through life? Iunno. I would prefer to concentrate on what connects us rather than what separates us.
There many land masses separated by large bodies of water
Countless languages
Different meanings for same words
Different meanings and appreciations of life
Why limit the self to appreciating/understanding just one view.

Questions like this cause me to reflect on what I know about G-d. He is love. He provides grace, mercy and forgiveness. And if thats so why would only a fraction of the population be allowed into heaven? Besides who really knows the requirements because at last look we all have issues and situations that are contrary to how he expects for us to live.
As for the varied translations...until i learn aramaic or ancient hebrew reading the tranlations we have will just have to do.
I challenge us to read all the great books of all the great religions. I am sure after that kind of study the similarities would astound and give a greater, clearer idea of what is good an evil in the eyes if G-d.
I recommend a book called The Shack, it has an unconventional way of describing G-d's character... out of relationship with the creator we adapt and become more suseptable to his character. Whether you call him Allah, Jehovah or mother earth; love respect and reverence for him is #1. I believe thats the way to heaven.

You hitting it on the head with that statement.....
to add a little to this, I feel like if you believe that heaven and hell are places you go to AFTER death then your living life with your eyes closed.....

Hahah. There are a lot of so-called 'christians' that are down to kill anybody that doesn't believe in their belief. Religion has destroyed more human live's than any other thing you can name. Stop believing the OOGEDY-BOOGEDY! lol!
In my opinion, heaven and hell are in the mind. Thats just my opinion.
There are a lot of 'christians' that called President Obama a Nigger when he was running for office, and they did it all in the name of the lord! lol!!!
Do right by everyone fam! Your karma will determine where you end up in the afterlife.

I was in Phila last weeekend and when talking to a gal-pal about religion, she said something that made me stop in my tracks as well. She said that church-going Christians are the BIGGEST heathens on the planet, and to a certain extent, I'm inclined to believe her. As much as they like to hit you in the face with the word, they're also the LOUDEST, ROWDIEST ones at the bar the night before. A friend of mine works with a woman who's a JW and she's ready to strangle this chick. She's rude to everyone and hides behind her religion. So when you ask the question of someone being condemmed to He77, you tell me the answer...:-).

Beyonce Preps TWO New Projects (Including New Album) For 2012
One of Beyonce's producers just spilled the beans that the new mom is--unsurprisingly--gearing up for her fifth solo studio album. Plus, she's got a second project up her sleeve for 2012. Deets inside...
Told y'all this chick was planning album content while she was breastfeeding and changing diapers. Baby Blue's mom is said to be already setting up to work on a new album. And yes, B.I.C. will likely be her muse. Producer/Songwriter Ryan Tedder, who just copped an award at last night's GRAMMYS for contributing to Adele's Album of the Year, 21, revealed some generalities.
He said it goes “without saying” that Bey’s work will have some reflection on her newborn child Blue Ivy, but that “the conversations about her next album literally just happened.”
“You feed her the best that you have. She’s just a phenomenal filter… she can identify what the next thing is,” Tedder said of the “Party” girl, noting that she has “two projects happening” this year. “You just let her go.”
Bey is also conducting a global remix competition for her fans. The best remix of her track "End of Time" will appear on a future release.
Here we go...

Nicki Minaj Covers NEW YORK Magazine, Explains Controversial GRAMMY Performance
Nicki Minaj is talking about fashion--and why she's over that world. The "Stupid H*e" rapper tells New York Magazine that she's not about fitting into the IN crowd. And she tells Ryan Seacreast why she went the route she did last night....
In a series of candid shots with gritty special effects, Nicki poses for the Spring FASHION issue of New York magazine. Here's highlights from her interesting perspective about the fashion world--and why she's skipping NY Fashion Week for the most part:
Are you coming back to Fashion Week this time?
I’m not impressed to be in that world. I’m in my own world. I think sometimes the fashion world isn’t even about clothes anymore; it’s about this “in” crowd, and I’m not into that. But I’m doing a Barbie fashion show. They did a Barbie for me, and that is super friggin’ amazing.So is it safe to assume that you were always interested in fashion?
I’ve always been intrigued by color and by interesting hair. I was one of those weird little girls doing my own hair at the age of 9. I was, like, getting weird gels and new brushes and cornrow holders. I would tweak and perm at the age of 13. When I first went to get my hair colored, I was about 14 and I wanted blonde highlights. The beautician said, “No, you have to get your mother on the phone,” and I was just crying and begging. I’ve always been experimenting. Cyndi Lauper’s videos—that’s what intrigued me.And you definitely use your looks to get noticed.
I like the idea of doing something that everyone else is not. I get high off that. Just the idea that other people don’t have the balls to do something—that’s my thing.
Here's the rest of her pics:
And if you're still scratching your head about her performance last night at the GRAMMY Awards--you're not the only one.
She talked to Ryan Seacrest today on his radio show and revealed a few things:
On attending the Grammys with a Pope look-alike: “The religious figure is there because he was called on by Roman’s mom to rehabilitate him.”
On her debut performance of “Roman Holiday”: “I had this vision for him to be sort of exorcised—or actually he never gets exorcised—but people around him tell him he’s not good enough because he’s not normal, he’s not blending in with the average Joe. And so his mother is scared and the people around him are afraid because they’ve never seen anything like him. He wanted to show that not only is he amazing and he’s sure of himself and confident, but he’s never gonna change, he’s never gonna be exorcised. Even when they throw the holy water on him, he still rises above.”
On why she chose “Roman Holiday” for the Grammys: “The Grammys chose ‘Roman Holiday.’ The producers of the Grammys came to the studio and I played them ‘Roman Holiday,’ and I could not play them another record after they heard that. They went crazy. I could have chosen to do a no-brainer pop song, but I can’t do it anymore. I have to stay true to what I’m doing.”
Feel like we're listening to a 12-year-old during a tea party with her imaginary friends. But if that's what works...
