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...:-).

If You Ever Wondered What Was Really Under RHOA's Kim Zolciak's Wig....
Kim Zolciak debuted her real hair on last night's episode of "Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding." Check out what the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star has been hiding under all that blonde wiggery inside...
Kim doesn't let anyone see her real hair and has proclaimed to never stop wearing wigs. Her own stylist, Derek J, hasn't even seen her real hair in over a year. So on last night's episode of "DBTFTW," she got balls to make the big reveal to Derek, her assistant and the rest of the world.
While trying to determine how she would style her hair for her upcoming wedding to Kroy, she decided to throw off the wig for a few minutes to show folks what she's been hiding. Maybe it was the flu she had just come down with that caused the change up too.
And we must say, chick may want to rethink wearing these wigs because the real hair suits her best:
From this, to this:
Hopefully she tosses these wigs for good.
Check out a clip from last night below:
ON THE SET: Rihanna & Her Short-Shorts Film "The End Of The World" In New Orleans
She's back on a movie set! With her major debut movie Battlefield still in theaters, Rihanna jetted to New Orleans this week to shoot a brand new comedy called The End of the World (formerly called The Apocalypse). And we've got pics of the hot bodied chick on the set rocking her fave look--the shortest shorts in her suitcase and a revealing crocheted top. Pics inside...
The flick is starring funny folks Seth Rogen (who also wrote and is directing), Michael Cera, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari & Harry Potter's Emma Watson.
IMDB reports the plot as:
While attending a party at James Franco's house, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and many other celebrities are faced with the apocalypse.
In the scene being shot above, Rihanna and Emma Watson are running out of co-star James Franco's house party because suddenly, of course, the end of the world happens. All the co-stars are funny as hell, and reportedly they are all playing themselves, so this should be a good look for Rih. And it sounds like Kevin Hart drops by for a cameo as well as Rih tweeted a couple hours ago:
Just leaving set! Kevin Hart clearly has childhood issues! Lolololol ! This has to be one of my favorite moments in life #endoftheworld
The film is set for a June 14th, 2013 release.

SPOTTED: Nas OUT & ABOUT In West Hollywood
Nasty Nas is in L.A. wrapping up his upcoming Life Is Good album (dropping 7/17). And he was spotted out and about in West Hollywood yesterday with Capricorn Clark--Bad Boy's Marketing Exec. We're not sure what's going on there--but we're sure they'll maintain they're friends and/or just working together. Pics inside...
After grabbing lunch in his bright green Adidas track suit and Jordans, Nas hit the streets of West Hollywood to likely head to the studio:
It's been a big week for the sexy Mr. Jones as he dropped his brand new "Daughters" video featuring his own little girl Destiny. And he just revealed that he will be unveiling his brand new website and upcoming tour dates tomorrow.
About the meaning of his new album's Life Is Good title, Nas told Complex magazine this month it's all about getting to a point where you master your own life, and not letting thieves and money bring you down:
I never liked dealing with money. It comes between real shit. Friendship, loyalty, and love is the real shit. Money is the other shit. I have one way of dealing with money, and then you have educated people, who know how to deal with money, and we have conflicts there. It’s like in the movie Wall Street, my man Gekko says, “Pay attention. Money’s a jealous bitch. Either you’re going to pay attention to her, or she’ll find someone else that will.” And mine has definitely found other people who appreciate her more. [Laughs.] I’ve neglected her and abused her. I let a person take her from me—and I don’t mean my ex-wife, I mean some bad business from, like, six years ago that’s affecting me now. And I take responsibility for it, because it’s my problem. But I still see that as something I have to fix, because if you don’t fix money, it’ll fix your ass.
Check out more highlights and pics from his new Complex spread HERE in case you missed it.
