Tragic celebrities?What causes so many celebrities to self-destruct?
If Jesus loves me, he won’t torture me forever for not believing that he exists?
Question posted on Yahoo! Answers: If Jesus loves me, he won’t torture me forever for not believing that he exists?
I mean, how can you say you love someone but then turn around and torture them forever, what type of love as that then?
It is not torture, it is salvation you go to Hell.
In your present condition, if you went to heaven, God as a Consuming Fire, would be so bright, so Holy, so "full" of godliness, You, as Sinner, would be consumed.
Imagine you are a matchstick.
Hold up a candle in one hand and take you, as the matchstick and slowly move it towarsd the flame of the candle.
From a distance, you are safe, closer you ignite.
You are that matchstick.
Now take another match stick, me, and dip me in oil, move me close to the candle, use the right oil and you can even see me light up, but the oil is consumed not me, the matchstick.
As long as the Oil is covering the matchstick, it is not consumed.
That is God.
If God took you to heaven the way you are, you would choose Hell over heaven.
Science has proven the Body you are in, the soul that need "input" from senses, if deprived of all sensory input, screams in agony as the mind, the nerves, the soul, all wants input.
It burns for input from the place it was created: Creation.
TO preserve you from being consumed by God, you have to get as far from his nature, a consuming fire, as possible. You have to literally find a place God isn't, or has so removed his godliness you can exist with out consumption.
Hell is that: It wasn't designed for you, but if you go there, it was done as mercy not hate. You get what you ultimately want, but should have known better.
Hell was designed for angels, not men.

What is salvation? What is the Christian doctrine of salvation?
Question: "What is salvation? What is the Christian doctrine of salvation?"
Answer: Salvation is deliverance from danger or suffering. To save is to deliver or protect. The word carries the idea of victory, health, or preservation. Sometimes, the Bible uses the words saved or salvation to refer to temporal, physical deliverance, such as Paul’s deliverance from prison (Philippians 1:19).
More often, the word “salvation” concerns an eternal, spiritual deliverance. When Paul told the Philippian jailer what he must do to be saved, he was referring to the jailer’s eternal destiny (Acts 16:30-31). Jesus equated being saved with entering the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24-25).
What are we saved from? In the Christian doctrine of salvation, we are saved from “wrath,” that is, from God’s judgment of sin (Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9). Our sin has separated us from God, and the consequence of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Biblical salvation refers to our deliverance from the consequence of sin and therefore involves the removal of sin.
Who does the saving? Only God can remove sin and deliver us from sin’s penalty (2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 3:5).
How does God save? In the Christian doctrine of salvation, God has rescued us through Christ (John 3:17). Specifically, it was Jesus’ death on the cross and subsequent resurrection that achieved our salvation (Romans 5:10; Ephesians 1:7). Scripture is clear that salvation is the gracious, undeserved gift of God (Ephesians 2:5, 8) and is only available through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).
How do we receive salvation? We are saved by faith. First, we must hear the gospel—the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection (Ephesians 1:13). Then, we must believe—fully trust the Lord Jesus (Romans 1:16). This involves repentance, a changing of mind about sin and Christ (Acts 3:19), and calling on the name of the Lord (Romans 10:9-10, 13).
A definition of the Christian doctrine of salvation would be “The deliverance, by the grace of God, from eternal punishment for sin which is granted to those who accept by faith God’s conditions of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus.” Salvation is available in Jesus alone (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) and is dependent on God alone for provision, assurance, and security.

OK...Call me stupid but if I Knew all that before I got "saved" I would never have asked Jesus into my life.
I would have run as far and as fast from you if you told m e that as I could.
It just wouldn't make sense, not would I care to try to figure it out.
But tell me I am going to Hell because God said it, then tell me I can avoid Going to Hell because God said it, then tell me I can talk to God because God said it, and tell me How to find out Waht God said...
Well I'm no idiot....I'll go ask God if He said it.
Ya don't give babies Prime Rib, so if you're a mother nursing a child, which works better if your breast feeding....,

You can show me the Beef, like above,
But Show Me the Love, and I WILL get saved.

WND Going WAY OUT on a limb: President Obama's Birth Certificate
BORN IN THE USA
Wikipedia says Obama born in Kenya
Online encyclopedia can't make up its mind on president's birthplace

Wikipedia just can't seem to make up its mind about where President Barack Obama was born.
The free, online encyclopedia this afternoon displayed at least two countries the commander in chief may have been born in – the United States and Kenya.
WND documented how the entry for the "Early life and career of Barack Obama" changed numerous times.
At 4:45 p.m. Eastern, Wikipedia said:
"Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, was born on August 4, 1961 in either Honolulu, in the state of Hawaii[1], or Mombasa, Kenya, to Barack Obama, Sr. (1936–1982) (born in Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Nyanza Province,[2] Kenya Colony, British Empire), and Ann Dunham (1942–1995) (born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas).[3][4] On his mother's side he has a half-sister; on his father's side, Obama has two half-sisters and five surviving half-brothers.[5]"

Then 20 minutes later at 5:05 p.m., it began to include information regarding the original, hospital-generated birth certificate the president has refused to release:
"Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, was born on August 4, 1961 in either Honolulu, in the state of Hawaii[1], or somewhere in Kenya (the refusal of Obama to release his long-form birth certificate has left this important detail without any confirmation), to Barack Obama, Sr. ... "

At 5:35 p.m., it elaborated with specifics about the hospital's name and the doctor who delivered him being absent from any Obama disclosure:
"Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, was born on August 4, 1961 in either Honolulu, in the state of Hawaii[1], or somewhere in Kenya. The refusal of Obama to release his long-form birth certificate, which would contain verifiable details such as the hospital's name and the attending physician's name, has left his place of birth still yet unconfirmed. He was born to Barack Obama, Sr. ... "

At 5:50 p.m., the issue of whether or not Obama was therefore constitutionally eligible to be president of the U.S. was part of the entry:
"Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, was born on August 4, 1961 in either Honolulu, in the state of Hawaii[1], or somewhere in Kenya. The refusal of Obama to release his long-form birth certificate, which would contain verifiable details such as the hospital's name and the attending physician's name, has left his place of birth and therefore his constitutional eligibility as president, still yet unconfirmed. He was born to Barack Obama, Sr. ... "

At 6:20 p.m., "somewhere in Kenya" was revised to just "in Kenya":
"Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, was born on August 4, 1961 in either Honolulu, in the state of Hawaii[1], or in Kenya. The refusal of Obama to release his long-form birth certificate, which would contain verifiable details such as the hospital's name and the attending physician's name, has left his place of birth and therefore his constitutional eligibility as president, still yet unconfirmed. He was born to Barack Obama, Sr. ... "

And finally, at 6:33 p.m., all references to Kenya and the question of eligibility for the U.S. presidency were scrubbed off the Wikipedia entry:
"Barack Obama, the current President of the United States, was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, in the state of Hawaii[1] to Barack Obama, Sr. (1936–1982) (born in Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Nyanza Province,[2] Kenya Colony, British Empire), and Ann Dunham (1942–1995) (born in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas).[3][4] On his mother's side he has a half-sister; on his father's side, Obama has two half-sisters and five surviving half-brothers.[5]"
WND screenshot of Wikipedia entry on the Early life and career of Barack Obama at 6:33 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 12, 2009 |
The battle continued into the overnight Monday morning, as a WND check of Wikipedia at 1:35 a.m. found the entry to say Obama was born in either Hawaii or Kenya.
The blatant scrubbing comes on the heels of several online information sites changing the president's supposed birthplace from one hospital in Hawaii to another, after WND broke the news of a letter said to be from the White House in which Obama ostensibly declared he was born at Honolulu's Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children, calling it "the place of my birth."
Barack Obama states in this purported letter from him on what appears to be White House stationery that he was born at the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu. The letter was posted by the medical center for nearly six months on its website before electronically hidden once WND publicized it. The hospital now refuses to confirm that a real document even exists. |
When WND exposed doubts about the authenticity of the letter because it was created with HTML computer code, the hospital which for nearly six months proudly declared Obama was born at its facility and used that claim as a major fund-raising tool commenced an active cover-up, hiding that White House letter from its original webpage and refusing to confirm such a letter actually exists.
Ironically, Kapi'olani gave the purported Obama letter massive play on page six in its spring edition of its own Inspire Magazine.
A screenshot of the letter and accompanying article is displayed here:
Kapi'olani used a letter, allegedly written by President Obama in which he declares his birthplace to be at the facility, to solicit donations in its spring 2009 edition of its own Inspire Magazine. The hospital is now refusing to confirm if such a letter even exists. |
WND has yet to be able to identify any physician or medical attendant present at Kapi'olani Hospital in 1961 who can recall Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, giving birth to Barack Obama at the hospital or who can identify the name of the attending physician.
The recent revelations have some members of the public fuming.
WND reader Linda Trebe indicates she's "very upset, frustrated, disgusted, scared and amazed that nothing is being done to remove this evil illegal alien who is posing as our 'legal' president, but is a usurper. Why isn't this new information in the mainstream media for all the world and America informed and him asked to step down before our wonderful nation completely destroyed?"

This is not the first time Wikipedia has scoured any mention of the Obama birthplace and eligibility issues from its pages.
In March, WND reported how the megasite written and edited entirely by its users was routinely deleting within minutes any mention of eligibility issues surrounding Obama's presidency, with administrators kicking off anyone who writes about the subject.
At the time, Angela Beesley Starling, a spokeswoman for Wikipedia, explained to WND that all the website's encyclopedia content is monitored by users. She said the administrators who deleted the entries are volunteers.

"Administrators," Starling said, "are simply people who are trusted by the other community members to have access to some extra tools that allow them to delete pages and perform other tasks that help the encyclopedia."
To date, Obama has not revealed his original long-form, hospital-generated "Certificate of Live Birth" that includes details such as the name of the medical facility and the doctor who delivered him.
Here is an actual Hawaii birth certificate from 1963 (the same era as Obama's birth), which while redacted includes detailed information documenting a birth, including the name of the birth hospital and the attending physician. Beneath it is the short-form "Certification of Live Birth" offered by Obama as proof of his Hawaiian birth. It is possible to have been born outside of Hawaii and still obtain the latter form, but not the former:

Here is the "Certification of Live Birth" presented by Obama:
Short-form "Certification of Live Birth" |
WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.
Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend sums estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid releasing a state birth certificate that would put to rest all of the questions.
Among the cases have been several from Democrat Philip Berg, who has alleged that not only is Obama ineligible to be president, he was unqualified to be the senator from Illinois and should be prosecuted under the False Claims Act.
The key question in the dispute also is being raised on billboards nationwide.
"Where's The Birth Certificate?" billboard in Pennsylvania |
The billboard campaign follows an ongoing petition campaign launched several months ago by WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah.
They are intended to raise public awareness of the fact that Obama has never released the standard "long-form" birth certificate that would show which hospital he was born in, the attending physician and establish that he truly was born in Hawaii, as his autobiography maintains.

Human beings are not worthy of worship, nor are we psychologically/spiritually designed to receive worship. When a celebrity is “worshipped,” and does not deflect that worship to God, it causes damage to that celebrity’s soul.
