Eternal life may not be all its cracked up to be.... Hindus think the next being down from humans is the dog. (so my local dairyshop man told me) I don't really want to come back as a dog. My dog stinks.

patmac: You miss the point of the thread. It is a clear challenge to prove the existance of GOD...So far not one person has proved or disproved the point.
GOD (if he exists) is a personal belief and I believe this thread has been set up to counter all those threads where folk preach at the rest of us on C S.
Religion should always be a personal and private belief and to try an push your belief or even non belief on others is totally wrong.
We have so many threads from the Islamic and a few from the Christian and athiest lot as well pushing their views and shouting, loudly to all and sundry what they beleive and why we should believe and obey.
Wrong we are free to believe or disbelieve as we wish and that is what the majority of folk on here want.
By all means discuss and debate the facts. But in all honesty each religion says it is the true one and yet NOT ONE of them is charitable or honest with the others. Very few facts are actually proven as ALL RELIGIONS ARE JUST A BELIEF AND A FAITH.
Fine and dandy if you hold the belief and fine if you don't..
But it should always be a personal thing and kept that way.
Thank you, and you're correct. Rather than threads being dragged away from their original topic, it makes sense for it to be made into one of it's own.
I've come to a personal conclusion, made in post 77, which was originally posted on another site where I asked the same question.
stringman: no the bible was not written by GOD. the apostles wrote his words as he instructed them to do.he said to beliveve in him and have eternal life.When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Total and absolute rubbish the Bible was written by so many men.Yes some of the apostles did have some input and yes the Gospels where wriiten by the famous four. The Bile was written in what language...And how many of the Apostles could actually write.
Very few. To quote from a book that has been written by men translated how many times by men is laughable.and even the Bible we all use is only a transcribed and translated edition commisioned by King James.
So much has been edited and missed out from the original document it is almost unrecogniseable.
Like I. and so many others have said it is a belief you either have or don't have. This belief should be kept personal and not pushed down folks throats. That also goes for the Atheist view.

I'd like to thank everyone for their posts, and for posting with respect, whatever your beliefs. For something that could have been a nightmare, it's been well done.

you are right ethier you believe or don't. that is every ones choice, but wether you believe or you don't we are all going to meet GOD.
God instructed the apostles,who, some of them,didn't know how to read and write. The same thing he did with Muhammad,he appeared to him and he ordered him "start writing" what am instructing you .

Not to mention other writings,which the newly established Christian church rejected,as didn't comform with what,the leaders of the church, how wanted, to portrait the church at the time.-
