no, he can't be absolutely sure .. energy proves it via kinetic, thermal, gravitational, sound, elastic or electromagnetic energies. 

Energy is an absolute life form. Then again maybe not. LMAO

"My responds to you: Are you absolutely sure?"

No, not 100%. This usually leads into "the bible says". LMAO.

Eagle,
  I guess I should have paid more attention in school.

As a Christian, I say believe in whatever you wish but don't impose it on others.

Don't take it on yourself to tell others what fate awaits them when they die - that is God's prerogative.

To those who cite the Bible for their rationale as to what happens to "unbelievers", keep in mind the exhortation: "Judge not lest ye be judged"

Bible teaches us: Jude, ch1
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Very good advice KTF

I just have to ask, what if we all woke up tomorrow and GOD was here, even the Liberal news media televised it and he had came....What would non believers say or think........I often wonder what would really happen......................I just cant imagine but just saying what if......

Why is it so frustrating to see so called christians quote out of context scripture verse telling others to believe what ever they wish! and then quoting incomplete verse telling us nottto judge! Ktf and maggie I truely say you both do not know a single thing you are taliking about or agreeing with!@Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matthew 7:1) is the commonly quoted verse for why Christians aren't supposed to judge. But, remember that the LORD Jesus COMMANDED us to "judge RIGHTEOUS judgment" (John 7:24). "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (Matthew 7:1) was spoken to those who had "beam[s]" in their own eyes. They were "hypocrites", meaning that they were guilty of the sins they judged in others. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not THE BEAM THAT IS IN THINE OWN EYE? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, A BEAM IS IN THINE OWN EYE? Thou HYPOCRITE, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and THEN SHALT THOU SEE CLEARLY TO CAST OUT THE MOTE OUT OF THY BROTHER'S EYE" (Matthew 7:3-5). Notice that the LORD is NOT saying we should not judge by casting the mote out of thy brother's eye, but that we need to see clearly when we judge, and not be hypocrites. The LORD is warning us about judging others when we are guilty ourselves, "for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again" (Matthew 7:2). It is ONLY the righteous that can judge righteous judgment, because only the righteous can SEE clearly. They have no "mote[s]", or sins, to block their vision!!!!

For you CopDogs..............

raymond,

I understand where you coming from :)

Thank you, MaggieMae!

Raymond, your own admonitions as to biblical interpretation may have more credibility if your postings on this forum had a semblance of what you preach. As far as whether I know what I am talking about and whether I live my life the way I should, I am happy to leave it to my Maker to determine when the time comes.

Royal, no problem with everyone expressing their opinions - but making judgements as to who will attain salvation, etc is where I have a problem. Not just with some Christians but those of other faiths. Through out history, there have been more wars fought and more people killed because of some people who feel that they have a monopoly on the "truth" when it comes to faith. It goes on to this day - the players have changed but the intent is the same as is the resultant carnage.
