The question is; should Jesus recognize the Christians as his followers? I think, if he returns, he will go to the synagogue and not to the church, remember; he was a Jew. And, he will react from his Jewish background and point of view to the modern Christianity and ask the rabbi: ‘Who are these people?’

Answer to:
I am faced with fundamental differences with the church leaders on Biblical understanding concerning justification and God's forgiveness. After much thought and prayer I am withdrawing my membership from the congregation. Thoughts?
It is good to see that other people also withdraw membership because of thinking different than the church leaders. Theologies, dogmas and doctrines are developed by men, we have not to follow it when we discover their not biblical. Theology is not the word of God and man could not be saved by doctrines.

What is the reasoning of the Christian faith, to tell children if they don't believe in Jesus/God, that, they will burn in hell forever and ever? Why are they forced programed to accept this supernatural mythology without any scientific backing?
With all respect. Unfortunately, fear of Hell is usually the motivation for many Christians to hold their faith.
For many people their religion (even Christianity) is their god.
Because religion gives them assurance, comfort, trust and encouragement, they are believers. When they wish the same thing (paradise) for their children, they push sometimes them to believe the same belief. One...

Does the catholic religon regard the Virgin Mary as some sort of GOD?
Catholics and Protestants believe Mary is the Mother of God. Yet officially they do not believe She is divine. The title “the Mother of God” seems higher and even more powerful than God self. I cannot understand how is it possible that MOTHER of God is self not divine? How can it be that a mortal, non-divine became the Mother of Almighty?

No. In a situation that ones thoughts and actions are determined by someone else, he has no free will.
But, in my opinion, our will can not be determined. We have always a free will. Man has always the power on his/her own idea. We can be guided or influenced by others yet we have always the chance to change our mind. If not, than why persons in the same situation are acting differently?...

Does God exist outside of time, or does He exist inside of time, but infinitely into the past and future?
Interesting issue. We have to distinguish between God's time and ours:

2- our time is Measured time or clock time (past, present and future)
So, some people reject the Plotinian-Augustinian theory of divine absolute timelessness. And I agree with those people....
