The Christians who impress me are those who's love in demonstrable in the way they deal with life. This love is not exclusive to Christians though, there are Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and even atheists whose lives have it. It's not where they found it that is important to me but that they found it.

Preach the Gospel Brother, preach the GOSPEL.
​
It is not about death, it is about LIFE.
​
It really is that simple.

I apprehended that life was just the precusor to a greatly longer 'Eternal Life' in heaven.
​
Don't xians believe this 'life' is about doing Yahweh's work and getting into heaven?
​
Some Christians do.
​
Many of us though believe that the afterlife is pretty much a given, most everybody is going to heaven, so it's not a big part of everyday life or the theology.
​
Frankly, none of us really have a clue about what heaven or hell are, or if they really exist. But we do know about life here on earth, this turn of the wheel, and that is where we believe a persons emphasis should be. The New Testament is filled with examples of Jesus telling folk to just get on with their lives.
​
Christianity is a religion of life, not death.

Are you saying that Satan is his friend?
​
Sure, and his agent. Satan does nothing that GOD does not request.
​
But this is NOT a thread to debate things like that. If you want, why don't you start a topic on it?
