Somehow, it seems this will be a continuing theme in your life. I hope that won't be a problem Heart

Quote:for example, why is it that some christians people end up with great careers and seem to have a really nice life, and others struggle and struggle and just cant seem to get anywhere.

does god bless some people more than others? if so why?

Perhaps it isn't that God blesses some people more than others... perhaps he's testing them. Are they ungracious in power, are they bitter in weakness? How are they in tumult?

That would certainly suit the whole 'get into heaven over X' lined out.

Quote:is god against social justice?

Possibly. Depends on your understanding of what 'social justice' is.

Quote:in heaven will everything be equal? if christianity preaches so much these days that our "works" don't have any value compared to our "faith", will "riches in heaven" just be more prominent to people who just exhibit more faith in this life?

May want to try reading up on it. Short answer: no.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

You're trying to find sense in something that in itself does not make sense. The problem with the bible and every other religious text is that anyone could come along and write similar passages that makes just about as much sense as the ones you know and pass it off as truth without having to provide any further evidence than the passage they just wrote. Observe.

Quote:There sat atop a throne of iron a beautiful maiden dressed in blue with hair as white as the morning's snow falling down to her feet. Next to the throne was a two-headed winged beast which body was made of stone. He looked at the pitch black darkness from the edge of the verse and opened his mouth at the maiden's command, a bright and powerful light emerge from the depths of his throat and exploded from his mouth, casting away the darkness bringing light to the land below.

I just suggested that a goddess looking like Daenerys Targaryen had her two-headed stone dragon create the universe. Do you really need to ask about the logic behind it?
