I grew up a catholic christian but I never knew what being catholic was. I went into partying, drinking and eventually led to my almost ultimate downfall. However, now I call myself saved, for I know what the truth is. I found this excerpt and decided I would post this here for anyone who might need it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John 5:19-47 (KJV)
Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise.

{20} For the Father loveth the Son,
and showeth him all things that himself doeth:
and he will show him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel.

{21} For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
{22} For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
{23} That all men should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father.
He that honoureth not the Son
honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

{24} Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.

{25} Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God:
and they that hear shall live.
{26} For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
{27} And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.

{28} Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming,
in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
{29} And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

{30} I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will,
but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

{31} If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
{32} There is another that beareth witness of me;
and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
{33} Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
{34} But I receive not testimony from man:
but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
{35} He was a burning and a shining light:
and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

{36} But I have greater witness than that of John:
for the works which the Father hath given me to finish,
the same works that I do, bear witness of me,
that the Father hath sent me.
{37} And the Father himself, which hath sent me,
hath borne witness of me.
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
{38} And ye have not his word abiding in you:
for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

{39} Ye Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
]and they are they which testify of me.
{40} And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

{41} I receive not honour from men.
{42} But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
{43} I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not:
if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
{44} How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another,
and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
{45} Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father:
there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
{46} For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me:
for he wrote of me.
{47} But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

The excerpt is from the King James Version. There are versions of the bible out that make it alot easier to read in plain english. For example, I own a international version. There's also the NIV version and the new King James verson. Really good stuff in there.

if you believe in the devil or hell then surely there must be a supreme being that cares for us all, rather than destroy us all, some embrace the flesh and decay like the leaf in fall, but I embrace the father and live forever.
