You all must have missed this.

Do they think Heaven was "invented" a couple hundred years ago when their church came about?

And I was taught in my early composition classes, you only capitalize "God" when you are specifically referring to one god, or in your case, the God. However, in many religions there are several gods.....not just one. Therefore when referencing these gods singularly, it is written "god".
You should try picking up a secular copy of webster's dictionary. You may find some words in their that might inspire you to think freely.

I said it, and not on my authority, but His. I have no religeon. I have a faith, and personal relationship with Christ. If you want to put a "number" on my faith, the one who is my savior has been around with no beggining and no end, for He is timeless. I point no fingers, I only say that which is on His authority. If you perceive what I say to be my words, you are sadly mistaken, and must take it up with HIM!
How can I make the claims on His authority and be so bold?
In John 12:44 we read, "Jesus cried and said, 'He that believes on Me, believes not on Me, but on Him that sent Me. He that sees Me, sees Him that sent Me. I am come as a light into the world, that whosoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. If any man hears my words and believes not, I judge him not, for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. Whoever rejects Me and receives not My words has one that judges him; the word that I have spoken shall judge him in that last day. For I have not spoken of Myself, but the Father which sent Me, He commanded Me what I should say and what I should speak. I know that His commandment is life everlasting. I speak whatever the Father said unto Me to speak.'"
because later Christ says "the word that I have spoken shall judge him in that last day"
I quote scripture, and understand what I am quoting. Some of you see me as prideful in doing so. What you do not understand, is that I am accountable to Christ for the things that I say to you, and not to distort His words.

I give you no propesy...I post the word of God. He only loves you...and yet you hate his compassion. You may think you know compassion, yet you do not grasp what Christ did for you.

S2krn...You may read that Christ did not come to judge, but instead to save. You may want to believe the "did not come to judge" and you would be correct. What you fail to understand, it that when He comes again...It is to judge...
because later Christ says "the word that I have spoken shall judge him in that last day"

1 John 2:27
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
Christ abides in me. Does he abide in you that you can make claims...you do not post His words...You spit out what s2krn thinks. I have His authority, and His words to back up all that I speak, because I speak for HIM>

Straight out of the dictionary:
priest |prēst|
noun
1 an ordained minister of the Catholic, Orthodox, or Anglican Church having the authority to perform certain rites and administer certain sacraments.
• a person who performs religious ceremonies and duties in a non-Christian religion.

How about looking up the definition of Christian rather than Priest:
Main Entry:
1Chris·tian
Pronunciation:
\ˈkris-chən, ˈkrish-\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Latin christianus, adjective & noun, from Greek christianos, from Christos
Date:
1526
one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ
By definition anybody who believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ is a Christian irregardless of denomination.
