My brother married a Jehovah's Witness. My brother and myself are Christians. I don't understand why she was dead set against having the name of Jesus in their ceremony. Can anyone answer? Serious answers pls.

If the tribulation Lasts exactly 7 years, which it does right?

And if the rapture happens after the Tribulation, Then As soon as the Antichrist signs the peace treaty, We know the Tribulation has begun. We can simply add 7 years from that date to get the rapture. Right to the Minute. But we dont know the day nor hour?

Nobody knows the day nor hour, So It simply cant be post, now?

Christians today say that if your not saved you will go to hell, but the whole concept of Christ and "being saved" wasnt invented until about 2000 years ago - so did everyone before that die and go to hell? If so, why would God do that to his children? Why didnt he send Jesus earlier to them? Thats billions of people who weren't saved and now are burning in hell for all eternity...thats not fair, kinda mean actually....

I am a spiritual person. A christian. I have lucid dreams from time to time with rich spiritual meaning and i am usually able to interpret, but this latest one has me perplexed:

It is a bright sunny day. Not one cloud. The moon is out and full but closer to the earth than i have ever seen it. In between the moon and the earth there is a small brown /red planet that sparks and then explodes and metoers are inevitably going to pelt the earth. My mother in law and I get in the backseat of a black truck and head west /uphill towards my grandmothers house.

Then i wake up. Shaken on the inside and sweating.

I had nothing unusual to eat the night before and no i am not on drugs.

Anyone? Anyone?

I'm a mormon and this is important to me. Although the LDS is the 2nd fastest growing church in the US, there are basicly only 3 groups of people and mormons. Group 1 is mormons, Groups 2 is mormon haters, and Group 3 is mormon non-belivers. Please help.

My theory is that Eden was earth--paradise before sin. The Tree of Good/Bad (life--Giver) was God. Who else would know everything, but God. The life(fruit) was humanity. When Eve took the fruit from the tree, I think it means that she "seperated" man from God by being their own masters. I believe the prophets wrote and spoke in Metaphor for things of the past and future they didn't see in their life. The apostles witnessed christ--not a metaphor [Jesus said he was the vine (tree) and we are the branches (fruit)] What do you think???

This is question Twenty One in my ongoing quest to see how much the general populus understands about GOD, the Bible, and the Religions that follow them.

21. What is Grace?

Grace, grace, grace. Everybody's talking about grace. According to the Scriptures and many followers of modern Christianity, Grace is the reward of those that accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Well, that's cool and all, but what exactally IS grace. On the many different occasions when I have heard others speak of Grace, I heard many different answers (somesounded delicious!), but surely only one or two could be correct AND accurate, right??

Well, let's see what you think! Don't be basful, there's plenty of room for answers and no character limit!

This charge was totally false- bitter custody battle - and since our divorce, she's on husband number 4, and only 29 years old! I am a nurse- and this background check is time consuming and embarrasing when an ASSAULT ON A WOMAN appears. Absolute truth- I have never struck another human- not even another guy- as Woody Allen is more my forte than Arnold Swartzneger - Ideas anyone? I have been told an appeal must be filed through the Texas governors office- hopefully Kinky will win-

No explanations please. Though, Others - you may specify what your beliefs are (for example: "O - Hindu" would be a reasonable response).

And please, no wagering on the results.....

He is very very unfair. I work my tail off to make deadlines. I am very reliable and hardworking, yet he totally ignores me and only talks to my other co-workers. The only time he talks to me is when he needs something from me. He leaves me out of office activities and when credit is due to me, he congratulates "the team" when it is my hard work that caused the success. I don't understand him at all. He is also very moody and if you talk to him when he is in one of his "moods" you will get the cold shoulder.

I have read the Quran thoroughly many times and I have found many verses that call for peace with non-muslims. I have also found many verses that call for war with non-muslims. I asked many Muslim scholars who said that the latter ones (that call for war) are only applicable in case of self-defence. However, in many of those latter verses, I could not find anything that limit the war to people who attack Muslims.

Does anyone know when should Muslim call for peace and when should they call for war? and what should be applicable in nowadays? Also, if teh verses that call for war are only applicable in case of self defence on Muslim state, how can we define a muslim state? is it any state with its majority are Muslims?
