God made two people, Adam and Eve. they were both white. where did mexicans and African americans come from.Where did god,the one who made everything and everybody,but where did he come from. who made him. If god could do anything than why does he have to make our lives so miserable some times. He just lets bad things happen.

I would like to know what your experiences have been. first, where do you live and how do you handle the legal matter of a marriage. Are you heartbroken or is she a friend that helps you? Do you all live together in the same house or do you have separate houses that your husband sleeps at? when and how were you told that you were sharing a husband? etc.??

Why were Adam and Eve not ashamed of being naked, but when sin entered the world, being naked was bad? If it is inherently bad to be naked all the time, why was it perfect and pure before the fall? Why can't we all be naked now?

I want to start a womens shelter where workers and volunteers are required to treat abused/homeless women with respect. Depending on the location, I have considered other options like a community center, rehab clinic or even a free clinic instead of homeless shelter.

I am 19 yr. old female who turning 20 in a couple of weeks. I have a really bad past. I used to drink alot, smoked all the time spend my money recklessly whatever it was I did it. When I was 18 I got a credit card that had a $200 limit and I have yet to pay it off... back then I didn't care... needless to say the principle and interest are sky high. Now that I'm trying clean up my life and be responsible... I have two jobs while going to school full time...I need help. I have to move out cause I can't live with mother any more, so I went with a friend to get an apartment. It is tax credit housing... I have money to pay rent but I'm not sure if they will approve. What can I do clean up the financial mess that I have made and make myself financially independent from my parents and financially stable and secure for the future? How do I clean up credit by the time I'm 22? Do you think the housing people will reject me?

Is performing semi naked on a mirrored crucifix still brave ? Wouldn't doing the same on a mirrored crescent moon "push people buttons " ( as she puts it ) more effectively ?

Hello. I've noticed how many christians are constantly emphasizing leaving and cleaving so you can have a healthy marriage. Honestly I don't really understand the principle. How does dumping your parents and siblings result in a healthy marriage? I'm very close to my twin brother and parents and if my husband ever made me choose I would probably resent him rather than see him as a real man for "stealing" me away from my family.

Also how everyone exphasizes putting your spouse first. Thats ok but what ever happened to compromise? Since when did acting like a dictator and expecting your spouse to focus only on you and forget everyone else, even those that he loves, be good for a marriage?

I've noticed that white protestants are usually very distant from their families. While catholics and jewish people are closer.

Also seems that americans who eastern or southern european origins are much closer to their families than americans with west european origins. Even african and hispanic americans are closer.

So why do protestants and americans with west european origins stay so distant from their families?

If you read Matthew (28:1-10), Mark (16:1-20), Luke (24:1-12), and John (20: 1-18), you will find contradicting stories. They all agreed that the tomb was guarded for three days. However, they reported the discovery of the empty tomb differently.
Matthew (28) and John (20) reported that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were the first to discover the tomb.
Mark (16) reports that Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome were the first to discover the empty tomb.
Mark (28) reports that there was an earthquake that removed the rock from over the tomb. He says that an angel caused it. The other gospels do not mention of an earthquake.
Matthew and Mark say that only ONE man in white clothes was sitting on the tomb when the woman arrived, and that he was an angel.
Luke says that TWO men in white clothes, who were angels, were sitting. Johns says that the two women did not meet anybody the first time they came to the tomb, but when they returned, they saw TWO people, ONE was an ANGEL, and the other was JESUS.
Matthew reports that when the guards reported this to the chief priest, the chief priest paid them a large sum of money, telling them: "You have to say that his disciples came at night and stole his body." He claims that the soldiers took money and spread the story around and since then, the story had been circulating among the Jews until today (according to Matthew). The other gospels do not report of any such thing.
35. Which narration now is more authentic?
36.Why is the appearance of Jesus after the crucifixion taken as a proof of his resurrection when there is an explanation that he was not dead because someone else was crucified in his place when God saved Him?
37.How did Matthew know of the claimed agreement between the soldiers and the chief priest? Can’t someone say that someone paid the women a large sum of money and told them to spread the word around that Jesus rose from the dead, with the same authenticity as that of the story of Matthew?
38.Why did they believe that man in the white clothes? Why did they believe he was an angel? John’s narration is too strange, since he says that Mary did not recognize Jesus (one of the two) while talking to him, and she only recognized him when he called her by her name.
39.How does an empty tomb prove that Jesus was crucified ? Isn’t it that God is capable of removing another man from the tomb, and of resurrecting him too?
40.The Gospels are believed to be the verbatim words of God, they are supposed to be dictated by the Holy Spirit to the Disciples who wrote them. If the source were the same, why shouldn’t they correspond with each other in reporting such an important event?
41.How could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be considered eyewitnesses of resurrection when the Bible implies that nobody at all saw Jesus coming out of the tomb?

I don't know, it just bothers me that not everyone can understand the concept of opinions. It shouldn't bother you/me too much or as much I guess

There isn't much of a point to this question..

Im not religious, but my background is Christianity. On numerous occassions I have prayed for things that ultimately were not in my best interest. For example, one of my biggest desires was to go to NYU in 2001. Had I gotten accepted to NYU in 2001, I would have been in all that 9-11 drama. Imagine the trauma. Thats just one of many things. I wonder if I'm the only one..

Please dont bore me with religious bantor. I am looking for people with sincere answers who arent religious extremist. Thanks.
