I'm so tired of them trying to convert people in Africa and Asian and telling them that there way of life is wrong. Why do they do this? Right now in Venzuela there is this Christain missonary group called New Tribes that is trying to convert inegious native americans to the christain religion. Why don't they get that everyone wants to have their own beliefs?

We all know that human beings should be treated equally according to the religion. Then why does jesus appear as white male?
He could be black, asian, etc. or even a female, right?

Or to a further extent, he could be some other type of organism!

Dont people know that the Bible didnt just fall out of the sky from Heaven? It wasn't written by God... It was written by men and edited by politicians who used it in order to advance their own political agendas... many scriptures were purposely left out by "scholars" who voted on what should be left in or taken out. How can people really take this book seriously knowing this??? I'm not trying to be controversial or offensive- I actually want a real answer that I can believe... something tells me there isn't one.

Please provide evidence as to why you think so. Is there anything that supports your particular religion not being based on man-made ideas or previous religions?

I just use a list of one example of one thing next to the other. This has happend all my life I'm just wondering if it happens to you or for some reason I'm cursed.

So I decided that I want to buy a 4 wheeler well everyone convinced me that I should by the kodiak 400 with no low gear. Well now I tried to sell it and no one wants to by a 4 wheeler with no low gear. Then I buy a 1987 dodge dakota to haul the 4 wheeler 4 $1,300.00 it's a complete piece of **** and the guy lied to me about the condition it was in. I had to dump $1000.00 into it just to get it to run. and I tried to sell it and no one wants to buy it. Then I decide I need a trailer so I buy one for $550.00 and after I drive home with it I find out that the lights don't work and it has 3 broken welds. I always get screwed even if I do my research first. I just don't understand Several other things in my life are the same way. How do I change this? I want luck to work on my side!!

there are at least two sides to every question and answer.
we have the ability to decide what we"glean" from situations and conversations.

sometimes we need a little of both.

So, why exactly is it Xtians don't practice the rules of the OT? What is the reason Christians are exempt from following OT Laws made by Jehovah, like Levictus 20:9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him. ?

Genuinely curious here. What is the method of reasoning is being used here?

The real question is: Is alliteration based on sounds or letters?

and yet these people try and convert the whole world. Why are people being converted if only 114,000 people get into heaven?

Being the eldest of four, the onus of looking after my mother fell on me as my brothers and sister are setled abroad. I married a gorgeous woman and lead a great life together. Our two sons have the looks and are really talented. People gape us -my wife for looks and I for my NON Indian looks and outlook to life. Having tried, I have just not been able to adjust to this life style as hard as I try. This has led to a fair share of problems as I am considered a snob who does not speak our langauge - hindi and all feel I am not proud to be an Indian. I am making every attempt to learn hindi and to get rid of the tag but the tag of being a foreigner in my own country keeps coming up. I admit my mannerisms are def. not really Indian and neither is my sense of dressing and behavoiur. People wonder why I wish them while getting into a lift, for example!Can anyone try and help me or tell me the best way I could adjust to India and the way of life here. Professionaly I am doing very well.

NOTE: I NEED ONLY THOSE WHO ARE KONWLEDGABLE IN CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY IN THIS CONCEPT.

In Christianity:
Is Jesus the Son of God?
Is Jesus part of God?
Is Jesus man who is God-incarnate?
Was Jesus a man before he became God?
Was Jesus God before he became man?
Did Jesus become God after he was crucified?
Was Jesus God before he was crucified?

I will ask another series of questions.

It means to take a shot of whatever you drank the night before when you have a hangover, but how did it start to mean this?
Any thoughts?
