I'm talking about when you go to the mall, the club, church, the store, how many girls do you see that you think are HOT? How many do you think you would do? You can answer in percentages or words like none, morst, some, all, etc.

For those of you who quote the Bible to support your argument that it is a sin to be gay, what is your position on the verses in Leviticus that state: "You shall not approach a woman...while she is in her menstrual uncleanness", "You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard", "You shall not...tattoo any marks upon you", "you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; nor wear a garment made of two different materials." What'r your views on the fact that Leviticus also forbids the eating of pigs and some forms of seafood. And the word "abomination" in Leviticus is translated from the Hebrew word "to'ebah", a religious term reserved for use against idolotry, refering to the temple prostitution that went on back then; some men had sex w/ each other as religious ritual, not as love--look it up. Also, what are your views on the fact that Jesus--the Son of God--never said anything about same gender relationships being evil. Not a single word.

How many of you are unable to read the Bible literally, but still find it helpful in bringing you closer to God?

Another erudite Christian scholar, Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, says on page 277 of his book, "The Call of the Minaret":
"Not so the New Testament3 . . . There is condensation and editing; 4 there is choice, reproduction and witness. The Gospels have come through the mind of the Church behind the authors. They represent experience and history." 5
If words have any meaning, do we need to add another word of comment to prove our case? No! But the professional propagandists, after letting the cat out of the bag, still have the face to try to make their readers believe that they have proved beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Bible is the "irrefragable 6 Word of God." Their semantic gymnastics — equivocating, and playing with words — is amazing!
Al-Qur'an, the Holy Book of God, also condemns this mulish mentality:
DEAF, DUMB and BLINK, THEY WILL NOT RETURN (TO THE PATH) Holy Quran, Sura Baqara 2:18

"They've found fossils of seashells and sea creatures in the mountains. 40 days of heavy rain. It also says the ground opened up and spilled forth water."

Am I the only one who sees an alternate explaination for the fossilized shells on mountain tops?

Can anyone else give me one?

Is anyone else out there confused about religion? I grew up in the Jehovah Witness Religion. I went to that church from the time I was about 5 till I was about 16 yrs. old. My family stopped attending, for no real reason really. We just got busy with life. My mom still reads their literature and has faith in that religion. There are some things I do not agree with and for that matter do not consider myself to be a Jehovah Witness, but I do consider myself to be a Christian. Now that I've grown up (Im in my mid 20's) I'd like to start attending a church again, but I don't know which one. How do I research different religions without going to hundreds of churchs'? And is it right to just PICK a religion? How does one really know for sure that it's the RIGHT ONE and that it's the TRUTH?

God made man and gave him free will, in man's free will, he chose to go against God, therefore all humans sin. However, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven.

Why do people hate this concept?

I can't even begin to tell you how frustrating it is to try and debate with someone who has no idea what the counterpoint is about. I am just venting here more than anything, so please excuse my hostility. I am just so sick of the "Why are monkeys still here?" argument.

Though there are exceptions it seems like huge families are mainly in the poor populations. Using condoms is a heck of a lot cheaper than feeding all these kids. When I see articles about the poor families who need help, and then there's the picture of the 6 + kids, I just don't feel sorry for them anymore. They make me sick and the only charity I would like to give them is money towards spaying and fixing.

smoking, drinking, tattoos, dancing, sex, using bad language...etc... I am asking christians what you think about these things as pertaining to the bible. I know what the bible says on most of these issues, but I still would like to hear from others your opinions. Please be specific using verses if you would like. And please be serious about your answers. Thank you.

You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!" [Psalm 139:16]

Now here is my problem....everytime something bad happens Christians say it was God's plan. Now why does God allow abortion? If he planed our lives was abortioned planned by him as well?

Now I know I will get the answer that he gave us free will. Now how can a life that is determined by the choices we make day by day possibly planned?

My 20 something nephew has been living with us for years. I also have 4 kids (3 mine and 1 step). I feel uncomfortable about having sex in my own home cuz I am afraid someone is outside the door. Also my husband and nephew are like best friends and I feel like he share everything with him including our sex life. I told him I believed I was bi and then my nephew started saying check her out. Making me a very uncomfortable and wanting to back off. What do you suggest???

as some sort of fearful person just by their remarks. God is a god to love who is forgiving shows love and understganding not revenge and damnation if one does not revert to the preacher's type of Church. I love God and at peace with him. I do not go to any type of church for this reason and practice my christianity by helping other human beings (and animals) we I feel are in genuine need.

The Bible speaks of 40 days of rain.

It's been raining where I live for 3 days straight and it has been devastating to homes and roads in the area.

What do you think?
