take any issue - and show me bible verses against it
and I will show you other verses for it--------------
So really what good is it? Other than some entertaining little stories???
Don't get me wrong, those little stories have helped me greatly in my life, but nothing i have read in it makes me believe it is the ultimate authority of what is right and wrong, or the words from the creator of all things - the Star Wars movies and other sources have helped me out just as much --

If you believe in following the Bible - how is it possible??

This is a serious question. My girlfriend (same as a g/f) was born and lived in Russia for many years. She is now a US citizen. I tried to tell her that we all were immigrants or children of them (in theory) so I then suggested that "our" forfathers are hers too!

isn't that right?

I think there may be another world somewhere out there, do you? I dont know about aliens or little green men, but maybe something?
Does anyone else think there is life somewhere else?
Do you think it will ever be discovered?

Just thought I'd put a question mark on the end of that famous line. Personally I think religion was something created by humanity at a time when humans didn't have the means to figure out why the world worked as it did (science, technology etc). I also think that people stick to religion as a means of feeling safe; they delude themselves into believing an illusion—an illusion that there is order in the universe, and that salvation is possible. The number of atheists in the world is growing...maybe one day religion will be looked upon as a barbaric, primitive custom as humanity grows more advanced.

I know some people don't like labels, but I am asking this question anyways.

What were/are you perceived/labelled as in Highschool?
OR
What kind of "groups" do/did you have in Highschool?

*Sorry if I somehow offend anyone!

the national entity, is function of the human government. This function includes the concept of a courtroom and the policeman on the beat. In no way is this intended to be derogatory toward the law; to the contrary, it is a recognition of the importance of law enforcement, and the proper prosecution of law in the courtroom. However, there came a time in human history when this very important function broke down completely, and, of all things with the only Person who was absolutely perfect in His humanity.

Your thoughts?

God is all knowing, so we're told. He creates some 'friends', one gives him trouble. He creates some subjects, they won't listen, God tries to communicate his instructions but they are misinterpreted several times. We have to suffer day to day because at some point, some of you who didn't ask to be here in the first place will we thrown into the eternal recycler, while the other will live happily ever after. Why???

What are your thoughts on people who send you nasty emails, in response to either a answer you give or a question you ask, then change their settings so you can't reply to them? Cowardly or just petty bitc*hes. Happened to me sooo many times. Any thoughts

It's often very easy to spot one abroad. And I don't mean the fat middle aged ones ignoring signs prohibiting flash photography, I mean young people as well.

Don't get me wrong, I have American friends, but many of them are also quite loud, and cringe when they see other Americans on holidays

Based upon Hebrews 6:1-6
1. They teach a person can loose their salvation.
2. They teach a person can regain their salvation.
3. They teach a person can again loose their salvation.
4. They teach a person can again regain their salvation.
5. They teach this can happen an unlimited amount of time.
6. Yet, since they teach that Hebrews 6:1-6 is talking about a Christian loosing his/her salvation they are ignoring a really big point. Hebrews 6:6 says "it is IMPOSSIBLE to renew them again..."
7. The most they should be teaching is that the Christian can have salvation and loose it, but then THAT'S IT! No more chances, no more opportunities....

I am a Catholic and to me the Eucharist is truly the Body of Christ. I love communion as it is then then my Lord comes to dwell with me. I feel His presence always but more at that moment. What does communion mean to you?Not judging this is just a chance to express your belief. Please do the same.

Blood stains are hard to get out, and it seems silly to just throw out a shirt, blouse, pants or a skirt with only a small blood stain in same. Any solutions out there?

Strange little experiment we're living in. If I open the glove compartment of my car, I tend to find the manual from the car manufacturer I'm driving. However, the most powerful entity in the known Universe has somehow 'botched' the transmissions of his message, leading to Religious wars (see 'Middle East'), mass genocide and racism (Dafur), and the creator just sits back and watches? If I had all knowledge, I wouldn't have created beings knowing they'd eat the apple I held sacred or employed staff that would eventually turn against me. Discuss.

Here is my reasoning: Until and unless one of these supposed "healers" restores an arm or leg or finger or ear or nose that has been torn away from another persons body, they are fake. They all do the same type charlatin, psychological minupliation, illusioinist stuff that David Blain or others can do. Wake up people! Give me a break!
