A Priest & and a Baptist minister were pounding in the ground a huge sign near my home. It said END is NEAR, turn back before it's too late. Just then a car just flew by and the people inside yelled out to them and said: Leave us alone you religious nuts. Then they heard a horrible crash!!!

Then the Priest said: Shouldn't we have just said:
"Bridge is Out"

I'm born and bar mitzvahd at 13 years old- i was given a copy of the Jewish scriptures -do u believe the bible??? i do now do you??? it works oh yes!!
-and when i read it-Moses said "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and ive given it to make atonement -(forgiveness) for your sins. without Jesus we dont have a blood atonement-(Leviticus 17 vs 11) so did God lie? and Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 (predicted 700 bce-before Jesus) "He will be exaulted but first he would be marred (hurt) more than any man, and be the anointed one The Messiah who will die as the lamb of God to make atonement for our souls-forgiveness of sins-and see his spiritual seed and prosper."
but i had to pray as Jesus said-do u believe this too????
Jesus said he knocks on each heart to come in -deliver from sins and be our friend-amen Revelation 3 vs 19&20 so i prayed-"Jesus come into my heart-forgive my sins and help me do better-be my friend, amen"---and it happened thank God! ;) oh yesss

The religion I am referring to inidicates a limited amount of space in heaven, yet has the largest evangelist population. Spends millions each year on publications to help spread the word, and convert new followers. Does this make sense? If heaven really is limited on the amount of people it can hold, and this religion claims to have converted 234,000 people last year alone, aren't these folks selling their own spot in heaven? Why risk it? This is not relgion bashing, so if you have negative comments, direct them elsewhere.

I grew up in a mining area, but had never heard the term coal tattoo or the meaning until reading a book by that name. I am just curious if anyone has heard it used and if they also heard the "meaning" of the coal tattoo.

The bible specifically the gospel of Jesus Christ does not teach christmas, First century christians does not celebrate christmas. Biblically speaking christmas doctrine is addition to the scriptures, which God forbids us to do. Why celerate christmas?

THe others claim it to be profound. Christ did'nt die so people could work on the Sabbath..yet at one time God thought it important enough to declare death as the penalty...who has a rational answer?

I was told the polite way is to scoop it from the back of the plate and sip it from the side of the spoon. Obviously no slurping sounds allowed. Is this 'correct'?

It just seems my experiences in life after loosing the most important people I've loved including my soulmate and my dog of 15 years have occured in this order:
sorrow, anger, sorror, start life over again and again and again and after some time, which is different in each case, I gradually start thinking and remembering them less each day. I never totally forget but I think we all want our closest loved ones to be OK after we're gone...no matter what it takes....?

Hi,
Let me be upfront and report that I'm not christian. I've studied (and study) christianity and am not convinced it's true. However, understanding what christians think better enables me to understand them and to relate and communicate with them.

Having said that, my question regards matthew 8.
( http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Matthew+23&version1=9 )

now, the clause "even christ" in verse 8 is what interests me. Firstly its interesting, though somewhat irrelevant, that other than the KJV, most other versions don't have it.
That aside, it seems to me that that KJV is understanding that clause as "don't call anyone rabbi -- even the christ shouldn't be called rabbi". As such, the "even christ" clause in verse 10 (which all versions seem to have) would also seem to have the connotation of "even christ shouldn't be called that".
Or am I misunderstanding the "even" clause?

Any help (with references to the original greek~) would be helpful

Why do Pagans and Christians always seem to hate each other? We're sharing the same planet, so, and I hate to sound like an idiot, but why can't we all just get along? Why is it so hard for some to accept that not everyone thinks, believes or practices their belief in the same way?

A man and woman are in a relationship and have had sex. They are having relationship problems and the relationship is on again off again. It has been two weeks since they have seen each other.

The woman calls the man late one night and asks him to come over for company. He comes over drunk and wants to have sex. He's drunk, but calm and friendly, not agressive. She doesn't want to have sex, just wants his company. They go to bed and she's wearing pajama bottoms and top. He forcefully removes her pants, holds her down, and has sex with her. She says no and stop over and over again and pushes her off, but he continues to have sex with her. Is this rape?

My friend has greasy thin hair. I know she washes it because I was at her house a couple of times and told me she was going to wash her hair in the sink. Anyhow, everytime I hang out with her she scatches her head and dandruff fall out. She does this every time we hang out. I think it is very gross and annoying. However, if she really needs to scratch her head she can do in the restroom or something. Do you think I'm going overboard with this issue?
How can I stop my friend from doing this gross habit?

Regardless of our individual faith, or doctrine, America is predominantly Christian. How would countries that are predominantly Muslim or Jewish deal with this sort of issue, and would God Judge them?

I don't know what this means, you could say a few other metropolises are as "defiled", e.g. Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami Beach, Copenhagen, Tokyo, even Istanbul, Athens, Frankfurt, London, Moscow...
