This young lady really needed some advice, and all the righteous Christians told her to pray about it. I find this to be very bad advice in her situation. Is this the ultimate downfall of faith? I have no doubt that these people felt like they were helping her, but in reality were giving her advice that would not help her at all. Is it that hard for fundies to see reality, and put someone else's future over their own agenda? I am ranting here, but this really irritates me.

I love America and I take a lot of pride in being an American, but ever since 9-11, it seems like you can't help but be force fed that patriotic stuff. From the rednecks who are avid Toby Keith fans to every other email I recieve telling me not to forget. I mean no disrespect to the fallen, but I have had too much of it.

me and my friend were discussing this. i still don't know what D4L meant by this. if this is a body part, what is it? otherwise we thought it was a bunch of girls dancing and shaking laffy taffy in their hands.

If you look at the Muslim and Jewish relgions as well as many others, you'll find that their place of worship is also the center for the community and the center of their culture. Do you think the church should do this as well (Not in place of worship and fellowship, but in addition to) What do you all think? (No bashing please)

Isn't it pretty likely that Jesus heard someone talking about Buddhism somewhere?

I've heard good Christian folk say this and I've heard it in a song by Depece Mode who seem pretty far removed from Christianity. If possible could you explain this?

So, today I was talking to my great uncle, and when I was walking to get some more prune juice for him, I slipped on a rogue banana peel. It shocked me so much that I started laughing hysterically. My great uncle Reginald was in awe. Then he ran to help me, and while eating a rice cake, he slipped on a encyclopedia, and chipped his tooth on his rice cake. He also went flying through the wall out into our front yard. I was still lying unconscious on the cold, hard, unwelcoming tile. Reginald came back in to find me unresponsive. He gave me mouth-to-mouth recessitation and cleaned all my toilets. When I woke up, all I could see was my naked uncle dancing to "Behind These Hazel Eyes", you know.. because hazel eyes run in my family, of course. He was rocking out so hard that he managed to shove his head through the wallboard. I rushed to his rescue but I was too busy laughing.. so I went and took a crap instead. Is this a sin?

Bible says the will of God is "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice", and receiving the promise comes after doing the will of God. Bible also says God "sent" his Son, but notably not till the fulfness of the time for the law part of the law/grace shew had expired, and not to condemn(law) the world.

So JC plays God in the flesh, etc; For the Bible also says God is "excepted"(exempt) from the shew purposed to shew who is the blessed and only Potentate in his (plural) times as Jesus (Son of man & Son of God, but of high God) and Christ (Son of God, but of higher God). For Jesus, who is high priest of divided God on high in plural and divided heavens, brought division and not peace; Whereas Christ brought peace and not division as Son of God in "heaven"("higher than the heavens").

Not to mention it's all "allegory" and "mystery" to solve; and every good mystery has lots of twists to it.

Why do you believe your church is THE true church? When the bible says that a church is made up of believers in christ? It's not a certain organization or certain building. As long as you are with fellow believers that worship Jesus, it's church. How can you say that yours in the true church? It's not about "the church", it's about Jesus.

what will that person be in heaven a man, or a woman? And, if they have a partner who is male and did not know that their wife used to be a man, would their union be considered a sin on the husband's behalf? Just curious what type of responces I'd get.
