This is what I was told by a very pious Jewish scholar, and I believe it is true. Is it possible that this is the full meaning of the concept of "chosen people" or do they have rights that supercede other humans?

Well I'm getting to a point in my life where I'm comfortable with my sexuality and am ready to start coming out. My question is who needs to hear it first. I was thinking of starting with my brother, then the friends I know (hope) won't have a problem with it, and telling the parentals last. That way if telling the parents backfires, seeing as how I live with them, then I have someone to turn to for help if i need a place to stay (hopefully not, but I'm not too confident my parents will take it all too well, especially dad.) Mom is a family therapist and I'm pretty sure she already knows and I'm almost sure she'll be ok with it, but dad treats me like crap all the time so I need to be prepared to move out if **** hits the fan. What do you guys think would make it easier? Also I think I want my closest friends to be there when I tell my mom, think that would be a good idea, having support? I'm not telling dad unless he asks...and I'm sure mom will drop subtle hints to him.

If the world comes to the point of planetary suicide wouldn't that bring jesus back?

If this is the position of most Christians wouldn't you be the one rooting for wrld war 3 ? I mean IF it hastens the return of god wouldn't Christians be the big supporters of nuclear war?

I do not believe in jesus but I can see how the belief in him affects world politics and it frankly scares me that some Christians might want to try to commit global suicide in the belief god is coming back.

Hw does this affect your thinking and perception of war?

Is world war a good thing - will it bring world peace are you secretly hoping it will all "blow -up " s god can take over ....does this affect how "christian" leaders think?

Can anyone of you deny the fact that only Quran is the book which is memorized whole, cover to cover, by millions of people around the world(myself being one of them Alhamdulillah), and that it is impossible to change even one letter of the Quran? Also the people who memorize the Quran, most of them are not arabs nor do they understand even a word of arabic, and you will find even small children, 6,7,8 year olds who have memorized the whole Quran. What does this tell you about the Quran?

It just seems like noone can handle it in any way shape or form be it history or just on a shirt. People say its racist, but if you group the people who fly it into just a bunch of rednecks, are you not as bad as them?

The more people complain about it the more powerful it becomes. It seems people are just putting too much into the symbol and not the people behind it.

On another question someone posted this as An answer :

since in the Bible it states that forgiveness comes only through Christ that the Catholic church is wrong to believe that you can have forgiveness by paying a penance or asking a Priest instead of Christ. Since this goes against what Christ said, that is why a lot of people think the Catholic Church is "not Christian".

So that we are clear, the Church states that Christ is the one that forgives the sin....the Priest acts 'in persona' of Christ. It actually IS biblical for the priest to act in this capacity.----"As the Father has sent me, even so I send you. . . . Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained" (John 20:21–23).

So, any better reasons why people think that Catholics are not Christians?

God bless everyone who reads this for some who May thing that Hell is fake and God is not real please think it over read Matthew 24 it talk about stuff we go through now in life the bible is so real please think it over God Loves you he wants you to accept him. 1 Corinthians 2 vrs14-16 14The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: 16"For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.Colossians 3 vrs 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.2 Corinthians 5vrs 7-10 7We live by faith, not by sight. please Accept God don't wait until the last minute God Loves you he Loves you God is love email me respond to me write back he wants you to be saved God bless anyone who reads this

In Matthew 16:28 Jesus says to his disciples, "Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom"... So jesus is telling them he would come back before the last of them were dead which would have been in the 2nd century CE at the latest.
So what happened was Jesus lying, wrong, did he come back and nobody noticed? To those of you who claim the Bible is the infallible word of God how do you explain this. To those of you who curse threaten ans write obscenities to my questions, I thank you
sincerely and turn the other cheek :)

...what do you want to happen to people who disagree with you about religion, politics, lifestyle or anything else?

Recent studies show that when we think of our own deaths, we want all others who disagree with us to suffer, burn in Hell. Studies also conclude that those who have discovered that love is the balm for all wounds, and not power, want just the opposite for their enemies. But these people are very rare in the world.

It seems to me that the level of respect we show each other has declined sharply since I was a kid (and I am only 25!).

I watch TV shows and kids are calling their parents and other adults terrible things. People no longer say please and thankyou to strangers and are even worse to the people they know. When people bump in to you they don't say sorry anymore.

Do you think that we have become less respectful, and do you think that this has contributed to many of our societal problems?
