An ex-girlfriend, Michelle, got married and had three children with her husband. Several years later, she somehow got my email address and needless to say what happened a few email exchanges later.

So, each time that Michelle and I would get together she would tell her husband that she was going to the gym. She'd go so far with the lie that she'd actually check in at the gym and then sneak out the side door just in case he ever tried to check up on her.

Sometimes we'd meet up at a hotel and other times she'd come by my place--depending on what was going on in my life of course.

Anyway, one time Michelle said: "I didn't cook dinner for him and the kids. I've got to order them some food. I told him that I was going to call in a pizza for delivery on my way to the gym."

After Michelle called in the pizza to be delivered to her husband and kids, she went into my bathroom. While she was in the bathroom, I called the pizza place and cancelled the order. Immoral?

why do men have nipples?
seriously. scientifically, it is because when we are concieved, we all start exactly the same, as female. then a little while later, a male gets a shot of hormone, and becomes a male.

But if Man was created first, in God's image, and Women created for that man, why the nipples?

What bugs me most is that the pretext for the who Afghanistan/Iraq invasion was 9-11 and that 9-11 was so obviously a false flag operation conducted by a rogue network in-and-out-of the executive branch of our own government. Several foreign intelligence agencies had dirty hands in the matter, as well.

Bush and his colleagues should be impeached, tried for their crimes and hanged.

If you have experienced sanctification--do you sense anything different about yourself--do you sense more guidance from God than you did before, less likelihood to sin, etc?

I've wondered about this because I was raised in the Church of the Nazarene and read about and studied about entire sancification and the other articles of faith (http://www.nazarene.org/welcome/we_believe.html) but I've not understood what real life difference 'entire sanctification' actually makes in a person's life. If you say it's a process (I've heard it described that way) what milestones in that process have you reached--any results?

I'd expect changes like what I mentioned above. Thanks

i've heard many people tell me homosexuality is a choice. i've heard many people tell me it is what you are born with. some people even say it is passed down through a gene. well, for those who care, my theory...

out of all the above theories people use to explain homosexuality, i believe none of them. none of these theories have been proven so they remain what they are; theories.

being a religious person, i cannot believe that God would create a person to be homosexual when He destroyed a city (according to the bible) full of homosexuals doing homosexual acts. God offered them a warning and they did not stop engaging in homosexuals acts, so, "ka-pow"

i also find it hard to believe it is a choice. i admit, even i did not chose to be straight. and the whole gene theory is whack to me since there is no proof of this gene.

what i do believe is this: (continued on additional details)

1. If your God wants us to worship him through our own free will,
why does he threaten us with Hell?
If you have someone threatening you with a punishment, it isn't free will.
Clarify your answer.

I think it's a pretty good idea. They serve NO good purpose. Have no regard for human life except their own and will even stab their own gang in the back to save their own a ss. They even corrupt little kids.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that I am wrong... (just as those that believe other things could be "wrong")... that my belief is incorrect. That there is a god, and that he truly wants to save my soul. Please answer me this question... Why am I going to go to hell? Is it because I simply refuse to admit he exists? Because I dont believe? My actions are based on morals that most religious people wouldn't adhere to. Someone must have a good reason why their god would want to punish me for his short comings?

I do it because:
The name of G-d is HOLY, so it is in this mode I choose to omit the vowels....it is a Hebrew practice historically.......
But, just like picking up a penny...."In G-d we Trust" is on it ....."the Name".....so pick it UP! His name is HOLY and should not be walked upon.

You think this is bad? some on here question me about it...........

I am a Messianc Christian and I also call G-d, Yahweh and Jesus, Yeshua.....those are His names too....and they are HOLY....

Some of you self called Christians are judgemental and just too picky! Get a little love in your heart. All that matters is if someone is on their way to Heaven or Hell...we can't even judge that unless they out and out say so....
then we aren't going to change them...we just need to love them....and allow G-d to move in their hearts.
No wonder some on here think we are hypocrites....they see no difference in us than the world around them...SOME are better than us........sad

Genesis 6:13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destory them with the earth."

Okay. I can see how men and women can be corrupt and evil. Natch. It's not too hard to imagine violent children, I suppose. But after that it gets really hard.

Did all the babies deserve to die? Or, for that matter, the unborn? Noah isn't asked to save so much as one of them.

I don't understand how this can be interpreted as a sort of Divine Justice. Seriously. Nobody else is left alive to teach lessons to. And no effort is even attempted to save those who could not possibly have been part of the problem. Help?
