After his 'resurection', while in his resurected body,he apparently ate food.
Acts 1: 4 "On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command"
My question...... after Jesus supposedly ascended, did he have to go to the toilet?
If not, what happened to his food?
How do christians deal with this problem(besides ignore it)
AC 1:9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight
Was there a toilet in the cloud?
I am interested to see the many different types of answers christians have for this one.

Most other religions do not bug you because maybe they are ashamed. But Cristians are told in the bible to spread the news so that no one may parish.

Lets just say that of the knowledge contained throughout the world is equaled to 100%. You, if you are smart, might know a wopping 1%. Is it possible you maybe wrong about God, and blind sighted by earthly things ( like said in the Bible ). So we talk to people to make sure that they feel strongly secure about life after death.

I agree that their is no need to press the issue. Because all that happens is, people to curse God, And people getting sick of what they do wrong being thrown in thier faces.

Christians, I was one of those people once. I hated my grandma, i hated her very presents. Once i got time away, i found what i wanted to know myself. Some people don't want to be hounded.
All you can do after you tall them once is pray for them.
Ever heard Petra seen and not heard.

It is me who experienced many miracles while i recited some specific verses in Holy Quran.

1)Once my car was stolen and there was no hope to find it back but I put my trust in God(Allah) and started rectiting some specific verses from Holy Quran for three days and the third day I retrieved back my stolen car.

2) I am only graduated and there was no hope to get any good job but again i put my trust in God(Allah) and started reciting some specific verses and found a very good job worth Rupees 20,000/-per month.

3)Then there i wan not able to find a very good proposal for marriage and i all my hopes were diminishing when i started reciting some more specific verses from Holy Quran for consecutive ten days and just when i was about to finish the specific surrah my mother knocked the door and said to me congratulations there is a proposal from my cousin side and they have agreed for marriage and i was shocked.

MIracles over miracles and all I got from Holy Quran.

I am amazed at the number of people who claim to have no belief in anything or who are anti any faith and leave negitive or unhelpful answers in this category.

I am genuinely asking - why bother if you are not really interested? What makes you spend time in a category that doesn't interest you?

Before you answer though, have a couple of minutes thought - is it that you are genuinely intrigued, perhaps something deep inside makes you curious? If this is the case do you think it could be, as Jesus said at Matthew 5:3 'Happy are those conscious of the spiritrual need', i.e. we have been created with a need to worship.

What do you honestly think/feel?

Okay i am not religious , but i have read lots of answers from people saying that we should do EVERYTHING he told us we should. Okay our society (for the most part) treats woman as equals- not what it says in the bible, That the Bible was written years AFTER jesus' death- by people that had not even met him, That the bible was changed when it was translated into more common languages in the western world. So i am curious how can you spend a life time basing your life on a book that is well fiction, and biased against woman and homosexuals among others.It may once have contained a good idea or even some nice words from jesus christ but it has been used as church propaganda

I'm wanting to take this guy (whom i like a lot) on a date, which is something i've never done for anyone...ever. It usually works the other way around with me so i'm not an experienced date planner. I mean, i know what i like...but as for him I'm not entirely sure. I live in St. Louis...I'm 20...he's 30...i'm in college...he works...and on top of all this he's fantastic. Great personality, attitude, disposition, very fun to be around, and as an added bonus he's absolutley gorgeous. Sorry...i'll stop. Anyway, I don't have an unlimited amount of money to spend, but at the same time it isn't an issue when it comes to him because i want it to be as perfect as i can get it....anyone care to help? please?

ALL CHRISTIANS: do YOU want to hear the BLASPEHMY of our GOD'S name ON TV/RADIO AND MEDIA?
Isn't it funny how everybody always uses our saviour's name when they want to 'express' themselves? Why say 'Jesus Christ' when something happens on tv/radio/media and from our fellow brothers and sisters? Should we tolerate this any longer or should we start confronting the culprits?

Why not use "buddah" or "mohhamed''? (no offense!)

(Yes, yes, I know God will deal with them but why allow them?)

My favorite Chinese actress was born as Wang TsuHsien in Taiwan and is called Wong JyoYin in Hong Kong.(This shows differences between Mandarin and Cantonese.) My favorite Japanese actresses are TakeDa KuMiKo and KoMatsu MiYuki. What are the meanings of the names of these three lovely ladies?

Ok so some say that a certain part of the bible explains the way the world will come to an end. Supposedly the end times will be Jews and Christians fighting side by side something like that. Some say theres a bright light (god) and it was all over. Again other theorist say this bright light is the future equivalent of nuclear war.

Not to sound spooky or anything but I have my own theories. Just curious to see what other people think.

In 1948, Israel was recognized as a sovereign state, and this, too, has ramifications for the student of scripture. God promised Abram that his posterity would have Canaan as “an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8), and Ezekiel prophesied a physical and spiritual resuscitation of Israel (Ezekiel 37). Having Israel as a nation in its own land is important in light of end-time prophecy, because of Israel’s prominence in eschatology (Daniel 10:14; 11:41; Revelation 11:8).

That sounds weird, but listen. I know there are women who practice Christianity--that's not what I mean, I already know that. But you know, God is male, Jesus is male, most every character is male expect for like Mary and Eve and very few others. Now, I don't want a list of female Bible characters, PLEASE, but why so masculine? Why not a goddess as well? Wiccans, don't tell me about your religion because that's what I practice myself but seriously... God, Jesus, Joseph, Moses, everybody is almost always a guy! And most of you are anti-choice. I'm not saying Christians are sexist, just tell me why. And I'd like to hear alot of the answers from Christians themselves, no sect is particular.
