Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Why would Jesus say this prior to being crucified? It doesn't have any meaning at that point until he does get crucified correct?

Why is it that Modern Christians celebrate a Holiday that was condemned by the Early Christians? Jesus could not have been born on the 25th as it would go agaist Luke 2:8. Also Christmas was evolved from Pagan Holidays (saturnalia and others). Knowing this, how is it right to teach kids false stories? How can Christians be trusted if their MAIN holiday revolves around lies?

Killing yourself?

Blowing people up?

This is not rational behavior, is it?

When we answer them, isn't it like throwing pearls to swine? I am not talking about serious questions. But there are a lot of stupid questions where I can almost imagine some young kid sitting back sucking on a joint and laughing at all the responses.

I feel the closest to my Savior when I have received Him in the Sacrifice of the Altar or when I am at Eucharistic Adoration. I never leave either feeling empty or alone. Regardless of your religious beliefs or lack of them when do YOU feel most spiritual?No wrong answers I am actually curious.

As far as I'm aware, the gospels were all written after the lifetime of Christ (and some significantly after). None of the historians of the day such as Pliny the Elder, mention Jesus in their writings and there are no Roman records of the trial of Jesus.

Can anyone explain this?

This stems off the previous question asked about where the parents are. What is your position on spanking a child? Not advocating child abuse in any way. A child should never be disciplined physically to an extent that it causes physical damage to the child. According to the Bible, though, the appropriate and restrained physical discipline of children is a good thing, and contribute to the well-being and correct upbringing of the child. God's discipline is loving, as should it be between parent and child. Spanking should never be used to cause lasting physical harm or pain, but a quick swat (on the bottom where there is the most padding) to teach the child that what he did was wrong is acceptable. Never should it be used to vent our anger and frustrations, or be uncontrolled. What are your thoughts on this subject?

My husband's Grandfather is very ill and is not expected to make it through the day. The family told everyone to just go about their day as usual they'd keep us posted. Well, I get to work and tell the only other person that works in my office what was going on. She said that if anything happened she'd cover for me, but that she had to make a quick run maybe 15 minutes. Well she just called me and said that's she was actually going somewhere over an hour away, but to call her if anything happened. Do I have the right to be upset with her or am I just letting my emotions take over?

One day you will wake-up and realize just what a horror story the Bible really is-I read in Revelations that John saw all kind of creatures around the table of God-and this god of yours has what can only be described as monsters-I mean God the creator of all is surrounded by Horses with lions heads and lambs with fire in its eyes and fire breathing angels-Sounds like a Monster to me a nd you want me to get down on my knees before this thing and pray? So I don't Burn in Hell-from an entity that created hell-and Jesus will be sitting on this things right side surrounded by all these creatures with lotsa heads and eyes and wings-Man I can't wait to see the movie even if it is from the Front Row-and I hope he don't get too mad when I throw a tomato at the Director for such a bad show-and demand my soul back it that is the price of admission-I WANT A REFUND!

Our local "Whole Foods" market is refusing to carry live lobsters, as they claim it is inhumane. However, they are a huge contributor to Planned Parenthood. So, does this mean they value the life of a lobster over an unborn child? (just so you know, I am a pro-choice republican...just thought this was a good question, because I like lobster)

Consider that the earth hosts numerous Christian and pseudo-Christian denominations, most of which are all trying to convert each other to their own versions of Christianity, and then we have Muslims who are threatening to kill all of us who won't convert to Islam. Also, there are thousands of other religions that range from the bizarre to the sublime. How could anyone explain any of this mess to our space alien?

I always have the feeling people interpret the Bible in another way than i do.

The story of Sodom for example:

Sodom was destroyed because its people didn't take God seriously about caring for the poor, the hungry, the homeless, or the outcast.

Ezekiel 16:48-49: "This is the sin of Sodom; she and her suburbs had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not help or encourage the poor and needy. They were arrogant and this was abominable in God's eyes."

In those days it was common for soldiers, thieves, and bullies to rape a fallen enemy. This act of raping an enemy is about power and revenge, not about homosexuality.

The sexual act that occurs in the story of Sodom is a gang rape -- and homosexuals oppose gang rape as much as anyone.

Please don't condemn homosexuality with the other 5 bible-verses in your answers. I know them, i don't agree with them either. In this question i'm purely interested in why Christians assume Sodom was destroyed caused by gays.
