How? It wouldn't be a special right for gays to be able to marry someone of the same sex. Heterosexuals could do it, too.

Nothing special there.

Now, explain how I'm wrong.

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Apparently homosexual behavior occurs natually within the animals species. If this is true, does this means it's a natual thing for humans as well and perhaps not neccesairly a choice? How does this fit in with God's will?

between jewish christians or the orthodox christians?

if they both believe in jesus, why must there be a difference?

and if both the protestants' and catholics' teachings are from the same root, why are there variations in the current teachings?

Does prayer usually work for you? Of course I mean the times you ask for things as opposed to praise God and thank him.

If you have attended a chruch for a long time, lets say 20 years since you were child, and you are going to get married. I heard that you were supposed to pay the preacher for performing the wedding. I thought that was part of his job and that was what the church was paying him to do. I remmeber when we hired him that on the job discription it included weddings and funerals. So why do I have to pay him extra for doing his job? I have given to that church ever since i had a job so I don't see why have pay him more.

Where is a good place and does anyone want to meet there? NOT as a hook up - I just enjoy meeting new people and I talk a lot. It looks weird when I sit there and eat and talk alone!

many times people who come from another place to live in my city, complain about my city being "so boring", "there's nothing to do here". They want clubs, and stuff, and one of my co-workers said the band scene here was nothing... etc etc. Are these outgoing people just not creative. Any town can be fun,it's up to you to make your own fun. You can take up a hobby and any place can be fun. Are these people too dependent on other people bringing fun and excitement to them, instead of them making their own ?

Christians think gays should not be aloud to marry because the bible says it is wrong. The bible also say not to judge. So why not let gays marry and if god has a problem with it let him sort it out in the end? If he desides it is wrong god can make the judgement and send them to hell. Is it really any of your business? If you think it is gross or don't like it, SO WHAT? I don't like my fat old neighbor wearing mini skirts, that doesn't mean I can make it illegal.

From a dear theist friend. Opinions?
"We make His essence dependent on the primitive and cruel writings and traditions of bygone priest-classes with their own agenda. We besmirch His name by insulting the intellectual pursuit of truth in science if it contradicts already contradictory references. When science comes up with a solution that undoes scriptural interpretation, we have to invent yet another metaphor to cover our absurd meanderings, e..g., the days of Genesis, the solar system, etc. In this the doubters are correct, we have reduced Him to be “God of the Gaps.” And each gap that science closes demonstrates our folly.

We are disrespectful of His great gift of discernment, on which our free will depends.

I suggest that God is not defined by our ignorance. He fits gloriously within any future achievement of science – whether in physics or evolutionary science.

To conceive of a discovery that would diminish God, is to have already diminished Him."

I remember him telling us to forgive it, but not to hate it. Am I wrong here?
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (yes in the King James version), Paul offers a list of sins that would keep a person out of Heaven. Among those listed are theft, homosexuality, and adultery. However, it seems that only thieves and homosexuals are condemned out of the three. In Luke 16:18, Christ defined a man or woman who has divorced and remarried as also being an adulterer. So shouldn't remarried people be condemned as well? Why on Earth are the thieves and homosexuals, out of the three, the only ones that get picked on by fundamentalists? I thought people were not allowed to pick and choose what to follow out of the Bible.

I think that "Worry" for me has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks to faith and spirituality.It does not accomplish anything positive. It does not help it only hinders. All I can do is the best I can and then leave the rest to my Creator God. How do you feel about "Worry" and have you laid it to rest. I have and I try to keep it there.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

for Jewish Muslims and all that reject the truth that he came to die in our place and give us amazing grace come into our heart and be our best friend-why not believe him- and Isaiah- chapters 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 in it it says -He will be despised and rejected and lay down his life to forgive our sins and be our blood atonement, as the anointed one (Messiah) as promised Isaiah stated "He will be exaulted, but first marred more than any man, and lay down his life an atonement for our sins.
its simple why not believe Him?
the Messiah said "Behold i stand at your heart and knock, if u let me in i will come in deliver from sins and become your friend."
As a true believer -i prayed-"I believe you, come into my heart forgive my sins and become my friend, amen"

I was looking through some websites of 9/11 and I just started to grieve all over again. I thought that I was over what happened but I'm not. I know that it has been a long time but I'm still astonished at how other human beings would intentially hurt one another. I always thought 'what happened happened and there is nothing you can do but move on' I don't understand why we would go back and hurt these people. Yeah they caused us a lot of pain but its not right to go back and hurt them. We should just punish those who did the act not the rest of the people that didn't have anything to do with it. I know that this is a touchy subject but I don't want other people to feel what I feel if they didn't do anything. All the children dying over there didn't deserve to die. All of our soldiers over there don't dserve to be there. I just can not believe what we have become.

Not because I can be vindictive (because I know I can) not because I can vent my rage (Because you know I do) and not because I have a genius mind (of course that is my opinion of myself based on the capacity for intelligence I have seen delivered on these pages and the ration of those that truely use this resource as a motivator vs POINT WHORES-U R welcome 4 the 3 points the two you collected and the one you allowed me to make;-)) but because I was not brought up religiously and so I never had the benefit of what churches provided for their communities-rather I was a military brat and travled much of the northern hemisphere and came to find that I was prejudiced. I absolutely despies prejudiced people-I love the diversity of the world and Hope that one day when we all realize that this world is only as great as we make it that we as mankind will be able to leave our mark in History as being the Generation that was able to put our differences aside-agree not to disagree-and find LOVE!
