If we knew an irreversible catastrophic change in earths environment was certain to happen in the future and that Humankind had ONLY two choices. Choice number one being we as humans do nothing, accept our fate and allow our species to perish forever OR the second choice, alter the genetics of humans to adapt to the new environment and guarantee the survival of humans? What is your answer?

I discovered the series about four years ago through one of my book clubs. They make interesting fantasy reading if you like stories about vampire hunters, etc.

Hey Atheists,Muslims, Popist Catholics,Non-Methodist psedo-Christians --are you sure that you are saved if you die today? No you are not--because Atheists, Popists and Non-Methods believe in Anti-Christ
--they are not sure of Salvation. Muslims are not assured salvation--
they think their good work and prayer MIGHT get them to heaven.
Only heaven is assured for a martyr.
BUT YOU ARE NOT SURE. That proofes you are wrong.
Only our faith in Lord Jesus' sacrifice paid for our sin. Yes,
only Christians(Methodists) are assured of ETERNAL SALVATION.
why you don't understand that? Don't you read the Bible?

I know this is silly, but I am going on vacation this week and am typically the type to be afraid during it do to homesickness and other reasons. I really, really want my family to have a good time though and don't want to ruin it for them because of my selfishness so if someone out there can pray for my family and I to have a good and worry-free time, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I had an appointment with my doctor on friday for some back pain that I was having. I assumed it was my bones or just my age in general. He ran a few tests on me and told me Monday morning that my pains were a result of cancer; specifically breast cancer.

I know I should have strength through Christ as a Christian, but it has changed my whole outlook on life and I find it more difficult to get up in the morning. My husband and I celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in a few years and I know that after this I might not make it to see that day. I pray to God that I do, but I don't know His plan for my life. Maybe 50th anniversarys aren't in His plan.

I'm aware this isn't the health section, but I was hoping some of the Christians in here would pray for me and pray that God would grant me the strength to get through this.

Are there any Christian support groups? How do I find out if there are groups in my area?

God Bless you all!

My cat doesn't get emerged in water ... dogs sometimes do, but it's not necessary ... monkies (who we evolved from) don't need a SHOWER ... so why is it we human's get to smell funky after a day or so?

I'm looking at my life now, and traditional religion isnt working for me. My life is a wreck, and it seems that all of these general suggestions of "Trust in God....", "Everything is in his hands.....", "Everything happens for a reason....." doesnt hold a lot of weight for the answers that I need in life.

Scientology seems to have a philosophical viewpoint on building up your self esteem and seems to actually focus on "Manufacturing" individuals who live better lives.

I'm uncertain about steering away from God and his ways, but it seems that this organization has the answers that I need to pull me out of this depression and dire outlook that I have on life.

I believe that God created us to do 100 times the ammount that we even think is capable of doing and I think that taking a step towards this organization that will help me.

Is it asking too much to not want to "settle" for what will feel like a consolation prize especially if that prize may lie at least in part on co-dependence?
I try to explain that I'm not looking for "perfection", that's usually a pipe dream anyway, it's just that there are things (that I consider to be of the "non-superficial" variety) which I feel would compromise my personal standards and that's something that would make it hard to live with myself and therefore likely hard on the other person as well so I opt for limited or non-involvement with some people (including [if not especially...] some siblings).
So does that make me a bad person???
"I" don't think so, I just think it's my way of weeding the garden that is my life and freeing it from the bonds of an emotional oppression that would stifle, if not suffocate, that part of me that makes me what I am at my core.
It makes no sense to sow seeds of contention but rather to promote the growth of things more spiritual, ya think?
