Society & Culture - 10 August 2006

I remember hearing a story about a class at a theology school. The class was going to give a sermon to the rest of the school, and was on it's way to do so, but they had to cross the entire campus. On the way to the campus, they had to step over some of the faculty pretending to be homeless people, and they never even said a word to them while the "homeless" asked for money. The worst part is, the class was going to give a sermon on the "The Good Samaritan." - Now, before you bash the horrible people in the hypocritical theologian class, you have to compare yourself to this group of people. I know of people who could preach all day about how high-school kids need to stop dating, but could turn around and flirt with a cute girl with a smile. Christians have to realize what a detriment to the Kingdom of God they can be, when they act out as if they never knew God."If you truely loved Him, you would paint Him better." - Leo Tolstoy. This isn't really a question, but I'd like responses!

born with life threatening diseases that can't be treated? why are many many children diagnosed with heart disease, leukemia, types of cancers, brain damage etc.? I have wondered this for many years and I have never quit figured it out? I've talked to my preacher before and he couldn't give me a good enough explanation. why does God let these horrible things happen to innocent children? why are babies born and then they die because of an illness? they didn't even get a chance at life!!! that's just one of the unresolved questions I have about God. what do you think? I don't understand. I was born with heart disease and all my life I've been trying to figure out why people like me have to suffer with life threatening diseases like this when God is in control. I'm still Christian!!

according to the bible lucifer fought god on the plains of heaven and then was cast out and sent to hell where he became known as satan satans objective is to wage war on heaven so why would satan torture humans in hell if he's got a war to plan? or maybe as hell is a 'lake of fire' satan doesn't have to do anything to inflict pain i think many people define hell as absence of God

Romans 10: 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; 3 for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

would you change anything about yourself? Your life? I am not an atheist and I don't subscribe to condeming those whose beliefs are different from my own, so this is not an attack on atheist. I am just curious what the response would be from non-believers if God's existance was somehow prooved to them. I have to admit that my belief in God does affect my behavior and how I conduct myself.

Thanks to all that respond!

We know that Yahoo! answers has different language sections (English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, etc) but I thought maybe there should be a section for all the people who use 'teen text' because I find it often unintelligible. Since they're too stupid or lazy to use the spell checker, at least by having their own language section they will not be wasting the time of those of us who are at least reasonably literate in the English language. I know I'm not a perfect speller myself, that's why I use the spell checker so people who read my questions will be able to UNDERSTAND them!

Daniel 2:44 " And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;"

My friend cheats on his wife and brags about it constantly as if I'm supposed to be proud of him. I like his wife very much and hate to see my friend make her look like a fool. I'd like to tell her but, on the other hand, I don't want to ruin my friend's "relationship" because he's a good guy (other than this). What should I do?

ok i'm from maine and all my life i've heard/said "jeezum crow" or "jeezum" instead of jesus or jesus christ (ex: "Jeezum crow!! look at that!!" or "Jeezum crow lucy!!! what are you doing!?") and then i was talking to my friend who moved here from boston almost a year ago and when i said that he had no idea what i was talking about.

he said he has never heard anybody not from maine say "jeezum" and he had never heard "jeezum crow" ever, but then he heard an old guy say the other day and he freaked out because he thought i was kidding. lol.

so i've been wondering if you've ever heard of jeezum or jeezum crow.



thanks. ^_^

When we die, will we be judged by our belief or by our acts during our lives? I have a hard time believing that someone could believe in God but live a sinful life and still have a better chance of getting into Heaven than someone who lived a life based on Christ's teachings, but didn't necessarily believe.

You know he was reading a lot of texts & manuscripts...he can't talk about it...won't talk about it...& all he can say is that evil is real. Would you assume from that that there is indeed more of a cover-up than what we think?

Once a false prophet has been identified and it is easy to show his followers why their prophet is not really a prophet, will they go to hell for being too stubborn admit their prophet is a fake? One so-called prophet says "there is no compulsion in religion" but the penalty for leaving his religion is DEATH. What kind of a prophet would threaten to have someone killed if they don't follow him?
