I want to know if I am wrong about something. My mother read in the bible that all women should be silenced and that they should listen to their men. Since she read that she has been letting her husband abuse her because she thinks that she is supposed to. I told her that women have equal rights the same as men do. I was wondering if I am wrong for getting upset at her for following that phrase in the bible even though she is losing all of her self-respect. Any advice would be appreciated.

1. - Love god, and follow the commandments - Luke 10:25-28

2. - Sell everything and become a disciple - Luke 18:18-22

3. - Hate your whole family - Luke 14:26-33

(How do you honour father and mother, and hate them too?)

4. - Eat Jesus Flesh and drink his blood - John 6:53-54

5. - Change and become little children - Matthew 18:2-3

6. - Be born again (and a bunch of weird stuff about "where does the wind come from? duh) - John 3:3-8

7. - "Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven" - Matthew 5:17-20
-Have you followed the Mitzvot, the 613 laws of old testament?

8. - Believe in Jesus - John 3:16

As you see, John 3:16 just isn't enough. You must fullfill all 8 obligations. If you don't, why did jesus mention them?

Especially the Mitzvot. Have you had your shellfish today?

These passages are NOT out of context. How can anyone possibly justify the incongruent ramblings of jesus?

"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ."

Is it still applicable today?

Please, no flamewars - be respectful, regardless of which camp you're in.

A long time ago in CCD class we learned this certain set of rules, I think there were 7 or 9 of them-- some of them were:

Feed the poor
Clothe the needy
Care for the sick
Visit the imprisoned

...does anyone know where in the Bible this set of instructions is found?

I am reading this story about a woman, right now I am not going to reveal the conflict of the story because I am going to make a question about that topic in the future when I finish reading the book.

In her childhood she was put in a boarding school were she was beaten and punished by the Sisters(nuns). When she once asked to the school matron if she truly believed in God, instead of answering the question, she was slapped in the face. She told the girl to get on her knees and pray for forgiveness for asking that question and she felt she was doomed to hell because she questioned the existence of God. She grew up feeling like if God was a vengeful monster that would come as a thief in the night and would take the righteous with him and burn the wicked. She started to distance herself from God.

This is the beginning of the story so I still don't know if her opinion of God changed. I sometimes wonder if the people who have a lot a hate toward God were put in this environment

what are the chances that our galaxy could come into being without one species just dying because of bad genetics, without one plant dying because the way it was created, without one BACTERIA just dying for no reason, what are the chances that our whole world was created without one thing wrong with it?"

As a Christian, I sometimes have a difficult time understanding the wording in the Bible. For that reason, I go to my father for traslation. He has studied the Bible himself, with others, and has listened to the opinions of other Christians who have studied it, for over 15 yrs. This is the answer he gave me, which I believe. "When Jesus returns he will come as low as the clouds. With him he will bring the souls of the Christians who have died. At this time their bodies will rise up from the grave and join their souls in 'the twinking of an eye'. Some Christians believe that Jesus will gather up the church at that time (take all the still living Christians) and others believe they will remain for awhile longer still trying to spread the word of God to the unsaved. All those left, Athiests, Satenists, and non-Christians, will remain for the 7 years of tribulation. At the end of the 7 yrs, Jesus will return all the way to the earth and wage a war against Satin.This is Arrmagedon.

he doesn't have a job, hangs out with a posse of ruffians, believes in love, would NOT support a war for power and profit - yes, He would see through the BS spewed by the warmongers unlike the most of you sheep who would see though it as well if you paid any attention to facts, would question the justice of our current economic system, and would clothe the naked and feed the hungry because what you do to the least among you, you do unto Him. I don't think you'd crucify him, but you would ignore him. You'd approve sending him to Guantanamo if people began to follow in his steps.

If you were outside or at a shopping area, and saw someone, such as a parent or guardian, abuse their child, then would you 'actually' report it (to someone)?

i downloaded a video and it showed to much information about it being conspiracy. It gave me of course goose bumps remembering that inisent people died.The video showed explosions in the tower as it began to collapse. It showed videos of unkown streaks in the sky. It was so cool looking at it and i was searching for more videos of it and found a whole bunch of pictures, videos and reports.I saw another video showing an old picture with the virgen and 2 towers in the background burning up. This other one showed a mark on the grass 3 days before the plane hit the pentogon and saying that the president was in some sort of club i dont remember. But i do remember it saying without no good theres no evil right. Could this all be a coinsidence or did evil itself do this to the world. I just know that theres something not right with all this . I fell like we're being experimented on. And being watched. This has made me think could the world come to end with a natural disaster or war between us
