Curious as to if Christians keep the Sabbath Day holy how do they keep it holy?

What would you suggest? No tv, internet, just visiting and basking in the Lord or what?

I knew of a mormon that every Sunday he wouldn't watch any tv, no internet, no shopping, all he did was go to church and visit other people. He would go to an extreme to not talk about such deep topics like sex.

When you are talking about people with Spanish names, do you pronounce the names like they would be said in Spanish, or do you Anglocize them. For example, do you roll the r's in Spanisah names, or do you pronouce the vowel sounds in a more Spanish like way.

It is going to happen the way it is going to happen. Isn't the more important focus on living the Christian life in accordance with Jesus teaching? Why are the in-depth focus on last things.. most buid on straw man theories anyways

Why do people think Muslims would want to have anything to do with America if it wasn't our involvement with Israel? Think they would give a rat's *** if we weren't buddy buddy's with Israel?

I am a 100% gay man. I find it hard to accept someone being bisexual in reguard to a relationship. Especially if it is a monogomos one and not some open, everything goes one, which I don't care for. I mean, if you are in a loving relationship with a certain gender. Doesn't that define your orientation? Please don't judge me too harsh. Those are just my thoughts.

If you don't want to have a child, you can always choose not to have unprotected sex or use birth control, so how is it a violation of choice unless the sex wasn't consensal. But with sterilizaton, you wouldn't be able to have a child even if you tried.

i mean god is some one with higher being and jesus was a man in HUMAN form with human emotions and feeling including flaws.where does it prove that jesus was a god if he was he did not have to come down to earth and get killed in first place he could have just said up there poof and all of our sins would have been gone. the purpose of religion is to stop us from doing bad things but then if jesus already forgave our sins then why do we as christains even do good things because apparently jesus (god) already forgave them.i mean no offense but this sounds just so stupid and greeky.in greek religion gods used to come down to earth in human form.it sounds like a fairy tale that jesus was a god.muslims believe there prophet Mohammed was only a (PROPHET) NOT GOD and jews believe that david and joseph were only (PROPHETS) christanity is the only religion that actually says that there god "CAME" to earth in "HUMAN" form muslims and jews believe in jesus as a prophet but christains....

Would you be forgiving and merciful? Or would you be a fire-and-brimstone God? Would you want people to worship you fervently and ceaselessly try to convert everybody?

Would you demand that your followers strap dynamite to themselves and blow up huge crowds of non-believers?

Would you show yourself?

Would you lie to people and promise that you'd let them into Heaven just to see what kinds of things you could get them to do, then laugh while you threw them into Hell?

Would you pretend to love all people just to get what you wanted from them?

Or would you be fair and treat all people as if they were your children?

I'm super grateful and want to do something but am strapped for cash being a student that works in a caregiving field. Any ideas?
