I read this weekend about how the word repentance comes from a greek word which meant a new mind or a change of mind or heart.

How does this fit with your understanding of repentance?

to be cleansed?

I argue the assumption that:
God is Merciful. (He will not reject good people who believe in Him)
God is Just. (One cannot enter uncleansed into the presence of God)

Fundamentalists: I argue that whatever verse you are about to give me has an interpretation that does not include condemnation, and I insist you use that interpretation, I do.

Believing could never be the only way what about sacrificing one's own life to save another or fighting a war to protect those you dont even know how about unconditional love since I love someone and nothing could possibly change that not even if she would take my life. I am fighting a war soley to protect one person to die for her holds no pain nor do I fear any torture or death itself. I am an american soldier NOT a terrorist jus so you know. There are other ways of getting to heaven, or whatever you may call it.

I have heard of banishment and I have read about protection against her but is there no way to turn her evil back on her? That way I am not instigating the bad vibe I am merely returning what is hers.... Get it?

I've thought of myself as bisexual for about a year now, but the idea of actually being in a relationship with another man kind of grosses me out, no offense to gays. But I do have a crush on the actor Paul Bettany. but the idea of making out/sex/kissing another man is gross to me. what does this mean?

I've just been given some but vaguely remember that it was supposed to be unlucky to have them in the house, it's supposed to auger a death in the house if my memory isn't faulty but I also vaguely remember that they are supposed to represent purity and pride. I don't remember why these things are supposed to be so or where the superstitions come from but as my partner is seriously ill I would like to find out in a hurry - I don't relish the thought of his family thinking I'd hastened his end by accepting such a lovely gift!

When I say reform, I hope to invoke to the idea of the transition of the Catholic Church from the brutal military power it once was into the relatively benign organization it is today, I am NOT suggesting something like Islams frationing into smaller sects,(Though Protestant faith are valid as well). This question is motivated by the apparent militancy Islam has unfortunately exhibited since it's inception.

I wish there was some way to actually do a poll, but this is the best I can do.

Please post the number corresponding to what you believe:

1 - Evolution: life came about when proteins came together to form a living organism and all creatures evolved from this - no "greater power" involved

2 - Evolutionary Creationism - that a greater being (god) created life on earth and gave that life the ability to adapt and evolve in order for it to continuously improve

3 - Creationism - All humans come frrom Adam and Eve

4 - None of the above

I pick - 2

This is an answer to one of my previous questions. Is it the rantings of a lunatic, or is this an actual feeling of the majority of religious persons, in your opinion:


you already said your "unintelligent" thing, and i said your question was "unintelligent" remeber.
Rember m-a-p-s. Like the question before. the BIBLE has been proven so many times. The whole reason you can do this, is America was created under God. All the forefathers believed in Jesus, that's why the 10 commandments are everywhere in court houses and all the old towns. America was created Under GOD. That's why we are the most blessed country in the world. we have more freedoms than anybody. If you dont like this FACT, you can get out of America, and somewhere else
