Question for Christians:

What I am going to say right now is not realistic, but it could be a possibility.

Imagine that suddenly Christianity gets banned in your country. All the Churches are closed. No one is allowed to preach, nor talk about God in public.

Think about it as a communist country where the government forces you to do what they want. Democracy is completely gone. There is no freedom of speech.

How do you imagine your country and the World to be?

Literal fire or Figurative Fire?
Sodom was punished with "eternal fire" (Jude v. 7) it was totally destroyed due to the wickedness of the inhabitants. Today that city is in ruins, submerged beneath the waters of the Dead Sea; in no way is it now on fire. Likewise Jerusalem was threatened with the eternal fire of God's anger, due to the sins of Israel: "Then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched" (Jer. 17:27). The great houses of Jerusalem were burnt down with fire (2 Kings 25:9), but that fire did not continue eternally.
Therefor is the fire literal or figurative?

Where does the phrase "living high on the hog" come from. I have heard it my whole life but never given it much thought. But now I've thought about it... anyone know?

I recently moved into an old house with my family. When I first moved in I met a man who lived in the neighborhood. I came back from work early and saw this man running through my backyard. I asked my wife and she was all disheveled, she said she saw him too. She then told me that this man had died recently and must be haunting our new home! I have seen him several more times, once in my bedroom while my wife was sleeping and for a few days he was in the basement. My wife told me to stay upstairs so she could hold a seance to get rid of him, but came back in a few hours looking exhausted, saying it didn't work. I also once saw him in the grocery store at the checkout! Are there any ghost experts out there who can help me, I want to move but my wife refuses too. She says I should just ignore the ghost! Is there any way to get rid of a spectral being!?!? Please help.

I know it's US slang. Has this americanism taken root in Britain. If so, is it likely to become another addition to the Oxford English Dictionary?

1. Most Christians didn't decide to become a Christian. They were born into it

2. People usually dont question their culture(belief in god) but they will question their belief.(does ghost exist)

3. If the belief in God is really a belief, you wouldn't have a problem questioning it withour being bias. It must be a culture because you refuse to let it go no matter how sick it sounds

According to those who claim Jesus condoned military service, why didn't the early Christians fight rather than allow themselves and their wives and daughters be thrown to the lions?

And for those who don't know, early Christians were required to make religious sacrifice to Caesar. If they refused they were to be thrown to the lions. They didn't sacrifice and they didn't fight back. According to some of you, Jesus condoned self-defense. How is it you believe this but the earliest Christians didn't?

and that He loves both of us equally, yet hold an unswerving belief that the Bible is the infallible Word of God? I've read both old and new testaments numerous times and women received punishment when they commit adultry etc. more often than men. In addition to this King David, hailed to be the greatest king in Biblical history had hundreds of wives as well as concubines! Why wasn't any conviction or punisnment for this documented.? In addition Solomon who had an even greater number of women wrote approximately 1/3 of the book of Proverbs on wayward and adulterous *women*! Why should a woman believe that the Bible was written by God and not chauvanistic men? PS: I was a devout Christian for 12 years and I am *very* familiar with the Bible....
