Should I stop listening to my mp3 player when I'm at meetings?
I never seem to miss anything... just watching people is more fun than listening to them!

Do you believe these fields can be seen and if so, can you tell anything about the person's personality/wellbeing? Or can it just be felt in a kind of 'vibey' way? Do you think that positive and negative energy is exchanged through 'auras' and this is why moods can effect others around you?

Let me set some things straight from my last post. I do not think that all cristians are stupid and ignorant. There are smart christians. And a lot (I'd like to say most) of christians believe in love. But there are a lot of christians, i call them the 'Turn or Burn!' christians, who believe that they are better than everybody and that they are always right. These are the christians i was refering to, the ones with the "God Hates Fags" slogan. I would like to say that these people are a minority among christians, but i'm not so sure, especially after reading some of the comments on my last post. I was wondering what the average christian thinks of these people?

Is it not true that the Bible recommends I take as many wives as I can support...isn't this a true description of biblical marriage?

How do you see or better what is your perspective on West Balkans and people who live there - or even better- what comes first on your mind when you hear ' The Balkans'?

I have been reading the NT.

How can you be so sure after you belived in Jesus Christ and that you are legible to receive the Spirit of God, which raised Jesus from the dead, that you have it in you, really? What does it mean by "Waking in the Spirit" and not of the Flesh in midst of tribulations?

As well as praying in the "Spirit", and not just any prayer.

(And to quote: "he who endure to the end will be saved"."

anyone who has understanding..thanks.

What could possibly interest these "intellectuals" here?

If they truly have no basis of belief in anything other than themselves (There IS no middle ground, don't you know!) why are they here?

Just curious .......

I'm an athiest, but it bugs me when christians act like their religion is so much better than everybody else's. It really bugs me when ignorant rednecks say things about hating Islam, even though they know nothing about it. Hate terrorists, not muslims! Especially because Islam and Christianity are a lot alike. It's all just fairy tales anyway.

Human sexuality unnaturally adapted to suit scripture...

Pretty much as wolfgame30 says ...it doesnt matter what kind of kink or fetish you may bring up whether it be abstinence fetish, fetish with animals, pedophilia, etc etc etc. All these tend to cause harm in someway, isn't scriptosexuality being just another of these strange fetishes potentially harmful?

As a Christian, I do not feel they are right in making such claims. If such claims were true, every Christian would be living as those people, comfortable. Comments!

How many of you "Christians" out there have actually read the Bible all the way through at least once? I know there are a few of you out there, but many of the answers given by self-proclaimed "Christians" on this forum make it clear that there is a serious lack of biblical knowledge and belief among the so-called "children of God."
Many of you who talk about love, peace, and good will at the same time say that truth is relative, God is sometimes wrong, and don't "shove" your beliefs down other people's throat. Read the Bible folks! Luke 14:23 - "…go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come, that my house may be filled." The God of the Bible is the God of truth: Deuteronomy 32:4 - "He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of TRUTH and without iniquity, just and right is he." When you deny the perfect truth you deny Jesus Christ, who is the "…way, the TRUTH, and the life…"
It may take some actual effort of study on your part to determine what is the most accurate English translation of the Bible, unless of course you think God is too weak to be able to preserve His Word for all generations. Psalm 100:5 - "For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." You need to decide what you are and then BE what you claim to be instead of mixing philosophy, tradition, and the rudiments of the world with the Bible!
If you don't believe that the Bible is the perfectly preserved Word of God then STOP calling yourself a Christian and go start your own religion, write your own book, and create your own doctrine, but leave biblical Christianity out of it! There are too many "tares" out there calling themselves Christians who do not have a clue about the Bible and yet get on a forum like this and spout off about "fundies" and "not judging others" and "having an open mind!" Jesus had a very "closed" mind when He said "no man cometh unto the Father but by me!"
The problem is that you do not have enough spiritual fortitude to stand up for truth and deal with the persecution because you are not sure about what you REALLY believe, but you want to sound "nice," and "tolerant," and "spiritual." Jesus never tolerated lies and hypocrisy, He rebuked it!
And by the way, this IS what forums are for, trying to push (preach) your views, whatever they may be on others. Stop being so silly! Get a grip! Meek does not mean weak! Stand up for the TRUTH! Jesus did, the Apostles did, and many brave Christians throughout history did!

Revelation 3:19 - As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
