god has commanded us not to kill. some say that killing, when self defenseive, is justified. nevertheless, christ told us that when somebody slaps us on our cheek we offer our enemy the other, and love them instead of fight them. in fact, the early christians would rather be martyrs than self defensive warriors when face with death in the arenas. moroever, even if killing could be justified when self defensive, collateral killing is inexcusible, and when one commits acts of war, they know that collateral killing will necessarily occur. think: does shooting through a wall into a crowded room make me less a killer because my enemy is among the crowd, and therefore may be among the dead? in act, the bible is clear on the point: god has told us that it is better to let hundreds of the unrightous go unpunished if punishing them meant punishing a single rightous man. should every good christian resist war?

I don't mean to pick on you fundemental Christians out there but I see an awful lot of joy when you think you are right and tell people how they are going to Hell. Is that true Christianity? (Yeah there is a lot of joy in Christian-Bashing as well, but the guys who are doing that are SUPPOSED to be pricks and make no bones about it.)

I mean, why then are some babies born autistic? siamese twins? missing limbs? blind? deaf? etc? I just don't understand that. Furthermore, why do babies die from child beatings? stupid accidents? pedophiles? etc? I don't think I could have praise for someone like that.

My cousin's car caught fire and my cousin's barely made it out with their luggage before the car exploded. Everything in the car was burned very badly . Except for one thing - a copy of the Book Of Mormon. There wasn't even a mark on it ! Can you believe that ! Was this a sign from Our Heavenly Father letting us know that he will always be here ? What does this mean to you ?

Everywhere I look nowadays I see drinking. Now I know its not bad, but I've already kind of made up my mind that I'm not going to drink. I'm not of the drinking age yet anyways, but it seems like everyone in the world drinks, anyone out there who doesn't and is still cool?

If you had sex with someone and they told you later that they were HIV positive-as in, they knew at the time, and exposed you several times before telling you.

...Today I was told by a lot of Christians that they live guilt-free, sinless lives because they know they've got Jesus in their lives. Seems they felt that if you're feeling guilt and doing sin, you're not doing Christianity right.

But I was told by a lot of other Christians that guilt and sin are part of human nature and that even being Christian doesn't stop it. All Christianity buys them is God's forgiveness. They seemed to think that those who felt guilt-less and free of sin were fooling themselves and not doing their Christianity right?

Is this the basic division within Christianity? That one group believes in the power of grace and thus feels guilt-free and sinless, while the other feels that good works must accompany grace, for we are all sinners and guilty of sin?

Can a person get to heaven either way, or is only one of these two options the right way?

And be sorry for that too, that is , if all sin is the same in the eyes of God...
as a matter of fact, if I'm going to be damned, and I 'might' be sorry later on (probably will), what should be my motivation to do anything good at all?
Why shouldn't I go out and screw every guy I meet and have ten abortions! Because if what your saying is true, God sees that as exactly the same as when I shoplifted!
So, I guess that means it's a green light to fornicate and kill like crazy since I curse all the time, why not just be sorry for bigger and multiple offenses!

To those who are "true believers" and not tolerant or mindful of others faiths, what will you do if it was all a mistake? ie, God says at your death, "you were worshiping a cross?? Jesus's DEATH? Oh boy!" or maybe he says "your a hindu? oh boy!"
I worship and pray to every God out there just to be safe.

A few or couple months ago I met this little girl, and a few days to a week after I had a dream about her.In the dream the girl's face was disfigured and she was walkin up my driveway holdin her right arm in her left hand.We'll I later learned that the girl was disabled,she at the time was 9 yrs old and in 2nd grade.She doesnt know how to read,spell or anything.I would like to help her,but I've run into the same problem her parents did;which is she's defiant and rebellous when it comes to learning or doing stuff she doesnt percieve as fun.Also she's physically & mentally underdevepedThe girl oringinally came over my house becuase she likes my cats;so when she comes over I like to see if I cant try and help her when I see her.Other than praying for her,I like her family am at a lost as to how to get her to start focusing and having her learn something useful to her.This year she's starting 3rd grad and still cant read or anything.Any suggestions as how to deal with her?

One does not here much of Joseph and Mary after the child is born but we find Mary by her sons side later in life-What are the last words written regarding Joseph? I mean this kid was born under a star and was given tons of stuff-and at 13 was going to parties that requiered more alcohol than was needed-I am one that believes in Practice what you preach-so perhaps Jesus gave it all away so that he could follow himself-obviously he had the power to never go hungry-he-oh why waste my time! All of todays Christians use Jesus as a way to forgive themselves for the lives the lead which are filled with prejudice (If you are christian YOU R SAVED-if I am not-I am condemed to OUR HELL-is the most prejudiced statement anyone can say because you are saying I should suffer for not believing like you do-like I should be a slave to your beliefs!) There is absolutely none of you that if Jesus came to the world today would give up the luxery of being an American-A Country THAT ESCAPED MONARCHIESgoUSA
