Whether you believe in God or Mother Nature or the Great Spirit or Oneness, etc, most people believe that the universe gives you signs as to which direction to go, and which choices to make. To make it simple, I'll put it in Christian terms, but you can replace God and Devil with whatever you believe in, ok? Don't nitpick on that, focus on the question at hand, mmmk?

If you see 20 bucks on the street, is that God giving you a sign to pick it up, or is the Devil tempting you to take money that's not rightfully yours?

This question is NOT about 20 bucks. It's not about finding money on the street. Do NOT answer that question. The only question I want answered is: How are we to tell the difference between a "sign" and a "test"?

This might sound like a dumb question, but I live in Australia where there seems to be some disagreement about the pronunciation of this word. I always thought it was pronounced tahhhhco or tarco but some think it's pronouned the tacko. Please solve this puzzle for me!

I'm new to Christianity, so I've been using Yahoo Answers to answer my religious questions. I hope you don't take them into offense in anyway.

The Bible wasn't written by God directly, right?
So why do people say it is God's word?
From what I've read, yes, it does have things that God directly said, but how in the world can this be a basis of religion?

Why do people go by this?
Indeed, it does have wonderful advice and wisdom,
but does that mean that a person can attribute all of it to one figure in religion? (peoples contributing to one figure)

In what ways can this be plausible?
From what I've learned in history, the Catholic faith has gone through much corruption through wielding so much power in ealier times, so why is this book not considered thought up of while in that corruption? I know that the Catholic faith wasn't the first church, but it was the most influential

So what I'm asking is why is the Bible the word of God and wouldn't the corruption deal with it?

someone i love is falling really bad...and he thinks smoking weed, hooking up with girls, and drinking will make things better. i told him it doesnt, but he says,"Yeah for that moment it does." He use to be a strong christian, now hes really bad...Curses really bad...into wordly things. I care for him a lot, but...

He came to me today, saying he hates his life cause the girl hes with cheated on him many times...and hooks up with guys. and i told him hes going to find a girl who will do that.

He also said his life is so bad, friends turn on him, and that he needs to get high and drunk.

I have a strong boyfriend now, and when he calls, he keeps hinting, he needs me singing songs that say,"I keep coming back to you, cause i need you." and just saying stuff bout love. and getting upset that i have a bouyfriend.

What do i say as a christian to him to make him realize Choosing the road to Jesus is the best...and what do i say to him the consequences of what hes doing?

39. While he was standing in prayer in the chamber, the angels called unto him: "(Allah) doth give thee glad tidings of Yahya, witnessing the truth of a Word from Allah, and (be besides) noble, chaste, and a prophet,- of the (goodly) company of the righteous."

41. He said: "O my Lord! Give me a Sign!" "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three days but with signals. Then celebrate the praises of thy Lord again and again, and glorify Him in the evening and in the morning."

42. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.

43. "O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down."

44. This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger.) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point).

45. Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.

46. "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."

47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

48. "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,

49. "And (appoint him) an apostle to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah.s leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah.s leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;

50. "'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.

51. "'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'"

52. When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah." Said the disciples: "We are Allah.s helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.

53. "Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger. then write us down among those who bear witness."

54. And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

55. Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.

56. "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

57. "As to those who believe and work righteousness, Allah will pay them (in full) their reward; but Allah loveth not those who do wrong."

58. "This is what we rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."

59. The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

Why should I even care, why should we as Christians even bother with a society bent on its own destruction, why should we bother with people who would rather see us and our philosophy and way of life disolved? Why should we care about people who through direct action or inaction show us on a daily basis that we do not matter to them?

what will muslims choose?

I have been researching, reading up on, and talking to people about wicca. Since I was little, I have had doubts about my faith, and after googleing The Craft, Wicca came up as a key subject. I have been researching it for a good two years. I think after all the researching, reading until my eyes bled, That I have finally found a belief system that is right for me. I believe whole heartedly, and it explains my infatuation with help perserving the natural woods, plains and oceans. If some one would like to get to know me and/or mentor me, please feel free to email me, or if someone knows a good website to help me find a mentor, I would like that too. Thank You!!!!
