I love visual arts- colors, textures, shapes AND I love food confectionary - fondant, chocolate, sugar, you name it. I have realized they are my passions and I want some advice on how I can combine them both to make my career.

Seriously, did you get down on you knees and renounce every aspect of your ego, because by the very nature of the ego, it needs a substance to survive, it needs sin to survive. For example Jesus implied that to look at a women with 'lust' was just as good as a sin as the very act (thoughts are deeds), but yet we need an ego to have self confidence? and seperate with the mind right from wrong? We need an ego to survive? but does that not seperate us from God? and make our plee for repentence a uphill climb to which is a never ending climb and contradictory to every breath we breath? I know I've lost a lot of people here, but hopefuly somebody understands? or dare I say it, am I crazy?

If you are a true born-again Christian, and you haven't yet chosen a career path, is it commanded of God that he be allowed to choose one for you? Or are you free to choose your own? And would you be jeopardizing your salvation if God told you to go one way, and you went another?

I am a Catholic and for me this would be the Muslims adherence to their faith regardless of the personal cost, the Orthodox Jewish women's modesty, Buddahists peace and meditation,the Amish for their attempt to live peaceful simple lives and the Jehova's Witness's desire to study and know, and I must add the Naturalists approach to respecting nature, this includes the Native American religions.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

A Catholic friend and I were having lunch today, discussing religion, and neither of us could remember the fate of the souls in Limbo. By the way, souls in Purgatory do go to heaven on Judgment Day, don't they? Thanks for your help.

It seems to me that a lot of atheists and non believers(keep in mind that not all non believers wish to be called atheists) seem to think they are exempt from having to display good moral character. Since they have no fear of going to hell they feel they can do anything they want and nothing could be further from the truth. Whether a person believes in God or not homosexuality still defies the laws of nature, murder, theft, adultery, wreckless, lustful acts of fornication, lying and other immoral acts are all still wrong. Even without believing in God, heaven or hell these acts are all wrong. Being a person of good character and showing love and respect for our neighbor is still something that is mandated whether a person believes in God or not. It is not a free pass to live wrecklessly. Are you with me?

I was watching Breakthrough with Rod Parsley because they were talking about the prophecies of the end so that I could figure out how long till I could go to his church and tell him he was wrong and make him admit he doesn't know what he is talking about.
But his boyfriend was on the show and was talking about one of the signs of the end being the shedding of innocent blood which he said meant abortion. So I have to ask there have been 100 of thousands of innocent people killed in the war in Iraq, the conflict between Israel and Lebanon, terrorists attacks, violence on the streets and so on yet the shedding of innocent blood is abortion so my question is why do Christians only seem to give a damn about fetus life but not about human beings that are born and walking around?

We were estranged (her choice) since April, and it has been a difficult time for me since April, as I loved my wife and still do. Her behaviour had changed noticeably, and with what I know now I suspect the cancer was the cause.

Her family had always hated our marriage (we'd eloped) and so I was not told nor given an opportunity to attend the service. She passed away on the 19th after a brief battle, and I've only learned of it today thanks to her lawyer sending mine a death certificate.

Needless to say I am grieving, and just can't stay with you while I go through this.

I will be back.

While I'm gone I hope you will love one another as you'd be loved. Bear in mind I am not the only one grieving this night, and there are many who need your love, not your hatred or your fear. Be kind. Life is brief and when it is done, there will be no chance for you to make ammends with each other.

Value Life. Value Love. Value each other as brothers and sisters who are all seeking.

Who considers Christianity to be a cult, and Christ to be the equivalent of David Koresh or Jim Jones?

Why or why not??

It seems that Christians through the years have morphed Jesus into a super white dude. However if you look at the region Jesus came from, he would've most likely looked like what a modern day Arab does today. Why do white people always have to screw stuff up!? What do you think?


PS I'm not a Christian, however I believe Jesus existed, but only as a non white man.

PEACE.

If a Holy man deliberately drowned someone during a full immersion Baptism, would he be charged with murder, or would the church get him off??
