I,m Catholic, and love my Lord and my God beyond words, the Episcopal Church appears to be in a turmoil at present. Gay bishops etc. I guess I could go on for hours or more. Do Episcopal priests have the same training, credentials, priestly powers from Christ?????? If I convert to the Anglican church will I GO TO HEAVEN???????????

The image of the good shepherd and the flock is very old, it is common in the catacombs of Rome and dates back to the first century. Why sheep? They are the amongst the most stupid of domesticated animals known for blindly following. Did Jesus characterise himself as the good shepherd and his flock? If so he seems to be cynically mocking the people that follow him. If he needed a domestic animal to create a metaphor he had the choice of many (eg camels, goats, horses). The Gaderine Swine story shows that Jesus was familiar with pigs, much more intelligent animals (smarter then dogs). Why didn't he use the methaphor the good swineherd and his church a herd of swine? Regarding his followers as sheep Jesus seems to be acting as a cynical conman. Of course he was executed as a criminal and his own people the Jews, wrote in writings contemporanious with the gospels that he was a " bastard heretic sorcerer" and this is why he got the chop. Don't Christians mind being sheep?

a believer who once knew the Lord, sins knowingly then he can no longer expect to be saved because he cannot "Crucify Christ a Second time."
My question is this are there denominations or any Christians out there that take these verses as they are stated and believe that they will go to hell because they knowingly sinned?
I believe that we all knowingly sin, so are we all going to hell? Or perhaps the writer of Hebrews did not mean what he said or perhaps the translators could not translate it correctly into english.

Hebrews 6:4
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, .....
Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of ra

I mean, its not solid concrete detail, just something that makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Its about space, the universe (i've always thought if one wants to find Gods miracles, you either look at the really little things, cells and organisms, and the really big thing, the universe) Ok, here it goes, its kinda hard to explain. The universe is a vast amount of empty space, a small minority of it filled with galaxies and planets and so forth. But where did all that empty space come from? Why do humans, or anything for that matter even exist? What if there was just nothing, no space, no human beings, no universe, no nothing? An infentesimal amount of sapce couldn't have just come from no where, why is it here and how did it get here? Because there is a God, and we do have a purpose. There are so many things scientists don't know, like what makes cells do what they do, or how the universe was created. Theories have come and gone, but I not everything can be explained with logic. Its at that point God steps in. My point is, this whole unimaginably enormous wonder of space did not just come out of nowhere. It came from God. Make sense, doesn’t it?

First let me say there are hot guys from all races, and colors. But is there that one that turns you mad, that you like have the total hots for. Do you have thing for Whites, blacks, Latinos, etc.

I must say I think Asians are so hot. Especially Filipinos, theres just something about them. I would have to say Latinos are next, theres just something so sexy about them.

I have come across this topic on several different occasions when talking to women that are bi-sexual. They say that a guy is either straight or they are gay, they can not be Bi-Sexual. What is the deal with that. I love being with men and women, I consider myself to be bi-sexual so how do you respond to people that say they are bi-sexual bringing you down like that, they treat you as if you are a freak of nature when you are just like them??

Why don't we see any news headlines about them bombing clinics, drowning their 5 children (Andrea Yates), cutting off their baby's arms (Dena Schlosser), shooting nuns in the back or flying planes into buildings?

Is there anything in the news about these athiests that I've somehow missed?

for those of you who say you dont need evidence: have you ever read something or heard something and doubted it without evidence to back it up? it doesnt necessarily have to do with religion, but any kind of category. have you ever said, "show me the proof" to anything at any point in your life? if you think that proving something else, other than god or religion is different than proving a god exists, please explain. if you can, explain without saying that when it concerns your god, all you need is faith. if all you need is faith concerning your god and religion, shouldnt it be all you need for every other aspect of your life as well?

for those of you who say "the bible is my evidence": have you ever cited just one book while writing a research paper in school?

for those of you who just believe you know that your god is real, do you want others to accept your decision and belief? if no, then thats cool, but if yes, then are you willing to accept other people's belief?
