It seems that people of color are the only ones that take pride in there beautiful skin tones. Knowing how bad sitting under the sun is and how harmful going to the tanning bed is for your skin, why do you do it? Just seeing how wrinkled and older paler skinned people look even at the age of 26 to 30 and then 40...... why do this to yourself. Looking pale isn't bad that's what you were born with.

If Jesus obsoletes the Old Testament, shouldn't God have sent some new guy with some new commandments? Obviously all that business about not killing people, not lying and not coveting isn't working out.

Hello!! :o) I hope you're OK. The Bible seems to make it clear that it is a 'sin' to LUST. But what IS 'lust' - exactly?! What do YOU think it means?! I tend to believe that 'to lust' is to 'obsess over something'. Some say that lust is ANY sexual thought or feeling. But if that is true - how does a man avoid the sin of lust and have sex with his wife?! Have a great day!! Craig!! :o)

1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1 John 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

In arabic the word phrophet means someone who can predict the future. If you read the Koran and study it your going to find that the book itself is a collection of poems of statues that were used for worship. Also it's a collection from the bible, the torah and authors of that time. It's better if they call him a messenger because thats as good as he can get for being a terrorist.

i know christianity best--so that's where i'm coming from. answers about any other religions (some that don't restrict women, some that do in different ways, etc.) are appreciated as well.

in the bible's teachings, why must women be quiet and obedient; they are not allowed to preach or hold positions of authority and they are aldultresses; women are often lesser and must be commanded and kept in line.

aside: i know that there are some virtuous and good women in the bible. . . but they are far outnumbered. so i'm not saying there aren't any good women, but why the huge difference in morality and control for men and women? why do the stories of wicked and bad women overwhelm the good ones so much?

James 3:14-16


13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

I find it pretty awesome that so many people who don't believe in God are in the religion and spirituality section. Maybe your searching for something to believe in? It doesn't matter why, all that matters is that you are being exposed to God's love in one way or another. See you don't have to be in church for God to love you. In fact, you don't have to love God for Him to love you. Jesus died for you whether you decide to accept that gift or not. That's why it's called a gift, it's given. FREE FOR ALL!!! Anyways, remember that God loves you nomatter how much you don't want him to. Pretty powerful love isn't it?

We all inherited our congenital sin defect from our great-great-great ... great-great ... greatgrandfather, Adam, and we all now have new improved Tide with Jesus blood to wash it way. So isn't adding dirt to an already dirty shirt not a big deal? Is there some kind of mega dirt that new improved Tide with Jesus blood won't wash out?

The child of Isaiah 7:14-17, Immanuel, supposedly refers to Jesus, and if one child was identified with a historical person, the others must be, as well. So who is Shear-jashub in Isaiah 7:3-4 and who is Maher-shalal-hash-baz in Isaiah 8:1-4?
