Some people won't drink, but they will overeat.

Most people don't think divorce and remarriage is wrong.

A lot of people work on Sunday.

Calling all Christians.
Jesus was said to be sacrificed FOR the sins of man by God. But who did God sacrifice Jesus TO?
All sacrifices are in honour of something or to something of a higher power so WHO WAS GOD APPEASING BY KILLING HIS SON (who was also god himself)

God was sacrificing himself to himself? How is this possible? Surely if He is all powerfull there was no need to sacrifice his son. Did he sacrifice his son to appease the Devil or a HIGHER POWER THAN GOD?
Please answer even if you are not a christian but make your answers cohernet. Thanks.

Just curious how to handle it. Some children are new friends from school and I wouldn't expect them to bring a gift at all.

Sister is going through a divorce. I think they can get over their problems if he would just try. She wants to try to make it work but he doesn't.

The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone, while surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armor wishing they'd have had the strength to stand?

I think people should care about get to know more about every religion in the world so we can live in peace with each other. Ignorance is a threat and people believing in media with out making questions is the most dangerous coz they are manipulated and dont even think about it...

Its a waste of brains.

In Exodus we have "Thou shalt not commit adultery" and in Matthew 5:28 we have "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery..."

It would seem to me that looking at a woman and lusting is committing adultery whereas if I hadn't seen her it wouldn't be?

I thought the New Testament overrules the Old Testament? How do I know when to apply what?

Baby's Baptism is this Sunday and I think it is proper that we give the Godparents a gift of some sort, right? Never done this before. Need some help on what would be meaningful and creative!

Two main theories suggesting the universe is infinite...

Big Crunch Theory: Suggests that before the big bang all the matter in the universe was drawn together and instead of making a black hole like most dense celestial bodies, resulted in a big bang. This hints at the universe having a rubber band effect where it expands then contracts.
- not possible under classical newtonian physics when we observe the universe is acually accelerating out instead of slowing down.

Infinite Mother Universe Theory - This theory is even more of a joke considering there's absolutey not logical or empirical evidence. It states that there is a universe creating universe that is infinitely creating random kinds of universi and thus we happen to be the one with life. This theory takes far more belief than a creator.

I think the universe started with a big bang and is finite. How about you?

So, as a Christian, if you have something against your brother, you aren't supposed to take part in communion.

I have a cousin that has done things against other people. I told her how I felt. We basically agreed to disagree. So 2 years later, her and another cousin (who was also her pastor) had a disagreement. She is no longer speaking to my immediate family because my brother had that cousin (the pastor) to marry him and his fiance. She didn't even come to the wedding and she has not spoken to us since.

So if someone is mad at me because she has a personal problem, is there anything I can do? I don't want to act like it was ok for her to be that way. She has yet to make amends.

God is portrayed as destructive in the Bible, from flooding the world to sending bears to kill children. This portrayal practically drops with the stories of Jesus Christ.

Chronologically, what was the last destructive act God did in the Bible? I am not counting Revelations, as that is supposed to be stories of destruction to come.

Quite a number of remains have been found of humans ancestors. Homo floresiensis (or Hobbits) are a notable example.

I wonder if we could just rewrite the bible to fit them in?

Think of all the verses in the bible you claim "no longer apply" or "that was a different time" before you answer this.
