so I may be a little uninformed on this...
but I thought it said somwhere in the bible that if you had faith the size of a mustard seed you will be saved..but I also have recently joined a church and they said somthing about the 3 things you have to do being:
1)Repent
2)Be Baptised
3)Recieve the Holy Ghost
So is it one..or the other or both?
Everytime I ask a Q like this I get some weirdo who thinks they need to yell at me and fly off the handle. So just remember this is how we learn...by asking!!! be nice!! :)

My mother is a die hard christian and she can argue the wings off a butterfly when it comes to her religion. She can quote the bible from beginning to end, throw historical facts at you to back it up, and weave in the philosophies as well. All we seem to get on this site are a bunch of borderline retarded children saying "god is love, I love my god, whuts wrong wit u?"
Where are the real, educated, intelligent, thinking christians who have made an actual CHOICE to believe as opposed to these idiots who believe in god, santa and the easter bunny? WHY ARE YOU LETTING THESE IMBECILES MAKE FOOLS OF YOU ALL????????????

I have often heard it argued that abortion is wrong because some young mother may abort the second coming of Christ. But if this is possible, isn't it equally likely that the Anti-Christ would be aborted, thus averting the apocalypse?

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

~John Lennon

The word yam in Hebrew is the ordinary word for "sea," although in Hebrew it is used for any large body of water whether fresh or salt. The word suph is the word for "reeds" or "rushes," the word used in Ex. 2:3, 5 to describe where Moses' basket was placed in the Nile. god doesnt now the difference bettwen red and reeds? boy u god damn idiots r dumb,

If you're a really nice guy in hell, and spread cheer and all, can you get off at like 2 lifetimes, cause I can't see why you'd need eternal punishment for finite misdeeds.

There are so many christians out there in the world who have never read the bible. And I am far from being the most knowledgeable or prudent, but it just puzzles me. I have a lot of friends who believe in jesus, yet have never read the bible. But were brought up in churches. Why is it that so many christians have never ead the bible? I am not a christian and I have even read the bible. Can someone give me a good reason why, instead of just laziness?

why would he watch his son be tortured and killed before he decides to forgive you all your sins? and if he lets his son get all that disrespect and torture and be killed how do you think he will be merciful to you IF NOT TO HIS OWN SON?

and if Jesus was god himself why does he need all that to happen to him before he forgive you?

I believe that God is the most merciful so I can't believe this is what really happened.

I have to laugh and ask if anyone else is with me in saying that IF I wound up in hell they wouldn't keep me as I would most likely get in trouble for trying to spread love and cheer even there. Who is with me in this? And YES I am a Christian so I have no plans to go there.

Do you think people of the major religions (Christians, Jews and Muslims) are paving the way of an ungodly power who don't belong to any of them? Like Atheists? Becaue Christians, Jews and Muslims are fighting with eachother, and in the meantime athiests and such other groups are rising up. Atheists now claim they are smarter than any of the three. Atheists claim they have more intelligent people, scientists and others to rule the world and put down Christians, Muslims and Jews as lower IQed people.

Do you think it is high time for people of 3 major religions to realize
that when lions and tigers fight eachother, no one wins, but share goes to hyenas and foxes?

thoughtful answers please.

My boyfriend and I had been going out for quite a while before we had sex (I wanted to make sure he wanted to be with me for me and not for sex). We are both college students with jobs, homework and class so when we see each other we are tired and don’t do much, which means that we only have sex once or twice a week. Now that we are sexually active I can’t seem to get enough! I want more of him... in me! How do I tell him I want more sex? Or should I be satisfied that I have a man that can actually please me, no matter how often?

I've always thought that when dealing with emotionally triggering topics, that the use of non-emotive terminology was for the best.

Recently it has been brought to my attention that the term homosexual community makes the implication that we are not talking about people.

I've also been told that communities are made up of people.

As always, I reserve the right to change my mind.

I would like some feedback on this issue.

1 Corinthians 2:3-5
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

Acts 4:33
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all.


Acts 6:8
Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people.



Romans 15:19
by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
