since it's a sin for a man to lust after a woman, are we being hateful, careless or selfish to not dress modestly?

I want to know things about being the goddess...created by Jesus to be His...and things interest me like crazy... I want to know the things that enchant me with Gods beauty..I think that Jesus is as interested in my magic as I am... the magic that flows from the life in and of all things...spontaneously,freely flowing...I feel magic when I see Winnie the Pooh and their story...and I think Jesus made angels more like beautiful fairies as well as big dudes in white robes. Whats wrong with that ? I still love Jesus totally....I think the Holy Spirit also lives in laughter like a cloud that He has made His home in....What is wrong with that ? Nothing I think. I think He goes with me and my friends and sits with me in a magical beauty and mist as I sip exotic teas and drinks in youth hangouts downtown.

2:62 "Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."

Does it make you feel very small, that you would hate a people who do not hate you, even though Jesus (pbuh) preached only love? Who is better following the example of Jesus (pbuh) - the ones who preach hatred, or the ones who preach tolerance?

See you in heaven someday, God willing!

Now, I am not going to attack anyone specificly by name, but look at the answer were the peron says "thats caues churches preach more than one god".
Then the cut and paste. nonsense.

Now look at the answer of the person who said you are intelligent, you are going to live your life and hopefully get different ideas in your head,

and in the end you will still be a christian.

Christianity always has preached one God, sure in the early stages there were issue, but modern christianity has always been one god,

the idea that this 18 year old girl might read another book is a threat to they who want control, but not a threat to jesus

i hope she educates herself and becomes a better person,

isn't that something her jesus would want?

Why would a fool try and stop another human being from reading a book or hearing a song?

Bible Sales

A minister concluded that his church was getting into serious
financial troubles.

While checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of
new bibles that had never been opened and distributed. So at his
Sunday sermon he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who
would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise
the desperately needed money for the church.

Peter, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the
task. The minister knew that Peter and Paul earned their living as
salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles but he had
serious doubts about Louie. Louie was just a little local farmer, who
had always tended to keep to him because he was embarrassed by his
speech impediment. Poor little Louis stuttered very badly. But, not
wanting to discourage poor Louis, the minister decided to let him try
anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars
stacked with bibles and asked them to meet with him and report the
results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately
asked Peter, "Well, Peter, how did you make out selling our bibles
last week?"

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Peter replied, "using my
sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here's the $200 I
collected on behalf of the church."

"Fine job, Peter!" The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand.
"You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you."
Turning to Paul, he asked "And Paul, how many bibles did you manage to
sell for the church last week?"

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, "I am a
professional salesman and was happy to give the church the benefit of
my sales expertise. Last week I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the
church, and here's $280 I collected."

The minister responded, "That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are
truly a professional salesman and the church is also indebted to you."

Apprehensively, the minister turned too little Louie and said, "And
Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?"

Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope. The reverend
opened it and counted the contents. "What is this?" the minister
exclaimed. "Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you
sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?

Louie just nodded.

That's impossible!" both Peter and Paul said in unison. "We are
professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many
bibles as we could."

"Yes, this does seem unlikely," the minister agreed. "I think you'd
better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie."

Louie shrugged "I-I-I- re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f-f-f-for
sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. "For crying out loud, Louie, just tell
us what you said to them when they answered the door!"

"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was," Louis replied, "W-w-w-w-would
y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible
f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you
j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and

I mean Hitler hated Jews and Fred Phelps hates gays. Hitler used Jews as a scapegoat and it seems like Fred Phelps is using gays as a scapecoat to spread his influence.

Why cant I stand to listen to anything Christian but I love Jesus ? I still love to hang out with my pagan friends and wiccans. i tell them about Jesus and He seems to impact their lives even though I dont go to Church much. I love to dress goth and lots of jewelry and to go to cultic little towns with my sisters. Im not persecuting anyone...just cant stand to hear 99% of Christian stuff...
