I'd like to get some reasons, as well. Not just 'Yes' or 'No'
Before you start typing, think about a few things: if everyone waited to have sex until they were married, how would the following things be affected: abortion, divorce, education, childcare, healthcare, government.

Our family does a couples gift exchange. We spend $50 per couple but this year it CANNOT be household items. We wrap it up and using dice or numbers, you pick a present. Then when they are all picked, you can trade for the best present. It is all timed and great fun. In the past, some presents have been a gourmet meal in the persons home, movie night, ect. We have been doing this for years, and I am getting idea'ed out. Can anyone help with a great idea?
Thanks a bunch!

Seriously... I've had countless people say that they feel sorry for me that i haven't accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. And that i will regret it. And that they wish i would just read the Bible. And then i've met people that openly criticize Prophet Muhammed and this wouldn't bug me half as much if Muslims actually criticized Jesus. But we don't. We respect him. As a prophet of God.

It's just amazing... so many people claim faith and kindness and call their words and actions so "Christian".

I highly doubt Jesus Christ would have ever insulted Prophet Muhammed or any other religious figure....

To each his own right?

That's BS.

Not a lot truly follow that old adage.

It's more like "to each his own when i can't think of anything intelligent to say".

NOT the true believers. True believers including all the 1.6 Billions Muslim present on the phase of the planet and all the creatures of the ONLY ONE GOD. Mary (peace be upon her PBUH) is the mother of prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).

This is the how GOD describes HIMSELF in HOLY QURAN chapter 112.

[112:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[112:1] Proclaim, "He is the One and only GOD.

[112:2] "The Absolute GOD.

[112:3] "Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten.

[112:4] "None equals Him."

NO ONE can challenge this. Except ISLAM, all other religions on the phase of this planet including their so called human gods cannot fit in this category.

why is it that when the Bible seems to be against something
(homosexuality for example) it is to be taken literaly.

but when it is clearly against something that every man and woman do every day it is a parable to be taken as a story to help you get rid of the bad habit?

why do folks pick and choose what they will follow from the Bible.
this part is literal ,this part is a parable, who made us God,s translators.

Just curious (and a little bored).

Fave - Sweet Tarts...tiny packs of threes are just a perfect amount
Hate - those no-name candies (peanut butter, i think) wrapped in black & orange paper. I always used to get a ton of them too. yukk

What ethnicity was Jesus? I know he was the descendant of King David and he was jewish. But was he a black hebrew or a ashenaki jew, which is white? from the description, derived from the bible his ethnicity is clear. I've heard he was a Mexican by plenty, to me that does not mess because mexico had not been inhabited until the 1600s.

just wondering if any of you self proclaimed atheists have thought about the fact that if you are wrong about God being real and if you dont except him ...that you will be damned ? Im scared for you ...even though i know in my heart that God is real and i have accepted jesus ...IF i was wrong i would have nothing to lose by my life style and beliefs ...YOU would have eternity to burn and be tortured...i pray that you come to know my Jesus .

ie, minimising overpay/ overpower/ tyranny/ undemocracy?

& minimising underpay/ underpower/ slavery/ undemocracy, ie, maximising justice, & reaping peace/ no war?

the rich sometimes grumble about paying unemployment benefit but it seems that NO ONE has realised that the overpaid get MANY MANY unemplmnt benefits - ie, that they get paid for their work & then get up to 3 million unempl benefits on top of fairpay for their work

[if we assume the unemployment benefit is 3rd of the world-average hourly pay - which is US$15/hr, if we pay housewives/homemakers & students, as we should do in justice [pay for wrk], & since the highest hourly pay peaks at a million times average]

now WHY is it that no one has thought of that?

the superoverpaid sometimes begrudge one unemployment benefit, & the rest of us suckers never even think of begrudging the superoverpaid up to 3 million unempl benefits

is it automatic unthinking deference to alpha males?

golden calf syndrome?

In all my life, I've never met a group that was as pious as the Muslims. I've heard other's say "god bless you", but not much else. It also seems Muslims are worried about losing their faith. I was having a religious debate with a muslim once, and he was adamant that when Jesus comes back to earth, Christians will go on a 'crusade' to take over the middle east and oppress muslims....or something along those lines. I've been to India, and there were no Hindus or anything that were so involved with religion. Most people there were like Americans, who aren't extremely religious on the whole.

I have two friends that I've known since junior highschool. I left home when I was 18 and I call them every other month or so. I've never had a discussion with them before about being born again. I know that we should not be ashamed to share the good news about Jesus Christ, but I'm worried that they would be put-off by the talk. I started talking a little with one friend. I asked her if she was in church (just for starters) and then we started having a short discussion about the importance of staying in our faith, then she changed the subject. Have you ever had a conversation about the Lord with long time friends who are not actively practicing the faith/seeking God's face? How did you break the ice? How do you have the discussion without sounding judgemental? They both have kids and are not teaching them about the Lord.

Ive seen other relgions....my dad is catholic and my mom is Baptist and i know ppl that are Mormons. I compare and JW's are so clear...they explain with any kind of Bible and its so clear. Im studing and I luv it. Its not a cult; thatz just a rumor. Everyone talks bad about them because u guyz think that their strict...but their just following the laws of God. I think that ppl talk bad about them cuz ppl just dont want to obey and do whatever they want. Its weird cuz in the Bible it clearly says that ppl would talk bad about the truth...read any bible and u will see that. I know this is the true religion....Ive seen proof, Ive seen changes in ppl.....shish in myself.LOL!
