ones?

Should Christians be placing the same importance on the accurate teaching of something like the Great Flood, as is placed on Armageddon, or are the small details unimportant in the overall scheme of things?

Watching a program on the History Channel, they showed how it has been established that it had to be a box, not a boat, as in the shape of a boat, it would have rolled over without tones of ballast (rocks) taking up room in the hole. The shape of a boat came from Sumerian myth of Ziusudra, as well as other sources. A box would have floated level and without rocking, which would have made for a lot of very sick animals.

Is it important to be teaching our children that the Ark was a box, and not a boat, or is it one of those little things in the Bible that is not especially important?

Islam actually means peace. "Salaam wa Alaikum", the Islamic greeting, means "peace be with you". Why all the anger?

I was wondering why so many people in a congregation get remarried after divorce if it is wrong? Here is a little about my story. After years of childhood abuse and teen abuse from many different individuals, I met my husband and got married. We were married fro 11 years. We had one son. During our marriage there was abuse both physical and mental on both sides. After going into the hospital for approximately 2 months due to stress I decided enough was enough, after one particuliar physical encounter I called the police and we seperated. We both dated others while seperated and we ended up getting divorced. We tried to reconcile later on but I felt the control issues were still there and I felt it detrimental to my son and I and our relationship so I ended it again and seriously tried moving on. While we were married, I had faith, I was a believer but not like I should have been. For about 3 years after the divorce I remained semi single never getting serious and my faith in God grew.

Religion, ideally, is good. I think it's helpful to have a strong set of convictions and ethics for your life, and the afterlife sounds pretty sweet too.

However, organized religion has caused major damage throughout history, and still does to this day. So atheism has it's appeal, but I've found that atheists can be every bit as pretentious and overbearing as any religious fanatic. I believe there is a God, but being a 'casual' christian or catholic or whatever seems to be just as bad for a lot of people.

I'm not ready to take faith out of my life, but stupid athiests and christians make faith (or lack of it) a very confusing thing.

I grew up inSouth Africa where "Coloured" is a distinctive race group - the descendents of the white people and the indigenous Hottentots. While Black people are the Black tribes, the Xhosas, the Zulus etc etc. It's never occurred to me that calling anyone "Coloured" is offensive - stupid, but not offensive. I hate calling people "White", "Black", "Jew" or anything like that, anyway. I do't like labels. I'm not white - I'm sort of pinky caramel. But some people seem to find it deeply offensive and I'd like an explanation of why.

Someone gave my husband this packet of old letters and documents, which are eerily historical.
I don't know how to get them to the rightful owner/museum.

why do Christians complain about being persecuted? I know American Christians that complain about how hard their life is... and how they are always being persecuted. i do not understand this.

try being a Muslim for two minutes! i personally was almost pushed and front of a train. my best friend has been spit on. along with countless other stories of looks, nasty comments, and even a few violent people.

and also, among several different groups of people there are still many out there who hate and say horrible things about jews. i grew up with a Jewish girl, and they were absolutely horrible to her all throughout grammar school. so much so that eventually her parents moved.

i'm not trying to offend anyone but shouldnt the Christians in America appreciate that majority of people here are Christian and that there is at least one church, if not many more, in each town?

I am in NY USA and I got saved by-as a Child I asked who is Jesus-and my Jewish mom said he is a liar and a deciever have nothing to do with him. Yet as life went on-I saw movies about Jesus-like Jesus of Nazareth and the Passion of Christ and new he wasnt a bad person.
I asked my mom what do I do about sin-she said ask your uncle-he said cast bread on water once a year for Yom kippur and your sins will go away. I cried in the bathroom thinkin we are the same as those that go to a priest once a week -we just go once a year-and then can do any sin as much as we desire-as life went on
I went into sin-and felt guilty-
Prophecies told me Jesus was our Jewish Messiah -Isaiah 52vs13-53vs12 written 700 bce "He will be exaulted, He will first be marred more than any man. He will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins."
then I found he spoke from heaven (Revelation1:1& 3:19&20 "Behold I love you & knock on your heart to come in and deliver from sin to be your friend&prayed
