I'm not talking about creation as each being unique, I'm talking about individual character. If we are to follow the laws of God, then by that logic, everyone would have to think and act the same, thus eliminating individuality. Therefor Individuality would ultimately fall under the label of sin would it not. What makes a person an Individual, if not the Free Will that God provided to us, then what. If we are to obey or follow what God wants, then we would be nothing but lemmings.

I have had some hard things happen to me and I have become embittered.

These thoughts that keep coming into my mind are the harms and dissapointment of the past.

Everytime I surrender everything over to God, somehow the past still comes back to me. How do I put the past in the past?

Out of all my sisters I have gone through the most mentally and emotionally.

I know I am only human but I have had enough of the bad racing thoughts going through my mind.

I am curious on something. Most of the time when I read answers from you, it's from the middle of the evolutionary chain (ie, life has already started). I was wondering what the theory of Evolution had to say about where life first came from. How did that first single-cell organism come into being?

I"m merely curious and hope this doesn't offend you. I don't think I"ve ever heard the answer before and would like to know. Thank you.

Literal: they come true as they are

symbolic: they try to give you a message through symbols

The religious right often uses Romans 1:26-17 to condemn homosexuals. But they ignore most of the other "laws" Paul gave to the church, such as the following:
I Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
I Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

My question is, if the Bible is the absolute standard of behavior, why do almost all Protestant churches refuse to obey ALL of it? By definition, are they hypocrites or not?

than the one taught you by your local preacher or denomination?
Acts 17:11
Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

I saw myself married to a man that looks a lot like my current bf and I had 7 children.

We were in the holy city Makkah and the grounds were destroyed. But I had taken my kids there anyway, we stood on top of a hill and paid our respects to the Holy Grounds then left.
Do you think this is symbolism or literal?

He received his Ph.D in molecular biophysics from Oxford. A year later he gained first class honors in Theology. He left Oxford to work at Cambridge where he studied for ordination into the Church of England. He has written over 20 scholarly books in the field of theology, scientific theology, and reformation history. He is also a critic of Richard Dawkins, also at Oxford, and calls him "embarrassingly ignorant of Christian theology." He has place an open invitation to publicly debate Dawkins that is repeatedly refused by the latter. In February 2007 this professor will release his book that takes on the claims of Dawkin's "The God Delusion."

The guidelines are:
Line 1: One noun (love)
L2: Two adjectives to describe the noun seperated by "and"
L3: A verb (action word) and an adverb (describing the action)
L4: Start with "like..." and compare it to something
L5: Start it with "If only ..." and state what you with it could be

It's for a childrens prayer book, and I've been sitting here for an hour trying to figure out the perfect prayer to match the guidelines.
This is the one I made up:

Dear God, I love thee with all heart and soul
So God please help those with no true heart and an empty soul,
So that those people can live happily,
Like my family and myself,
If Only we could all feel happy.
Amen.

Is it good, and do you think it follows the guidelines pretty good? I stil have 2 more to go, so I wanna make sure i'm doing it right.
