People say that God is a very loving figure, that he loves all of us. But then, why do people hold up signs that say "God hates gays"?

I also heard preachers say to "Fear God". Why fear? Why not respect?


All opinions are welcomed.

Jesus was born during the Jewish feast of Tabernacles, Sukkot.
It is happy celebration and a time of joy and rejoicing. Jesus is our joy. This makes sense.

The Feast of Tabernacles, also called Booths, comes on the fifteenth of Tishri (September-October), the seventh month according to the Jewish (biblical) calendar.

Why? John the Baptist was born during Passover. The angel Gabriel came to Mary to tell her about Jesus in Elizabeth's six month of pregnancy. (luke 1:36)

So three months later John the Baptist was born. Add 8 days for the Passover celebration. Then 6 months less 8 days later, you are SMACK in the middle of the feast of tabernacles. A feast of Joy, comes Jesus. That is why all the rooms were gone in Bethlehem too.

PLUS, the Christmas day and the tree are all Pagan of origin and have nothing to do with Jesus. (Jerimiah)

It is NOT wrong to celebrate Christ's birth any day. Just trying to let you know, he was born in the feast of joy! PRAISE HIM!

thoughts?

A friend of mine (who has no permanent address or contact information) has not been seen or heard from for a worrisome amount of time. It is a legitimate fear of his mutual friends (myself included) that he may have died while hitchhiking or camping during such travel. Is there some way for me to get a list or contact information for organizations that handle lists of unidentified people who were found dead recently? Perhaps a list of drifters and homeless who have died but remain unidentified?

I have not been to church in a while because I just started college and havent found a church to attend, its been about six to seven months, I feel satan is trying to tempt my faith in God and use alot of different things to turn me from him, I have never questioned God and his exsistence but people have come into my life to shake my faith and I have questioned things, but I feel like Im so far from God right now, Will you just pray for my walk with him that my relationship will be made whole.

ex: Noah and the flood and Adam and Eve seem so unreal and isn't it silly for some people to take the Bible SO seriously? I do believe in God and that he sacrificed Jesus but the rest just seems like such bogus. why should we depend on the bible so much? I'd rather just depend on my faith.

As a Marcus myself, I have always gone with the shortened version Marc. After discussing it with a friend, he said that every Marcus besides myself shortens it to Mark. Just wondering what other people thought on this topic.
