I study with the Jehovah Witness' and I recently got married to a gentleman that my study teacher and her husband really didn't approve of. To make a long story short, I didn't discuss my imending marriage to either one of them; just told them about it after I returned home. They are still upset about it. You can cut the tension with a knife when I am around them or talk to them on the phone. They keep saying I am an adult and can make my own decisions, well that's what I did. I thought that it was better to marry, than to burn with passion. 1Corinthians7:8,9. They didn't even congratulate me. They are just stuck on that I didn't tell them. Well there were alot of people I didn't tell. (mainly family members). Is there more to this?

I have been studying my bible and have come across the parables presented in Luke 13: 36-39. Its the part where Jesus is talking about putting new fabric to old fabric, and pouring new wine into old wine skins. Whats the message hes trying to tell?

There is plenty of writing about the Greek Gods, for instance (I know, common example, but it's something I know about...) And there may well have been a Troy, an Aeneas (Roman, not Greek, sorry) and an Odysseus, who knows? Why not believe in Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite etc?
Or if you are certain there is one God, why not the Muslim God? Or maybe you could do as Jews do and don't believe Jesus was the Messiah?
There is no more proof for Christianity than other religions. You may feel your God through faith, but many other people feel the same for their God - who's to say that YOU are the one in the right?

Thanks for any answers.

Just wondering as they were talking about the film Chicken Run on ITV1 last night and referring to the line 'Get the torch' and Americans maybe thinking something like a burning Olympic torch when Mrs Tweedy meant a flashlight. Can it be confusing if we speak Cockney rhyming slang or come out with a stream of exclusively English words. By the way, with George Bush's middle name being Walker, maybe in the last years of his reign of terror, it's time to start using the English word 'wanker' (a masturbator, a person of dubious morals or a person of dubious social skills, an idiot - this word is not allowed to be used on TV before the 9pm watershed).

Why is it that most lesbian or gay couples have a feminine partner and a masculine partner? Like Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, Ellen is obviously the 'guy' in the relationship! Shouldnt they both be girly coz that whats the whole same sex thing is about?!

I saw the movie BoonDock Saints with my husband. I have actually seen it many times. I know that I have felt that way before. It is not fair that so many criminals walk free. The question this movie brought up though is this. Is there such thing as justifiable homicide. I feel that there is so does my husband but our friends thought they were just as bad as the people they were killing. I disagree. In times of knights and kings this would have been known as justice.

And Shepherds we shall be

For thee, my Lord, for thee.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand

Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee

And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.

I've been with my fiance' for just about 2 years. In the beginning, she cheated on me twice, and then some other things happend with a couple other people that some would constitue as cheating. But I dont know. One of our good friends moved here from Fl. and she and I ended up taking innocent flirting, way too far. We ended up kissing and holding hands and talking about a relationship together; all the while I am still with my fiance'. My fiance' knows everything now, and I've been given the chance to make it up to her, but so far haven't put in that much effort. And I do love her, and Im in love with her; But the "what if's" and "maybe's" get the best of me more often than not. What do I do? I love my fiance', and I told her that part of me wants to work it out, but the other part doesn't. I don't want to break her heart... I love her - I just don't have any idea where to start with all this... Someone Help?

I looked at bibleevidence.com and there is no proof, just people saying "believe this becuase" and then telling you to buy a bible. I personally think it is rediculous to think you have the only "right" religion among the many out there. And all the "proof" people say they have amonts to nothing, honestly. Not only that, but I've heard from a preachers mouth, who has a Ph.D. in religion, that the bible has no proof. It didn't take this for me to know that but it did support it alittle. People say Jesus lived, but so what if he did. There was many men going around at that time with a similar story of "God". How many of you knew this and pass it off. Jesus being a person just more successful at his story. The thing is the bible is so vague, you can relate it to anything. Also, it has been rewriten so many times by people who "heard" nothing from "God", it's like a 2000 year old game of telephone, I wouldn't rely on a five mintue game of telephone. I just want alittle proof from someone.

........yet to believe as Christians do,I have to stop thinking and accept on blind faith.I cant do that because I feel it denies my birthright ,that which separates me from the common animals.
So how does a Christian accept that they are in fact denying their birthright?

I don't need specific ages if you don't want, but maybe a general idea e.g. 'when I was in my teens'
What provoked that belief? Did you just suddenly 'feel' it? Or did you read the Bible or something?

Is the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues still in use? I know people use it incorrectly a lot today. 1 Corinthians 14: 27 and 28 says "if anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. 28If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God." it's not supposed to be a big yammer fest (1 corinthians 4:23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand[g] or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?) there is an orderly way to do it. but someone told me that the spiritual gifts of healing, miracles, and tongues and interpretation of tongues are not still in use. I am confused because the bible says all spiritual gifts will be abolished when Christ returns...not before. if anyone can shed some light on this for me I would appreciate it. please back up what you say with Scripture...thank you!

I have been wondering for so long as to why blacks are always so quick to claim white and native american heritage. Most of my black friends claim that they are biracial when both parents are black. I understand most blacks have more than one racial heritage, but don;t you think it's kind of riduculous to see a person who is as black as can be in skin and features and say they are white?. I get offended because it means that they are trying to diown their african heritage and ancestry. I am considered light skinned...i dont think so...but anywho...people constantly as me...what are you? and I say, look at me..what do you think? They say chinese or white...I dont get it. It makes me so sad. It's like people do not want to be black anymore. What's wrong with being black?

And tell you which coupon to use on what item? Every single item bought was on clearance...they've used 13 coupons on 7 items, but still get angry with you b/c you've "cheated" them out of 6 cents. Indian men don't really do it so much, but the women will tear you apart b/c they've figured out the price in their heads. Reeeally good at math like that. I know I'm gonna get some backlash, but allll of us cashiers have notcied the same thing. Have you noticed this?
