Many people including myself hav looked into christanity but how can new people join a religon is their followers seem either sick or psychotic. Normal people dont tell others that we speak different languages because people tried to build a tower to heaven, and normal people certianly dont tell biologist that humans have magical souls that can be tortured after the body is gone.

chrsitians say that death is the penalty of sin.

but my questions:

- why did God set this law from the very begining if he created man falliable by nature , why the games?
- OT says that every sinner should pay for his own sins only .. it's unfair that someone pay for the sins of others

I'm looking forward to read your answers.

Abraham, JC , and Mohamed were all born with in a pretty close distance of one another, especially by US standards. How much do you think this geographical closeness impacts on the 3 faiths and their relationship w/ one another? Is monotheism the rite way to go? Largely, I see monotheism as a consolidation of worship.

Shalom.

I am not a Christian and I've heard recently how Christmas traditions were stolen or copied from Pagan rituals, holidays, etc... Could someone tell me about that? I'm really interested in this.

Or would you be dissapointed?

I have a hard time explaining to my christian friends how much I would love to see my past family and friends in "heaven" but my logical attitude towards religion prevents me from believing in creation. Personaly, I would be stoked.

I was thinking a giant sun in honour of the solstice, which is the TRUE meaning of the holidays BEFORE christianity hijacked the season.

Any other, non christian ideas?

I've always enjoyed the holidays, and have no intention of stopping celebrating a time of year which was celebrated for millenia beofre Jesus.

I'm a native Califorian born and raised and am not not a prude about sex and the nude body. (No California comments allowed). I am aware and respectful of society and don't feel it's right to be tactless, crast or irresponsible about sex or nudity, yet why are Americans ' generally ' thought of to be prudes when it comes to sex and nudity as apposed to the rest of the world ?

If you don't know scripture, then please don't answer the question. You are watering down the gospel, and you will be held to account.

Scriptures that support the chastening of the Lord:
Hebrews 12:5-6:
5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as children? It says,
"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his child."

Hebrews 12:11:
11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Psalm 94:12:
12 Blessed are those you discipline, LORD,
those you teach from your law;

Americani asked if he was being punished by God. While I wouldn't use the word "punished", it is indeed possible he could be being disciplined.

This had to be said.

Because on Wikipedia it says that 'The Roman Catholic Church or Catholic Church (see Terminology below) is the Christian Church in full communion with the Bishop of Rome, currently Pope Benedict XVI. It traces its origins and sees itself as the same Church founded by Jesus of Nazareth and maintained through Apostolic Succession from the Twelve Apostles.' So wouldn't Catholic and Christian be the same? Also why do the Simpson's think that the Catholic Church is bad?
