When a boy gives you a passage from Corinthians saying, "Love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, it does not hate...etc."Also, he bumps into your hand a whole bunch of times, and when you playingly say, "hey whatcha doin'?" he says in a flirty way, "Oh, i was gonna hold your hand..." I have a crush on this guy and I think he might reciprocate my feelings, the problem is that we've been friends for almost four years. He's so shy and devout , I believe that contibutes to my difficulty in discerning whether or not he truly has feelings for me.This may sound stupid, but to Christian boys have certain ways of telling a girl they like them as more than a friend?

take a moment to think about the following statement:

"Hello, my name is Jesus. I love you deeply. I have loved you since you were conceived in the womb and I will love you for all eternity. I died for you on the cross because I love you so much. I long to have a loving personal relationship with you. I will answer all of your prayers through my love. But if you do not get down on your knees and worship me, and if you do not EAT MY BODY and DRINK MY BLOOD, then I WILL INCINERATE YOU WITH UNIMAGINABLY TORTUOUS PAIN IN THE FIRES OF HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY

Yes, this is the central message of Christianity. See John 6:53-54 and Mark 16:16.

Think about this message. We have a being who, according to the Standard Model of God, embodies love. Yet, if you do not get down on your knees and worship him, you will be physically tortured for all eternity. What sort of love is that?

A member of a site i regular made a post saying they were bored of the place since hardly anyone's there nowadays. so I suggest they join another site that interests them so they spend less time on the 'dead site' but the said poster didn't understand me

In the gospel it is written that only once Jesus broke out and reacted violently: not against his persecutors, not against Pagans, but against the merchants who were selling in the temple of God, just few days before being crucified. What do you think he should do now when his churches are like supermarkets and the supermarkets are like our churches? Should He destroy both of them?

'Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong­doers) there are no helpers.' (Qur'an 5:72)

I don't know what you Christians find so disgusting about sex!!
I mean if I believed in a "heaven" I'm sure there would be sex!
Why do you Christians hate sex so much? Your "God" is the one who made it for you to enjoy!I just never got that! I mean even your "Gods" first commandment to humans was :Have sex! "And God blessed them, and God said unto them,Be fruitful, and multiply,and replenish the earth.." Genesis 2:28..read in for your self please!

So my two questions are 1# if "God" is the one who made sex for you, then why to you act like it was the devil who made it???

2# Do you think there is sex in heaven??

Oh and I'm sure a whole lot of you are going to play dumb!! I have been to church you know? And I always here the diff pastors saying that sex is sin & ect...JUST ANSWER THE TWO QUTSTIONS PLEASE!!...

Even if you're not Zoroastrian, you are welcome to give your own thoughts on these matters:

1. Why didn't Ahura Mazda (the Wise Lord) just defeat Angra Mainyu (the Satanic figure) at the very beginning? Why let him have any dominion at all?

2. When will the savior come? Has the time already passed when the first savior was to come? If so, how is this explained by Zoroastrians?

3. Have there been incidents of apocalypticism among Zoroastrians like there have been among Christians?

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I understand why so many people do. Many believe it is the birthday of Jesus, so some do it to honor him. Others like getting or giving presents, singing carols, the stories and so on. I understand all that.

But I don't understand why anyone would want a pine tree in their house. The mess that must make must be huge. First getting it inside can't be easy, and rubbing against everything probably knocks off quite a few pine needles. You probably knock off quite a few more decorating the thing, and then many just naturally fall off as the time passes. Then I've heard of more than a few occasions where an animal didn't quite make it out of the tree before it got inside the house, so you might have squirrels and raccoons and such ready and waiting to scratch the living hell out your face for your trouble. Why keep this tradition, it seems so painful and time-consuming?

Sorry but today I am just fired up and I feel like debating
Am not tying to be rude in anyway

Christians you say Islam is the violent think again. You guys have it backwards and please let me turn it frontwards. You have made a mistake is not Islam that is violent but Christianity itself. In a country call Nageria which is in Africa Christians there went and fired mostly every mosque and in Europe Mosques were burned down. You christians are are very critical, judgemental whatever you want to call it. You destroy people emotionally. Explain which religion is violent again and I promise you the christians in Nageria also called Muhhamad a name because he had a lot of
wifes that I will not . Islam is the one and only religion am not saying Christianity is False but the followers are confused.
Whos religion is the violent one?
Yours
