I tried to meditate myself so many times but i'm really not successfull in this case and i hate this. I went to a course in my city(Izmir/Turkey) but it was to expensive and it was something like money-trap. I tried to learn it from books but no success again. What's wrong with me? Is there any website which can be useful for me. Or some personal experience to share with me. I don't know, i don't like to give up so easily but i really get bored to gain nothing everytime.

In tracing the origin of the Bible, one is led to the year 325, when Constantine the Great called the First Council of Nicaea, composed of 318 religious leaders. Three centuries after Jesus lived, this council was given the task of separating divinely inspired writings from those of questionable origin.

Were these 318 religious leaders divinely inspired?

I can't find anything about it in my Bible, and it seems kinda odd to think of the whole Bible as infallible if the people who selected the gospels weren't infallible.

Is there any proof in the Bible that says these 318 religious leaders where Divinely inspired? Or at least infallible?

What is the deal with disfellowshipping? I was never df'd, im inactive....but all my "friends" abandoned me. Don't you think a person such as myself would need help, encouragement, a shoulder to cry on during a tough time? Believe me, the abandonment by everyone has taught me who my 'true' friends are. If they think that by leaving my life it'll make me want to come back, they are truly mistaken....I don't enjoy mental and emotional abuse.

Your thoughts on why this should be the practice?

I am polynesian born in the south Pacific Islands and raised here in the states. I am proud to be Samoan & Tongan, and im very much completely proud of my Samoan side, I love my culture's, i love the beautiful islands, i also love all my family & close friends very much! But i hate Tongan people outside my circle of trust like my family & friends. I have live outside of the Tongan community but i have to see them when visiting my grams. They are nothing but haters against one another and most of the woman are sh*t starters & drama queens. Most of the men all perverts and peices of sh*t. I married outside my culture because i did not want to be some how drawn to my own kind. Am i a racist against my own kind? Is it normal to feel you hate ur own people?

What are the different ways to express interest in English ?

For example:
-It's a good idea.
-That seems interesting.

Can you add more expressions ?

Why hasn't anyone found it yet? It should be visible, no? With like a telescope? Oh wait, it has to be invisible then, right?

Yeah, I used to have these friends when I was a kid, they were invisible, but then I grew up and they disappeared. Why? I don't know. You got me on that one.

How did jesus levitate to heaven? Wouldn't he have to go through space? They didn't have spacesuits back then did they? Cause I know that after rising from the dead taking a trip in space is gonna hurt, that's why jesus had to have a spacesuit right?

So then what's up? If the central reason for being a christian is believing jesus rose from the dead up to heaven, then why do people still believe in this crap? It obviously didn't happen. Unless of course you're in denial.

Then everything makes sense. Except the truth.

By the way, I DO believe in God, but there is one place where I believe differently than the majority.

If God is so great, then how can a human (Jesus, Peace be upon Him) be compared to God? I don't understand why it can't be accepted that God is God - the most high, and no human can be compared to him, and the fact that Jesus was SENT BY GOD, but not God. Being sent by God, Jesus was still a prophet, and as great as those who make him sound.

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of this year. The doctor told her that her cancer was aggressive and that she had a "chance" of beating her cancer. My mother, father, and all six of us kids prayed and trusted in the Lord even when they told us bad news but we stayed strong. Well yesterday we found out that she is now CANCER-FREE. God is great and he loves all of us. We just have to trust him and have faith no matter what you've been through or what your going through. I just wanted to share my story with all of you to show you that with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. God Bless all of you.

I know there are different degrees of sinning, however is there no hope for people who have committed mortal sins? I thought that God was all merciful, and loving. Or is it just the fear that the catholic church is enforcing onto fellow catholics? All we all meant to burn in hell because we are not perfect? I'm so confused.
