Is it wrong to get my mother in law a gift card for less than what she will probably spend on me if I am on a budget this year?

One answer to my "would you still have a soul" section:

"Yes, that wouldn't effect your soul...your soul is inside you in a spiritual sense. It's part of your brain."

In that case, how much of the brain does a person need to have to keep their soul?

Do you believe a person could sell their soul to the devil? And if so... How do you think that person would go about getting it back.

It's true!

Jesus escaped the clutches of the Romans and fled to Japan where he lived a life in exile in this northern mountain village. There he married a woman called Miyuko, and they became parents of three daughters. Jesus died at the age of 106.

Two wooden crosses outside the village mark the graves of Jesus and his brother, Isukuri, and there is even a museum that remembers Jesus as a garlic farmer known to the Japanese as Daitenku Taro Jurai.

Isukuri, the people say, was crucified in Jerusalem instead of Jesus. When Jesus came to Shingo he brought with him the severed ear of his brother. Apparently it is only the ear that lies buried in that ancient tomb beside Jesus.

In the museum is a scroll, said to be a copy of an original document that was the last will and testament of Jesus. The original document, first discovered in the hands of a priest in 1935, was reportedly destroyed during the war. But a copy exists and is contained in a glass case.

Did u know?

I come for practice for the real world, myself.

Sometimes I like to ask things to see what people will say and how most will approach things. I think it makes me better at debating in real life.

Tonight was our annual Holiday Office Party at work. We had a Yankee Swap which is where you pick a gift, unwrap it in front of everyone.. decide if you want to keep it, if you don't.. you trade with someone else. Well one of my co-workers was last and go the gag gift of the evening which was 2 boxes of condoms and a jar of vasaline. As I was going to leave, she asked me if I wanted them right in front of our CEO.

Would this bother any of you if your co-worker did this?

Honestly, does true love wait. What does God say about waiting... What do you think about it...(this question is aimed at CHRISTIANS ONLY) Me personally, I don't believe in marriage at all. I don't believe in being in love either, but I am open to debate both points. What say you my friends... Is love even real anymore? And if it is, is it worth waiting for?

God bless, and Merry Christmas

Please answer "yes" or "no" to the following.

1) If my legs get cut off do I still have a soul?

2) If my arms are cut off, do I still have a soul?

3) If my hips are removed, do I still have a soul?

4) If (hypothetically speaking), science is able to remove my torso, my heart, my lungs, and replace it with cybernetic parts, do I still have a soul?

5) If (hypothetically speaking), science is able to take my brain, and put it into a cybernetic organism, would I still have a soul?

6) If (hypothetically speaking), science is able to make an exact cybernetic copy of my brain, and is able to transfer my thoughts, experiences, the whole shabang, into the cybernetic brain, would I still have a soul?

Thank-you.

Do you believe in free will or destiny? Is life just the consquences and reaction of the decisions and actions we make in life or is it all predestined for us? I find destiny to be hard to believe. I don't believe that someone's destiny can be to live in poverty and then starve to death or to be raped, tortured and murdered. I want to believe in God and an afterlife, but with all the evil in the world, I don't know. Is God not able to intervene in our lives? Do we make our own choices and decisions and whatever happens to us is just the consequence? What about people who have terminal illnesses and get cured miraculously. or other people who survive near death? How come some people have wonderful lives, never knowing of misery or sorror, and others lives are the complete opposite? I may sound stupid, but I would like to know what other people think or believe.

I tried telling my mom that three of them of been talking to me, following me, inside my dreams, etc.

I showed her the pictures I drew of the girl Hina. Then I showed her the things I wrote down that Lucifer told me. She doesn't believe me though.

I told my friends, only 2 of them believe me. Ones like "don't listen to them, think about jesus when they talk to you". The other one has another best friend where the same thing happened and he went to the crazy hospital for a month.

I dunno what to do.

Protestant,Catholic or any one of the others?
Each has it's own interpretation of the bible.Each thinks it is the correct interpretation.
Why are so you surprised that so many people do not believe in your god when you cannot even decide among yourselves what is correct?

this revolutionary discovery of mine is fool proof!! my theory blends both the evolutionary and divine creation theories. ok, so god is an ape and he creates us in his image (an ape). from there, we have evolved from this original ape into humans. find a flaw...i dare you.

Can someone help explain why Catholics confess to priests, rather than, confess to God privately? I know it is a sacrement, however, I'm looking for a better answer.

I've seen a lot of ignorant people here, and a few people say just this, it is scary sometimes. Christmas actually developed as a pagan holiday and was banned by the protestant church until the 18th century, when it was brought back as Christmas.

There is actually quite astounding evidence that Jesus was not born in winter. As the scriptures said that the farmers went in their feilds upon the news. Well if you believe Jesus was born in December you should research the Palestinian winters.

In all truth, Jesus probably hates you all for celebrating the holiday.
