1 Corinthians 2:10, we see the characteristic of omniscience in the Holy Spirit. “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.”

The Apostle Paul clearly taught that we receive the Holy Spirit the moment we believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior.

So, seeking God, that pull to be closer to him is the Holy Spirit working in us, right? Is that a sign, to us Christians, that we have been saved, and by seeking God we are fulfilling the Holy Spirit?

If non-Christians want to answer with real answers, or what YOUR religion says about it, go right ahead. If however you feel the need to be rude or hateful, save yourself the time, and post it elsewhere, it will be ignored.

Is their a Christian here who thinks they could honestly describe Christian Theology and not come off as sounding superior, condescending or prejudicial?

I'm from Germany and one thing I have been wondering a long time is why do Americans always say Africanamerican instead of just black. What do you then call a black person who isn't an American? Why do you not call white people something like Europeanamerican?

My friend & her boyfriend both awoke at the same time last night. Her boyfriend said he was awakened after supposedly hearing his father call his name. When he looked up he saw his father hanging in the corner of the room. My friend, who woke for an unknown reason but at the same time, also saw the same vision of the father hanging in the corner. They shared with eachother what they had just seen but were unable to understand why they had seen it. The father is still very much alive and well. If you have any idea or reason as to why this occured, please share. Thank you.

Looking at the latest Harris Poll on religion:

http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=707

16% of Catholics, 10% of Protestants, 36% of Jews, and 3% of Born-Agains do NOT BELIEVE in God.

I've usually seen national atheists make up about 10% of the US population, so this means that Catholics are MORE likely to be atheists than the general population.

How is this possibly? Why do do people still practice their religions if they don't buy into them?

Other interesting notes from the poll: the younger and more educated you are, the less you believe in God... heh.

I've tried getting these answered and keep getting the run around - I'll just keep it to 2 questions about her sinlessness and assumption to heaven
where did these start, who said it, who witnessed it, when was it written down (it can still be in oral only tradition)
dont tell me b/c the church said so - thats not good enough for me... I've also already heard the Biblical references but tradition has been claimed also and this is what I would like to know more about
so far all I can find is that the sinless state of Mary became doctrine in the Roman Catholic Church in 1854 under Pope Pius IX
please fill in as many details as you know
thanks

When a stranger holds the door open, walks through a vestibule, and holds the door open again, should I say "thank you" both times they hold it open or only the first time they hold it open? When a stranger sneezes multiple times, should I say "bless you" each time? I want to be polite and avoid awkwardness, but don't want to over do it.

I think he has aspirations to join a cult in our area, we live in Pa just north of Allentown. He does not work but always has money is he doing something illegal? He is an older relative and has all kinds of weird paganistic stuff in his basement.
