The late J.C.'s visage on a hunk of cloth.. The Virgin Mary's on a pizza in New Jit (or wasn't it N.J.?), More recently some sort of holy marking in a lady's dog's brow.
I'm going to start closely examining my food. The best I've come up with to date is a truly remarkable resemblance of Pacman after that first forkfull of nuked waffle.

If you think I'm wrong, tell me why this can't be true.

See if they try to change me, that won't work. If they try to get me to stop being gay, that won't work. I've tried many times to be something I'm not, and I'm telling everyone IT DOES NOT WORK. I'll always be this way, and I am NOT HURTING ANYONE. So, is it possible to convert to Christianity knowing that I am who I am? For those who say that homosexuality is not natural and it's wrong or it's cureable, well guess what. You are NOT gay, so you don't know what it feels like. It feels more natural to us than anything. Sorry to say that; I know it will gross some of you out, me talking about such a "disgusting" lifestyle, but I think it's important to get that point across.

examples: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8 NAB)

"And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14 NAB)

"On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete." (John 16:23-24 NAB)

Jesus says god will grant me all prayers. God or Jesus haven't granted me a prayer yet. Why is it ok for Jesus to be a habitual liar?

I just honestly want to know...let me explain to you my little situation...
My fiance's mother is a devout Christain. She doesn't just go through the motions, she believes, truly believes, and she has more faith than I have ever seen in one person. But there is one thing...She has cancer, and I don't think she's expected to live that long. She's going through kemo and is losing all of her hair.

What I want to know is this. How can she love a God that has not shown her love? Or is it considered love that he is taking her away from her family? I'm just confused and I really want to know...Is there even a loving God? Because by the evidence I've seen, (throughout my life, mind you) I have seen no proof of such things.

I am looking for some clarification to the claim that the Coke company created Santa Claus as a advertising campaign. Historically it has been proven that St. Nicholas existed, so now when this statement is said do they mean the modern version of Santa that we know or the entire concept of him? Thank you!

When you're really busy and a lil stressed/tired do you sort of become quiet and akward and can't talk very well and sort of grow apart from the people close to you? :/

I realize we call it Mythology, but someone told me once he was considered God by the Greeks and that some still believe in him.

Hi sacrifice cleaned those who accept him of original sin! Without that, we all go to hell. But recently I've met a lot of Christians who reject Genesis, the fall of man and original sin, yet believe in Jesus. Yes, I know its not really necessary to understand the bible. One must only have faith in Jesus, but I find it frustrating that people don't understand why they need to be saved.

When you see trash questions like "Why does jesus love hitler and want to burn cute little puppies?" or something equally ludicrous, they are clearly trying to incite a backlash for their own purile amusement.

The only answer they want to see is your outrage. Answering with "You're going to burn in hell" or "Read the Bible" is just what they want to see.

Just don't bother. Report them. Move on.

Am I alone in thinking this way?

I beileve in God and submit to him, but i do not beleive that jesus is God. I do believe jesus is the SON of God, but just that, nothing more.

I beleive that jesus died on the cross, and God rose him from the dead three days later, ect. ect. but as jesus said he was the son of God i beleive that he is the "son" of God and not god,

Does it say anywhere in the Bible (OT OR Tanakh bible only please) that Gods son was going to be God himself? Or that when Gods son reveals himself that we should Worship him?

Oh and the Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible.

which is different from the old testament.
the old testament is only a portion of the Tanakh.

There is a senior citizen home close near our home. I put an ad on the bullentin board in the rec hall looking for lawn care help. Well with the expenses of the home a LOT of people called me to inquire about the position. I told them to come by and I would show them the yard and we would discuss the price and what I expect to be done from who ever I decide to hire. Well I have hired MANY of them,..they will work for peanuts and most of them have never complained and the other day my wife noticed that "Dennis" one of the workers was out in the yard raking and mowing the 1 acre lawn we have (He is 74) She was mad at me because she noticed I had been laying on the couch watching TV and drinking beer while "Dennis" was out sweating and panting. Seems he got a bit dehydrated..I provide the water..I cannot force to the people to drink it. SO she is mad at me now? What gives? I am providing a valuable service to the seniors of our community..I am afterall paying them minimum wage.
