Why is this offensive? My mother is a hardcore Christian and writes "X-mas" for her shopping list and other things. Does this mean she's going to Hell?

Mark 12: 28- 29

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus(PBUH) had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"

"The most important one," answered Jesus (PBUH), "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.


Why did he not say three or two right there, why did he say one??? He had a chance no? he could have said the holy spirit, me and God?

If I was more religious, could I use the "Do as I say, not as I do" technique to get what I want?

Ie, I could kill people and say it was okay for me to do it, but not for my followers.

Is that ever okay?

Christmas

I am very excitable and very hyper right now. I just found out I got a job transfer and I am so happy and on a "high" if you will (no I dont take illegal drugs) Yesterday I was so wound up I took my mediaction early and took a nap to calm me down.

What are ways you stay clam, peaceful and relaxed and how can I just "tone it down" a bit I was bouncing off the walls at my parents a little bit today.

My hearts desire is to serve the Lord and glorify God and live for him. I am just a little or should I say a lot jittery.

I am very excited about what the Lord is going to do but I dont want to overstate things and be over powering and overdo things.

Thank you for your answers and may the Lord richly bless you and prosper you in Jesus see Psalms 20:4

There have been a string of break-ins in my neighborhood (including my parents house), which prior to was unheard of when it came to things like this. Today, the burglars taped a note to the front door saying that they would be soon returning for everything else. Granted, we have taken all the necessary safety, security, and legal precautions. Yet, this is foreign to us. I am sooooo stressed. It is such a hassle to have to worry about the well-being of your loved ones minute for minute. I'm about to pray for peace of mind and safety. I ask that you pray for me and my family also please. I believe in the power of prayer. Pray for us. Thank you.

When does the spirit ascend to heaven after passing on. Does it lay in a sleep state until resurrection day or does it go to heaven or where ever immediately?

fellow christians. I have a question that has been bugging me for awhile. I know jesus died on the cross to pay an atonement of blood for our sins. but how was it a sacrifice if he was sentenced to death. not an act of volunteering? he was crucified by the jews because they said he was being blasphemous, so how was it a sacrifice if it wasnt his choice to die?

I mean, if there is a god, why doesn't he take action on people, why doesn't he help people when they need it? But the devil on the other hand, does take action, he posseses people, so shouldn't we be on his side since we actually know that he does stuff to people here on earth? I mean, I seriously doubt any of us has seen "god" in action...But im pretty sure we've all at least heard of satan taking over people's minds...

This is a quick vote on www.cnn.com
And this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard in my entire life!! It makes me so sick that someone might even suggest anything like that!

May be we should stop celebrating Christmas...
because if we do... we might offend somebody!

Whenever anyone here posts a question that people perceive to be anti-christian, that Christians quickly get on the defensive and are quick to condemn you. Is that what your God teaches, to be intolerant of the beliefs of others? I wonder how many hate messages I'm going to get this time from so called "Christians?"
