Whether you make a pact with lucifer or god it's the same thing in essence, why do christians believe there's a difference?

I'm a nineteen year old, bisexual male. While the coming-out process was a difficult one, everyone in my life was very supportive. But, now that the process is a year past, I find myself being hit with questions of which side I'm going to choose. In recent times, I've been attracted to a larger proportion of men than women, but just because of this, I don't feel I have to align myself with either side. But now I speculate about why it's sometimes difficult for bisexuals, because they could be subject to prejudice from the gay community and from the heterosexual community. So what do you think? Is bisexuality a true orientation, or is it just a transitional/experimental stepping stone on the path of life, that one cannot remain on forever?

Our next door neighbor tried to sue us over something very petty. His case was thrown out of court but now he keeps spreading horrible lies about my family in my neighborhood. Those that know us also know he is full of c-r-a-p, but they also tell me when he has made up a new "drama" involving us that we have done to him lately. First of all we don't talk to the guy and haven't in months on the advice of a lawyer. Every other week it seems he has spread around a new different story about us. This week he told people we busted his car windshield out with an apple. Last couple of weeks he told people we were dumping trash in his yard. It's really crazy but the other neighbors say they don't really want to help by submitting anything in writing that he is spreading these rumors because they are afraid he will find something to sue them for as well. All we can do is ignore him and go about our business but is this man all there upstairs? I bought my house and I don't want to move.

How many of you knew that Islam believes (Quran states) on day of Judgment Jesus (pbuh) will be the only prophet ressurected?

This is what we believe.. we arent so bad after all!

1. Jesus (pbuh) was neither killed nor crucified.

2. Jesus (pbuh) was raised to God's presence.

3. The unbelievers were shown someone resembling him.

4. The unbelievers' ideas on this subject consist of conjecture and speculation.

5. He is a sign of the Day of Judgment.

6. God taught him the Book - in other words, the Qur'an - in addition to the Torah and the Gospel (God knows best).

7. The People of the Book will obey him when he returns.

8. Those who follow him will be made superior to the unbelievers until the Day of Judgment.

9. He will return to Earth as an adult and will speak to people.

10. He will die after he comes again.

For some odd reason I was wondering about this. Could you perform a ritual that would allow you to locate or sense some ones spirit?

Ok last year my church bought a bigger church in a closeby town. That church was a catholic church.. (mine is greek orthodox). Anyhow... There was a small grave yard (cementry) on that property just for people's pets. Now what is disturbing to me and alot of my church members is that pets were burried with a cross... What do you think about it? Are we supposed to censider animals as christians? I personally believe that jesus christ got crusified for the sins that humans commited.. Not animals!!! jesus did not walk the streets of jerusalem to preach for animals. I do believe animals do have spirits but not souls.. ( they are 2 diffrent things). Now honestly what do you think about this. Wouldnt you be disturbed to see people considring animals (pets) as christians or not? Animals DO not get baptised (as far as i know) and a person is concered a christian when he gets baptised. also they do not follow teh teachings of jesus christ. they do not go by teh 10 commandments.

Do you believe that people who don't believe in GOD, should't use American currency, because it says, "In GOD We Trust," which this country was established and built on Christian Beliefs?

The Jewish religion believes that no one can die for anothers sins. First, in Exodus 32:30-35, Moses asks God to punish him for the sin of the Golden Calf, committed by the people. God tells Moses that the person who committed the sin is the person who must receive the punishment. Then, in Deuteronomy 24:16, God simply states this as a basic principle, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sins." This concept is repeated in the Prophets, in Ezekiel 18 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die... the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." So how did Jesus die for our sins if the bible says no one can?

Also, the Jewish religion also believes that the messiah would not be god, but a human, and restore Israel, and be a great political leader.

I am so confused. How did these prophecies get so twisted around? Can someone pleaaaaase explain this to me?!

I've got this big stuffed dog, about 4 foot long, have not firgured out how to present it in the best way to this very close friend of mine. This comes a day after Christmas as I couldn't get back in town earlier.

I will be at her door tomorrow evening when she gets back from work, but this gift is still not wrapped. I don't know whether I should wrap it at all and if I should, I have no clue how to do it.

Right now I'm thinking about going to the Container Store with that stuffed dog and ask them to give me the biggest box that it can fit in, then wrap it up. Would you happen to have another brighter idea?

First assume that Heaven and Hell exists.

Given our general belief as follows:

Heaven - You do good deeds, you go to heaven
Hell - You do bad deeds, you go to hell.
God - Doesn't like bad deeds and wants to punish you and send you to hell
Devil - Likes bad deeds, won't punish you for bad deeds. He doesn't like good deeds.
God - Doesn't like Hell, Hates Satan.
Satan - Hates God, Doesn't like Heaven.

Given the above, if Satan hates God and Loves Bad Deeds and Bad People, and if Gods wants to Punish Bad People, technically shouldn't Satan reward bad people?
If Satan punishes people in Hell, then he's behaving like God. Doesn't make sense.
