Is it true that Jewish men do not give "promise rings" to their girlfriends? I happen to be Jewish and really have not heard of that "rule".

There are more concerning things in life that we need to address
like the way are selfish life styles are affecting/imposing on innocent animals ......it makes me sick
How can we as humans not figure out how to fix the lives we have now and of the humans out their starving and until we do that we should only adopt.......It shocks me that People /weirdos care about abortions but don't care if the child is starving when it is born
Anyone who says humans are more important than innocent animals is a coward ...Because all living life is important ...HELLO
PLEASE NO SELFISH CHRISTAIN COMMENT

Why cant we fix the mess we have on this earth right now instead of adding more humans to it ...Isn't 6 billion people enough

ONE THING I REALIZED IS THAT HUMANS ARE INNOCENT WHEN BORN BUT GROW UP TO BE NOT SO INNOCENT
BUT ANIMALS STAY INNOCENT FOREVER

I am a father of 2 adopted beautiful girl and boy ...And 2 HEINZ 57 Dogs and.....1 Cat who adopted me
And i love all the above EQUALLY

that because of Adam and Eve, we are all sinned from birth even though we haven't done anything wrong ourselves?
That's a load of bull. It's just a way to get people to Baptise their babies. I think children should be old enough to decide if they want to be Baptised.

Sorry for the re-post, but I realized that this would be easier and more accurate for people to answer if I explained myself...

I love a guy, and my sister hates him. We were together, but not anymore because my family seems to disagree with that. But my sister and her husband of all of them seem to hate him the most. I've noticed that they would rather me hate this guy than love him. We're Reformed Christians, so that kind of made me think...hence the question: Is it worse to love something bad or hate something good?
Since they don't seem to think he's good.
Although that might be a matter of opinion..

i am a maried man and have 3 children, i pray, go to church but everytime in my life when i am ready to reach the end of the tunnel, everything has to go back like before. if i have a job after 3 years i have to loose it (laid off or asked to resign) and always happen when my wife is pregnant. 3 children 3 losing jobs. We have to struggle again but always keep faith in God, next job is always better than the previous one. Today i am on my lay off # 4 after 3 years again. Why? Does God is trying to show me something that i still don't understand? What i need to do? Is there any interpretation to this? Please help me and my family. Is there a special prayer for me?

I lost faith in Christianity 8 years ago and am now an atheist, but sometimes my dad wants me to go to church with him.

There are certain things I'm not comfortable doing, because it feels like lying. For example, I think it's wrong to recite the Nicine Creed if I don't believe it, and I think taking communion means I'm making some kind of promise or pledge that I don't want to make.

Last service, they said that the BAPTISED may to take communion, while the UNBAPTISED may come and accept a blessing instead. Does that mean it's fine for an atheist to come up and accept a blessing during communion?

What does it mean when you take communion or a blessing?

What does it mean when you recite the Nicine Creed or the Lord's Prayer?

What does it mean when you say "Amen" in response to something?

What prayers in a normal Church service shouldn't a person say if they don't really mean it? For example, I really think it's a bad lie if I recite the Nicine Creed, but fine to sing most hymns.

I have said the prayer asking Jesus into my heart and to take over my life but, I have never felt any different. I mean, I don't feel Him changing me in any way. When I pray I feel like I'm talking to the air around me. I read the bible often and I'm not any closer to Him or God. I try to be a good christian but that doesnt work either. I get more depressed. It's like They don't want me, so I give up. I even started searching other means to spirituality(gnosis christian) for some guideance and I'm not sure about that either. I do believe in a higher power and that I didn't come from apes. If someone could help out I would be appreciated.
