Society & Culture - 29 December 2006

At my school, they find the Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings to be the only things with symbolism that involve witchcraft on the same lines of Harry Potter. Now, I'm not saying that there isn't symbolism in those movies, and I'm also not trying to offend anyone, but don't you think that they could have less of a " we're right and you're wrong" attitude, and have more of a " To each his own convictions'' attitude? At our school we are taught that if we feel it is a sin to were jeans, that we should not were jeans, that is a conviction. If we aren't convicted that the Harry Potter books and movies are wrong, should they really treat us like we should have an exorcism for mentioning the words "Harry Potter?"
Please let me know your true feeling about what I have just wrote. Thanks

What would you do if you found that you have already accepted the mark of the beast? How do you really know?

I do agree that the globalization now taking place is a sign too big to dispute, but haven't most 'christians' already taken this mark upon themselves. How many really can claim to truly not own a credit card, driver's license and bank account?

So, what truly is the mark? And is there truly any way to avoid it? Are there any pockets of people living in a way that is free of it? (excluding non industrialized nations)

This past summer I was at an amusement park, and these two guys cruised ahead of me and several other people in line.

The only people who said anything were two middle school-aged girls standing behind me. I thought that was kind of funny.

The two guys didn't even look back either, btw.

Weird crushes. We've all had 'em. What's your most cringeworthy?

I thought I'd ask this banal, shallow question as a distraction from the 99 billion ongoing threads about Saddam. (Which is of course a very important subject, but there's only so many times you can see the same question repeated without going nuts.)

about ten years ago i was walking to school with my friends. there was a church about 500 feet away next to my school.the church had a tall pole like figure sticking up in the sky.me and my friends noticed at the tip there was a star, in broad daylight. once we got next to the church and looked up again, the star was gone. was this a sign from God, or was it just a coincidence?

If you think about it we made up time, for convince reasons. If we celebrate the New Years we are really celebrating something we made up. Why do we celebrate it when for a fact every second that passes is a second closer to our death. sorry to be a Debbie downer but it's the truth. why are you celebrating 2007?

Years ago things were less complicated and less busy and I had such a zeal and passion for God and I LOVED going to church I was the first to get there and the last to leave.

But of late since 2001 I have not had the passion and the zeal for God that I would like to have like I did back then.

God has blessed me and I want in turn to bless and encourage others.

However I would like to have more zeal and enthuisiam when it comes to going to church and there have been some people in my church who have been very demanding of me, have not ministered to me in my time of need, and basically are the first to take from me but the very last to give in return.

I have not been excited or enthused about church in a long time and I feel badly because it is a prildige to go to church, How do I reenew my mind in this case and start to go ahead in my Christian walk?

I think it is not right to think that because God is not human and will never be, so he cannot have children. Jesus was a messenger to people to give them the word of God. Nothing more than a messenger given the power to revive the dead.

I think it is such a bad thing to think that, to think God is an average person like you and me. He is more powerful than human comprehension.
