Why is it so easy for us, Yahoo! Answerers, to pass judgement on everyone who brings their issues to the site? You have fat people giving out diet tips, adulterers telling the importance of integrity in relationships, and parents who would kill their daughter for bringing a black man home saying that racism is bad. Is it that we Americans get off on seeing other peoples' problems to make us feel better about ourselves?

Let's see some intelligent and thoughtful answers. Happy New Year!

I wouldn't think that god would require anyone to give a percentage of your salary to anyone not in need. I've always heard growing up that church is in the heart. so why does one need to have this physical place of worship in order to be fulfilled?

I admit to having stolen this quote from Susan, but this is what Saint Valentine was all about

The story of Valentine's Day begins in the third century with an oppressive Roman emperor and a humble Christian Martyr. The emperor was Claudius II. The Christian was Valentinus.

Claudius had ordered all Romans to worship twelve gods, and had made it a crime punishable by death to associate with Christians. But Valentinus was dedicated to the ideals of Christ; not even the threat of death could keep him from practicing his beliefs. He was arrested and imprisoned.

During the last weeks of Valentinus's life a remarkable thing happened. Seeing that he was a man of learning, the jailer asked whether his daughter, Julia, might be brought to Valentinus for lessons. She had been blind since birth. Julia was a pretty young girl with a quick mind. Valentinus read stories of Rome's history to her. He described the world of nature to her. He taught her arithmetic and told her about God.

One for all the Bible-scholars, especially any end-time believers. Genuine question this - I know I could research it, but I figured you might be able to help me out.
Armageddon...what are the universally agreed things that have to happen before the final battle. Would be cool to get interpretations of the scriptures, rather than just the verses themselves, though the verses would be cool too. Thanks.

If she didn't have more children then it's likely she remained a virgin her whole life, after all, she wouldn't have had sex for the fun of it (only to procreate).... and I'm sure Joseph was more than mildly annoyed. "I know our son is the savior, but come on!!!!!!!!!"

If she had children, they'd be Jesus' half-brothers and sisters... and are the descendents alive today? Most Likely

Then God said, "Let us make humankindc in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth,d and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."

God had help creating mankind? And what does God mean by "our image" and "our likeness"? Hmmmm?

We had been best friends for 8 years. I always bought her gifts and stuff, shared what ever I had, etc. After 2 years of friendship, I started to really love her. For the first 2 years, I only viewed her as being a friend, but suddenly it changed. I started being there through her relationships with guys who screwed her and I got angrier than she did when they hurt her in some way or form and jealous at the guys. I told a couple of her boyfriends off, because at the time I just felt like one had cheated on her and did not deserve her and the other disrespectfully would look at her friends butts as they passed him. Basically what happened is one night I got drunk and started telling people that I was bi at a bar and she found out. I came clean about being bi. She wanted to know whether I had a crush on her. I kept saying no, even though, I did, fearing what she would think. Anyway, she decided that I did have a crush on her and did not want to have anything to do with me ever.

I have an opportunity to help and organization with a very good community project. The problem is the organization has also done a lot bad things as well. As examples should you help a tobacco company in a community project? Or help the Catholic Church in a community project even though both these organization have done terrible things and covered them up? Does the opportunity to help out weigh who you are working with or is this "Supping with the devil?"

I met this girl who lives in Mexico. I sent her an e-mail and she replied within one day. So I sent a reply to her. It has now been 5 almost 6 days and she still hasnt written back. I just wanted to know if the Mexican culture was more relaxed with contact or if it has anything to do with it at all. Thanks for the replies.

So, evidence cannot solve things if there is so much contrary evidence.

Is this G-d saying "I will decide who comes to me and who doesn't" ??

Is this just an issue of the heart?

I believe its a heart thing. We all think open minds are wonderful. I feel faith comes from an open heart. You either have one or you don't.

And for the record, I love atheists and other faiths. G-d desires them more than He desires me. Fellow Christians, don't mock the potential next generation of repentant hearts! If love is not on it, stay silent.

So....should we just can all the "evidence" ??

Blessings to all for a wonderful 2007.
