For you people who don't believe in Jesus, this should answer your question about why there is bad on earth.God gave us free will.
I've also been told that I put doubts in peoples belief in God by asking question like, if God can do anything then can he make a square Circle.
Also,Can God make something so heavy that he can't lift it?
If the answer is yes then why can't he lift it?
I'm not trying to change anyone of there beliefs.
I'm just trying to say as for yourself is God going to be there to save us after we die.Believeing or not.
I think it would be safer to Go by the word of good that Jesus wants us to follow as simple as that ,rather then not believe at all.
Is it going to hurt to follow words plain and simple?Love for one another,forgiving sinners,kindness, patiance,and understanding.
I also know that there are those of you nonbelievers that still do good,and you call it human nature.This may erk you but God created human nature so you're still following his world.

Lately, I've been thinking. Religiously, it seems like it would be great, but then again no. I see so many people who can't get pregnant wanting babies left and right. I don't plan to have anymore of my own unless God decides that for me (please oh please no not right now my son is only 11 months!!!). I was thinking of being a surrogate, mainly because so many women I know who can't have children asked me. What do you think?

If we act afraid to say words are we not giving the word more power to destroy?
The word I used is most prevelent in western society although all over the place there are such words and when is it okay to say those words when its your own culture? How is this right?

Im hoping I get more than one or 2 of the same answer since I know not every non-christian is the same as another. But I was just reading a few threads of non-christians saying what Christians are like (most of it was a generalization) which included us being hateful, violent, better than everyone, retarded, and other colorful charecteristics. Now, I do sometimes see really nasty Christians here but there are a great deal of intelligent, compassionate and friendly ones too.

So what charecteristics do you personally look for to conclude "that person is a Christian"?

In the Epistle to the Romans 1:26-27 (TNIV), Paul writes

"Because of this [idolatry], God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

This has been described as "the most important biblical reference for the homosexuality debate" (Hilborn 2002, p.5). It is also the only explicit reference in the Bible to female homosexuality.

However, a minority of more recent interpreters (eg., Boswell 1980, p.109f; Vasey 1995, p.131f) argue that Paul does not have in mind a system of natural laws (as this is an Enlightenment concept) [2] and that "Paul did not discuss gay persons, but only homosexual acts committed by heterosexual persons" (Boswell 1980, p.109).

What are your opinions?

How do I tell the difference? Do I listen to the so called "true Christian", who judges another Christian by pointing him out as a "fake Christian", and with that judgmental act proves to be a "fake Christian himself?

I mean, it's truly complicated to separate the "real Christians" from the "fake Christians", really.

Is there a definition on both groups I could use?

who believes that the cook shouldn't clean? My mom always taught me that the cook should never have to clean, but it seems like no one else was brought up that way... or at least my husband wasn't...

I usually am the first to adopt technology..but I have always hated cell phones...it seems as if people ignore simple manners, are loud and rude. I have been forced to listen to peoples personal conversations on the train or in other public places...and besides...its like a big leash...everyone can get to you wherever you are....anyone else feel the same way?
(I know its not the technology, but the way we implement it..but still...)

There are tons of religions and belief systems. Which one do you think I should choose?

I want you to provide with tangible proof the existence of your reasons fro me to follow anything. Yes. This is a test.

I'm a lesbian, but girls seem to think I'm straight and guys are constantly asking me out. Even when I tell them I'm gay, they don't believe me and think I am just trying to blow them off. They then for some reason think that I'm playing hard to get, and keep on trying. Even now that I have moved far away, it is still a constant problem...What the hell am I supposed to do?

BTW, just as a funny sidenote, my little brother is so totally straight, but he has the same problem (people think he is gay).
