I went to walmart and noticed that when you walk in you have to go in through the Left side. Why? If when we usualy enter a building you enter through the Right side?

And how do you distinguish self-righteous service from true other-centered service?

NOTE:
Jesus made it clear that servant-hood is an integral part of the Christian life: "Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many" (Mt. 20:26-28).
This shows us that Servant-Leaders exemplify by being effective servants. [Servant-Leader = One who serves their fellow man in accordance with the Bible, and leads them to righteousness when they are wanting to know more about God and His Word].

Blessings, Love & Peace 2 U All !!!

contradictions.. It's radiculous that Noah lived for over 600yrs.
Verse after immediate verse contradict each other about "life-span" of the flood to the extent that the story end up not making sense at all. If this was a prelude to the big salvation day (crucifixion) then it's not impressive at all. So, it's no surprise that the big is so controversial.

Check these direct quotes from the bible (All from Genesis) -
7:11 - In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
7:17 - And the flood was forty days upon the earth;
7:24 - And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
8:3 - And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.


NB: Don't tell me to read the bible - make clear biblical quotes about Noah's ark and the flood

Isaiah 53: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Most spiritual traditions include music of some sort, from simple solitary chanting to grand choral masses accompanied by a full orchestra.

How does music spiritually effect you?

What kind or style of music connects you to the universe, to others, or to your conception of the divine?

How does the spiritual experience differ if you are a performer, as opposed to being a listener?

Am attending one of these new charistmatic churches, i was once a member of the church choir, we were once having a choir practice and a colleague of mine raised a song we all laughed but i went out because my phone was ringing, so this means it was a coincidence but the fellow taught is becus of the song she raised that made me laugh to the extend of me going out to laught the more. she reported it to our pastor and made me received some kind of talk from our pastor which i didn't liked it so i decided to stay in the house on the following Sunday, my pastor asked of me and he was told i didn't come to church so he assigned his wife to cancel my name from the choir, i accepted but all am trying to say is, they now want me back into the church choir which i've vowed to myself never to step foot in that choir because i couldn't get a fellow to defend me when they were putting all the blame on me. and for that matter, i've joined another church. is it the right thing to do. help, thanks

Most of us are used to being "at home" in our culture. But the desire to fit comfortably into the culture can propel us beyond "being in the world" to where—often unknowingly—we become more "of the world." Instead of being squeezed into the world's mold, instead of Gods's mold.

How do you, or have you, influenced the lives of people around you?

How are you a person who brings glory to God because your life is truly different from your culture?

How are you a transforming presence in the world around you?

I know atheists don't generally believe in the religious descriptions of these things but do you find them entertaining?

Did you ever complain while watching Spaceghost? The Green Goblin and Hobgoblin were two of the best characters in Spiderman and the Silver Surfer was the herald of Galactus, a godlike being.

Is the existence of such creatures beneficial for humanity if not for their moral and entertainment value?

Can't we all agree that sinning is just a state of mind depending on which religion you follow? I mean christians have their definitions of Sin and so do muslims.ect. but If you think about it the Dali Lama Never sins...ever the man is non violent and he is the complete model of sinless perfection. He doesn't even go around bragging about it like muslims and Christians do. I don't believe in any religion but when you say some one is a sinner isn't it just your personal opinion. Because I don't feel like I have ever "Sinned"

where the rich man ate well and never hungered a day in his life and poor Lazarus was laid at his gate just wanting to eat the scraps off his dinner plate. Now the rich man ended up in hell and Lazarus in Abraham's bosom (the Jewish meaning for heaven). At the end of the story the rich man asks Abraham to send Lazarus to his father's home becase he has 5 brothers to warn them about this place of torment so that they will not end up there as well when they die. "But Abraham said 'The Scriptures have warned them again and again. Your brothers can read them any time they want to.'
The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham, they won't bother to read them. But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will turn from their sins.' "But Abraham said,'If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't listen even though someone rises from the dead.'"
Jesus rose from the dead and many still didn't believe in him. and many will never bother to read the Bible.

Think about it. From birth we are told not to be racist, not to be mean or hateful. We go to school and every other race out there is out to destroy white people. We cannot fight back because that would be racist. All we can do is sit back and take it. I am not racist but am racist against racist people. All of these cheating white women, the wars across the globe, the majority of the KIA's being white. I guess everyone is for the failure of white people although we're probably the nicest race this planet has ever seen. Go figure!

Throughout the Scriptures, we repeatedly read, “Do not be afraid.” Yet many circumstances in life tempt us to take our eyes off God and focus on our fears.

How can we find fortitude when we face fearful things?

How can we continue to trust God when hope seems futile?

How does the character of God and the promises He gives us fortify our hearts against even the most overwhelming fears?

NOTE: I am not asking this because I am afraid of anything, I am asking this to see what other's answers will be to these questions.
