he's even made the far fetched claim ... that `the starting point with Christianity is a theology of social justice'

There's this guy at my gym, he's actuaaly a trainer there, and my problem, is the fact that I don't know if he's flirting with me or not.For instance, around christmas, he came up to me and asked me how my holidays and I told him it was okay, then he asked me, who did I spend it with.And then there was another occasion where he came up to me and told me I looked sad, and wanted to see me smile, and as I was leaving asked me when will I be back.I'm thinking , well maybe he's just being friendly, but he's always telling me to text message him for trainer sessions, and i told him several times, I'm a broke college student, and I cannot afford them, but he's still asking me to told me to call him for this free session, so I asked him why was he offering me the free session, and he said because he does it for people he connect with so anyhow, I finally showed up for the damn session but I was late, so he's like when can you come in and I told him next friday and he's like why so

Jesus said:

Not everyone who calls me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do what my father in heaven wants them to do. When the judgment day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me you wicked people!’ Mt 7:21-23


James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

What do you think?

Why exactly does it care so much that we believe and/or like it? Dosen't that seem just slightly petty for an omniscient being? Isn't creating whatever good enough for it?

So, yeah I'm a teenager. I've drank a few times. Once, it got really bad I ruined friends carpet and bedsheets, etc. by throwing up everywhere. I thought drinking was fun, and it's really not all it's choked up to be. Will it get any better? Will I have more fun with it as I get used to it, or as I mature more? Everytime I think of liquor I feel sick to my stomach, and I just laugh about what I did that night, but throwing up is awful. Are there any remedies to help you not throw up.. or what? I know those were alot of questions, but it would be nice if you could answer them ALL, if you can.

if there are other beings out there, are they created by God? or are they the more intelligent beings who created us.
I mean, the universe is near infinity, to exclude the possibility of the existance of other beings beside us is totally absurd, silly and ignorent. if the theory stands. What place then, for God? or is the God that all this while we worship to is what we call ALIEN? I know it sounds provocative and am not expecting any truth coz i believe nobody's qualified to give me an answer, nevertheless, tell me what do you think?

It would be nice to see this holiday given a bit more substance beyond shallow glitter-covered cards obligingly handed out to love/sex interests, don't you think?? What if we used it as an occasion to show some love to our fellow human beings? How could we do that?

In your opinion why does it appear that American Christianity has become the love child of Capitalism, individualism and greed. I have purused the ghettos of Christian television and have become appalled at the heresy.

Prosperity Preachers like Creflo Dollar, Jamal Bryant, Keneth Hagin, Oral Roberts and Fred Price and etc depict God as a grand slot machine; If you tithe to the church GOD will bless you with a Benz, Bentley, new house, car and more bling bling.

It seems that the thesis of there message is that to have those things are a sign of divine blessings and favor. DOES THIS POP-CULTURAL MESS BOTHER ANYONE BUT ME??????

Does it even bother anyone that these beautiful celebraty preachers who dress like characters on soap operas are not even smart and do not have earned accredidated degrees? Can't congregants make a case to sue them for spiritual malpractice? I think the gospel that they preach is the equavelant of spiritual homocide. (murdering the spiritually weak)

No cop out answers, like, "a gift from God". If you were given an entity or computer, and you could communicate with it, by what standard would you discern consciousness?

Why do they teach black history in every grade? I have 3 children and they teach the same black history in each grade, it never varies, you hear the same thing. If they are going to teach black history why don't they just remake our history books and include African Americans in the book instead of repeating the same things all the way through school? I'm not against them teaching it, i just don't understand why they can't just include it in normal teaching and make it a different issue per grade.

now I am not speaking of aquaintances, I mean actual friends?

If you are active in a religious body, is it intergrated?

I ask because it seems as small as the world has become,
the internet shows there are still a lot of negative stereo types
and racism. It appears many do not see others unlike themselves as people worthy of respect.

Also, would any of you care to invite me to e-mail you on occasion if I have questions? Through yahoo or not, it doesn't matter. My faith is being tested lately. I think I am learning way too much on line! Thanks.
