Society & Culture - 29 January 2007

The reason for this is that there are many testimonies of people who decided NOT to pay their tithes and financial problems began to surface in their lives...what could be reason for this?

Please consider these...tithing was part of the Law.Christians are not under the Law... Others reason that tithing was done before the Law was established...but one could respond that "But so were many rituals like animal sacrifices".Abel gave an animal sacrifice to God before the Law.

How did tithing permeate the N.T. life even if the bible says:

Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, FOR YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, but under grace.

Anyone is welcome to e-mail me if they want to.

(The main thing is not to find out if I believe in tithing or not...don't read too much on my words).

Simply answer the question using scriptures and testimonies.

Why is this world so fixated on looks? I don't believe in god but I feel like I'm being punished by life. Maybe I deserve to be. I'm not the greatest person in the world but I can't do anything anymore because I'm afraid to go outside. People will judge me! I just want to stay in bed and cry all day. Why do I have to be ugly?! Why do I deserve this?! I'm going to be a virgin forever because nobody even wants to be seen with me! I'm stuck like this forever and it pains me everyday. I can't deal with anymore. I don't even want to live anymore because everyday is pain for me! It's eating me inside like cancer and one day I feel like I'm just going to crack!! I can't deal with it, everyone treats me like a disease, and honestly, my personality is becoming like one because of how I am treated... WHAT CAN I DO!?

The idea of someone being burned and otherwise tortured FOREVER is the most sadistic thing I've ever come across. Do you buy it?

The other day as I was picking up my order at a fast food counter, the guy handed it to me and said: "Here you go, boss." It was somewhat disrespectful. Would that annoy you? How would you get even with the guy?

Hello everyone. The reason I ask is because I recieved a very negative answer to my completely innocent question, so you decide. Here is the link:

when all those non-believers are reeling in anguish after the Last Judgement?

Will God then send you to Hell for your un-Christian behavior? If he does, will it be meant as a warning to the others?

When you come to the US you have to choose your ethnic group
) white
) latino/hispanic
) asian
) native american
) black

Those ethnic groups are not interchangeable. You have to choose your side. If you're white or black and from Latin America at the same time, they make sure that you'll go to where you deserve: the latino/hispanic label.

It makes me angry how people from your country like to divide people in "ethnic groups" and then put a lot of characteristcs on each group.

Hispanics have a lot of children? So why the average number of children per woman in Spain is 1,3 and in Cuba is 1,6? (In UK is 1,7 and in US is 2,0). Hispanics must be Roman Catholics? So why in Uruguay 30% of the population is non-religious and in El Salvador 45% is protestant?

As if because I'm black I have to talk with an accent, or because I'm Hispanic I must be "family-oriented" and "spicy".

What did God do before he created Earth? I mean, if he has been around forever, he must have been doing something before he decided to create people an all. So what was he doing??? Please answer

I just answered a question about a touching teacher- hands on shoulders, "min-hugs," etc. I know that there are people out there who are simply affectionate. As adults, they seek out hugs, are ok with holding hands with family members and other innocent touching... My 21-year-old brother is one, and I'm pretty darn sure he's not sexually perverted- he's still VLC!

So my question is- why do so many assume that someone who is simply tactile (is a "touch-er) is also a pervert?

Did you always hold the beliefs that you currently do, even though your parents insisted that you follow theirs instead? Or do you now believe in something different than you did back then?

There are many words in the Bible, and others to reference them. What I am wondering is what Neo-Paganism is, and if that is an offshoot of Paganism or not. I have been told that just because a group chooses a different prefix to aff to a name, that they should still be considered the root name. Why do you believe or disbeleive this about Neo-Paganism?
