I have been helping my mom who has health problems since about September of last year. I am the baby out of a large family, lots of siblings. I live closest to my mom. But feel hurt and sadened none of them seem to really care about coming to spend time with my mom. "OUT of sight out of mind." In the mean time, I am watching her slowly die, and it is emotionally too much for me.
I have two small children and a husband to also consider, and feel overwhelmed when I know my mom spends so much time alone.
I do all her bills, shopping, cleaning, laundry, appointments etc... Plus take on my own responsibilities. I have no time for me. Let alone time with my family.
I feel resentful, but I know God would want me to do exactly what I am doing.
I feel bitter to my siblings.
And I feel weighed down.




Any advice, I appreciate.

Jesus is presented as being self-existent (John 1:4; 14:6); omnipresent (Matthew 28:20; 18:20); omniscient (John 4:16; 6:64; Matthew 17:22-27); omnipotent (Revelation 1:8; Luke 4:39-55; 7:14, 15; Matthew 8:26, 27); and possessing eternal life (1 John 5:11, 12, 20; John 1:4)."
Do all the above make sense to make Jesus part of the Godhead?

Now, I understand that there is a time and place for everything. Its not polite to walk into an elemtary school class and start cussing, or run around Harlem screaming racial slurs, because a lot of people would be offended. So is there really a freedom of speech? And what about wearing offensive shirts? If someone is offended, they could just look away and not buy that shirt. I don't like to offend people but Im just wondering about this. Doesnt freedom of speech technically cover everything?

as far as im concerned, the world isnt going to end anytime soon! global warming isnt going to end it(i dont underetand why many people think that is true LOL). in my opinion(based on knowledge too), the world is LITERALLY going to end once the sun starts to die.....all stars have lives...it is an astronomical fact. our sun is predicted to glow another 5 BILLION years (a very long time). once the sun gets older it will use up the hydrogen in its core and may expand in size, and it may get close enough to possibly eliminate the earth itself.

i was born and raised in a christan family. my dad was a deacon at the church and my mom volunteered when she could. i was just there. going to church was a chore to me. when i turned around 12 my mom bothered me non-stop about getting baptized. i gave in at 14 and got baptized, but for the wrong reasons.

im 17 and this year ive had a total make-over of my faith, i have a faith of my own now. my friends have helped me out alot including some teachers. but i always come back to one question, my baptism. was it real? if i died tonight where would i go? i did it for the wrong reasons, to get my mom off my back. i was pressured into at the time.

my family is against re-baptizing people. is there anywhere in scripture that it says its wrong? i want to do this, i want to do it for me, not for my mom, for me. i feel like something is missing in my life, and this is the missing puzzle piece. getting re-baptized for the right reasons. but why would my parents see anything wrong with it?

Liberal Christians drive me crazier than fundies. Why?
1-They think homosexuality is not a sin, while the Bible clearly states that it is. Some of them even lead a gay life and call themselves Christians.
2-They say that Evolution does not contradict Christianity. While the Bible tells you about Creationism, and that Humans were made in the image of God.

They really drive me crazy, especially when I criticize Christianity basing on the Bible, and they come up with interpreations of their own.
I mean ... on can interpret anything as he likes. Why don't you just keep your nose out when CHRISTIANITY Is concerned.

Here he is not the evil, corrupt, devil-inspired follower of Jesus who betrayed his master; he is instead Jesus' closest intimate and friend, the one who understood Jesus better than anyone else, who turned Jesus over to the authorities because Jesus wanted him to do so. This gospel has a completely different understanding of God, the world, Christ, salvation, human existence—not to mention of Judas himself—than came to be embodied in the Christian creeds and canon.

In choosing a 'leader', or 'role model', 'exemplar', etc, is one being true to one's self as such?

If one acts not in accordance with the truth of one's experience, runs one not the risk of following the falsehood of another's delusion, impressive, even intellectually coherant, though it might be?

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, given
Love is the law, love under will - love understood in the sense of assimilating one's own experiences per se, which of course includes the experience that others also exist - or should we all simply super size it and go for the Golden Arches position?

If I wanted to escape the ratrae and just do something totally different and learn about a different way of life, one of the things I would like to do is living with Amish people for a while.

Would that be possible at all?

I decided to watch star wars 1-6 i watched all of them in the new versions it kind of made me think did Lucas get the idea of star wars from Christianity, because in star wars the force created and binds the universe, and surrounds and is in all things, kind of like the holy spirit their is a good side then a bad side, and the light side kind of reminded me of the holy spirit while the dark side reminded me of Satan. and in the movies people are sercumed to the dark side by temptation and anger and greed ands lust kind of like Sin. ana Yoda and all the light side jedi reminded me of christians, and Anakin reminded me of a person who is not a christian or athiest, and both forces are fighting over that person, im not a star wars geek but i do think star wars the new ones are good well made movies. i was asking do you think george lucas got the idea of star wars from christianity.

Christians always claim the following verses ,for example, Jesus is called God in the phrase, 'Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior,Christ Jesus' (Titus 2:13; compare John 1:1; Hebrews 1:8; Romans 9:5; 1 John 5:20,21)."
But, do they really present Jesus as God?

Or at least as little as possible.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
