Society & Culture - 2 June 2007

seriously, im not knockin' anyone here but i realize most people use the R&S forum as a way to mock christianity, does anyone know of any other forums that christians can go to and give answers and advice to those individuals who truly have a receptive heart to seek the lord, thank you , and may God bless.

THE FIREMANS PRAYER

When l am called to duty god,
where-ever flames may rage,
give me strength to save some life,
whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child,
before it is too late,
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert and to hear the
weakest shout,
and quickly and efficiently,
to put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and
to give the best in me,
to guard my every neighbour and
protect his property

And if according to my fate,
l am to lose my life,
please bless with your protective hand,
my children and my wife.




ok so it aint a question, but theres 10pts up for grabs for the best comment

If The DaVinci Code is based on poor historical research and implausible speculation, the Left Behind series is similarly based on implausible interpretations of the Book of Revelation that ignore the most likely meaning of the text, historical context, and other crucial considerations. If you are going to be critical, please be self-critical too!

Especially online like on boards. Whenever there's a question and something about God pops up, there's always one guy who has to say his piece to start an argument or..........I guess they think it makes them smart. Like when I used to post on Gamefaqs.com, there was a topic that was something like "Do you think _______ would go to hell if he/she died?" (forgot who they were talking about). And sure enough some jack@$$ comes in and says "Fictional beings aren't judged by fictional things." And another said "Well, since hell or heaven doesn't exist, no." Come on, if you wanna belive we live crappy lives to rot in the ground, fine. Let everyone belive what they want stop with the snotty comments and all that talking down to us crap. (by the way, I'm a chatholic)

If you are a Christian and you could be persuaded it is the end times and that there will be a post-tribulation rapture, would you take up arms and fight your non-Christian fellow citizens?

There's this girl at my college and she has really, really huge breasts. It's to the point to when people see them and they're either amazed, disgusted, or both. She has a condition that made her breasts get too large. When I first seen her, I was amazed, because she had her jacket zipped and I though she was very overweight, until she unzipped of course. I talked to someone I know about her, but he tells girls secrets to get props, and somehow it got back to the chesty girl. Now I'm used to her because I've seen her so many times. But now she looks scared whenever I walk by, gives me a disgusted look and she tries to cover her breasts when she walks by me. It's not like I'm still trying to cop a look at her breast anymore, so she makes me feel angry for making such a big deal when she sees me. I'm not a f*cking rapist! I don't even look in her direction anymore because I get p*ssed off from her reactions. What should I do? Should I be angry?

Jesus orders his followers to kill in his name.

Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."

Before I read this passage, I had some respect for Jesus. Now it is apparent that Jesus did not respect human life. If you wanted to earn salvation through merit, treating Jesus as an ally instead of submitting to him, Jesus would have you murdered.

Jesus got exactly what he deserved on that cross. Good game.

At the time of writing a Y!A search brings up 4650 results for "hate america".

Many questions ask why the woprld hates USA, but with the amount of anti - world (esp. anti Mexican) questions posted by Americans, isn't it obvious?

Yes illegal Mexicans shouldn't sneak into the US, but what about the ones, who ARE legal, who just want a better life for themselves and their families, and who pay taxes and abide by the law - what gives YOU the power the subject them to a torrent of abuse and insults?

By an internationalist (but who sometimes loses his temper with US comments on this site!) social democrat!

That is, more on the Scriptures than the heart, much like the Pharisees were accused of doing?

Should this be done only if you have met the lady previously and are acquainted? If not,m when then?
And where should the kiss be placed? On the fingers, the knuckles or the top of the hand opposite the palm?

My fellow Christians I see some of us on here with the attitude that some are not "Christian" enough. I ask that you think on this... When we ask, think or accuse others of not being Christian enough how is that different form how the Muslims curse each other. Muslims are killed by other Muslims every day for not being Muslim enough. I suggest if you see a brother or sister struggling you just pray for them.
I love you guys.
