I have always known they can't be married but recently I talked to someone who referred to a priest and his wife. Are there priests in other religions? Thanks for the help

In Colossians 2:8-9 we read; Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

For in him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Matthew 28:18 we read; And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, "All" power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

With all the events taking place in the world, we hear the word God being mentioned throughout our news media.

However, with the combinding of just these two verses doesnt it tell us the Jesus is running the show now?

In the U.S. we have had laws changed over the course of time. Prohibition being one, and that Slavery was outlawed in the 19th century. In other words, certain circumstances changed what laws need to be followed.

The same is true for the Bible. When Christ came, the old testament law was changed as we are now under the law of grace, rather than following the Mosaic laws for the sake of following the laws.

To state that we pick and choose which verses to follow and not to consider that certain verses were written prior to Christ's death and resurrection means that you do not understand the concept that events can shape which laws and verses apply to today.

As critics of the Bible, have you considered this factor of time and circumstances shaping our beliefs.

Or do you say that the US laws are irrelevant because we once allowed slavery and then later abolished it?

I heard that in Sweden most 16 year olds detest the thought of having sex and they have next to no sex education. does sex ed help our kids to want to have sex at earlier ages or something, cos we apparently have the highest teen pregnancy rates and STIs in europe!

Is he a human imbued with demonic powers? Is he a human imbued with God-like powers? Is he a demon? Is he an angel? If he is an angel or imbued with God-like powers, why doesn't he help people instead of confusing them.

I was severely injured and will be disabled for life. I received my social security statement and it says that I earned enough credits to qualify for disability for about $700/month.

I am disabled for life so can I receive disability for life?

Late night, feeling blue because yesterday the people who do these things came to take away my old tom cat, which I loved, I read, online, the Sermon on the Mount, one of this nonbeliever's favorites in the King James Version of the Bible. I am a man who knows himself pretty darn well, and it amuses me to think that I also know a thing or two about the broad spectrum of the human species--and, dear hearts and bold chaps, I'm thinking that some of you who contribute to this site really ought to take the Beatitudes to heart. Jesus is lacking in more than a few of the posts by self-proclaimed Christians here, don't you think? Also, the writing is beautiful and alone worth your time.

I grew up in the late 90s-early 2000s when it was considered a fashion sin to wear fur and their were a lot of PETA protests about fur. But in the recent years I've notice PETA doing more drastic stuff against people who wear fur and other animal skins. Funny how they never complained about leather or wool. But anyway, I grew up with the beleif it's wrong to wear fur but not neccessarily leather. I don't have any money really so I don't own any animal skinned clothes, except maybe leather boots (and those are probably fake). Anyway, I too love animals and I attempted a vegetarian diet about 3 years ago and only lasted a year on it. But after reading something about some guy who ate a corgi to protests the hunting rituals the royals do and also reading articles about PETA actually euthanizing cats and animals in private. I really, I'm starting to move to the other side, like supporting someone's right to hunt, fish, or wear fur. Which, I have to admit, I'm on the fence about that.

I occasionally attend Catholic church and like the basic beliefs behind the religion. But I don't like all of the old and seemingly outdated rituals that go along with it. Is there a "new" or reformed Catholic religion? I really like how Catholic church is more somber and a time to quietly reflect, rather than loud and exciting like a lot of modern churches.

Isn't that a violation a violation of "thou shall not murder"?

I'm specifically talking about the old testament stories about the slaughter of innocent Canaanites that your god commanded the Israelites to do...

does anyone here find it suspect that manytelevangilists expect you to give 10% of your income to them in the name of "God's works"? why so much? why do they give the answer that "god will provide" when theres a possibilty that whatever happens to you as a result is pure dumb luck? I see evangelists walking around in custom suits, driving expensive cars and living in mansions and it makes me sick! you want to know where the majority of your 10 % goes? look at these bastards! aren't the "treasures in heaven", not on earth? how does someone like this moralize and regurgitate these lines to someone when they are wearing a rolex and gucci? how can they take advantage of those who are truly desperate, look them in the eye and say these things?

Can someone please translate this to Spanish? Thank you.

I have always felt that my heart and mind were a game to you. You knew yesterday that I had a very bad day, yet you still told me that story and left me worrying all night. I could tell you were joking, but I also wondered if it could be true. Yesterday I was upset because you think that I can't understand you or see you. It is unfair because you and I are equals, yet if I did what you did yesterday, you would be very mad at me. I don't know if you think it is okay to caress others in front of me, but what about when I am not around you? I can do the exact same thing, but I wouldn't do that because I don't want another guy. Every day that is my problem and at times I hate the way I look, sometimes for you. I don't like my body or my face or whatever but I can't change that. I can't be any better or prettier for you. I can only control how I am on the inside. I know I shouldn't let others affect how I feel about myself
