Society & Culture - 7 June 2007

I am a new Christian and I'm so glad Jesus saved me. I went to church growing up but didnt have a personal walk with the LOrd and i really am a babe in Christ. I have such a hunger to serve Jesus. At midweek service last night I felt really impressed by God to be a witness for him especially to my unsaved boyfriend. I havent yet made real friends at church. This's hard to do. My boyfriend is an athest and I couldn't invite the ladies from the church over and expose them to that. He's real smart and can make you feel like the dumbest person alive and be so polite about it that you just feel guilty for taking up his time with bein so dumb. i feel the Lord is telling me this is my call that he's given me, that I have to be a witness for him and bring my bf to Jesus. I feel such an ache in my heart and worry about the rapture coming and Jack being left behind. When I got home from church I cried and sought God. Jack doesnt try to stop me from church anymore but doesnt believe.

with a bible verse. Is this weak or just a lack of confidence in what you have to say? You will never convince an Atheist or Agnostice or other non believers by quoting bible verses and your fellow Christians already know them so why do you do it?

This is a follow-up to my question last night, sorry but I cant really see the logic.

They do not allow blood transfussion but why are they eating meat? You cannot extract the blood 100% out of the meat even if you cook it for hours..The blood was just cooked, it is still blood.

Any explanation on it?

If not, what does excommunication mean to you? Does it not mean damnation?

Being a sales rep, I am on the road a lot, on a daily basis I always see senior citizens on the road going 20mph in a 55mph zone or pulling out in front of traffic like they are the only people on the road.I understand they want their independence, but if it is putting other citizens lives in danger, they need to swallow their pride and hang up the car keys . Is there any states out there that require senior citizens to retake road tests after a certain age?

Presumably not a monument to ignorance such as the "creation museum". Any suggestions on how the money could have been better spent?

My last 2 questions were about abortion versus adoption of a specia needs child. I would like to explain why I asked these things.
I have a nephew who has autism and to me he is coolest most awesome kid I know. I know he has autism yet thats not who he is...he is just this awesome kid.
His mom/dad and him recently moved to a really small town and it is very religious. These people have something to say about everything considered ethical and all sit at the local cafe and talk about it.
With my nephew they have gawked and said things that they dont think people here. It breaks my heart. So thats why I wondered. I wondered why these people dont see him "as a gift from god" and then I wondered "how many people would choose to take on a child with disabilities..or maybe this once abortion would be ok to them"
I also wonder why are there so many kids that I work with in foster care or awaiting adoption. I work in Special Ed by the way. I hear arguements against abortion but no one

Okay I mainly see some white guys dating black &asian women, but are they daoing it because they really like her or is it to get a rise out of white women?
When a white guy is out with a woman of another race I notice that they hardly speak or even acting stuck up or something...like a white woman did something to him or something....it's so obvious why he's dating her!

In theory, I'd say Robin Hood. The guy who plays Robin Hood on the BBCA channel is hot.

Though Link from Zelda is hot, for a cartoon character.

The manga version of Mamoru from Sailor Moon is pretty sexylicous himself.

John 5

21For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

Have you studied it in detail?

I find it cute how Christians here often reference me to the Bible, while clearly showing ignorance of basic theology, soteriology, etc.

I cheated, I was an evangelical for a few years in college. I've read the whole Bible a few times (even the profoundly boring bits, like Numbers and everything from Isiah to the NT), sentence diagrammed my way through the NT looking up almost every word in the original Greek for cultural context, and own perhaps a dozen translations, commentaries, etc.

I smile every time someone asks me "have I read the Bible" and proceeds to tell me "you will believe in God if you do."

Matthew 10

28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny[d]? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

I'm just curious here. I notice there are a TON of questions each week of people asking if vampires are real...and alot of those seem to be pleas for someone to turn them. I'm just curious, why? Is it the classic "i want to be young and gorgeous and insanely powerful forever" thing? I mean i've been fasinated with vampires since i was little..ok actually i was scared out of my mind of them since i was prob 2 ( how i knew about them that young..idk)...lol...but i always wonder about the other people who ask about the vallidity of them. I really would love to find a real one, if they do exist, just to say to myself "see!" but i know i'm prob alone in that lol... so tell me people who have asked....what the reasoning behind it?

You know, the parts that clearly illustrate that God must be the Creator of the universe, because how else could he know so much stuff?

Mine:

Joshua's long day, which clearly shows God's comprehension of a heliocentric solar system, not to mention gravity.

And....bats are birds.

What are some scientific facts that you have stumbled upon while reading the Bible?
