This dude asked me to spot him, when it's clear he doesn't need any help lifting.

What's the deal?

Should we censor the word witness or let our delicate ears hear such blasphemy?

DEFINITELY ..........."I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT....."IF I'M SMELLING WHAT I THINK I AM SMELLING" YOU WANT GET ANY PLEASURE FROM IT ....
"JUST SHAME, SHAME, SHAME"

i'ma Christian too but the rest of you can't go around sayyin "Yeee, if you accept Christ you'll be saved!" It's not that simple.

First off, Christ decides who's saved and who's not and garunteed a ton of Christians are gonna be dissapointed when they realize that just cause Jesus died for our sins doesn't mean we can keep sinning... and every Christian i know sins.

Secondly, accepting Christ is a good first step but you gotta follow through and become an intrinsically good person and restrain from sinning...

I'm not 'speaking on Christs' behalf i'm merely pointing out that it takes abit more than just claiming that you accept Christ as your savoir.

Cause in that case anyone can be like "Yahh, i'm cool with Jesus, i'm saved" and then they turn around and start harassing someone for fun.

They gotta be abit more thorough.

It seems to me that Jesus was probably rich and had nice garments if they were wanting them.

Okay so your in your downtown area of your city right, you come across a nice restaurant with your lady/guy whichever applies... But your not hungry, but your other is... You decide to go into the place and get a table for yourselves... Now the waiter comes and only your other orders right... She asks if you would like something, you say no... So the food comes and it looks good and you want to try it but dont want a big plate... Is it considered bad taste to have my lady slide the plate over for me to eat from it? And lastly, when i asked her for the price of the canned cokes, she told me 2 dollars, and i didnt say anything, but when she came back she told me she would just give me one... I got really upset because i thought she was thinking i was too poor to take the 2 dollar charge, and this wasnt the case.... Any ideas?

I know its a daily battle for me. Alot of times I am able to overcome it without telling anyone other than God, but sometimes I do need to talk to my brothers and sisters in Christ......It really depends on what I'm worried about. I know God is powerful enough to take it all away, but I think he wants us to go to our brothers and sisters in Christ in times of need. How do you deal with worry?

this was an answer from another user of why we need religion for today, as if fabric of society would fall apart without it...as if we are seeing holy and perfect world in it's current state under religion's grip

and what is this "structure" anyways....

Pavlov's conditioning? tradition and habit so they never know why to believe, but just do, and not understand scriptures and just mindlessly believe, seeing the bible is full of felony acts and crimes that if done today, the Heroes of the Bible would be in Maximum Security Prison?

What, if anything, do you think should be changed in respect to the immigration policy/naturalization process currently practiced by the federal government?

Note: This question is directed toward people of faith to gain spiritual perspective on the issue.

Shouldn't Jesus' behavior be an example of how we should live? Jesus says we should follow the ten commandments. Yet the gospels say he himself lied (Matthew 24:34, John 7:8-10), stole (Mark 11: 1-3, Matthew 8:28-34), dishonored his parents (Luke 14:26), and broke the sabbath (Mark 2:23-27).

If you say he's doing away with the OT law, then why does he instruct us to follow the commandments (Matthew 19:17-19)?

I read that time and time again on this forum.

There is NO scientific evidence that is contrary to evolution having occured.

NONE

I challenge you to prove otherwise.

For example, if you were raised as a Christian, are you still a Christian?

If not, why did you decide to change?

If so, do you think you would follow that religion if you hadn't been raised with it?

Honest answers please, just to satisfy my own curiosity.

How do you get your toddler (23 1/2 months old to be precise) to sit down and be quiet gently during the meetings? I tend to lean toward gentle discipline, and my baby is extremely hyper. (AD/HD runs strong on both sides of his family, so...) The last time I went to the meeting, I made him promise to be quiet, but I sat in the back room while he crawled around. I want him to get something out of the meeting, but I know first hand how hard it is to sit still, so I can only imagine how hard it is, with him being a toddler. I figured, at least he was quiet. He likes to pretend to give talks, so he gets some out of it. But he is just to mobile and loud when he sits at the seats. Is it wrong that I take him to the back so much so he can move around and express the energy he has? I would appreciate any gentle suggestions. Thank you!

(Trolls will be blocked and reported.)

if all became believers, would then religion go away? don't religions HAVE to have it's sinners and it was never designed to actually convert or save all?

For True Christians ONLY? Do you know WHY....... They...... Mock..... Christ Jesus... and His Word... The Bible?

Do you know... IT WILL GET WORSE......?

(1Peter 4:12-13-14) Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial = = which is to try you, = = as though a strange thing happened to you,

(1Pe 4:13) but rejoice according as you are partakers = = of Christ's suffering, = = so that when His glory shall be revealed, = = you may be glad also with exceeding joy.

(1Pe 4:14) If you = = are reviled for the name of Christ, = = you are blessed, = = because the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you. = = Truly according to them, = = He is blasphemed, = = but according to you He is glorified.

Here is the EVIDENCE.... http://www.thedcl.org/christia/f/foxejohn/maryters/martyrs.html

They will Continue .... To Mock GOD... and His WORD!

Do you remember HOW SACRED....'THEY'.. were After "9-11"?

HOW... will it be for the Mockers... when JESUS RETURNS?

Thanks, RR
