Why not make an appearance every now and them? Then the pretty much the whole planet would know they were real, and we'd be pretty peaceful. Why let all the wars and death go on when it could be fixed by a simple appearance? Don't say "you must have faith" because that doesn't answer the question. If a god were real, why would you need to have faith when you could have proof?

or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

(Genesis 6:7) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. (KJV)

(Genesis 6:7) and he said, "I'll destroy every living creature on earth! I'll wipe out people, animals, birds, and reptiles. I'm sorry I ever made them." (CEV)

Do you believe that it was religion that first made you question the existence of a supreme deity? If you had been taught that there was a loving creator who did not have any strings attached, like obedience, judgment, and punishment, would you have ever questioned His existence?

Or do you think that no matter what you were told as a child you would have always questioned the possibility of a supreme being because it is illogical?

This Question is for everyone, but i'm very curious to see how Christians Answer.

In the Bible God states that he is a Jealous God, it also states that Jealousy is a Sin. Does that make God a Hypocrite?

there are so many "undercover brothers"? I ask this because there was a time when AIDS was considered a "homosexual" disease, and that people that wanted a taste from both fountains could have possible made it a "anybody can get it" disease. But I want to mention the "undercover brother" because the other night I was bored and I was clicking on 360 pages to see if i can get around and back to the same person (you know a real 360 - this actually did happen by the way....) i noticed so many black men had 360's and all of their friends were men-AND they didnt really come out and say they were gay, some did but very few. On top of it some of these men really appeared to have the "thuggish look" the comments the other men left made it obvious they were gay. Do you think that this is why? or do you think society is just trying to make it look that way? Dont call me a racist I am 1/2 african american myself sooo...i just would like opinions (one's that are not ignorant-thank you)

prophecing when Jesus will return?.Jesus said in the last days there will be many false prophets decieving many. Just check out the heaven is so real website there is this guy going around telling christians when the rapture will take place (7th of july this year) and that 3 Atomic bombs will strick the US on the 16th of this month. A christians and her friend prayed to God about this and went silent before God and listend, and God toldd them that this prophet is not from him that satan is decieving him, and at one point he did belong to God. Amen know I know the truth. Are you aslo being decievd by them. They prophecy something, and when in does not come to pass we get disapointed. You know when as prophet speaks that is from God becasue it will come to pass.

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

...stand just aside of you, they are apparently 2-3 years younger than you, laugh and talk loud, and go where you go three times in a row.

If you dare to study the situation, they both respond with a look in the eyes and keep it as if they waited for you to react in some way. What to do from here?

Is it right to go forward and talk to unknown girls in a public place? Where's the line between that and harassment or disrespect of private life?

It's the year 300 CE. So we have the Hebrew Scruptures well defined, and the Isalmic movement is emerging in the middle east.

Both are based on the Abrahamic Covenant.

Then Christianity comes in and says "oh no the Covenant was with Jesus, he was BOTH
(1) the son of God, immortal, a divine being, and beyond human undestanding, AND
(2) in the lineage of Jewish Kings reaching back to abraham, ie a direct descendant.

So, doesn't that seem like over-reaching a bit, to be a divine Being AND establish a conclusive link back to Abraham (since both sons were alrady taken by other religiions).

Like, the new kid on the block, has to show up all the other kids to estabish supremacy? "Oh yeah your dad has a BMW? My dad has 5 BMW's....and he OWNS the BMW company"

I was around when it was created about 45 years ago, and find it fascinating that it is still so wide spread. Though the meaning has changed through the years and some christians have even named it a symbol of Satan.

This should be an easy question for the Y Answers Elders.

in the same way that heterosexuals react to physical displays of affection directed toward them by gays, do similar acts of affection (eg a guy handholding/ hugging/ kissing a lesbian) create a cold, nonplussed or even repulsive reaction?
