There are billions of things in our universe that the naked eye will never ever be able to see, not even with the most highly advance technological systems this world offers. Why do you put such high stakes in proof/evidence and sight?

You can see far more through the eyes of faith than through the physical eyes of sight. You can see far more with understanding than you could see without this God given intelligence. Surely you must know in your deepest heart that you are not alone in this universe. That there is a God who cares for you.

Christians, why is it important to you (if it is) that you interpret the Bible literally? This may seem like an odd question but think about it. Different sects of Christians can quote different words when reading the same passage, because no one is reading the original translation. If you can read Hebrew and Greek that's great, but for everyone else, how can you claim to understand the literal meaning of the text if you can't read it?

This isn't meant to be a jab at Christianity. I don't see why Christians can't take the spirit of the words instead of arguing over literal meaning. Does God only speak in literal truth? Is there no value in symbol and story? It doesn't seem like it takes anymore of a leap of faith than belief itself. And if you don't read the original language, how can you tell another Christian his meaning is wrong?

I could apply this to Muslims and the Qur'an as well but they seem to be reading Arabic more often.

when i was 7 my mother was in a terribly abusive relationship
she was beaten and raped in front of my sister and i
she looked after this mans 2 children also , one was handicapped
after the rape she planned to escape but this man kept watch over her like a prisoner
she found out she was pregnant and knew she had to do something
so one night she ran away with all 4 children while the man lay drunk
she had to take the mans children to their grans and just run off anywhere with my sister and i
we had no clothes, money or personal belongings
she went to her sisters who was the only family she had , but her sister also had children and no room for us all

In some states you can go to a pharmacy and get these red pills that will kill you. This man bought them that was terminally ill. He thought it was nice to know that he always had an option if things got too tough. This story was on the news a little while ago. What do you think?

I personally dont think this should be allowed. Terminally ill patients should be able to use it in certain situations, but hink of how many depressed teens and adults would steal these pills and abuse them. What are we really creating with this product? The right to suicide.

I'm wondering what the devout Christians will be thinking when Jesus returns, takes one look around, and says, "I was born a Jew, my mother was a Jew, I grew up a Jew, I preached as a Jew, I died as a Jew. Would you 'Christians', who are not among God's 'chosen people', please take the heavenly elevator down with Josef Mendele?"

When i was smaller, my mother told me that she dreamed that she was crossing a river with my sister and i (we are twins). Sudenly water started coming from all direction and seemed to be covering us. Dirty water i mean.

At the same she held up her ahnd and cried " father i stretch my hands to thee no ther help i know"..then suddenly a rock began to grow beneath us. It grow and bent itself over and placed us securly on the other side of the river bank.

Today, of all the children my mother had (seven), only my sister and i have graduated from highschool, go to college and have a serious career.

My mother was and is a Christian. She has been throughmany strugles.

She is a 10 month old Yorkie/Silky Mix and just recently she has been refusing to eat any breakfast and will only eat dinner at 8:00 at night. Is it the hot summer weather? Is she only eating when it gets cool out? Or is she just growing out of puppy hood and wating only one meal a day? Or maybe she is sick. This has been going on for two weeks and i am going on vacation in two weeks and i really need to know what is wrong with her before i leave.

Why does the religious teaching focus more on the intellectual than on the spiritual? They seem to talk to the mind but have forgotten that spirituality is about the heart as well.
