I was wondering if anyone has heard of Dispensationalism? One of the builders my husband does work for is one and wants my husband to come study with him. What is it?

As Terry G said I have done next to nothing on answers over 4 months and he has done ( apparantley) amazing things during his one month stint. I really would like to talk to some of you because I think we are on the same wave length but I don't know if I will fit in because I don't have this points issue thing!
I am not out to make points I just find this site very interesting and, occassionally i would like to 'talk' to someone about their answer or question.
I am a fairly new silver surfer and I really haven't a clue what I am doing most of the time. At least I can type so that's something I suppose

thier faith is one of Earths most beautiful things, but why is it that non of the local christians like me, just because i'm pagan now, i mean, i'm always polite to them and when i was young, before i turned pagan and they stopped liking me, i helped them out at the local church, so why do they not like me anymore, i haven't actually done anything to offend them, i told them that i still love them but they won't have it

Ok, I have my thoughts about what Christians believe from having once been a Christian and having listened to many Christians speak and write about what they believe.So, out of curiosity of whether or not Christians all share the same beliefs, what do you believe?Be honest.
On these issues:
1.Evolution
2.Homosexuality
3.Other beliefs
4.Atheist politicians
5.Atheism
6.Gender identity (sex changes)
7.Morality
8.Humanity
9.Global warming (man made)
10.Freedom of choice (not just on abortion but on any issue where personal freedom is a question of choice)

I ask this because I have seen a lot of opinions being posted and so now I want to see all the opinions answered together.

How can you be so sure that Allah is not the one true god, and that Islam is not the way to reach heaven? Those muslims sure seem to think they've got it right. Maybe they're on to something!

But I know you Christians are just as sure that Islam is a false belief, as we atheists are sure that Christianity is. I'm genuinely curious to see if the Christian/atheist answers are in any way similar. :)

Is it because I want to believe I am better than those who aren't in the cult, or because I want to feel safe from people out side of the cult, or because I want to use the cult to my advantage, or because I am too ashamed to admit that I was wrong to most fellow Christians? Or could it be that I'm looking for a crazy experience or just want to know alot, or am tired of plain Christianity? Why am I such a cult addict?

Why is it that the insignia for homosexuals is the rainbow?? The rainbow was made as a sign from God that he would not flood the earth ((like He did)) again ((see Genesis chap. 6-9)) why have people totally distorted it into something that represents a sin??

people, seriously...get a hold of yourselves...christians are so concerned about where they go when the die, that they forget to live in the life they have now....why be so concerned about where you go when you die? you'll find out when you get there. p.s. you CAN be moral without religion.

I often get sick and tired of so-called Christians who constantly moan about Christians not being perfect to continue their sinful attitude and behaviour. Read Matthew 5:48. Jesus commanded us to "Be perfect...as your heavenly Father is perfect." I can't stand it when professing Christians use the "I'm not perfect" line to justify their indifference to God's commands. Jesus did not condone it, Paul did not condone it, nor did any of the other biblical writers condoned that attitude. So all you so-called Christians who want to live like non-believers should stop this attitude or you will face the judgment of God.

Why do all of these anti gay people have to come and answer in this section? We have our own section for us to discuss these issues. Why do they have to come in here to make trouble. Can't they just stick to their own areas and leave us alone. If you hate us fine, thats your loss. But at least have the decency to leave us alone.

I see all these people saying they receive hate mail, and I've never ever received any. It just occurred to me the other day that maybe I DO receive what other people would call "hate mail" and I just don't consider it hate mail or something. I have received mail of people trying to tell me I need to convert to their religion. But I never saw it as hateful.

When do you consider something "hate mail"?

How do I go about having a discreet affair? It will help me appreciate my wife a lot more. Please serious and sincere answers only. For a Muslim it is okay for a Muslim man to have an affair but if a muslim woman has an affair then under Islamic law she can get beheaded. I am a Muslim man and the Koran actually encorages me to spread myself. It says go forth and multiply but cage your woman at home. Islam is the most forward looking open minded liberal charming captivating intellectual and stimulating of all religions.

most christians are like the corinthians in the bible. they don't wrong from right and behave more like unsaved people to the point that you can't tell the difference.

And lo and behold they don't allow emails.

I got called a "goon" and a "creep" the other day for one of my questions about the Bible god.

Another guy told me I wasn't worth the bother, to answer my question (yet he bothered to email).

I had no idea the hate I could generate by asking questions about the Bible and the god therein. From people who don't allow email. Church people.

heaven. Jesus did not say that, what he said was it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, than a camel to go through the eye of a needle. He did not say it was impossible. I believe lots of rich people go to heaven, because they share their wealth with the poor. they are not all money mad. What do others think.

I definatly think I should be a muslim. I mean here are my options. I believe in God and I go to Heaven where I am told that there is no sex, or I believe in Allah and I get 72 virgins. I mean come on, it's no contest. The muslim religion has a better program with much better benefits.

I was in a public restroom today and I saw a 10 year old boy with his mother in the women's room. I was going to say something, but I kept my mouth shut, in understanding that the child may have a problem (although I dont think that was the case). How old is too old for a boy to go into the ladies room and a girl to go into the men's room?

At least can they hold back the life in someone who is dying. . If not, why do some of them believe in evolving life out of nothing which they cannot produce one now with everything. Truth is that those who are called Scientists did not even witness their own birth or their creation. They too came to this world as babe crying and helpless as everyone. Some of men blindly believe them unknowing Satan is teasing them and forgetting this life is a test. God alone is the truth unto Him we all return to know the truth. http://www.harunyahya.com/
