I wear tighty whities. I am going to 8th grade next year. Mandatory changing rule is instituted in that grade for gym. If people get caught wearing tighty whities, you get pantsed every day. Happened to a few people. I really need to avoid this. Parents buy me my clothes including underwear. Parents are Chinese and question everything I ask for. Ask to go to a movie, they say why...I need a solution. Either avoid them which is virtually impossible without being late for class or ask parents. How to go about this is the problem. I need help. Anyone please help.

Please backup your answer by quoting relevant scripture. Don't care which religion you are quoting from. If you think god doesn't have a favorite color please back up you answer with scripture too. Don't bother answering if you think the question is stupid or you want to know why I'm asking.

I got into a discussion with a friend the other day about whether or not the Bible is something that we should trust undoubtedly. I have the feeling this question is going to make some people mad...

The Bible has been through a lot, you must admit. How are we to know that some king, or religion, or pope, or... someone... hasn't changed bits and pieces of it over the years? For example-the Catholic church, in the beginning, was a more political religion than it was spiritual. Even history books record that back then religion was used to keep people ignorant, under control, and from thinking for themselves. So...if the catholic church was run by the government back then, how can we know that somethings were not ommited, and others added, to get people to do what they wanted them to do?

Before you start jumping to conclusions, I am a Christian. I am not being blasphemous, and nowhere in the bible does God promise to protect it. I've already received those answers, and I am...

This isn't really a question as much as a survey. It consists of just one simple question. When answering this, only state YOUR opinion. DO NOT sit here and bash anyone else's. I'll state my own opinion in the added details section.

Q: Should everything written in the Bible be taken literally?

One does it an old way, one does it a new way. In the end, shouldn't they merge?

I would say that Science is ahead in this argument because Science questions itself and the "truth" about the universe, (physics, mathematics, etc...), on a fairly regular basis. Theories are proven and disproven and nobody gets offended much. Religion seems to be more of a, "because I said so! Now NO MORE QUESTIONS!", type mentality. Religion also cast Science as heresy back when scientific minds were first emerging. I would also say that there is a lot science cannot explain that religion has views and insights on. I am not trying to bash either side here.

Ideally, both would be explaining the same thing right?

Over and over I am told to "seek out the Lord".

Yet over and over I am told that the Lord chooses those whom he will to be amongst His flock.

If it is by the grace of God I am granted faith, what purpose is served by me seeking Him?

I can't find Him unless He chooses to reveal Himself unto me.

So why spread the Word? If nothing you do and nothing I do makes a difference because it is all up to God to decide to whom He will grant grace, why spread the Word amongst those who do not believe?

I have believed in and loved God since a very young age. I have accepted Jesus as my personal savior and I love him. I go to church, and pray for forgiveness for my sins. I have a problem, though. I have feelings for another man. I feel a powerful emotional attraction to him, as well as physical attraction. He is gay as well. He is also a follower of God, like me. We have know each other since the second grade. I belive that being gay is okay, and that God loves me. I and not sure anymore, as people how want to make me hate myself quote the Bible to hurt me.

Does anyone have any advice? No one word answers, just full explanations. Thanks.

===========================
There is evidence that suggests the existence of a non-material, non-physical universe that has a
reality even though it may not as yet be clearly perceptible to our senses and scientific instrumentation. When we consider out-of-body experiences, shamanic journeys and lucid
dream states, though they cannot be replicated in the true scientific sense, they also point to the existence of non-material dimensions of reality.

and presenting me with papers supposedly signed and dated two hundred and fifty years ago, and saying that thiers what washington did do really only presents this problem
Umm............are your sources on crack or something?
Why accept the constitution so matter a factly,
yet what Mark, Luke, Paul, and John co oberated each other goes unaccepted simply because the co oberation sits beside each other in some orderly fashion in the same book???? you forget so quickly, so what makes History valid? The Bible is a History, worth being taught in schools..........do not get me wrong, im not saying history class' should preach it like the sciencetist preach evolution, just present the History of the World, presenting the Bible to the students for examination..........

Just think: But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Wow I serve a God that created me and died for me. My God knows what it is like to suffer on this cursed earth and what were are going through. This is true love. Thank you Thank You Thank You Lord JESUS!!!! I have been delivered from my sins. I repented (which means turned from) my sins and surrendered my entire life to Jesus. Jesus is now the center of my being. This is the least I can do (give HIM my life) because I was bought at a price. Jesus took my punishment (which I deserve death for) so I can have eternal life. Do you know Him? Do you really know Jesus? Is Jesus really Lord of your life? Check out my profile if you would like to find Jesus.

Why do some woman go back to husbands who beat them, time and time again.
Woman who have their teeth knocked out, jaw
broke left black and blue. They phone the police and get the brute charged, then after a week or two drop the charges.
Then tell their friends, he did not mean it he loves me, it will never happen again and the woman with stiches in her head believes it.
What would you do if your husband hit you?
would you forgive him.

It is told that there is only one god and god is eternal. how come each religion mentions a particular god. If god is eternal there cannot be different gods

Suggested dates for the writing of the Gospel of Matthew range from as early as A.D. 40 to as late as A.D. 140. This wide range of dates from scholars indicates the subjective nature of the dating process.

Professor Helmut Koester of Harvard University has suggested that the collection of sayings in the Gospel of Thomas, although compiled c. 140, may include some traditions even older than the gospels of the New Testament, "possibly as early as the second half of the first century" (50-100)--as early as, or earlier, than Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John.

So you see, some biblical scholars claim that the Gospel of Thomas Actually PREDATES Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John.

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism." --foundamentalist Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue, in a speech quoted by the conservative News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
