People, there are children that go on this website, please watch your ignorance. I will report your language as abuse, and I sure hope everyone else does too!

I am still unsure about this. I believe in eternal security due to these verses-----

Romans8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(KJV)

Romans8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
(KJV)

2 Timothy2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
(KJV)

However, there are those that believe you can lose your salvation. I don't understand what verses they are using. So if you could post those for me and why you either believe that we have eternal security or we don't (with scriptural reference only please) I would greatly appreciate it.

Non Christians, you will just be ignored, so no use. Thanks.

After reading John Cepek's question, I became even more aware of how hateful our society is. Everything we have uncovered about the sexuality of mammals point to the largest determining factors being before birth. It is sad to see individuals still using a book(The Bible) that is twisted on so many levels, as an excuse to look down upon these individuals.

For you non christians out there , as much as we are chritisized for our ignorance, I'd sure like to see a question worded "Why do Baptist's " or "Why do Catholics" Do you know that every single question here that references Just "Christians" is really unanswerable because "Christians" is such a large variable ?

For the ladies that don't attend church..are there any occasions where you would dress in a more conservative style than you normally would?

I asked this question, in a different way, once before and got SCORCHED by women for asking. I understand it's up to me to control myself. I'm just asking for your perspective on this.

According to Canadian law Canada Day is July 1 and a legalized Holiday. So I thought I didn't have to work on Sunday. But the law says that if Canada Day is on a Sunday, than we are allowed to work and the Monday is a Canada Day.

So is July 4 ALWAYS a Holiday that you get off, no matter what day of the week it falls on, even Sunday?

Would you believe this? (This goes out to smokers only, so if you don't smoke then don't read).
I have just been reading on the internet that officials in California are concerned about the rising number of smokers and that bar and restaurant owners are extending there properties to make smoking zones, to a point where the SZ are far superior to the actual bars and restaurants. God bless the yanks, I knew that they would find a way around this stupid law. And now it's only a matter of time before we do it over here and then we can keep all the non smokers in one place and not be bored silly with there boring conversations and there self righteous views and let this be a lesson to them not to interfere with the people of this country. We don't want dictators here.

I feel I've tapped into it a little before, and am hungry for more. How or where should I focus to better master it? And will I need a teacher or can I do it myself? LOL

For instance, five does not equal four. The Egyptians did not watch Seinfield. These assertions could be proven, couldn't they? Some would argue that the reason why God's existence can't be disproven is because he has no definition, characteristics, or location. If we had one or all of these things, would it change anything?

Only for believers of God/ the Bible. Do you believe there are signs that you are within God's will,( on the right path ). I do believe that it is useless, even destructive to be willful and try to perform works of the flesh, but what are signs that you are on the right path?
A side question is that
Psalm 91 says that he shall "give his angels charge over thee. They shall bear thee up in their hands Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone".
Yet in so many places in the Bible it says the rightous WILL SUFFER:
2 Thess 1:5 `which is' a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
Acts 9:16 "must suffer"
2 Cor. 1:7 Partakers of the suffering
Phil. 1 :29 "suffer in his behalf
1 Thess 3:4 "we are to suffer affliction"
and many others.....
Obviously ALL the Martyrs were not in their hands, less they dash their foot......

So Prince Edward and Sophie are about to present the Queen with her eighth grandchild. Their last child is titled Lady Louise, yet Prince Charles' sons are Princes and Prince Andrew's daughters are Princesses (I am not sure about Princess Anne's children) - why is this?

Hillary Clinton supports "civil unions" but is against gay marriage. In fact, she supported the Defense of Marriage Act.

Does this change your view of her?

Can you tap into "the force" and move things or influence people with it, like Obi Wan? I'm very interested and am not being sarcastic or disrespectful at all.

To me this practice makes no sense. I'm Jewish and being Jewish I don't go around saying "I only keep kosher on Fridays." I mean, if you believe that God doesn't want you to eat meat, God wouldn't want you to eat meat ever, not just on Fridays. I really don't understand this at all.

I would like to read something (besides the Bible of course) that will help me and inspire me on a daily basis and draw me closer to the Lord. I have a daily devotional book and I try to read the Bible every day, but I need something more...any suggestions?

I don't ever feel like I have forced or scared anyone into not believing in gods. I simply open their minds to a few concepts and they begin the journey to knowledge themselves. I never threatened violence(Christians/Muslims) and I have never scared them into not believe by fear of punishment of somekind. I also don't focus on their insecurities by claiming they have a friend in atheism. So why not open some minds?

Law Law will get you high, but also a dead end.
These all: died AND received not the promise.

Matthew 22: 36-40 Law Law?
The second is like unto the first!

Romans 8:2 Law Law?
The first is sin and DEATH!

Perhaps such Law Law isn't good,
but "both good and evil" ends bad.

I've read that modern paganism started in Europe within the last century. What connection with ancient paganism does this modern paganism have, if any? Is the ancient paganism still practiced today?
