Knowing that the majority of religions on earth are lead by male models, lead by male clergy.

Our church is going through a really difficult time right now. I am in a new position as elder and am finding out that there is a lot of backstabbing going on. Our pastor was having some personal problems and instead of rallying around them, the church has done nothing but push them out the door and find fault with them. I feel just because a pastor is in a leadership position does not make them less human and just as the church would have rallyed around a member they should have given the pastor a leave of absence and nurtured them as a church should. I am so disappointed that I am going to church with hypocrits. Don't get me wrong, I am a sinner and fall WAY SHORT of being the person God wants me to be, but this situation has upset me more than anyone can ever know. Any ideas or have any of you been through something similar? How should I address this, if at all?

I'm going to present a scenario, and I am curious about what many Christians here feel the outcome of the scenario would be. We have a man. We'll call him Jack Wilson. Jack died this morning, via the Death Penalty. You see, he was on death row after being convicted and sentenced to death. He confessed to the rape and brutal murder of 5 women.

None of his victims were Christian. One victim was a Muslim. Another was a Scientologist. Another was an Atheist. Another was Agnostic. And the last was a Buddhist.

Okay, we turn back to the convicted/confessed rapist/murderer Jack Wilson. Moments before his execution, Jack Wilson repents. He's read the bible before, but all of the sudden the grace of jesus christ fills him. He falls to his knees, and begs Christ for forgiveness. He sincerely and genuinely feels sorry for his crimes and he now accepts Jesus as his savior who died for his sins. He is now a Christian. He is then executed. Will he go to Heaven? Will his victims?

I have gotten several violation notices in the past two days for very dumb stuff.

"What's with all the Mormon questions tonight?" was a question that I had last night because there was a huge run on Mormon questions. It got a violation notice.

I then asked this question..."Is Yahoo! Answers run by monkeys?" It also got a violation notice, after 23 answers were given.

Then someone asked..."are there any religions that warship death?"
Then I answered..."I need to tell Tragic_Typos about this question." Guess what...violation.

I don't get it. I've seen much worse on here with no violations.

Is it the monkeys? (Waiting for this violation.)

Whenever I see a business advertise itself as being Christian, I wonder if that means non Christians should take their business elsewhere. It seems to suggest that non Christians aren't honest. Personally, if I have a choice, I will take my business elsewhere when I see that.

Why would someone who is absolutely perfect in every way need for lesser being to tell him how great he is?

If your only answer is "the Bible says we should praise God", save it. I know the Bible says that humans should praise God, hence this question.

my favorite is Acts 2:38
Peter replied, Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of jesus christ for the forgivness of your sins. And you will recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Did you recieve this bible salvation?

About a year ago I was in a Rape and Demestic Violence Group and everything that's said there is confidential of course. Well, there was this Mormon lady there, I think her name was Christian. And her husband worked for Hewert Packered. However it's spelt. And he went to court for beating his wife. And the judge let him off free because he was an outstanding citizen. And his wife was talking about getting a divorce. Well, Just today I read the front page of the News paper and it was talking about my town opening a 4th ward. It said the New Bishops name and that his wife's name is Christian and that he works at Hewert Packered. I put the two together in my mind and I think it's the same guy whose wife was in the Demestic violence Group because he beat her. Well, I've read stories of people getting excommunicated for bringing stuff like this up about authorities in the church. I don't want to start crap. But what would you do?

Something that I can do primary research on (like surverys, questionaires, etc.). An example is "Are students motivated when asked to write?"

Preferably, something related to literacy. Any ideas?

People suggested that my Genesis contradiction was not a real contradiction.

Who was Jesus' grandfather on Joesph side?

And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Matt 1:16

Or

And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli. Luke 3:23

I recently posted a question calling atheists out on a flaw in your belief structure.. thats not important to what im asking now, but i got some responses in it that said "the overwelming evidence that God doesnt exist..." yet these folks failed to provide me with some details to this evidence. I was wondering if some of you could help me out in discusing some of these details.

Also please note that im not a believer that Evolution is proof that God doesnt exist,.. so please dont use it. I would get into a conversation of why i believe this to be but I dont got all night heh.. Ill be watching and responding to your thoughts. Thanks for answering.

Let me know what you think... and, would you want to listen to the "real" thing?

"Let All mortal Flesh Keep Silence"

Let all mortal flesh keep silence
And with fear and trembling stand
Ponder nothing worldly minded
For with blessing in His hand

Christ our God to Earth descended
Our full homage to demand
King of Kings yet born of Mary
As of all on Earth He stood

Lord of Lords in human nature
In the body and the blood
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food

At His feet the six-winged Seraph
Cherobim with watchful eye
Veiled their faces to His presence
As with ceaseless voice they cry:

"Hallelujah Ha-llelujah...
Hallelujah, Lord, most High!"
