Since in the bible it says that sex before marriage is wrong...then why do you do it...I mean we all make mistakes but if you do it don't say its right....SO my question is why do you practice it? and why do you say its right, when its not?...because God says its not.

I dont want to sound like I'm having a pity party over here,but ever since I found God (2 years ago ) I just feel like I'm constently being testing if thats what you call it. I have been struggling with employment,relationships with friends and family members and just about every aspect of my life.I have done a 360 degree turn around on my life.I went from party animal to pretty much JUST a normal guy who prays and talks to God on a daily basis.I have to admit I was a wreck before I found God and my life was out of control,thats how I know God has been working in my life because he has turned my life around,after I was ready to throw in the towel and give up,and call it quits.( I had pertty much everything a guy could want in his life and lost it (ALL) girlfriend of 6 years who I loved and had a child with.home,car,job.( i dont blame Any of this on God) I blame myself for this life style that I choose.)I dont know how to go about this matter with God any more. (need advice)

OK heres how it is. I make $5,000,000 a year. i am a Christian and a cheerful giver. I give $10,000 a week to church. I try to be as Christian like as possible. I have homeless shelters in NYC, LA, and San Diego, and Chicago. The Bible says it is harder for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to go to heaven. Please, i need help!

I mean Moses would be laughing and trying to act out the Red Sea parting thing then St. Paul would get up and pretend he was getting snake bit on the hand....it could be really fun...as long as it was all after the fact if ya know what I mean.

Is it because of the fear of being alone in your thoughts and the ridicule that comes from it?

Is it because humans are just now evolving to the same level as ants and bees in your social structure? In other words you can't help it.

I like open minded people and their ideas, I just wish there were more of you.

One thing we all do as an individual is die, don't wait til then.

The proof is in science itself. The axiom which we apply in all our scientific researches, "there is no effect without a
cause", therefore, to assure ourselves of the existence of God, we have only to look abroad on the works of creation. The universe exists, therefore It has a cause. To doubt the existence of God is to doubt that every effect has a
cause, and to assume that something can have been made by nothing."

Spirits Book, author Allan Kardec.

What do you say about that?

Is there Satan in our lives, brother?

I battled the Dungeon of Doom in WCW brother, and they were evil. So I believe. What about you? Do you believe in evil brother, or is it just human nature, dude?

It wouldn't make sense, a global flood would be their ideal habitat. I don't think a shark would survive very long on a big wooden boat.

Have we become bigoted and unaccepting like followers of other religions? By trying to spread awareness of atheism, have we turned into the very people that we despise?

I know it's a silly question but since they were created and not born of the flesh, therefore not being attached to an umbilical cord, would that mean that they didn't?

1 Kings 8:41-43
"As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name- for men will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple, then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.

Questions:
1) Why did God choose Israel, and what does that mean for people who are not Jewish?

2) Who are the people of God?

3) How does your church or group accept people that are different from them?

I've had this debate a ton of times at school. If you are saved and then you turn into a atheist, for example, are you still going to go to Heaven, or do you go to Hell?

My personal opinion is that if you change your beliefs, you go to Hell.

A tempestuous downpour caught me today and I rushed to find shelter but before I could get out of the rain a lightening bolt came down across the street from me and struck a metal railing next to the street! Sparks flew off the railing and a huge noise almost deafened me! I sure was glad Jesus was with me or I might have been struck in the head and killed! Praise His name!

Have you had any close calls like this?!!

I often hear Christians refer to homosexuality as the "crime against nature" or the "sin against nature." Even moreso, it's a sin of choice.

But animals can be homos/bi too. Hmm, that's strange. Animals can't sin, and they do not have the consciousness to make deviant "lifestyle choices".

In the approximately 1,000 to 3,000 species whose behavior has been well researched and described in the literature, approximately 450 (15-45%) have been shown to have clear homosexual behaviors.

(read Biological Exhuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, by Bruce Bagemihl, Ph.D)

So there's a problem here.
-Either humans are not sinning against nature, since nature is observably quite queer,
-homosexuals have no choice,
-or, if you really feel bold, as a last resort you can argue that animals can sin/make choices afterall... but then there's Bonobo Chimpanzees, for instance, 100% bisexual (http://www.blockbonobofoundation.org/), every single one chooses to be bisexual?

White people brought black people over from their country to the US in chains so they can clean up, cook and grow their crops, but black people are called LAZY. Black people have advanced and become just as successful if not more successful that whites but black people are called IGNORANT. Black people have influenced every area of American culture but are called STUPID. White people own the boats and planes that bring drugs into this country but black people are called DRUGGIES. Black people are everywhere in the US. In the poor neighborhoods and the rich ones. They are in every state of the US. .

A white woman gave me her version of why racism exists: it was assumed that the black race would die off after slavery ended and when it didn't, whites became afraid of blacks and what they would do to them.
Why do white people think that a white man discovered America? How can you discover a land that had people on it when you arrived? IRNORANT? STUPID? LAZY? Somebody got it wrong.
