She has never asked the rest of the family to keep it quiet.

Can we mention it whenever we like?

I am not too familiar with the bible, but it seems that all the stories I hear of God revealing himself, is to hebrews. I appreciate your answers thank you.

his response: "I had heard about the museum but I thought it was in another state than Kentucky... I thought it was in the state of Denial."

so in order to follow god i have told him that he is free to choose his own beliefs but if he doesnt believe in christ and the only god i kick him out of my house, and i reject him...i suppose this is what a true christian should do, since it is the same as the free will thing god gives us????

Me and my husband have been married 4 years. This is kinda embarrassing me for to ask but is it a sin to have kinky sex? I'm talking about with your husband and only him and him only with me? I don't want to lose him. We are both Christians and trust in God and Jesus but my husband loves the kinkiness. It's not bad or anything but I just don't want to lose my salvation trying to please my husband. Please don't laugh at this question. It's really bothering me.

My son has stopped coming to church with me. He flat refuses to come to bible study and when I talk to him about the love of Jesus he gets a glazed expression in his eye. Could he be on drugs?

My children, my mother, & I were having lunch today and we started a conversation on space, cosmos, and all....

Anyway, through this conversation I discovered that all of them (and the several people I have asked since then) can imagine what something they have never really seen would look like (for instance, a tiger walking accross my living room.) I, however, can't actually picture that image or any image I havent ever actually seen.

What does that mean?

Surely we can not go through life without judging people or we'd be walked all over and gullible.

For example, within islam, you're automatically a muslim if one of your parents is muslim, you can't change your faith once you're a muslim, and you can't marry a non-muslim. These are nice ideas, but I'm sure we can do better. Any other suggestions?

For those unaware (gasp!) of the FSM Church, go sip a beer while netsurfing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster , before answering this question - instead of blindly hunting for points. Thank you.

P.S.: Point-hunting in the name of the FSM will be greatly appreciated by the Spaghedeity, but not from "the Great Yahoo in the Machine".

This will apply more to those who have known me for a while.

In my previous question, Kallan said (in part):

"... The biggest problem is in trying to convince christians who believe that they are "in this world but not of this world" and that "Jesus will come back and fix all of the problems" so they have no responsibility to it. ..."

I'm in absolute agreement with this statement (and I acknowledge that there are exceptions, but not enough).

The tipping point for global warming is a lot closer than most people suspect. Melt the arctic permafrost and that's it, game over. We'll be lucky if we have 50 years before that happens.

In other words, I'm not so keen on respecting beliefs that are leading to the death of life on this planet.

And I've over 500 questions challenging christians about their beliefs to get them pointed in the right direction (with very little success, I might add).

What say you?

Do you think there must be something spiritually wrong with them or since they don't go to church they must be going to hell?

In the Bible, when did the Jews become Jews? Were Adam and Eve the first Jews?

I am curious how the dissention among the chosen people/believers played out, there were Eastern cultures, Gentiles, Greek polytheists, and pagans in the world, how did they come to be? Is this what the tower of Babel was about? Or the 12 tribes of Israel?

He looks like me.... he he, He looks like you!

HE looks like Jesus, Jesus looks like God.

What is your thoughts on what God looks like?

I was thinking that we would have to go back to polygamy for just a while so that we could create another increase in membership.

After all if we didn't have polygamy the church would not have lasted for well over a thousand months!
