if he was a jew then why he was rejected by his community??

Did he practiced usury as jews do? nop, in fact I remeber him once fighting againts the merchants of the temple.

Did he believed that Israel was the "chosen people"? nop, in fact he started to convey God's message to everyone

So, he is not jew coz he came to correct the deviations them and to encourage people to follow the religion as it was revealed to prophet Moses...

why do so many christians react to things like the Ted Haggard scandal as if it says nothing about faith and say that, if anything, it emboldens and strengthens their faith?

it really says something when so many of the top people in evangelical, organized religion are entrenched in
drug scandals,
sex scandals (homosexual or or otherwise),
blatant tax fraud
and investment fraud.

doesn't the irony of it all almost makes you think that god was trying to give us a subtle message that he thinks that we should not get so caught up in "organized, politicized religion" and mindlessly worshiping dogma and focus more on loving our fellow man?

There's a guy who likes my friend. And when she invited him to her house to do homework he took off all his clothes, pushing her to the bed and stripped his clothes. Then, he continued to squeeze her breast and suck on it. Also, he got his penis into her. What will happen? Should she continue to see him?

I am just SICK of these realtors?

So I had a bad experience with my last realtor who was always trying to up the price of what I could afford and it would "just be 40 dollars more to live in a place that you really want".

So I complain about it to my friend who recently got his licence and I told him I got a new realtor. Then that friend is all of a sudden looking for a home for me, and has found the "PERFECT" home he says, and he seen it, and it is "JUST RIGHT FOR ME" and he knows the guy trying to sell it and he is a "GREAT GUY"

I am sick of realtors. After all that both of these guys don't have a clue. I am sick of re-explaining what I want in a home.

Just because I am a young woman, and a first time home buyer does not make me dumb. HELL NO i am not paying 210,000 to live in the ghetto!!!!

...that Jews have been so persecuted for their own faith, that they don't even like to claim their faith completely?

You ask someone if they are a Jew, and they'll reply...

"I'm Jew-ish"

Humanity is God to the canine species...canines have a real God they do worship and love unconditionally. Granted, a currently limited God, but neverthless, a real God that mostly provides for their needs, unlike the fictisious God man has created.

So from a spirtual point of view, Dogs are the most spirtual beings on earth because they are the only beings with a real God they acknoweldge and have a real relationship with, in fact, they are smarter than many humans in this respect. Also dogs worship humans, not based on faith, but based on real basis for acknowledging the superiority of man.

I guess only atheists, agnostics and dogs are smart enough to see mans potential for God status....dim-witted religionists still curse man and demonize him.

Does it mean that you can never disagree with their practices?

Does it mean that you can never ask questions about that which you find inconsistent or objectionable in their scriptures or doctrines?

Does it mean that you can never oppose attempts to legally impose their behavioral standards or "divine mandates" on you?

Does it mean you must always allow them to do whatever they want if it's in accordance with their particular faith?

Is it acceptable for me to run you down and threaten you every chance i get? NO
Is it aceptable for me to tell you that YOU are wrong? NO
Is it fair if you call me evil I can call you evil? NO
Is it alright for me to answer your words~~ You are satans child~ You are going to hell~ God will punnish you ~~With my own nasty comments? NO

Walking around my local supermarket I noticed a female staff member unloading a tray of fresh bread that she had just brought out of the store bakery.
She was wearing the staff uniform, which included a pair of black trousers, she bent down to stack the shelf.
I noticed two very large (obviously male) flour palm prints, one on each cheek. I was initially gob smacked , then I had a little chuckle and walked on. There were a couple of other staff women standing around, they had been watching my reaction and both started to giggle, they knew about it if course!
Like a coward I walked on.
Now I thought if amusing at the time, but what would the store manager have thought if he noticed it? More important what would I have said to this women?
Would you have walked on by or what would you have said to her?

Please, comment on what you read on this website. I'm talking about everyone, that would include catholics, muslims, hindus, buddist, druids, wiccans, etc. I don't care who you are take a look. I just want to see if there is something similar in each religion. I'm really not searching for opinions just facts in your own religion. I also feel if you're honest this be something very interesting to everyone. website: http://www.barr-family.com/godsword/queen.htm

Seriously curious on the official JW teaching for these...

1) Why were stones picked up to throw at Jesus after he talked about His pre-existance? John 8:58-59

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I AM!" At this, they picked up stones to stone him...."

2) Why did Thomas call Jesus my Lord and my God and then get praised for believing? John 20:28,29

Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

If the pope sees the light, and has a true conversion are you willing to forgive him his condemnation of all Protestants? What about the people that have been led astray for centuries? This pope can not repent for the ones before him, but how infallible are these guys when he can go back to Vatican II and say the popes were too liberal in their translation? The big claim to being the "Only Real Church" is from from one misinterpreted quote to Peter. Peter did not were funny hats, have people kissing his ring and take a vow of poverty, then live in decadent wealth with servants to wait upon his every whim. I know plenty of born again Catholics that will be in Heaven, but they don't really pay that much attention to the pope and when they have a serious question or want to know where something is in the bible, they call a Protestant. May God forgive the leaders of this House of Lies.

I believe out of their own greed many years ago, when they banned priests from marriage so the church would inherit all the priests' estates instead of thier wives, any other ideas???
...... and this is not a violational question, there is a huge case against the church for many many priests that have violated children and the church has tried to cover it up!

My father is somewhere close to Baptist, and my mom is between Nazarene and Methodist, and both of them think that Catholics are alcoholic, child-molesting idol worshipers. The problem is that I want to become Catholic... because I just feel at home there. I don't know how to tell them... They will think it is just that my boyfriend (who is Catholic) is brainwashing me. How can I phrase it so that they won't freak?

Sometimes people say that they are not religious but they believe in prayer and God. This confuses me because when they say they only believe in prayer and God does this mean they are a very liberal Christian or what? Or when someone says they are not religious but they say they pray...then who are they praying to? Does it mean they are athiests or they're just liberal?
