I read a story about the War in heaven and didnt get to finish it before going to work. Then I lost it. Can you please give me a detailed account of what happened . Someone said the bad warriors were born with dark skin on Earth.

Some of the stuff I just can't believe is real. Is it okay as a Christian to believe in God and Jesus, but also believe that over time, man (being imperfect), hasn't recorded events 100% the way they actually happened?

This is freaking me out. My husband is driving to work, and called to tell me that he smells death on his clothes, in the air, all around him. He's gone several miles with the windows open and it's still lingering. There's also a storm brewing after a very dry summer, but the lady I babysit for just picked up her baby and said she doesn't smell anything odd. Any ideas what this would mean?

PS He's an EMT and knows what death smells like. He says it's almost like roadkill, but definately different. Personally, I've never smelled it.

Don't write in Hebrew script. Literally translate it. Write it as it is, just in Western script. For example...

וְעָשִׂ֤יתִי בָם֙ נְקָמֹ֣ות גְּדֹלֹ֔ות בְּתֹוכְחֹ֖ות חֵמָ֑ה וְיָֽדְעוּ֙ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה בְּתִתִּ֥י
אֶת־נִקְמָתִ֖י בָּֽם׃

Take this and write it the way it would appear if these EXACT words were in English...

Oh God...
You get it. Write it in Hebrew, but not in Hebrew scripting.

Played this game the other day and was kinda different.

Most people usually have 3 things that make them an outlier compared to others. What are your three?

One lady at my work has been to all 50 states.
Another one speaks 5 languages.
Another guy at my work was the New York State Dirt Bike Champion in 1989.

What makes you stand out?

That if you regect him, why you would not go to Heaven, if my child rejected me he wouldnt come home either, but because he chose not to come home. Not because i told him he couldnt. But i have faith, I have been saved, I want to go home, but what if I sin to much and he says I cant? That I was not good enough nomatter how I tried. faith without good works is nothing, good works without faith is nothing, so how much is enough?

Or is this another one of those not to be taken literally metaphors I keep hearing about?

Leviticus 24:11-14
"The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. They put him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them. Then the LORD said to Moses: "Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him."

This seems in contrast to Jesus telling the mob that wanted to stone a prostitute that "if any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her". (John 8:7). Has God matured from the OT to the New? Or is Jesus just more godly than his dad?

I am dating this guy who doesn't really practice being catholic but I know that his family does very much. My question is this, what are some catholic beliefs that kind of sets them apart from other religions? I heard that they do not believe in taking birth control, can someone tell me more about this belief and if it is true? Thank you very much!

Many theologians no longer believe in the Devil as as a real person, or entity. Even the conservative preacher Billy Graham softened his Hellfire and Brimstone conceptualizations over time.

I'm farely certain i have some sort of psychic ability. When the phone rings I always know for a fact if its for me (even when there is no reason for me to believe this eg. expecting a call). Secondly whenever I play poker I can sense a good hand, I've played 7's and 2's and gotten a full house, although my mind isn't always clear on determining when these impulses are true or false.

I want to know what type of psychic ability I'm blessed with so that I can train it, I know it's not the typical clairvoyant, telepathy etc.

So I asked a question on Evolution.

I was told by atleast 7 different people that we came from a virus!

If we came from a virus...Why is it that we catch a virus and get sick from it, since our genetic makeup is from a virus?
