I'd like to buy my friend a gift card for her belated birthday/new job. What are some good ideas? She's 26 and lives in New England.

Everyone on here knows Jack is bisexual, but in everyday life, I'm much more closeted. I'm more open about it with my gay friends, but even some of them I've not told, because whenever I've admitted it to gay people, I've almost invariably been told I was gay, but in denial. As far as straight friends, few at all know. I always feel like I'm being secretive to one person or another as far as this is concerned.

Does anyone else have the same struggle? Sometimes I feel as though I don't really fit in with any group at all.

This is not ment to offend any one, but if it does, then you have no since of humor :)

(1) Just one God
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa
(3) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(4) Git yourself to Sabbath meetin'
(5) Put nothin' before God
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal
(7) No murderin'
(8) Watch yer mouth
(9) Don't take what ain't yers
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff

Now then, ain´t that a little more understandable?

"Enough of the writings of the authors named in the foregoing list remains to form a library. Yet in this mass of Jewish and Pagan literature, aside from two forged passages in the works of a Jewish author, and two disputed passages in the works of Roman writers, there is to be found no mention of Jesus Christ."

where do you carry your money(the bills)? it is so big... maybe I am wrong. I was watching Hollyoaks and there was a scene with money in it, and the bills were so wide. Do men carry standard sized wallets or are they a little larger?

I believe very strongly in God, and I try to read the bible every night, and pray when ever I get a sec, even if I'm just walking along to work or something, but I'm no angel.

I do swear sometimes, I like to party, and so forth. I don't go to church, and it's not because I don't want to, it's because I work Mon to Sat, and Sundays are the only days I can do my bits and bobs. Can I call myself a christian or not??

First there was Adam and Eve. Then they had their sons and so my question where did we all come from? Did the men have sex with themselves or did they have sex with their mother. Either way it is a major sin.

We all know that Religion is define as a believe passed down through generations through a set of rules and laws depending on the culture of its origin.

Christians worship god and therefore known as a Religion.
Muslims worship Allah and therefore known as a Religion.

However, The Buddhist who doesn't worship God is categorize as a Religion. Why ?

Athiest is not a religion but it believes that there is no God. or there is no need to believe or worship God.

So why isn't Athiest be categorize as a religion if Buddhism too doesn't worship any particular God ?

If Athiest is a way of life than how come Buddhism is a religion instead of a way of life ?

Again, If believe in something like "There is no God" means that you have a belief and you belief there is no God.

Wouldn't that make your belief a Religion too ? If religion was a candy bar .. it would be easier to be describe because you hold a candy bar even if you call yourself an Athiest. Because you Believe.

I'm pretty sure Lycyrgus is from Greek mythology anyway. I looked on Wikipedia- no Lycyrgus. Nothing on Google, which worries me.

So, who is Lycyrgus?

that you have not changed (or added to) the meaning of the Bible to fit your beliefs? Do your publications teach doctrines other than that of the Bible? Do you believe works will get you a better place in heaven? If not, why do you go door to door?Don't get me wrong, JW's are some of the nicest people I have ever met and I am not trying to put you down. I just think you are mislead in your belief system.

This question got flagged AFTER it had been out for about 4 days and I had already picked a best answer. Totally rediculous.

Deleted Question: Mormons, if a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is there to hear it...?

Question Details: Does that prove that the Book of Mormon is true?

I think people should choose their religion. I am a Christian. And I do believe in God, but this is CULTURE guys. If you know a muslim, and you say their god isn't real. 1. You are being rude. 2. You are hurting them . Everyone in this world is different, and people have different beliefs. Right? Difference is what makes this world THE world. So what do you think?

2007-07-21 07:13:10 · 18 answers · asked by Gaga 4 in Religion & Spirituality

My answer is no. Your teachings go against Christian doctrines.

1. Jesus was born again (The Watchtower, Nov. 15, 1954, p. 682.)
2. Jesus' ransom sacrifice did not include Adam (Let God be True, p. 119.)
3. Only their church members will be saved (The Watchtower, Feb, 15, 1979, p. 30.)
4. Good works are necessary for salvation (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 1, pp. 150, 152.)
5. Only the 144,000 may take communion

These are not in context with the Bible's teachings.
How can you be "Christian" when you go against Christian doctrine?
