Society & Culture - 26 July 2007

People have used that phrase to complain about homosexuals and how they ought to "keep it to themselves". So... now I want to know what you consider "shoved in your face".

How did they do it?
Did you consider it offensive?
Were you outraged on religious grounds?
Can you think of anything you've ever done that might be considered "shoving your sexuality in the faces of others"?

Then instead of choosing to be destructive and find every reason to attack Christianity......why dont you be better examples of what it really means to be a Christian?

of an existing God?

This question is for both Athiests and fellow believers.

Please refrain from saying "Well, God doesn't exist." I'd like to have some proof behind each answer. Those of you who make fun or don't answer my question, will be flagged.

I mean catholics dont believe everyone else is going to hell. They do believe that they have the one true faith and that other christians are their bretheren. they also believe that Jesus can save who he wished and its up to God who he saves.

The evangelical belief is that their small club is going to heaven and everyone else, regardless of if you never heard the gospel or loved God with all your heart mind and strength are going to spend the rest of eternity in endless torment.

Evangelicals also believe that once they say their prayer etc, that they can give "the finger" to fellow man and indeed God and he can do nothing to keep them out of heaven.

Doesnt it remind you of when jesus said people would say they cast deamons out in his name and he would say he didnt really know them.

He cured my cousin's homosexuality, so I guarantee he can cure yours if you let him. All you have to do is take the first step and go down to you local baptist church, and ask for help. They'll take care of the rest.

That's really one of the many reasons I stopped going to church & ended up opting out of religion altogether.

Ever notice when you first go one of these so called churches the people are so nice, warm & welcoming, & giving you their phone #'s etc? Then after a few weeks it's like they don't even know you anymore.

Sorry if offended anyone but from most of my experiences this Christianity is nothing but hypocrisy & a money making scam!!!

Religous people- what is more important to look at the differences between religions or similarities? What religion do you practice?

Atheist people- what is more important the differences in culture or the similarities? why?

Under California law, is a casket required for cremation? Also, is Interment less expensive as a result. I'm trying to figure if cremation of my remains will be less expensive for my wife when the Lord finally calls me home. Funerals can be very expensive these days, as many of you know, so I'm interested in making the whole process a inexpensive as possible

Would you care to commit to praying for all the Jehovah's Witnesses who use YA for the next seven days, for the Lord to give them "a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him" (Ephesians 1:17) ?

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to one day call these JW's brother's and sister's in Christ ?

Can I please get an "Amen" ?

Blessings.

God IS able!

Early on in my walk with the Lord, I felt moved by the Holy Spirit to get rid of my TV. I have been without my own television for about 6 years or so now, AND DON'T MISS IT AT ALL!

Have you felt the Lord move you to take the same action ? Did you respond positively, or are you delaying ? Any other thoughts concerning this subject ?

Thanks in advance for all polite answers.

Bless you.

My family consists of very devout baptists. I mean my roots are Carolina mountain roots so heavy on the Christianity and so I was raised... however I have come to doubt certian things... I am trying to find my way. The thing is I have a 2.5 almost 3 year old baby... If for some slim chance my way of thinking is wrong, I do not want her to suffer an "eternity in hell" as you Christians put it because of my bad mistake... But then again I don't really 100% into the Christian belief...

My dilema is I am constantly worried about my daughter. I don't want anything bad to ever happen (who would??) to her but I also want to ensure that *If* something did happen, she would be at peace.

Maybe some Christians could help me out - would your God really punish a child into hell for eternity eventhough they know no better (at age 3 I doubt she can comprehand such things). Thanks!

So I am coming to terms that the Catholic Chruch is the true church in the sense that it has the correct interpretion of Christianity. I understand using Church Tradition with the bible and the holy spirt and that it is the original group that Jesus created.

However what about other Christians, many truely love jesus and seek to follow and adore him. I have seen God work in people lives and seen the holy spirit move in shuch groups.

What is the catholic viewpoint, I know that catholics have been open to building relationships outside of the church.


I would like to hear from catholics about this, I dont want to hear from people who just st say that catholics are wrong.

Read www.catholic.com and study it and you too will be walking out of the evangelical church based on facts,
