You probly won't believe me and it may be a coincidence but I think this story is quite amazing. Have u ever had a similar experience?:

I was a guest to a Jewish family one time and the "man of the house" who was a doctor could not be there for dinner so he calle dhis wife to tell us. She, looking quite distraught said "----- wont be here for dinner. He's doing a brain surgery right now and the chance of survival is very slim for the patient."
"You mean...?" I didnt finish. SHe looked down sadly.
"Well, I'll do a short prayer for him that it ends up ok. God hears all prayers" So I did a short supplication
"You know, it wont make a difference. The patient is in very critical condition my husband says. Its so sad, this man was a good friend of ours."
"Well, if he makes it out alright then we can credit it to my prayer ok?" I said, not fully confident that my prayer would make any difference but whatever.

News that night told us that his condition was improving unexpectedly! WOW

Christians cry over the casket of a person who has passed away. I think this is a contradiction of what they believe and have been taught. If children of the Lord TRULY believed in life after physical death, then there should be happiness for the person (the spirit) that has left our planet to be with the Lord.

I forgot the name of the religion, but is a country that cries when someone is born knowing all the troubles he or she will endure but throws a party when the person dies because he or she finally left this short, miserable life.

Do you see my point?

Why do Christians, who claim to walk with Jesus, cry over the body of a loved one who has left to be with the Lord in a better place?

Explain.

God created this world within seven days huh?
I wonder how long it took God to create the whole universe.
As far as I am concerned God created one sun and one moon according to the scripts. Why not mention the other suns and moons? Why not mention his creations in other planets? If one day aliens visit our planet and claim they never even heard of Jesus then what will you Christians do?

because i feel a lot of ignorance here an this site. and mostly coming from the "African Americans". It is sad. I can't know what is right and realize that every one or "white man" is out to get me? Why do you call us "Uncle Toms" (i refuse to read that book). Or a "sellout" because i realize the faults in African American society? And i am black still doing it?

The Bible talks about life on the other side of the grave. In fact, in the book of revelation we find a passage that describes spirits talking with God and saying "those who dwell on the Earth." Why would they say "those who dwell on the Earth" if they were on this planet.

For example, you would not say, I am going to take a trip to Chicago on the Earth, right? We all know that Chicago is a place on the Earth, right? If you lived on Mars and said "I am going to Miami Florida on the Earth," this makes perfect sense because you are traveling from another planet to this one.

What is your view?

Hello I have been with my boyfriend for about 2 years. First of all his a little older than me. I am 23 and he is 33 and sometimes I feel like I am going to miss on my own fun..... I have told him that I want to go out with my friends but he does not like it. And when he does let me go I feel guilty.......Do you think that I shouldnt feel bad when I leave him home alone? If I do leave him home alone my days goes bad......But I just want time to myself...... I want to be able to go and not think about it......

You know...like paranormal experiences. ghosts..etc. Just wondering. I don't believe in ghosts, but I've always wondered what people who have claimed to have these experiences were really experiencing.

Every time I have ever gotten a job, something completely out of my control, screws it up.
For instance, I just started a job last week, but then today my daycare refused to care for my daughter because she caught a flu bug in their facilities so I had to miss a day of work already! Also, next week I'll have to take the day off to pick up my son from the airport. I have nobody else to help me with these types of errands. It seems whenever I get a new job, something weird always happens, like my car door freezes shut and I can't open it, my alarm clock suddenly breaks and so the alarm doesn't go off, and just other weird stuff. Then to top it off, other weird stuff happens to me too, like my kids decide to destroy my apartment the night before my apartment manager comes over, my car tires get sliced the morning I have to show up for court so I'm forced to take a taxi, two days after I get evicted from my old apartment I also get fired from work . I can go on and on.

Proverbs 6:16-18:
"These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

You know the supercilious arrogance of acting as if your unions are somehow superior to the unions of homosexuals - that is haughtiness. It is also sowing discord among your brethren. And we all know you're proud simply because your arrogant. You have shed innocent blood in your drive to end homosexuality more times than most people could imagine and therein lie the wicked plans (i.e. telling homosexuals they "can't" be Christians because of something in Leviticus yet refusing to give up their own abominations - shellfish, lying, not crossing in the crosswalk, etc. That sort of righteousness is beyond HAUGHTY.

YOU'RE BREAKING EVERY RULE! Does this mean you're all going to hell?

i was baptised catholic but i decided about 2 years ago i didnt believe in that stuff (i never really was religious in the 1st place). i just dont understand why people can believe in it. in my opinion it doesnt make any sense and i dont see any proof and i just dont understand how christians can believe in god so much when they've never actually talked to him or seen him. and the religion contradicts itself and i just dont get it. so why do you believe in your religion when you dont have proof and it sounds impossible? and im just wondering, they say that god knows everything that's going to happen so why would he create a person whom he apparently knew was going to hell and why would he even make a hell in the 1st place? i dont understand any of this...

ok everyone here's the scoop. my fiancee` used to go to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and he wants to convert to Catholicism but he doesn't know how to tell his parents. Especially his mom since she grew up in that church. How do I help him get the courage to stand up to her? He's so afraid she'll take it out on me and he doesn't want that.

I always see problems among Christians in churches. One person dislikes another person, etc. etc. How are Christians supposed to handle these conflicts amongst themselves in a biblical and peaceful way?

Someone just told me this about the Old Testament: "Jesus now instituted a new Law Covenant with all that would follow him." It was in response to abominations brought up in the Old Testament, how they were 'no longer true' - oh, wait, EXCEPT for the one about homosexuals!

Dee deep!

If the Mosaic Law ended with Jesus' death then why are so many Christians still bigoted and hateful toward homosexuals? Are they ignorant? The other abominations included eating anything from the water without fins or scales, lying, looking haughty, not crossing in the crosswalk, etc.:

Most Christians who answered the question told me that a. The O.T. had only to do with Exodus and 'not the rest of us' or only paid attention to the one dietary restriction I mentioned - shellfish. Did the words LYING, NOT CROSSING AT THE CROSSWALK, & HAUGHTY EYES not get through somehow?
