Society & Culture - 30 July 2007

I am Christian, married 7 years (no kids), and hubby and I have had problems for the past 2 years. He refuses counseling and church now. My church friends tell me to pray for it to work, but a part of me wants a divorce because he is showing no interest in working at it with me. He won't file for a divorce, and says whatever happens is on me now.

Should I pray and wait? Or let it go and file for a separation or divorce?

Did yuo know that:
It was Abraham Lincoln, once walking with a friend in the late evening, who looking up, said, "I could understand anyone up there in the heavens, looking down on this earth, and not believing in God: but I cannot understand anyone looking up to the heavens and seeing the glory of the stars, not believing in God." ??

The book of Revelation almost didn't make into the official canon.

Also, it is the only book where we get the idea of hell from the lake of fire.

The apocalypse writings are similiar but weren't included.

Do you think it was included to substantiate the idea of eternal punishment but was tame enough to not conflict with other doctrine?

If animals are smarter when it comes to certain things? For example they follow Gods plan of mating female & male {not homosexual}, animals protect their young {not murderous parents}, animals don't try and mate with younger animals {not like some pedophiles} and animals don't kill just because {like murderers}. I am not bashing anyone just questioning if anyone else feels similar to the way I do. As the humane race goes we are supposed to be more intelligent and as for these certain subjects animals seem to be showing a higher intellect what are your thoughts?

Does anybody know of any charities which sell cute shirts as fundraisers, such as To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA)? I am looking to get some cute clothes for a good cause, but I want them to be from less-known charities.

That quote/question from Friedrich Nietzsche, but still applies. Which one do you think? Why would God create humans, seems like either a mistake to make us flawed or we are an experiment (which would makes sense). Also why would God create the world and humans if not for an experiment or his ego and humor?

I do, for the record. I just don't understand why people refuse to believe that he even walked this earth, claiming that is was a long time ago and things could have gotten misinterpreted. You could say the same thing about any historical figure, about Ferdinand Magellan, or Charlemagne, or Cleopatra and Marc Antony. Originally, all we had to work with was dusty old scrolls, but no one questions whether or not they existed. Some people will say that those who recorded Jesus life and teachings were biased because they were religious, but if you look closely, most written records from that time period had religious elements to them. Why is one more acceptable than the other, is it just personal choice or does it have a proven method behind it?

Whatever you believe, I ask that you be polite and courteous to others. I will respect your opinions if you respect the opinions of others and my own opinions. Keep it civil, or don't bother. Take your insults and cutdowns somewhere else.

Pangel and Digi are both so nice all the time. I couldn't imagine either losing it on someone, but I bet it would be a show worth watching!
Peace and Love to you both, and to all those who answer.

Could it be that the story appealed to people, especially the virgin birth idea, so new religions like Christianity kept repeating the same story?

"Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

The more our hearts bow down in meditation upon the eternal and heavenly and spiritual things of Him the more we are brought face to face with the wonderful truth enunciated by the apostle Paul to the saints in Ephesus: "For WE ARE HIS HANDIWORK, created in Christ Jesus with a view to good works which God prepared beforehand. . . " (Eph. 2:10)

We are BLESSED!

...or do you just look the other way and ignore it..

a recent article said that only 1% of people actually call the cops or do something when a car alarm goes off.. are you part of the 99% that ignores the alarm or do you actually help people when they cry for help?

Does anyone else have trouble understanding how a person who shows great rationality and integretiy of thought in all other areas of life can believe in the Christian God?

Now I'm not bashing anyone. I love Christians, a lot of my very close friends are Christians, and I defend them more often than not, espcially here in R&S. But it's hard for me to comprehend how somone who is a great person, kind and compassionate, fun loving and great sense of humor, and very intelligent could believe in the God of the Old Testament and the salvation plan of the new.

Other desits, atheists, and non-Christians in general: do you ever wonder this, too?
