I have a friend who is atheist and I'm not so sure if he has a belief system. Without a higher power, or some type of belief, wouldn't it be hard to go through life? If you have ever experienced an atheist, or have had encounters with them, I sure would like to hear about it?

Alot of us tend to get this idea(from i don't know where) that the forbidden fruit Adam and Eve, which God warned them about was an apple. You can never find that in the bible. I promise you. The bible said she ate a FRUIT, not an apple. It's sad because even churches are teaching this concept to its congregation, kids including. So just to educate everyone, christians and non christians, followers of Christ and atheists Adam and Eve never ate an apple which caused them to be cursed out of the garden. We'll never know what kind of fruit it is until the coming of the Lord.

Usually when my birthday comes, I literally don't care much and it's as if it's just another day. This year for some odd reason I'm excited. My mom started it off by sending me a card in the mail (I see her regularly, but ok...). So why am I so different this year? It's like I'm just so happy. And I can't figure it out. Have you experienced something similar?

And thank you TS for that question. I'm so thankful to have friends like you, and to know some of the greatest people who are a thousand times better than me in some areas from a range of religions. I truly appreciate all of those who know the real me.

Some say that we live a life that God has given us, travel a road he has laid out for us, and are destined to live our life the way he wants us to. With that in mind, if you believe in God, can you believe in free will as well?

so he said remember me when you come into your kingdom, and jesus said today you will be with me in paradise.

yet we read that jesus spent the next 3 (earth days) in some place talking and ministering to the dead, so was this place paradise (or Purgatory) where the theif was.

i can find a ton of other verses like, putifying fire, refiners fire etc.

example: i was going for a walk last night. it is hot here in ohio-95. i pulled my hair back in a ponytail and sprayed the top with hairspray-i didn't want my growing out bangs to fall in my eyes.
he said i was "funny". only i would put hairspray on my hair to go for a walk in the country-it won't hold,etc...I ended up taking my hair down.

There's a program @ my university where they give a MEMORIAL Loan to students who are in financial need & are receiving financial aid, & the money is deducted from my refund checks. But they told me that if I am in DIRE need, I have to write them a letter of being in extenuating circumstances, so I can get the money earlier. I'm on a fixed income, my electricity bill is high because I had to pay a deposit on it, & I'm low on food & clothing, & I need books & school supplies. & this type of loan is NOT credit-based. My financial credit is poor as a result of Hurricane Katrina (long story) but I became in debt, trying to replace my necessities.

I only have 3 towels & washcloths left. I didn't realize my brother was stealing my stuff when I was living with him. Now I have my own apartment.

...Is a complete idiot. Every day for the month before school ended, him and this other kid would pick up this stupid ball and throw it at me. Every day! No matter how much i begged them to stop, they never would. It was cruel. This was always in full veiw of the entire class.
So why did he get picked? Are people so shallow?

I see alot of posts in the R&S section, in which someone makes a comment on really bad stuff that Christians do, and the general response that i usually see from Christians is:

"Oh, they're not real Christians..."

I don't understand this. I thought that being a Christian was to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior and Lord...

If a racist person kills a bunch of minorities, and his religion is christianity, why do some christians insist that this person couldn't possibly be christian just like they are...
If your argument is that if a person murders people, or harms people, then they are not Christian because they are not being Christ-like, then what about a person that fornicates? Are they not allowed to call themselves Christian? Who decides which sins you can commit and still be christian?

I don't think people should try and decide who is Christian and who is not, because everyone sins, so how do you say someone is not a Christian because of the sins they commit?

...will be punished? How?

2007-08-01 17:30:26 · 4 answers · asked by topink 6 in Religion & Spirituality

i never beleived in this but in looking at the catholic explanattion it is so rooted in the bible it is scary.

Its like you die and go to heaven because of christs death but just like you are made perfect to be with christ that happens between, its just the process.

So I think the only difference between catholics and proestants is that catholics think it could be a longer time frame.

did you know that in the bible it says speaking in tounges is a testamony for you unbelievers

do you think we christians make it up?

do you think we are drunk just like people thought the diciples were?

or do you call a scientist to examine us and come to a conclusion other that that the holy spirit has come upon us?

what is your excuse for the speaking in tounges that no other religion can counterfeit?
