Men will be Judged by their works. Revelation 20:12-13, "And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,[a] and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were JUDGED, each one ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS."

And Hebrews 5:9 says, "And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him."

And they point to Ephesians 2:8-9, yet verse 10 says we are created for good works.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe you earn salvation, but I do believe you must submit to Christ in obedience!

James 2 says that we are justified (saved) by works, with our faith. The only verse in the Bible that uses the phrase "faith only" says we are "Justified... not by faith only"! (James 2:24)

If not, are you saying Christians can't be pharmacists?

Is it a sin for a Christian pharmacist to honor a prescription for Viagra, if he doesn't know for sure that it will be used - within the confines of marriage - to procreate?

Hey, I am a Christian and I have struggled all my life with my sexuality. I am not gay, but I am aroused sexually both my females and certain males. I have read verses, surrounded myself with women, and dating girls, but nothing has changed. I am not so much afraid as criticism as I am not serving my Lord properly and being what I once bashed...it was very wrong of me, because I forgot that everyone is human and we as servants of God are not to judge.

I want some help with this. If I cannot defeat it, I would like some verses or resources that will help it be less of my life until eventually I disregard it. As I said, I am not really 'gay'- I still have an eye for women and in fact can only imagine being intimate or sharing a relationship with one.

The Earth is shaped like a sphere (round) and rotates:

Isaiah 40:22 (746-680 BC)

[It is] he that sitteth upon the circle (the Hebrew word for 'circle' can also mean a 'sphere') of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Luke 17:34-36
I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed;
the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Two shall be grinding together;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two shall be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Luke 17:34-36 depicts Christ's Second Coming as happening while some are asleep at night and others are working at day-time activities in the field, an indication of a rotating earth with day and night at the same time.

You know the type who "playfully" teases you and "playfully" makes jokes at your expense? But when you protest claims that she/he was just kidding and you're being too sensitive??

I really don't know that much about the religions, so I decided to ask those who know. I would like to present my girlfriend (Wiccan) with a dagger emblazoned with my personal meditation sigil. Would this be an acceptable gift? If not, please explain the reason.

I read an editorial which stated that any form of birth control is abortion because it's preventing all the babies which could potentially be born. In essence, this person was saying that life begins before conception ?? Are there really many people who honestly believe this or is it an extreme viewpoint?

Note: I am not necessarily talking about the morning after pill or RU 486. I'm talking about birth control in general.

If we can require pharmacists to go against their religious beliefs and dispense certain drugs, shouldn't we also require ministers to perform same-sex marriages in jurisdictions where same-sex marriage is legal?

There are so many great movies based off history, or stories that were supposedly from history. Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, Ned Kelly, all those great movies. What historical event, or story, would you like to see turned into a movie? Something that has not been recognized enough maybe? Or something that no one really sees as this big deal? What do you think?

I'm an Atheist, so this is an academic question on my part, but I feel that we all have regrets that we would like the chance to redress. So, what do you think? Suppose God gave you a chance to change one thing in you life---what would you do?

For me, I would change the fact that I haven't been a part of my daughter's life, and now it's probably too late. This has been my biggest singular failure in life.

My parents aren't always arguing but they argue over the dumbest little things. My dad is an alcoholic, my mom is a little controlling, and both are stubborn as hell. I didn't think it was bothering me until a week ago when I got drunk and started punching the ground and crying over it. I really don't want them to get a divorce, especially because I am Catholic and I don't believe in it. So what should/ can I do to help the situation. Help please. This is starting to take its toll on me.
