I had 3 birthday cards in this mornings post, my husband thinks I'm funny cos I won't open them till the correct day.
I say, if I do then what will I have to look forward to when it is my birthday?

That brought back a happy memory too, my son came in one day and said, " Ma! why are the choccies I bought you for Mothers Day still unopened?" I told him cos if I eat them now I won't get any more until Easter so I like to look at them.
Two days later he appeared with another box, and said, "Now open your choccies and look at this box instead!" Oh happy days!
So my question is. Do you save up treats for later or are they gone in a flash? x

sex? At last we can have all the guilt-free sex we want and those solid angels people saw in Biblical stories will be there for us.
Not sure what gender angels have if any, but I am sure they will want to cooperate in any way they can to make Heaven a happy place for us.

The 15th August is Assumption Day. In Roman Catholic doctrine it is the end of the Virgin Mary's life on earth. Does anyone know if this is where the word assumption comes from. The infinite verb will be to "Assume". If so why is it called Assumption day.

Are there any Christians on here who have a relationship with Jesus Christ and not just the book.

Do you think there is more to Jesus than just the Bible? Don't you think that all the books of the world would not have room to list his accomplishments.

If your Bible was taken from you would you be able to continue on as a Christian?

I no this is not really a R&S question, but I was just curious...

I'm not saying that I would or wouldn't do it... but i'm just curious

If you loved someone but managed to let them get away because it was your own fault and later realised what a monumental error in judgement you made and wanted to make it right again for worthy reasons...
and you knew they were about to get married...

Would you go to the wedding and object to it?

Obviously anounciating all of the appropriate reasons for doing so of course...

Its commonly believed that saying "oh my God" or "oh God" is taking his name in vain, but is it? What does it really mean to take his name in vain? God isn't even his name, its a title. So would it be correct to say "oh my God" is taking it in vain?

We are in the 21st Century and humans still believe the bs that has been said about Jesus and his family. I can't believe that humans over 2,000 years never questioned the b.s. that has been made up by those who were close to Jesus. Are they scared of questioning their faith because they have been told they will go to hell? Definately. When you tell a human that he will be damned after death, that person will always be scared to question his/her faith. I personally have used my brains and believe that there is a God, a creator. But Jesus was a normal human being who made b.s. about being in contact with God. Mary was a young girl who had intercourse with Joseph and became pregnant. She and Joseph made up the b.s. that God made Mary pregnant. Fact is that Joseph boinked Mary at a time when premarital sex was frowned upon. Why can't humans question their faith? Why don't they realize that there is a possibility that Jesus was a normal man?

Islam was started by mohammed, budhism was started by budha.....if christianity wasn't based on an historical figure called Jesus Christ - whether or not you believe he was god - then how did it start? Why did they break away from mainstream judaism?

Interestingly, Jesus rebuked a man who addressed him w/ the title "Good Teacher," bc Jesus recognized not himself but his Father to be the standard of goodness.(Mr10:17,18)
However, to measure up to what ppl generally mean when they say that some1 is good, Jesus surely must have been truthful. Indeed, even his enemies acknowledged that he was.---(Mrk12:14)
He himself said that he had a prehuman existence
that he was the unique Son of God,
that he was the Messiah,
the 1 coming was foretold throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
Either he was what he said or he was a gross impostor,
but neither option allows for the view that he was simply a good man.--John 3:13; 10:36; 4:25,26; Luke 24:44-48.

Do you share your birthday with someone famous, dead or alive?

I share mine, August 7th, with Elizabeth Bathory. If you don't know, she was a Hungarian Countess who slaughtered young women in the late 16th, early 17th century. No accurate numbers exist, but she is said to have killed at least 50 and up to 200 young girls and women.

She was also rumoured to have bathed in their blood, to preserve her youthful looks, but that is mostly considered a myth, as is her practising vampirism and drinking the blood.

So who's your "celebrity"?

What do you think of this scripture, what lessons does it teach you? Do you think that it is a good thing to live by? Does anyone know which book of the bible it is from?

"He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins [in remembrance]. Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou dost prayest. One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon from the Lord? He showeth no mercy to a man, who is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins? If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins? Remember thy end, and let enmity cease, [remember] corruption and death, and abide in the commandments. Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: [remember] the covenant of the highest, and wink at ignorance"

Isaiah 45:7
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

I'm posting this as many Christians responded to a previous question by saying that god did not create evil. I got this from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
