To whom are you praying? Is it one god or is it several? Do you have different gods for different situations? What guidelines do you use? How often do you pray? I know more than just Christians pray. I want to see where we differ.

their is a law that say we r not aloud 2 have religious acts in public. which keeps anything prayer(and other Christian things) out of school but it doesnt stop atheism(which is considered the religion or having no religion by the government). by not having religous events(such as prayer) in school they r making us be do religious acts of atheism. so why dont we Christians do something about that(like use it somehow 2 get prayer back in schools).

The bible says that when the world has heard of Christ the Rapture will take place. I just read an article saying how rapidly Christianity is spreading through China and expect it too continue on that way to other countries. Do you think the end is beginning?

I tried to ask this question in the shortest form possible, but I seriously messed it up. Here’s more of the story.
Two people at my grandparents’ church got offended because I didn’t send them a graduation invitation to their house.

Now yesterday, they sent me a graduation present, a ring. I don't want to thank them after the immature way they acted about not being singled out.

AND there is a good reason they were not singled out. No one was. I had a terrible battle with depression the whole second semester, and I wasn't sure of graduating until about a week before the ceremony itself. So sending out personalized invitations to over a 100 people was not an option. Addressing them would have taken at least 2 or 3 days, the mail would have taken another 2 or 3 to get to them, leaving at the most 3 days of notification for the whole thing. We put up the invitation as soon as we knew.

So, the question I was really getting at was how do I resolve this without “airing my dirty laundry”?

yes I get it: the U.S. is a country that is made of states that are united!
But why not invent a real name for this country?

My mom is great except for one thing. If you (son or daughter of hers) walks in she'll tell you you are fat, or need a haircut or are gaining weight excessively flat out and passionately. She'll criticize you when you are close by to her so that you won't go near her or want to be part of her. I can't stand it.

One time I asked her why doesn't she criticize the neighbor across the street, and she said no, I care about my family, not the neighbor. Does that mean she respects the neighbors better than she does her own family. She also likes to bring shame down upon us if we don't behave well, like if we don't say please, excuse me, and she'll basically pound your head and say shame on you for not behaving and so forth never ending... Your thoughts.

A friend of mine who already has two children (ages 4 and 5)is now pregnate with am unexpected third child. About a year or so ago, she and her husband sold or gave away a lot of the baby stuff they'd accumulated over the course of two pregnancies. They aren't in a desperate financial situation, but they aren't loaded either. I would like to host a shower for her, but am concerned about how it would be recived by others since she does already have two kids. Thoughts? Ideas? Comments?

She hates the idea of driving, but in her dream, she is driving a brand new yellow car and waving by to every one.
she has told me this dream several times now. and just last night she said she had the uncontrollable urge to hug the kids.

I have it in here because i hang out in here and would like to hear your opinions.

I also put it in "Dream Interpretation"

You have 30 minutes to tell me why I should believe in God. By the way, you'd better be pretty persuasive.

I'm tired of being told that I "should" believe, when no one says WHY.

So, now, please tell me WHY.

30 Minutes.

GO.

Just got this email today. It might be bluster, but unfortunately you can't put anything past the demonically oppressed. My prayer is that God will reveal himself to the Taliban and many of them will come to Christ. Like when the Waodani killed the missionaries in Ecuador 50 years ago and wound up all getting saved (End of the Spear).

Anyway, please lift them up, they really need our prayers.

Please pray for the 22 Korean Christian missionaries kidnapped by Taliban in Afghanistan. They will start killing them tonight. Please forward this to others for prayer too.

We have all looked at this but I was questioning how do we take the bible in contect. There are hundreds of verses that can be interpreted any way you like.

Look at Communion, Jesus said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood there is no life in you. OK so lots of people following him said this is nuts. He didnt say unless you believe I will die for your sins.

Jews were expecting a Messiah were they not, they were used to Temple sacrifice, if Jesus meant his death and resurection he surely would have said it, otherwide he was just pushing people away -

He didnt say you have to drink my blood and then everyone runs off and then he says privatly "hey I didnt mean that, i meant beleive in my sacrifice" because he would have wrongly sent people away.

When did the change in the belief in communion happen. Was it with Luther or after him

Just curious... I posted another question on here how my mother said that children would be better off with God than with a gay couple.

With this being said - I asked her what she meant to have her clarify and she said - in heaven.

My initial reaction was how do you get to heaven - ummm you die.

So kids are better off dead then with 2 parents that love them.

I am not arguing this point - it was something she said and I don't think she thought it all the way though. My mom isn't the type to promote killing kids - and I understand what she was trying to say.

But just generally to that statement - the idea someone would be having the right to think it is ok to kill a child.

A lot of the responses I had was she is entitled to her opinion. Really? It's ok that someone thinks kids should die?

Well what about the statement "I think little 6 year old girls are hot?"

If someone said this would they still be entitled to their opinion?

Where does the line get drawn?
