1)"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

2) James 2: 14

"My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don't do anything to show that you really do have faith? Can that kind of faith save you? If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food, you shouldn't just say, "I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat." What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help? Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead"

My Questions to my christian friends If the State of Mind becomes weak to follow Saying no 2 about good deeds, does Saying No 1 even matter. Thanks in Advance for your answers.

How would you feel about having the above statement replace the current religious figure on our printed currency?

Please, no "christian nation" statements. I'm arguing freedom of religion, not freedom of christianity.

Or any other "weird" religion, for that matter? Isn't Christianity just as weird a concept?

If you really are convinced that we Christians in R &S section are full of mythological falsehoods. Why is it that you who don't believe feel the need to defend your unbelief?

It seems to me if I said "the boogie man is gonna get ya" and you don't believe the boggie man, your best argument would be to ignore me, as you should have no fear of the boogie man. right?

However I have noticed many of you that say you have no faith, go out of your way to attack that which you do not believe. Are you fearful?

If you really don't believe in God, why debate? You see I do believe, and I must speak of such things as God would have me. But what is your obligation to your unblief?, do you really think that after we that have tasted the Heavenly Gift, can be swayed to unbelief? That you will change our minds?... we that have experienced the Majesty of God Almighty, by the quickening of The Holy Spirit?

I wonder why do you fear God that you don't believe?

any thoughts?

A friend of mind asked me because her brother has joined them.
He is a professional man, and is not short of a few pennies, and she is really worried.

I'm not talking about, "God, please let me win the lottery" types of prayer. I'm talking about, "God, please heal my infant child of the terminal disease she was born with so that she might have a chance to love and serve you?" prayer.

Me personally no. To be honest I have no idea what most people in my life's religion is nor do I care. I was just wondering. I admit to being afraid that some of my "Friends" wouldn't be my friends if they new I was Pagan

If your friends, or the people around you, find a guy attractive does that make them even more desirable to you? I have noticed that if one girl out of the group is attracted to someone, then all of a sudden the whole group wants him as well. Would you say that my observation is pretty accurate?

My song, "Dont Push Your 'belief"
http://www.charliecheckm.com/music.html

1. If you dont believe in me, I'll make sure you burn to death

2. I'll forgive my children for murder, but if they dont believe in me, I'll let them burn. I give them the ultimate pain

3. Dont even ask me to show myself visually because I wont but you better believe I exist. I'll show up after you all die.

4, If you worship anyone other than me, I will be very upset with you

I’ve ran into a ton of woman who love to lie about this.

I ask a simple question like " What country you from ???

and they tell you " Oh I am a mutt I am 1/2 Chinese, 1/3 Italian, 1/9 Dutch, 1/30 Swiss, 1/90th Norwegian, 1/5 German , 1/8 French, 1/3 Portuguese, 1/2 Chiwawa and part German Shepard……and ummmm….Oh yeh and part native American ( they usually say Cherokee )……

Why do they feel like they have to lie and make stuff up when they have no idea where their ancestors are from?

You are not cool by making stuff up...

If you don't know.......DON'T make stuff up! It's silly! You are not any cooler by making stuff up!

I am from Central America ( El Salvador) I am light skinned with light hair and hazel eyes. When people ask me where I am from. I DONT say

"oh I am part Mayan Indian and Spanish “

If you are from here and you are Caucasian then say you are just white or Caucasian….

If you have parents or grandparents that are withing a few generations thats fine!

Yes, I am specifically speaking to Islamists and fundamental Christians. I'm just curious, if women were the ones who were the "heads of the household" and the ones who forced you to wear drapes while they wore climate appropriate wear, how'd you feel? Suppose women restricted your participation in worship activities and in the church/mosque, ie...say, you have to worship in the rear of the facility.

Suppose your mere presence nullified a woman's prayer. The water you wash your twig and berries with is considered so unclean that women can't even use the same vessel or sink as you.

Women reserve the right to beat you when you start messing up, and if she needs help, she just calls her mother, sisters, aunts, friends...etc and they stomp you into a NDE just because your wife suspected you looked at another woman.

Hmmmm, I could go on, but you get the pic. Would you still be in your religion if women ruled it?

Why is it that people will walk right up to a fat person in public and say nasty things right to their face? Do people in this day and age really think the true worth of a person is measured by numbers on a scale? What do these people get out of trying to cause pain and embarass others? Fat people just want to be productive citizens, be happy and live their lives like anyone else. It saddens me that there are those who get their kicks out of hurting innocent people.

I realize the whole point of faith is to believe without proof. But why would God choose faith as the way to him, when he already knows that isn't going to be good enough for so many people (atheists, for example, are usually intelligent, good-hearted folks who simply refuse to believe in something that can't be proven)? Does God have a certain standard of people he wants in Heaven? Is this his own survival of the fittest for Heaven? Is it so the only ones who make it are the ones who have enough strength of character to have faith in something that reveals itself to none of our physical senses?

I believe in God, but I have so many questions about his methods.

I personally think that it is the person reporting. You see, there is this danger lurking around Yahoo Answers sections like this one. People are banding together and reporting questions/answers for "fun." They report everything the don't like or that they disagree with. This must stop. Are you a concerned Yahoo Answers member? Then you should join in trying to stop the fight by joining: groups.yahoo.com/group/concerned_y_members If you do not want to help make Yahoo Answers a better place, simply do the opposite by abusing the report abuse button by clicking below this question.

I know the basics of the story: the fruit, the serpent, etc. but not the details.

But which of the two sinned by taking the fruit? or both? Were their sins different? Did the sin of one carry over to the other?

This question is motivated by an answer to one of my other questions: "It was Adam that carried the seed of sin...to be passed from generation to generation."

which can be found here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070810084431AAZGdaB&r=w

I always thought Eve was the one who sinned by taking the fruit and Adam sinned by partaking of it so now I question my understanding of this basic element of the Bible.
