1 John 1:19: If we confess our sins. He is faithfull and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
So, if He can forgive us if we confess our sins, do we need to forvide others that have sinned against us?

You leave the store and a wino bum comes staggering up to you. You've seen this bum take money and go buy wine and cigarettes with money people has given him, which he claims is for food. He ask, "sir, can I have some money for food." Now, before you answer there is a twist, you in your bag of groceries are in possession of a bottle of vodka, 2 packs of cigarettes, and a porn magazine. Do you give him the money?

I'd like to know exactly what IS heaven like anyway? And if Jesus forgives everyone, does that mean we are all without sin and we all get a free ticket? And if that's not the case, and only those without sin get to go, does that mean, that you can't commit sin in heaven? I mean. That would be pretty boring, wouldn't it? Life after death, eternal life without anything fun... that would be hell for everyone. Imagine craving a beer, and then all of sudden, there's Jesus. "Oh man, we just wanted a beer, can we drink? Oh, but don't get drunk? What, I can't hit on that girl either? That's lust!? I wasn't lusting after her! What?! I'm not lying! Jesus Christ, man! Give me a break!" And at that point you go down to hell with the rest of population, right? Hell must be a very busy place, don't you think? I think people need to seriously stop and think about what they are believing in. Isn't real life good enough to just embrace it and not worry about what comes "after" death?

called me an ignorant child. He is the one arguing with me(a 14 year old), trying to brain wash me and wasting my time. I have blocked him and yet he still sends me emails, and I am going to ignore him.
Who do you think is ignorant him or me?

People get all pissy when others type "xtian". It's not a way of "taking Christ out of language". He's still there.

"In ancient Christian art χ and χρ are abbreviations for Christ's name.[3] In many manuscripts of the New Testament and icons, X is an abbreviation for Christos, as is XC (the first and last letters in Greek, using the lunate sigma); compare IC for Jesus in Greek. The Oxford English Dictionary documents the use of this abbreviation back to 1551, 50 years before the first English colonists arrived in North America and 60 years before the King James Version of the Bible was completed. At the same time, Xian and Xianity were in frequent use as abbreviations of "Christian" and "Christianity"; and nowadays still are sometimes so used, but much less than "Xmas".

Ok, so there is a building burning down, inside is your pet and somebody you know is a complete worthless son of a *****. You can only save one....Who do you pick? No stuff like, well my cat wouldn't hold still so I'd have to go with the human. The pet is in a carrying cage and will go easily.

Seek righteousness,seek humility...Zeph 2:3

We are all different here on Y/A and its these differences that makes us all unique and interesting.

Just wanted all of you to know that I really appreciate the questions and the answers on R&S.

Unity is strength but its division that raises questions and stimulates curiosity.

I know this is not a question but I just wanted to tell everyone to enjoy your day tomorrow and ,no matter what religion you are or are not, give someone a SMILE ok?It's one thing we can all do and it doesnt cost anyhing.

I post this question because I recently saw a movie called "Deliver Us From Evil" which told how the Vatican has continually covered up the 556 counts of reported molestation in the United States. Supposedly it's alright due to the fact that "God Wills It."

Is it because it shows how much self control you have? Maybe it's because you dont know how many lovers she had? Or a more primordial reason because it eliminates the chances of her carrying someone's child?

I'm so tired of everyone saying how much they hate everyone else's beliefs. What do you LOVE about YOUR beliefs?

Added bonus for:

What do you LOVE about other's beliefs?
What do you ADMIRE about beliefs you disagree with?
What beliefs do you not understand?

Note: I include Athiest beliefs in this- so don't say "I don't believe in anything"

when i gave up on serious questions and started asking more, um, lighthearted ones, i was reported until i was deleted. repeatedly.
