Jesus died on the cross for are sins and to destroy the curse of death and destroy the devils works. The blood cleansed us all. Living in Christ is life, but living in sin is death. Repenting and giving your life to Christ will save you from the pit. And your name will be written in lambs book of life.

I have talked to him and talked to him. I still don't know why he does it, but he has a fetish with porn. Is that wrong? I really don't want him to go to hell for it. I have tried talking to him about it but he doesn't see it as a sin.. Who is right? Is watching porn a sin?

I hate the green leafy people because some are stupid. Not like the blue crunchy people because one of them gave me a dollar. The purpleish gray people are also bad because they aren't my favorite color and I also think the orange smooth people are bad because one of them stole my TV. The red and gold gilded peope are also bad because some of them eat (insert domestic animal here). The really light in shade with dark growth people are also bad because some of them smoke newspaper. Are you getting the point yet? So why do you think people stereotype?

OK here we go... I have yet to come out to my family as transgender (FTM) and have been trying so hard to figure out all the ways... for A very long time... anyway- when I was driving with my mom the other day she said to me... "you just have to be yourself, whatever that is and if that's a man, then you have to be that and fess up about it" I just blew it off and yelled at her by saying, "do YOU REALLY have to talk about this now?" Nothing more was said. I feel really bad that I didn't respond to her. She's tried to out me before when I was a teenager (15+yrs ago) and I blew it off then too. NOW I'm ready and I blow her off again... what do I do now? I was thinking an email saying, "you're right mom, I am transgender and I'm going to do something about it, thanks for the support"

What do you all think?

I read a post here today from someone who said basically, "Believing in the God Myth is a luxury I can no longer afford"....and I wonder if any of you feel the same way; and if I can ask this respectfully to help me as a believer maybe better understand your POV - what do you mean by "luxury you can no longer afford" as I have heard that phrase before of course, but never used in this context?

Would really be sincerely interested in your replies....thanks!

After some of the tallest stories ever -talking donkeys, water walking. fish and loaves etc etc I have just learnt that Noah, not content with his flood tale, was over 600 years old?! Does it really state that some humans lived this long? And people still believe it? Please tell me this isn't true..

I have seen Christian converts to Islam question the Trinity?. Some have gone has far has attack Christanity has a pagan religion. My question to you is why do you think has a human being(you are not God) you will understand the Trinity. Do you guys think you are more powerful than God to understand God himself?. Why are you using a human perspective to understand trinity. If God wanted to test your faith wouldn't it seem logical for God to give you an opportunity in the form of Trinity. If God gave you everything as straight forward like you wanted to see how can God test your faith towards him?
For User ID manhornz: I. Read Matthew Chapter 7 verse 15. It says" beware of false prophets, who come to you in Sheep's Clothing but underneath are ravenous wolves" you have not yet provided me with a rebuttal so why should I leave my faith. Did Abraham question his faith when God asked him to sacrifice his Son, which would seem the most illogical thing from a human perspective to do?.

Everyone has their own perspective or that we are are all related? LOL

I think it's both...we are each other's brother's and sisters, yes? Shouldn't we try to see from other's perspectives in order to love and understand one another? What are your thoughts?

How many of you think religion is such a huge conspiracy like I do?

I personally believe The Bible was written by heaps of different author's who added their own opinions to it over time.

And has this whole Da Vinci Code business made you wonder more about things.

Apparently one guy now things it isn't Mary Magdalene in The Last Supper painting but Mary as in Jesus' mother sitting beside him.

Religion is way too confusing for me at times lol, eventhough I didn't do too bad with it at school.

No hate lectures from Christians thinking I'm being a pagan or speaking blasphemy ethier, you'll just be ignored.

I am confused about kariat (divine severence of existence for certain sins). Does that mean that the soul has no share of the world to come, whether for the righteous or the wicked? Does it just mean that the soul dies and still has a share in the rewards and punishments of the next life? Is it something other than that? Please help me understand better what it is and how it is administered and the long term reality the soul experiences. Thanks and all the best.

Hallelujah obviously comes from the Hebrew words "Hallelu yah", which mean "Praise God". However, the Christians translate their Bible and all of their prayers out of Hebrew. So why is that one word always said the Hebrew way?

Islam mean's the submission to the moon-god "Ala" Which also fit into Babylonian belief of their moon god "Sin" Muhammad elevated the Arabia moon god who was a sexual being and had to do with water. Which is why they wash their feet before prayers. Allah had three daughters "E.B."

Could this be why woman are property under Islam and why they have so many wives? And why is the left of Europe and the USA not looking at the truth of this false pagan religion and the media will not as well. And it is OK for Muslims to leave their home land and have sex with non believers of their moon god.

Give me your thoughts.

when someone says "What nonsense, give me an example?" If he cannot personally find nonsense on just about every page of the book, is it just hopeless to try to appeal to his intelligence?
