You see, in high school,i had a verbal fight with one of my very close friends because he didnt keep his promise, so i ended up telling him we no longer needed to be friends. After that this Best freind of mine came to my Place. He told me "What you did was right but i am very sorry you didnt consider his circumstances in life like relationshipship and financial problems he is going through. You are in a better position so you should have forgiven. Although i give you 10/10 Law wise but i give you 0/10 in humanity"
Here is my BEST freind critisizing me and standing up for the guy i had fight with. I understood his point and made up with my other friend.
What my Best friend said has made me a better human being today. So i wonder, if our relationship with God is similar. He is true freind who is firm in Criticism but simply because we dont want to take ownership, we run away. Also should we blame God for what other humans do to us, Your comments please?

I would ask him if a tradition by a bunch of old men in an old bilding is more important then hunting down the child molesters disgiused as catholic priests in this world?

I once heard that it was a sin to commit wrong against people of one's own faith, but not wrong to do it to others outside one's religion. What do you think about this?

The owner of the place I work at is a real jerk. How can I put my two weeks notice in without ticking someone like that off too much, or letting me get yelled at?

Ive been a very reliable, honest, no complaints worker.

I would say that today it is 2 Corinthians 12:9. Some of my traditional favourites are John 3:30, Romans 8:31-39, and of course Isaiah 40:31.

I just wanted to know what you thought on this subject. When a baby is born dead, do you think it had a spirit inside it's mother. And was that the babies chance at life?

I have posted a lot of questions. I never fail to get a lot of comments and saome answers. I get people telling me I am a Jesus freak. Some say I am an atheist. That gives me a clue that there are some people who do not know the difference. The fact is i do not know if there is a god or not and neither do you.

How do I stop feeling guilt and build trust with people again. Will it ever be the same? Or will people always have doubts about whether I'm being honest?

The logic follows, anyone can become a pope, so anyone can become the voice of GOD. Do people still belive this? this idea seems incredibly absurd to me.

We must keep Jesus in our heart and believe in god or we go to hell. The people who have never heard of Jesus get judged by some other factor after death or they have at that very moment to believe is what I've heard many people say. If this is true, why put the rest of us through all this? We must keep Jesus and god in our hearts and follow their word all our lives or we go to hell. Why do that when god could save everyone (himself included) a lot of trouble and simply judge all people by the same method he judges those who have never heard of Jesus or the Christian god?
If what I have heard others say is not true, please tell me what god does with the people who have never been introduced to Jesus, or the Christian god.

...or are there certain aspects of your belief system that you dont like to have challenged?

I just had an interesting conversation with someone who is part new age, part catholic, but when I asked a question challenging the validity of the Bible she made a facial expression that indicated to me that that question was taboo. I respected her and kindly ended the conversation.

This question is from my heart,I just would like to know. This is not a mean question, please know this.
In my Bible time today ,I was reading about the sin offerings. Christians go to God in Jesus name seeking forgiveness. We believe His blood covers our sins.
Please no mean answers,show respect .
Thank you.

This is only to the people who are guilty of these things (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!), but feel free to comment if you like. I'd really like to know why some people do these things.

Why on earth do you believe that your poor opinion about a certain faith or culture suddenly becomes an expert study, especially when you have little to know real knowledge of said religion/culture? Please, even if you don't like certain people (and you don't have to), do some research before you declare rediculous claims and claim that they are factual.

Why on earth do you insist to drive below the speed limit in the left lane? For crying out loud, if you don't want to speed or at least drive the speed limit, move over to the lane designated for slow drivers. There are even signs on highways now that state "Slow traffic keep right." It's for a reason ya know!

Years ago I was a regular church goer, but for whatever reason I stopped going. I never stopped praying or believing, I just did it where/when I wanted. I recently went to church and although I enjoyed the service, it is just not something I feel is necessary for me at this time. I pray each and every day, I deeply believe in God and know he is a higher power than we. My question to you is do you think it matters or is it wrong for me not to attend church on a regular basis? Does not attending make my prayers any less important? I hate walking around shouldering this quilt because I do not attend church and I am tired of defending my decision to my daughter and others. Do you have any advice for me?
