I'm having a lot of trouble understanding God and the Bible. I'm of Luthern religion which is Christian and I have a "Good News" Bible. The trouble is that the "Good News" Bible is nothing but bad news!

In Job, it's clearly said that humans and angels are forever unworthy of God. If it wasn't for Jesus' sacrifice for our sins we wouldn't have not a hope in the world of God accepting us. So basically you and I are pieces of **** from the beginning. Am I wrong? That makes me feel real good. Thanks for all the confidence Lord.

From all the stories I've read so far seems it that God is a mass murderer with an anger management problem. I can't believe how many times I've read that he's killed somebody.

Speaking of Job, what do you say to one of the servants that was killed while God and Satan made friendly bets on his devotion. What did any servant do wrong besides innocently serve Job? Nothing! He died because God said so. That's awful.

I can't believe it! Our Lord is out of control!

I have a question that has bothered he since i can rember.. ok in the bible it says,"Passage Exodus 20:4-6:

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."

if the bible says this why do you have saints?? and images?? and you bown down to them even pray to them and kiss them?? please let me know why... this has puzzled me for a while.... serious answers only!

Assuming there was no R&S and you had never encountered them here. Like if you met them at a party or a bar...or a library or church or bookstore or wherever you hang out.

I invite Christians to explain in their own words what science knows about evolution, how it works, and why every serious biologist on the planet accepts it as fact.

My best friend and I and my 8 year old decided to go out for breakfast one morning at a Waffle House. We were pretty famished at arrival and we walked inside to find no available tables. We were optimistic because we were the only ones waiting to be seated next.

We waited about 10 minutes or so, not very long, when 4 soldiers in uniform came in. Immediately someone at a table shouts out to them, "Over here! We are almost finished, you can sit at our table". So they stood up and as the soldiers began to walk to the table offered. One looked at us and said, "Well they were here first" and he was not heard and they sat down and were served.

I thought that we deserved to eat just as much as anyone else, and I was disturbed that these grown men were seated before two women and a child even though we had already been waiting. It didn't look as though another table would clear anytime soon so we left and went across the street.

What would you think if this happened to you?

Is it possible for another being to be brought inside of someones body? You know like a spirt living inside a humans body alongside the human? I have seen rare cases where this has happened and even my friends tried it on me. Im not sure that it worked though.

According to creation scientist Em Adjineri (say it out loud) there is celestial teapot that orbits the sun between Earth and Mars. It is too small to be detected by telescopes, and any attempts to locate it will be futile, because it hides very well.

The teapot has magical powers. For example, it created the universe. The teapot is so powerful, it can turn a thousand loaves of bread into just enough to feed three people. It can also turn wine into water, and raise the living.

Can any of you prove to me that such a teapot doesn't exist? Since you can't, you should worship it like I do.

I've filled the teapot with drinks. Anybody want one?

It isn't true. People got the idea that we worshipped Satan from an image they saw of Pan. Am I right? So why don't people actually try to learn about other religions any more?

This question follows on from "Did Satan give us Free Will?"

Once we get to the point of creating Artificial Intelligences that can think for themselves and make choices, is it right of us to still see them as property, or should they at that point become people in their own right? Is it slavery to keep something you create in bondage?

well i don't have a girlfriend but there is a girl i really like and we talk like all the time. i like everything about her but the fact that she is bisexual. i know most of my friends and maybe other guys would say "why would i not like to have a bisexual girl, it means you can have 3somes and more" but i really don't care for all that. i mean its all cool to know that we have things in common but to know that we both like girls is kind of disturbing but i don't want to change that about her because that's who she is. i mean how do i cope with having a bisexual girlfriend without being disturb by the fact that she talks about how sexy other girls look with me. i mean i want to turn her bisexuality into a good thing but at the same time still respect her as a person and treat her as if she was a straight girlfriend too, :?

I took a faith test last night (I forget what the site was) and it said I was 100% Neo Pagan. I have heard of it, but never looked into it. I am very strong in my beliefs but I just don't label myself. I am so not into religion (rules that determine if you're 'saved' or 'spiritual' or not) at all. Would just like some more info about the neo-pagan faith.

Think about it: God creates man, an innocent, with no knowledge, no real sense of self, no nothing - we're basically a showpiece in a garden.

By tempting us into eating from the tree Satan gives us the capacity to choose, thereby releasing us from God's tyranny.

Incidentally, many Gnostic groups, most notably the Ophidians, believed exactly this.
