I feel as if god has forsaken me. I've even started to question his existence. Every time I see a sign that says the end is near I'm filled with annoyance and it bugs me. I can't stand to be around a lot of things religious oriented. I'm also not fond of being preached too. Now I DO NOT HATE ANY ONE OF ANY FAITH. Just to make that clear. But why would I be so mad? Maybe because I have a religious father who's pressured me with fire and brimstone to get saved? I don't know please give me ideas and lead me on the right path or what you think is right. But Please Don't get the idea that I'm a bigot or have any religious intolerance.
Thank You.

If a man says it is better that a man steal five cents rather than a million dollars he is agreeing that this sin is less than another which is okay because man is not perfect, If God is perfect ALL sin is bad and all worthy of death. If God agrees in any way with any sin he is not a perfect God. It is the reason the wages of sin is death and the reason God came to the world in the form of man to overcome sin and death.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

-Amen- It is Jesus! He is the one who forgives us our sins and saves us from the wrath of God-- as Romans 5:8-9 says "But God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were sinners Christ died for us"
Do you believe this?

This is a fact everyone else agree or not agree. It does not matter at the end you all well agree and please mormons stop saying your Christians, when Christians are based on the bible and believe it to be 100 percent accurate. Unlike you screw ups to society.

I want to start off by saying that i think that woman should ultimately be able to have an abortion, but I am not looking for a fight, but just answers. This question is mainly for pro-life people.
If you or your girlfriend was pregnant with a severely retarded baby, would you still bring it into the world? The same goes for any other horrible diseases and ailments. Would you still choose to bring the baby into the world? My psychology teacher asked this to pro-life teens, but they seemed stumped.

Ok so let me get this straight, I can be a mass murderer my whole life. I can dismember children in front of their parents. I can kill ever living thing and on my deathbed if I ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus into my life I will go to heaven? But If I have no belief in god for my whole life but I am a good person and treat everyone with respect, I do good things to benefit society, then when I die I have to burn eternaly in hell? Sounds a little suspect to me.

Is interracial marriage and dating still looked upon as wrong amongst the majority of Americans? My husband and I go to the store and both black and white people give us disgusted looks and shake their heads in shame. We laugh it off, but what the hell do people care if it is not them?

Should move out of America and start their own Theocracy in which they base all of their own laws on biblical law and only allow other Christians to be a part of their society? Perhaps it could say something like " Freedom only for Christians" Instead of Freedom of Religion. They could pray in schools, teach Creationism and live in the happy utopian society that they so much crave. Thoughts?

So OK, I know it's always up to me to follow my own heart, but this one's got me feeling a little odd. I went downstairs and opened the door, fully intending to tell them I was perfectly happy living a sinful life, and that I found their beliefs offensive and distasteful and their methods suspect. I had even planned out my spiel about how much damage the Mormon church has done to some friends of mine over the years, and plead with them to think deeply about their beliefs.

But when I got down there, I couldn't do it. Two poor, brain-washed 19 year old boys stood in front of me, sweating like crazy in the heat, with this puppy dog don't-hit-me-look, and I totally caved. Instead of taking my chance to do a little missionary work on them (whoa, does THAT sound wrong) and get a few points in for our side, I chatted pleasantly and gave one a glass of water.

I know it's not for you to judge me, (not for them either, ha!) but what do you guys do when they show up?

“…Hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”

Do you warn your enemies?
Do you warn your neighbors?
Do you warn your friends?
Do you warn your family?

Do you love them?

What of their blood required at your hand?
What of your soul?

I'm Christian, believe God exists.. is masturbation a sin? This is a really troubling discussion for almost every teen that believes in HIM, I believe. I'm a 13 year old girl. Okay, I started "playing" with a bear of mine when I was maybe 6? Let me skip some details. Anyway, is masturbation a sin? First off, atheist answers WILL NOT help me. I'd prefer someone who struggled with this. Nor do I need to know if it's HEALTHY or not, I know it is healthy. Is it a SIN, according to Jesus's law, or not? The Onan story does not refer to masturbation, so that won't count for me either. Why is it a sin, if it is, and will I really go to hell for masturbating? I'm not technically "spilling seed" since I'm female. Or does God intend for us to only be sexual with our spouses present? Is it possible to masturbate without thinking images, which is technically impossible (I've tried)? Is it lust? Iff we are married, can we masturbate and think of our spouse, or is masturbation OFF LIMITS completely?

Why do so many people question others' beliefs, when surely we would be better off questioning our own?

Not only would we become more secure in our beliefs, we would also develop an understanding for members of other religions.

I don't see anything negative about that.

I see PLENTY negative with everyone firing off insults and generally being closed minded.

Think about it.

Then tell me, if (insert your religion here) teaches love, why is there not a great big amount going round in here?

non-religious people may not follow a religion, but that does not mean they have no morals. They would certainly be more loving towards the religious if the religious were more loving to them.

I want to extend my love to everyone who reads and answers this question, along with this:

((((hugs))))

I mean, especially in the Republican party, who usually act like they are so much better than everyone else....I'm not either Republican or Democrat, because I don't trust or believe in ANY of them.
By the way, I'm talking about the guy who was caught in the Minneapolis Airport sticking his hand and head into another stall........Plus he pleaded guilty!!!! FREAK!

I went into my church several years ago to talk to the pastor about baptism. To see if I was ready, he asked what evangelism means to me. I was like 8 years old so I didn't even know what that word meant, so he said I wasn't ready. 2 days ago at my church they were doing baptism and my sister told me I should do it because it's important, but I've kind of been scared away. Why is it important? Where in the Bible does it say that being pushed underwater is necessary to go to Heaven? How can I become ready?

"...whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness and is guilty of an eternal sin." (Mark 3:29)"


if you are guilty of blaspheme,you are going to hell according to the bible.Why bother to repent when Jesus clearly said it is UNFORGIVABLE.

If you disagree that an eternal sin will not commit you to hell,then what would the punishment be if heaven is supposed to be "perfect"?

You only get one life..Then people like Owen Smith who just tried to commit suicide, Elvis Presley, Princess Diana (UNHAPPY),scores of more people who have everything, Love, Money, Family Friends are STILL not happy...
In this world of materialism more people are unhappy looking for fullfillment in anti-depressants,alcohol, drugs, loveless sexual relationships....
WHY IS THAT?
JESUS CHRIST said If you value your life and posessions more than GOD you will surely lose them, and you all know you are
going to lose your physical life and all your material posessions...

SO what eternal promise do you have in this life???
With GOD you have a eternal promise you will never lose.
