ok, this seems petty, but im interested to c what other people would do. i was just in a busy bakery and i heard a smash and this guy dropped a bottle of coke and it shattered inside the plastic bag he had it in. he was wearing a business suit and got a bit wet too. everyone just stared and walked past him. Not knowing how i could help, i just sort of gave a sympathetic smile and walked past like everyone else!!! i feel so bad!!! i couldnt have helped him in anyway but what would u do in a situation like this. i couldnt help him clean it up coz all the glass was in the plastic bag and i wasnt going to go get the mop! lol

I think, and I may be wrong, that it is , in a religious sense, not having the capability to feel what other humans feel (lack of empathy ).

my favorite

Psalm 50
A psalm of Asaph.
1 The Mighty One, God, the LORD,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.

2 From Zion, perfect in beauty,
God shines forth.

3 Our God comes and will not be silent;
a fire devours before him,
and around him a tempest rages.

4 He summons the heavens above,
and the earth, that he may judge his people:

5 "Gather to me my consecrated ones,
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6 And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,
for God himself is judge.

So, I hate the way my voice sounds. It's not the quality, it's just the way I speak. Somethings I try and pick up on but I need your help on what off sets men as sounding effeminate and ultimately, gay and what I can do to change this. Basically, what makes a guy sound gay vs straight?

The Church as we know it today, was started by Gentiles who threw off righteousness to maintain an identity as Hellenists and pagans. In the days of Paul, the followers of Mashiyach met in synagogues, celebrated the Shabbat and learned the Way of the Torah Mashiyach. It 190 C.E. Marcion built the first "church" and he birthed the theologies of the "Old and New Testament", Dispensationalism and Replacement Theology became a Christian value as it remains to this day.

Today the Christian church at large has adopted the pagan festivals Christmas, Easter and Sunday which where introduced into Christianity many years after Paul, yet Paul is credited for bringing this paganism into "the church"? NO, the fact of the matter is that the Gentile "Church Fathers", like Tertullian and Marcion are responsible for the Hellenism, not Paul.

He is not the "founder" of your falling on the floor Pagan worship "Church"

Worship Pagan Rome, its true founder.

and blaspheme. Honestly, when your life starts to fall apart don't be too shocked. God is so loving that He doesn't wipe you out here and now. He always waits for you to turn around and believe.

I don't know why you come to this site anyway as it is the religion site and you obviously hate religion.

...that are new accounts. I know a few people lost accounts recently, and I know most of you, and I am not addressing this to old friends.I posted a question recently that I thought a polite thing to do was to introduce yourself by email, rather than coming in without an invitation. I have always asked, but I realize that is not the norm. I am saying if you are an old friend and are deleted, please contact me, and we will reconnect. My contacts are diversified, and that is the way I want it. If you have a problem sharing a forum with all types of belief systems, kindly remove yourself. Mind you, I am who I am, but I do believe this is a place to learn, and maybe even pass on a little to someone else.

according to jehovah's witness doctrin, 144k are the only ones the bible says are going to heaven to rule with jesus right? how are they going to get there? will they be raptured physically? or will thier souls be taken up to heaven either after thier death or during the great tribulation? and if thier souls were to go up then why are they the only ones who get souls? i want one to. or do i have to be worthy enough to have a soul? hmmm.
and what about that teaching in leviticus 17:11 in the new world translation (jehovah witness exclusive bible) were it says the soul of the flesh is in the blood. how could an anointed person go to heaven if thier soul is in the blood?
i am being serious. i would really appreciate an answer. thank you
much respect.

Shouldn't the Christian community do a greater work in supporting the rights and provision of Palestinian Christians, and other Arab Christians than helping Israeli Jews who reject Jesus as the Messiah?

I don't follow much about Israeli laws and such but it seems like they follow a form of apartheid or caste system by treating Jews with darker skin lower than those of European descent. Don't they also issue racist ID cards to Arabs?

Help answer my question Christians.

why don't they leave if they don't like the USA? and why do they hate this great country?

for example, many of them come here to study, but they deny that the USA has the best universities in the world and is very generous with scholarships...

History and any solid research tells us that the oldest living religion is Hinduism with the vadic scriptures in sanscrit going back 4000 years. There were many pagan religions that predate the Jewish religion and Christanity and Islam are relative new comers. If we have a loving and merciful God how can we only have one path and what about all the people who never belived in the God of the Jews or in Jesus. It seems to me that if you believe in only one truth it allows you to diminish people of other faiths. This in turns allows us to have wars such as the Shia and Sunni or the many Christian wars in European History. Fundamentalism seems to be a harmful force in the world. I would like to hear thoughtful responses to this question.

Do you worship his hate and his fear as truth and is it no wonder our lives are so messed up if you see how he acted as perfection?

When he said to slay his enemies at his feet or called pharasees' teachers "father the devil", is this the Christ the Christians worship and the reason they are willing to learn to kill instead of rationalize with their enemies in their languages?

Why are we not teaching our children to speak our enemies' language and teach them to love and debate to a civilized way of life?
