and people? do you think he just magically zapped them there, or used evolution, etc.
also, if you believe in adam and eve, do you think god created adam as a fetus, or as a full grown man?

Hi, I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and I am no longer in that religion through much research and self reflection and Im very confident and happy with my decision. I am a Christian but I have never been baptised and as of now I dont belong to any particular church. I would like to know if you need to be baptised to go to heaven. Any info or help with this question is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have read this scriputer multiple times, but need to know the exact passage. It says something along the lines of "only those who hate their parents will find heaven". I don't remember the exact verbage, nor the exact passage. Also, I'm pretty sure I understand the meaning of the verse, but if you would care to comment that would be appreciated too. If I understand the passage correctly I take it to mean that you must reject the teachings of your Earthly parents and embrace the lessons of your Heavenly Father. Ofcourse I cannot delve any further in to it until I find the passage again, so if anyone out there could help it would be much appreciated.

Are they the same?

I have noticed that my contacts are usually neutral and don't differentiate between atheists and christians for picking best answer, they pick what they think is best answer.

I've never been in that position, but of course I would if it would save a life. If somehow I lost my life, well I know where I'd be going so that would be fine.

My friend gave her youngest brother a kidney several years ago. It saved his life, but he never changed his lifestyle -still drinks too much - and she's become very bitter over it. I just can't get her past that. I've even reminded her that God tells us we're to forgive, and her response is that she knows she has to forgive, but God didn't say when we had to forgive. Sigh. She can be a challenge, but I love her.

So, would you give up a body part for someone with no strings attached?

Judges chapter 11. Our Pastor mentioned this in his sermon and he said Jepthah was 100% wrong for doing this. I wonder why the writter of Judges even included it in the book. Is there anybody that can give me a reason why that story is in the Bible and what we can learn from this? Old Jephthah returned from battle and his daughter just wanted some time to go mourn with her friends that she was going to have to die a virgin. Isn't this like the same thing radical Muslims do when they strap a bomb to their child and tell them and make them die in the name of Allah?

I asked a Q's and then gave a little tutorial as I ussually do, this bothers people for some reason. I'm somewhat at a loss as to why I hear its to long and there are mistake's, I would like to think that its ussually a good read, but I might be a little to enambered with myself. Anyway it's been my experience that christians are'nt on the same page when it comes to evolution, and I'm used to that. But when I mentioned missing links such as Erectus,Habilus,Lucy,Goliath, and other humans such as Neandethal and the Hobbits the evolution crowd indicated I might be full of it. Well, unless I'm going to believe in the whole Satan is in those scientists and there lying, (crowd) I have on good authority, that scientists discovered a human species on th Island of Flores in Indonesia.They are decendants of Erectus, who then were isolated on the island and dwarfism set in, they evolved to half the size of Erectus. I throw this Q's here for obvious reason's. Have you heard about them,(plural)?

God keeps a lot of secrets, I am still wondering about reinacarnation here. I have heard it said many times that if it was real God would have told us. and thats just not true, there are many secrets from God he even says so. I have had many say, they dont believe it because they dont want to, they dont want to think about coming back at all, they want to be in heaven with God forever, not come back, so they refuse to even accept the possibility that we may get reincarnated. please dont say, man is apointed to die once and then be judged, I am so tired of hearing that. yes man will die one time, but how many times does he have to live before he really dies?

I know that Jews are not supposed to eat milk and meat together [or within some time] but how did they manage with cheese before the advent of vegetarian rennet?

Previously cheese would have contained an animal product.

The christian faith bows to public pressure and rewrites its beliefs to appease public opinion. Islam is as true to its beliefs as it was a thousand years ago. They are steadfast to their beliefs and do not rewrite it. What does this say about christianity?

According to the Bible, all people sin, even righteous people. Ecclesiastes 7:20 says "There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.."

So, even if one is righteous, as a human we sin sometimes.

What is the cutoff on sinning? How much is too much before one is no longer a "true" Christian?

Even Jesus doesn't judge those who commit sins - he SAVES them. John 12:47 states "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it."

It is not for us to judge other's worth in salvation. Luke 6:37
states "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."

So, if someone commits the sin of sodomy, of whatever kind (hetero or homo -- remember, unnatural acts between same sex couples are also sins.... and that's true of even husbands and wives! Think of that, next time you try manual, oral or an@l with your wife or girlfriend...) - your job is not judge them or condemn them. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Am I wrong?

do they agree with each other? i know it is common place for it to be taboo to get piercings, tattoos, but what about plastic surgery. when they wrote the bible that was not an issue. now i am not talking gender changing surgery or anything, but body improvements. like breast enlarge/reduction, penis reduction/enlarging, butt implants, etc...

i need to have my breast reduced, causing medical problems, but i was thinking it would be nice to get tummy tuck (those babies wreak havoc), and maybe a butt implant while i was under the knife. I think it would be to the glory of my hubby:) also see my other question on this same issue for part 2...

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE dont go off on me and tell me to grow up, because if you only clicked on this to back me for believing in God then you need to spend your time a little better.

Here are ALL of my questions.
Why is it so wrong to have faith in something?
Why am I such a awesul person because I believe something will actually happen to me when I die?
Why do MOST atheists judge me by their other experiences??
Why have you chosen to believe nothing?
Did you just choose it? Or did something happen to you?

And for christains...I believe in god but I need to know:
Why do most people try and shove religion down peoples throats?
Why do you call atheists stupid? Its not going to make them like us even more!
Why do I feel like the two groups are at war with eachother?
Why cant you just acdept that other people dont believe what you believe?

And advice for BOTH...
Christains and Atheists...Dont try and convice one another that they are wrong, its a waste of time.
