I was wondering how christians feel about the fact that the divinty of jesus was not established until long after he died, by a vote from the church. It was also a close vote at that

and all these religious zealots claiming to know the "ULTIMATE TRUTH!" (not just christians but I wanted to grab your attention)

Are they laughing hystercally at some of the things people manage to make themselves belive and how much of there time they are wasting? or are the lowering there heads in shame... or do you have a better answer.

How could they get into the celestial kingdom?

For that matter why do you think God requires secret handshakes (tokens) to get into His presence? DOn't you think He is more concerned with the heart? I mean, if someone is good and trusts in the Lord- do you really think they will be excluded because they don't know the "secret handshake?"

At two of our local cemetaries I have seen headstones with an engraved tilted cross. It is not completely on its side. Any idea what this means?

I can't take credit for this, I read it on a message board. But it sums up my beliefs very well:

"It's sad that in times when we are more globally connected than ever before, we choose to isolate ourselves and our children over stuff like this. Because, really, what does it matter? Why do I care why my neighbor treats me with respect and dignity, whether because he thinks me a child of God or a merely a fellow human, so long as they do in fact treat me with respect and dignity? And me them. It's the actions that matter, not the beliefs."

Forgive my ignorance, but a lot of people bring this up, and I don't know what it is.
I have dial up and wikipedia takes about 15 minutes to load one page, so if you could tell me?

In Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossilbe to please Him: for he who comest to God must believe that He Is & that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Then there is the faith of Noah, Abraham, Sarah, & others in Hebrew11.

Is faith in God to hear God & then to trust & obey God?

...people with free will, living in a world just like this one...only the world wouldn't contain evil, suffering, dying, or death...

If I can do that so easily, and I had all the power of God...Why didn't "God" do it that way?

(If your answer is "He has his reasons,"...they're not very good ones...If your answer is that "You cannot imagine what you claimed to be able to imagine"...well...I just did by telling you about it...If your answer is "There are things we were not meant to know or understand, or are capable of understanding..." Then...again...God messed up...cause I can imagine reasons why there would "be" no reason for us not to know or understand...)

So what it is, religious people...? If "I" can imagine all that, and the proof is that I just told you that I can by telling you about it...Why did God not do it that way also?

If it's that easy for me...it would have to be even easier for Him...Get it?!? The answer would be...He messed up...

Obviously they used to speak Latin, hence the name of their country, but what prompted the change to Spanish? My friend Oscar said he thinks it was because the people were having too hard a time doing math with Roman numerals. This kinda makes sense, because I can't even tell what year some movies and TV shows were made when they show the date with those letters. I can't even imagine trying to ADD letters or mutliply them and stuff.

Plus, Oscar is usually kinda full of crap, so I don't trust him on this.

Why are we dealing with so much racial tension these days?

Some people are trying to claim that hanging a noose from a tree is a hate crime. How exactly? What crime has been committed? What actual damage has been done?

It seems to me that this action was considered to be a threat rather than a prank. Why would you expell or even suspend students for pulling a "boyish prank"? Isn't that what kids do... joke around and play pranks on each other? The fact that the boys responsible for this act were suspended for three entire days makes it quite clear that their behavior was more than just a prank but rather a threat. Since it appears to be a threat, the boys should have not only been suspended but also arrested. If the law says that threatening to hit someone is the same as assault, isn't threatening to kill someone the same as murder or at least close to it? No doubt this act was not just a prank but a threat to kill. Something more should have been done.

what if you had the option to carry absolutely no keys? how much would that simplify your life? how many keys do you carry on average? I do not carry many keys but i know some people that have two seperate key chains for every car they own and about 5-7 keys on each of those keychains.

Christians' faith is grounded in evidence. Evidence like... the Bible, and what God does in their lives, and God's communication with them. Christians don't have faith that God exists - they KNOW God exists because of the evidence.

I think they have misinterpreted the evidence, just as Christians believe that Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists have misinterpreted their evidence.

What say you?

What are your opinions concerning whites/blacks dating ? I totally hate seeing a beautiful white lady with a black guy, as well as a beautiful black lady with a white guy ! I have a niece that is pregnant by a black guy and the family is totally against it, he has dated nothing but white women and when I asked him why he always goes for the white women, he said its a status thing among blacks to show the white man that he has power over the white woman. What do you think and would you sleep with someone of another race ?
