According to Christian belief, God is not only all powerful, all loving and all knowing, but he also sacrificed his Son Jesus so that our sins may be forgiven.

If God is all of these, why didn't he just do it himself without sending Jesus? Is he trying to impress us or what?

So, obviously, "God" ALWAYS expected them to have sex. So there's nothing wrong with it. End of story.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has stated that Prince Charles should not refer to himself as 'defender of the faiths' when he becomes king but should remain exclusively the 'defender of the faith', ie. the christian faith.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6996112.stm

Is the Archbishop right to claim that the Church of England should remain the dominant religion in the UK or should other faiths also be defended by our beloved and noble monarch?

I was baptised lutheran but parents never went to church or anything. Everything I believe in I have come to it myself. Well my children are not baptised and my hubby is roman catholic which he was brought up going to church and praying and whatnot, now I would really like to start going to church but I have no clue on what religion I think I would like or believe in. I do believe in the lord and certain things, I am a very I guess you could say traditional women but I am also open minded and believe I am not here to place judgement. Sometimes I question myself and even if I have faith because of my life and how it has been. But I am asking how do you come to find what religion you want to be ? Do I have to go and like somewhat interview the churches ? Please help with this, I think I owe it to myself and my kids to let them know about faith and church, god and sins and stuff. I also don't want it to be like a chore to go to church or be mostly boring, I have 3 young kids. Thanks

Why world peace is horrible:
world peace would be no violence no crulty to anyone or anything.

Police would be bored and out of a job noo people in prisins.
Bush would destroy the us in a different way.
There would be no guns no hunters no meat or knives.
You couldn't have alot of vegetables becuase animals are important and need to live off them.
Alians would take over the world with a plastic spork.
no fun
all conversations would have to be submitted in 2 weeks in advance.
no religion becuase it can offend someone.

so tell me why do you want world peace?

ROBELINE, La. - This village's only convenience store decided to do something nice for its police officers: give them a free fountain drink or coffee at closing time. But somewhere along the way, investigators say, it got out of control. Now, all three of the village's officers are accused of stealing snacks.

"Over a period of time, it evolved into regular drinks and more," Natchitoches Parish Sheriff's investigator Travis Trammell said. "There's no telling how it got to this point, but the store started experiencing losses and they watch their videotapes and see all of this going on."

Surveillance tapes showed each officer going into the Shop-A-Lott at Lott Oil around closing time and filling plastic bags with dozens of bottled soft drinks, Trammell said. The officers also are reportedly seen eating an assortment of other snacks without paying.

Police Chief Gordon O'Con confirmed that the officers remain on active duty, but said he was advised not to commment about their arrests. There was no answer at the police department Friday when The Associated Press made repeated calls seeking comment from the officers.

God’s covenant was with Abraham, what Jacob have to do with it? Please: don’t quote any biblical scripture.

I need koran’s references ONLY.

If the Arabs think that they are Ishmael’s descendants, why the Arabs speak Arabic only, instead Hebrew?

If the Arabs think that they are Ishmael’s descendants why the koran indicates that God made His covenant with Isaac and Jacob WITHOUT Ishmael?

If the Arabs are Ishmael’s descendants the son of Abraham, why the koran commands the believers to kill the Hebrews and the Christians?

They lied by pretending to know that that the sun orbited the earth when, in fact, the earth orbits the sun. Copernicus overthrew it around the year 1500.
Most importantly, why would anybody ever follow a church heirarchy again after learning of the b.s. that it spouted for centuries? If they lied once, they'll lie again and they've probably always lied.

why is it okay, in our society, that in public schools, or pretty much anywhere, its okay to talk about all religions and mythical gods, but everyone is totally opposed to Christianity? if you don't believe, then why would it make a difference to you?

is it because you know that Christianity is right and you're just afraid?



Jesus is amazing.



He loves you, whether you dont belive in him, if you hate christians, if you are a murderer..
Jesus loves you NO MATTER WHAT.

God Bless.

I never considered it before until I was studying another philosophy, one whose founder had many great one-liners. I found it remarkable but I’m easily impressed, and expect little from life.
