In the movie "Dogma" there was an angel that spoke for God. Was this something made up for the movie or does the bible tell of an angel that is a messenger for God? Does that angel have a name?

Jesus didnt stay on the earth to give the message to the Non Jews......... he sent out other people who mixed their own ideas with the message of Jesus.

Why didnt Jesus goto the Non Jews with his message ?

I was just wondering, because that's what the common folklore says!

Notice: I wouldn't scratch too hard as to cause pain.

Are IN SOME CASES catholic priests and popes the 'pharasees' of today?

this is not to say negatively of these ministers, many do a fantastic job. but Jesus came to correct those who were known as righteous and the religious leaders of the day. what are you thoughts here friends?

I think it's wrong what others are doing to this individual. They are ignoring her. In my opinion that is very wrong. But she greatly irritates me too. Will she have no choice, but to eventually change in this environment? I feel embarrassed for her. I want to tell her that it doesn't matter what others think, but sometimes being yourself in this society is not acceptable. I feel that in some ways she is a mirror of myself or maybe she is a mirror of all the negative things that we hate about ourselves. She represents it. What should I do? If I were in her position what would I do? Happiness is fleeting. I wish everyone was happy. I wish people didn't form clicks. ;(

I mean, according to you guys, gays ~turn~ gay, and aren't born that way. So just wondering, how do you think they came to the decision.

I'm thinking they were just like "How could I sin today? Oh I know, I'll change my entire lifestyle and be gay."

What do you think it was?

behaviour, disease...)
but i (gay) cannot say what i think of christians?
why is that christians have to be respected when they dont respect?
just because they have a book??? i can write 20 if that is all it takes.
why do they ask people not to generalize when they are generalizing?
why is that i feel like vomiting when i hear them speaking of homosexuality?
and above all, why dont they just shut up and pray?
note_ yes, i have angry issues and i am gay so better not meeting me in the streets...

Romans 5:10
For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, MUCH MORE we will be saved IN HIS LIFE, having been reconciled"

Truly a verse to open up for sharing.
Some things I have noticed. We were enemies.. We were Reconciled yet we will be saved much more in His Life having BEEN reconciled.

What is this " Being saved in His life'
We know that through His death we are brough nigh to God.. but In His life we will be saved much more.
I'd truly appreciate some indepth sharing on this matter:)

Ty so much for your labour of love

... expressed love and turn it into something despicable and dirty?

Its like emotions don't even occur to them and they obssess over the physical expression of it.

For example... demonizing sex outside marriage, demonizing homosexual love because of the way they physically express it, etc.

Seriously, you turn it into the forbidden fruit by making sex into something disgusting to be reviled.

Why? If you accepted it as natural and normal (like most people in the world do), there'd be fewer problems in the world.

And don't give me silly blather about god. God has nothing to do with it. Even he wouldn't want you to hate people, or treat them as less than human (like deny them the ability to marry who they wish for love) because you don't like what they physically do with each other. Think about it this way... your god didn't create your bodies so you could make them out to be something disgusting.

Scripture states the path that leads to life is narrow and few find it. The one that leads to destruction is wide and many are on the path.

Do you think you are on the right path?

When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior at what point did you know you were saved?
My husband said he was in the choir and he closed his eyes to pray and said Lord i am not worthy of the food presented before me today, i can not accept the humblness of the church for i have not given myself to you wholey - and as he is praying this his mother heard a verse in her head something like, be quiet and see my work be done, something like that.
Well my husband says he never felt himself move, he never heard a thing, but when he opened his eyes, he was knelt before the preacher who was a good 20 foot distance from the choir. He knew at that moment he was saved.
I accept Jesus, but have not felt that movement. There was an odd thing that happened when i was pregnant, faced losing my child and i prayed all day long for this thing to happen but i won't write it's too long. How do you know you are saved?

LAUGH? i personally believe He did...He must have cracked up at the dumbfounded looks on people's faces when He performed miracles-and He was said to have loved children-how can you spend any time with kids and NOT laugh? or how about the times when He managed to slip away in the crowds and avoid being arrested-can you say 'nanny, nanny boo-boo, can't catch me?' or when He changed water to wine and rescued a wedding feast that was in danger of being a total flop-all those people dancing, laughing, celebrating-how could He have resisted a chuckle or two?
so PLEASE tell me why we as Christians have to show such a sour face so much of the time? is salvation not a joyful thing? are we not delighted to be part of His church? you'd be hard-pressed to see it sometimes! come on, Christians, this is the day that the Lord has made-let's all rejoice and be glad!

When I see a Christian say that they act morally because of God I get a little scared. They don't want to murder or steal or do anything else that is regarded as bad because it's a sin. They think that is the what morality is; being told what to do and what not to do by some kind of supernatural power. Does anyone else think this reasoning is seriously flawed?

My dog licks her butt, my cat licks herself, and my birds eat their own poop. You think since animals do it, that makes it appropriate or right for us? Aren't we supposed to be better then them instead of reducing ourselves to their strange ways?

Hi, im 20, and a guy and i have a problem with my last name, everyone thinks im mexican because of my last name, even though both my parents are from Europe. My full name is Alex Domingo Rodriguez. I was wondering if anyone can come up with a good last name for me, preffereably using the letters from my last and middle name. Im tired of being stereotyped as mexican, just because of my last name, seriously my skin isnt even that dark. its not that i dont like mexicans its just that a lot of negative sterotyping is towards people of mexican descent and i dont want any part of it. Whoever has the best idea for a new last name gets the points
