If you were alive 3000 years ago, you'd probably be religious just like everyone else at the time. Lets say you lived in Greece, and your whole family believed with all of there hearts that there religion was true and prayed very hard everyday and even thought that there prayers were working. Would you be an atheist back then and tell all of these people that there religion is just a fairy tale and that they were crazy to think that praying to zeus actually makes a difference in there life?

I am an EFL teacher (but I am not a native English speaker) and one of my students keeps using the expression "according to me" meaning "in my opinion"...I have been telling her it's wrong but she insists some previous teachers have told her it's a formal way of saying "in my opinion"...in all my years as an English teacher/student I have never heard of such a thing...who is right? natives only please

Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri has recently returned from her vacation, where she encountered several omens suggesting the rapture was at hand.
On the first night of her vacation, Em Adjineri saw a skydiver. The skydiver emerged from the clouds and alighted to Earth. (Revelation 1:7)
His hair was white, and his eyes were red (he was old and wore contact lenses to look cool.) (Revelation 1:14)
On his hand was a tattoo of the Pleiades (seven stars), and his beard was shaved to look like a sword. (Revelation 1:16)
On the second night, Em Adjineri went to make some bets at the track, where she saw four horsemen. (Revelation 6)
On her last night, she went to an animal show, where a bunch of seals were locked up in cages. They were then opened one at a time by a lamb. (Revelation 6:1, 6:3, 6:5, 6:7, 6:9, 6:12, and 8:1)
Since all these prophecies from the book of revelation are coming true, isn't the rapture upon us? Repent!

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

I believe the Word of God to be The Truth--the Living Truth--that shall set us free.
What are Christian organization teaching in regards to false christs and false prophets?
What biblical guidelines are christians to follow to help them discern whether something they are being taught is the truth or a lie or even a deception of those false Christs and false prophets?
Matthew 24:23-27, "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

does this act of prayer not just empty your conscience of guilt, for not taking direct action. I see prayer as a way to satify your conscience, not as a way to help others

Today we played and triend to contact Abraham Lincoln. We got someone within a minute again. We asked if anyone was there they said C U. Then they said goodbye. What is up?

People are people, we commit mistake. When we commit mistake and ponder on it. The person who committed the sin would regretted and basically would beg for pardon. Should we expect that the person we have done wrong would totally forgive us? How would we the person who was hurted know that the other person is truely sorry for the mistake done?

A person was trying to start his mobike and he had kicked the starting pedal some 35/40 times. I saw that the electric wire leading to the spark plug was out of place and hanging. I went to him and put the wire on the plug and the engine started. The fellow said "o.k. o.k. ' I know, I know " and went away. His behaviour was beyond my understanding. Please tell me what do you think of it.

Has anyone ever asked you if you are "saved"? Some people promote a very attractive idea: All true Christians, regardless of how they live, have an absolute assurance of salvation, once they accept Jesus into their hearts as "their personal Lord and Savior." The problem is that this belief is contrary to the Bible & constant Christian teaching.
Recall this Scripture: "If we have died with him [in baptism; see Rom. 6:3-4] we shall also live with him; if we persevere we shall also reign with him" (2 Tim. 2:11-12). So, ff we do NOT persevere, we shall NOT reign with him. In other words, Christians can forfeit heaven. Jesus tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46). Ergo, if you do not endure to the end, well........
The Bible makes it clear that Christians have a moral assurance of salvation (God will be true to his word and will grant salvation to those who have faith in Christ and are obedient to him [1 John 3:19-24])......

My buddy and I have worked together fixing up his properties for 3 years. The one apartment I live in has special meaning to both of us, as it took 3 years to finish, but he "gave" it to me at a reduced rent because I still help renovate his apartments for new tenants, sometimes 20 plus hours a week after work and weekends, I work late and almost always come home to him either being in my space or knowing he has been in there. I trust him but it seems very very wierd to me. What does one do when they are in another's home and they aren't there? I am a private and neat person and even call my parents if I just want to get something out of their garage (I have some things stored there) One day he even brought a friend through and showed our progress without even thinking of asking. Just "hey look what the place looks like" and walk right in. The guys my best friend but my landlord too and I have a sweet deal $$$. What do I do/ say? I have never experienced a situation like this.

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?
4. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?
5. Isn't it possible that all you need is a good gay lover?
6. Heterosexuals have histories of failure in gay relationships. Do you think you may have turned to heterosexuality out of fear of rejection?
7. If you've never slept with a person of the same sex, how do you know that you wouldn't prefer that?
8. If heterosexuality is normal, why are a disproportionate number of mental patients heterosexual?
9. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?
10. Your heterosexuality doesn't offend me so long as you don't try to force it on me. Why do you people feel compelled to seduce others into your sexual orientation?
11. If you should choose to nurture children, would you want them to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they would face?
12. The great majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you really consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexual teachers?
13. Why do you insist on being so obvious, and making a public spectacle of your heterosexuality? Can't you just be who you are and keep it quiet?
14. How can you ever hope to become a whole person if you limit yourself to a compulsive, exclusive, heterosexual object choice, and remain unwilling to explore and develop your normal, healthy, God-given homosexual potential?
15. Heterosexuals are noted for assigning themselves and each other narrowly restricted, stereotyped sex-roles. Why do you cling to such unhealthy role playing?
16. How can you enjoy a fully satisfying sexual experience or deep emotional rapport with a person of the opposite sex, when the obvious, biological, and temperamental differences between you are so vast? How can a man understand what pleases a woman sexually, or vice versa?
17. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?
18. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
19. Shouldn't you ask the fringe straight types, like swingers, Hell's Angels, and Jesus freaks, to conform more? Wouldn't that improve your image?
20. How could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual, considering the menace of overpopulation?
21. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed with which you might be able to change if you really want to. Have you considered trying aversion therapy?
22. Do heterosexuals hate or distrust others of the same sex? Is that what makes them heterosexual?
23. Why are heterosexuals so promiscuous?
24. Could you really trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective and unbiased? Don't you fear he/she might be inclined to influence you in the direction of her/his own feelings?
If you really took this questionnaire seriously, right now, you're probably feeling a bit depressed, defensive, and maybe even a little ashamed. Well, now imagine that this were real, not just a little exercise. Rather, it was all of society, your family, your friends asking you these questions and really wanting the answers. Not only is your own knowledge of your own sexuality, feelings, and body questioned, but now you must defend a whole group of people who happen to have one similarity with you, most of whom you've never even meet because to fail to do so in any way, in anyone's eyes is to say that you are *fill in the stereotype or negative image*, just like they are.
Now you have a better idea of how LGBT persons feel every day.
