Please explain what a lukewarm Christian is and what "spit you out of my mouth" means. How will God spit out the lukewarm Christians. What exactly will he do to them.

I'm a Mormon, and I believe that we are. I'd also possibly like to know why you might think that we aren't.

Alternately, you can name what religions you can think of that are not Christian (preferably ones that claim to be at least loosely affiliated with Christianity), but I'd appreciate it if you'd be so kind as to specify whether you're listing Christian or non, and if both, which is which.

I just want to better understand the people around me, and see whether it's just Mormons that are getting picked on. (Because it sure feels that way sometimes).

I am reading about Samhain and the Horned God came up. I am under the impression that The Horned God is the primal, active force within all things, a wild man unfettered by civilization and driven by primal instincts. He is the Lord of the Forest and of animals. He is both hunter and hunted - he who slays so others can live, and he who dies to nourish others in the natural cycle. He rules the season of winter, when the earth is dead and primitive people had to survive by hunting instead of gathering or farming. He represents male sexuality, as the phallic nature of his horns suggest, virility, and strength. He is Lord of the Underworld, as indicated in the Legend of the Descent of the Goddess. He is also sometimes connected with the mythological Wild Hunt. Is this true or did I find somthing totally untrue.......

church, as well as in his company-he chose to be among sinners. The fact is, currupt people do not diminish the holiness of chirst church, of whom the bible says is holy and without blemish. That is the teachings of Christ that is holy and without blemish, and the catholic church keeps his teachings and will forever hold them as her price-less, and uncomprimising treasures.

my 4yr old sister was playing with our neighbor Jada who is 6 at her house. my sister came home screaming to my dad that Jada step dad was hitting Jada again (he hits Jada mum too).
My dad went to their house, stopped the step dad, took him outside & beat him.
The other neighbors called the police & told my dad it is none of his business. My dad said he is tired of that man beating on Jada & her mom & the police do nothing.
The step dad does'nt live there anymore.
Is what my dad did good or bad?

PLEASE TRANSLATE THE FOLLOWING:

"I think going out would be fun. We should go to a casual Italian restaurant where they have lots of traditional Italian meals."

"I know a great place! It is called La Paesana! They have lots of traditional Italian meals. The pasta is exquisite!"

"That sounds perfect!"

"I agree!"

Ulrich Zwingli was teaching reform in Zurich in 1522. His doctrine was the most radical of any of the Reformers when He forbade the corporeal Christ from worship as he showed to have no reverence for the orthodoxy of the Church and based his disbelief on his doubts that God could perform such a miracle and doubted the need to be present at the cross as Christ commanded at the Last Supper in celebrating the sacrifice of the Mass. He totally rejected the ancient liturgy of the Church out of his desire to align with the secular authorities of the princes rather than the authority of the Church. Having priests ordained in apostolic succession being necessary for the Sacraments and especially the Eucharist would make it impossible to separate completely from the Church so it was necessary to deny Christ’s presence and reject the liturgy of the mass that allowed the corporeal Christ to be present in worship.

Im in Australia, and a political party called Family First, they advocate many christian values and wish to enforce these agendas.

Who out there believes that such a party should be allowed to make policy when most of there agenda points to a particular religious faith. this is suposed to be a free country with religious and personal choice, however if they have power then certain choices will be outlawed

Like you have to wear a certain type of clothing or do your hair a certain way so you won't embarrass yourself in public
it's so annoying
Why can't the person just be left the way they are and enjoy themselves they way they are
without having to be someone they are not

Where I live there is a giant cross up on a hill overlooking the city. An atheist back when I was a kid tried to get it removed through legal proceedings, and ultimately failed. So I was wondering if someone were to put a pentagram up there if anyone could legally take it down (it is public land). I mean if the cross is allowed up there, then why shouldn't someone else's religious symbol be allowed? I'm not satanic and I don't really care if religious symbols are up on the hill as long as they are treated equally. That's what I'm all about. What do you think?

Are you disappointed that it spoke against your lifestyle?

If we follow the ordinances of man, why not follow the ordinances of God.

If the law punish criminals, does God who is just has no right to judge sinners?

Dura lex, sed lex "The law is harsh, but it is the law"
