Now I know this question looks right at Jesus... And many people may say I'm bashing him, but I'm not. If the church tells me that Jesus, a single man with great powers and a wonderful mind, was sent to save mankind by his father, Mr. God. Now, his son was born into flesh, blood and bone and was meant to feel what humans feel - like, for example, a sex drive. He spent 33 years here on earth and never once gave in to the 'temptation of the flesh' (not really a sin to have sex, biologically speaking, its how we pass on genes) - but yet hung around with 12 guys and went everywhere with them. And even turned water into wine around them.

But my real questions concerns this - does God hate gay people? I know in Iran he does - since no gay people live there. Do muslims hate homosexuals as much as Christians do?

Oh - I mean Christians love gays but we won't let them get married-Jesus told us so when he was hanging out with those 12 guys and a girl which he never got with. Hmmm...

someone emails you to criticize and completely put down your beliefs, but when you respond to defend yourself and call them out on their ignorance, they threaten to report you for harrasment? i don't get it...i guess some religious folk don't like people standing up to them.

Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

Wouldn't he wait until we matured a little bit as a species? I mean how is it that he did so much 6000-2000 years ago but recently his works have not been known? But we must have faith while he is on vacation for 2000 years? Would't he just do some sort of a press conference (like the president) and tell us how he created everything and what laws he expects us to live by and do it translated into every language to avoid the contradictions we have today?

Don't kill OT (God)
Exodus 20:13 Thou shall not murder (ten commandments)

Do kill (God)
Deuteronomy 13:6-10 If your wife son or best friend asks you to worship other gods you are to put them to death.

Don't kill NT (Jesus)
Matthew 22:39 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Do kill NT (Jesus)
Luke 19:27 Those who did not believe, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Do you see contradiction? Don't even get me started on the skewed sense of science....See Genesis 1:1-50:26 for Starters.

If so, why? Because it has the big "c" word in it? It's not meant to be offensive. I suppose I find humor in weird things.

I have posted that I recieve alot of black on white racism and see thats it's openly televised with no reprecusions.
I wanted to organize a march against it. Not a racist movement a anti racist movement.
But it seems that yahoo answers just won't allow it even though they allow any other cause.
They are trying to quite me even though I donot agress against my suppliers of racism in an unconstitutional way.
Why is this? I don't care if we are the majority..I don't want it for the minority or majority

I have found the following ideologies very interesting and compatible in a lot of cases with my faith:

Some paganism
Taoism
Buddhism
Zoroasterianism (did i spell that right?)

Am I nuts or what? But I simply cannot ignore the similiarities. I admit there are some things here and there that may not jive but, why not?

If he was the son, then what sacrifice was made ?

How can it be a true sacrifice if Jesus's "death" was only temporary?

If Jesus had died and was to never be seen again, then THAT would be a great sacrifice for those who loved him !

I think this describes millions and millions of Christians who form a silent majority in the Western World.

We hold many so called 'liberal' viewpoints with regards to the bible. But still believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and his full, physical, and corporeal resurrection.

We believe He performed all the miracles that the bible claims, and that He was born of a virgin. After all, through God all of these things are possible.

But we see Genesis as an allegory, and view the theory of evolution simply as a description of how God created the universe.

And we see many Christians getting hung up on things like sexual immorality, homosexuality, etc, and not paying enough attention to poverty, hunger, and the incredible greed of the richer nations.

Does this describe your Christian faith and viewpoints?

That's it...if i don't get this out of me i'm going to explode. And my apologies to all other users who this message does not apply to - just give me a pass on this one will you?

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY USELESS ANSWERS?

USELESS - as in "While your asking a legitimate question, let me just butt in and answer you with a sentance that has absolutely nothing to do with your question - go me!! Your stupid you ______(fill in the blank)"

[I exclude funny answers....but then again not many answers have enough Wit to be considered as such.]

You know a few weeks ago i was listening to the radio about poverty and debt relief - person calls in and starts talking about Jesus...and more Jesus...and more Jesus...

Couple days ago a US diplomat talking said "our thoughts and prayers go out to the Burmese monks" only to get a phone call from an Atheist about how its illogical to pray..

Both respondents of course, backed away from offering up comment/solution to the actual question

there are backword satanic messages in them .

But more than that Jesus loves you died for you on the cross shed his blood to wash away our sins , 1 John 1-7 The blood of Jesus Christ his son cleaseth us from all sin.
Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish, Luke 13;3
For all have sinned come short of the glory of God, Romans 3;23
For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shallbe Saved, Romans 10-13
Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, John 3-3
Cal on Jesus to save you forgive you of your sins today . Jesus loves you but satan hates u wants you to burn in Hell forever , Mark 9;48 Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched . Revelation 20-15 For whosever ws not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Call on Jesus today please to save you forgive you of your sins today ask Jesus in your heart he will save u and forgive u.
Even tho somebody listens to rock music that want send you to hell .
