i have no doubts that our existance is made up of infinite miracles. we live, and so therefore we must eventually die. life is temporary, is death also temporary?

it doesnt matter what day adam and eve were created. I must say that it is frustrating when people cant answer a question so they beat around the bush, give a circular answer, or try to find a problem in the question so it looks like they know what thier talking about.

if adam and eve were created sometime around when the earth was, then that would be over 250 million years ago, and they would have to survive two known mass extinctions. If they were created less than 50 million years ago (after last mass extinction) then wouldnt we be further along than we are now. for instance cars, and computers, wouldnt we have somehow figured it out over the course of 50 million years, opposed to a couple thousand

why do we constantly battle with those who go against our beliefs. we are supposed to stand on the word of God. Do you feel when we put down others we are being true Christians? we are supposed to put on our armor for battle but so many just criticize non believers and ridicule them
as they do us. does this help NO!! we need to lead by example. I am sure this will make many upset with me. Yet day after day I see this in life. My daughters mother in law told my 9 year old grandson last week end that he was an idiot and full of the demon spirit. he feels so bad about himself now. yet she professes to be this ordained minister , bible knowledge, super Christian. I think not. all I can say is people like her will find out someday. sorry if I offend anyone. We are supposed to love one another and not judge. reach out to those who hate and persecute us with love always. God Bless

If prayer works - let's prove it! Let's get together all of the wonderful pro-war, pro-life Christians and have them pray for one of our vets. Specifically, I'd like to take a vet who lost a limb(s) in our unjust war. Let's have all one million pray for his limb to grow back. Salamanders are doing this on a daily basis (presumably without the benefit of prayer) so I'm sure it will work. Let's designate a specific vet and start the process!

I am trying to help a friend who keeps saying negative things about themself. I tell them, "you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength". Can you think of any other scriptures for someone with a very negative self image? They are Christian but as you know, we all mature at different paces. Thanks.

When I was in school I was in 9th grade the basic history and beliefs of all other world religions, except christianity. Dont you think, given how important religion plays a role in different societies, that religion needs to be taught in school?


Why would you exclude religion from the curriculum when religion shapes sooo many societies around the world, esp now that we have a global economy and society?

Isnt the teaching of religion in school vital to a persons education, esp in the world we live in today?

Mark 12:30-31

When questioned about the most important commandment, Jesus responded by saying that Love is the most important commandment. He did not say "ME!".

Jesus, the prophet, came to earth with a message. Did we miss the point? Yes, I know the passage: John 14:6. Where he says that no comes to the father but through him. Yet Jesus was a prophet. And through his death we are all aware of his message. Did not the Father not now this? Perhaps this was the only way to get this message of Love to us? And so through Jesus, we have the message of Love and thus the way to the Father, yet we do not need the name of Jesus on our lips.

Even if we were to make the argument that Jesus were the true Son of God and IS God. Few Christians would argue that God is Love. So if we have Love, then we have God and if we have God, then we have the Son. For the Father is in the Son and the Son is the Father. Why are you Christians so judgemental and exclusive? Love is all you need, no?

Today, while stuck in traffic (again) on the 60, I noticed that the little Honda in front of me was giving too much room in front of him. Cars kept getting in front of him, and so in front of me. I knew it was a "him" because I was focusing all my psychic powers and ray gun eyes into his rear view mirror, hoping upon hope that he knew that the gas pedal was on the right.
Then, I noticed it. Two fish emblems on the back of his car.
One had "Jesus" in the middle and one had "Christ" in the middle. Blood starting to boil. Smoke, I am sure was escaping with a hiss out of my ears. Yea, I wanted at that moment to just ram into him.
But,,, then I got it. The fish emblems were centered on the "H" for Honda. "Jesus" "H" "Christ".
I laughed for the next twenty minutes I was behind him, and wouldn't dare allow anyone between us so that I could keep laughing until traffic broke.
So, what do you think the chances are that this guy was an atheist?

The Anointing Spirit -1 John 2: 20,27
The Sealing Spirit -2 Cor 1:22
The Pledging Spirit -2 Cor 5:5
The Spirit as an inheritance -Eph 1:13-14

Please expound or share on each aspect of the Spirit.
How is the anointing different from the Pledge and the pledge from the sealing and the sealing from the inheritance and promise.

Thank You soooooooooooo much for taking the time for this study type question. Use whatever resources ... Looking forward to all the great answers to come.

Might seem like a strange question but there's a lot of "us vs. them" around here (I'm as much to blame as anyone) and I thought it might be nice to do something a little different. So let's all list one thing we like about a self-proclaimed atheist (or several of them) who we've met, either here or somewhere else.

I'll go first. I used to work with a couple of people who were atheists and they were always very nice to me, very welcoming, and would always be there to help whenever I or anyone else needed it. They would also generously share whatever they had - mostly food lol. Those were good times and I really miss those guys.
