Just curious.

How are Wiccans different from Christians? The first impression is that Wiccans believe in spells and magicks.

The fine-tuned universe is the idea that conditions that allow life in the universe can only occur with the tightly restricted values of the universal physical constants....

Revelation 12

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

I like "The Four Immeasurables" :
May all living beings have happiness and the causes of happiness;
May all living beings be free from misery and the causes of misery;
May all living beings never be separated from happiness, devoid of misery;
May all living beings abide in equanimity free from prejudicial attachments and aversions.
-The Buddha

Is it wrong to pray or cast a spell that interferes with someone else's free will?

Praying "Dear God, please make Jimmy/Jenny love me" is just as bad as trying to cast a spell that will make Jimmy/Jenny love you, isn't it?

What are your thoughts on this matter?

"For to what angel did God ever say, ‘Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee'? Or again, ‘I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son'? And again, when he brings the first-born into the world, he says, ‘Let all God's angels worship him.'"
If God calls Jesus "Son" but doesn't call any of the angels "Son" and at the same time directs the angels to worship Jesus when He is walking upon this earth, it is quite obvious that Jesus was not St. Michael the Archangel but is in fact God incarnate.

Please explain.

I know people who pray that this or that person will love them or who cast spells like that but I wonder if they ever stop to think about how the other person has free will and we should respect that. What do you think?

Has it ever come true in your life? Please tell us about it.
if not just say Amen :)

Psalm 68
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1 Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
2 As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.

4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,[a]
By His name YAH,
And rejoice before Him.

okay, so i got a project due and i have to do a survey based on Jason Everett's book "If you really loved me"

How would you respond to "everyone is doing it"-aka having sex in a christian perspective, referring to the bible and christian morality

OR


How would you respond to "everyone is doing it" in your own opinion, regardless the religious part.





thanks ;]

In Matthew 22, the Pharisees ask Jesus what happens in the resurrection if woman has been widowed and remarried several times.
The New World Translation reads in Matthew 22:29-30 that " In reply Jesus said to them: “YOU are mistaken, because YOU know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God; for in the resurrection neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven."
It seems here, then, that these connections are removed in the resurrection.

However, the Watchtower tells us that at the resurrection, "Great will be the joy earth wide when group after group of dead persons come back to life to join their loved ones!" (http://watchtower.org/e/dg/index.htm?art...
By anyone's definition, "loved ones" include spouses.

So, how do we reconcile the idea that we will retain the connections we had during lives, with the idea that there is no such thing as marriage in the resurrection?

does anyone else believe that religions are to judgemental. most religions say that god judges ppl but then they dont allow certain ppl into their churches or look down on ppl. i dont think churches should be saying that how a person lives their life is gonna make them go to hell; isnt god the one that has to forgive them and decide what happens to them. if they truly believed what they preached they would not act liek that.do u agree or no

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

What is the meaning of this verse in your own words? You may have grown up with circumstances you would wrather forget. Yet, how has God used these tragedies of your past to deepen your dependency on him?

Please if you are still an Atheist DO NOT answer. I do not need a flood of emails from angry Atheists about my question.
This is for any Christians who used to be an Atheist or Hardcore Atheist that just could not ignore God.
Please tell the process you went through, research, emotanially, ect and tell me how your life is now compaired to how it was before you accepted Jesus in your life?
