Some religions put a lot of emphasis on baptism. Shouldn't Jesus have done so ?

If confession to priests is so important then why is it not commanded anywhere in the New Testament? Why didn't Paul or one of the apostles not say "confess your sins to the apostle"? Shouldn't something that is so important be in there? Why was it left out?

For Atheists only, please. Would you support the suppression or destruction of religion/Christianity in America by means of armed and/or lethal force? Serious answers only.

Hello. I am thirteen years old and I have strayed from the Lord quite a bit. I grew up Catholic, but I don't really agree with that religion anymore. I haven't been to church in years. I was thinking about getting saved, or reborn or whatever its called, as a non-denominational Christian. How do I go about this?

This relates to my previous question about trolls.

Under what circumstances would you consider it OK to report someone or give a thumbs down.

the hindu temple in albany, ny was formed a few years ago. normally, different figures write letters congratulating the temple, even the president bill clinton wrote a letter. the christian leader of america at the time wrote a letter saying: look im going to be frank: you are all going to rot and are doomed.

christianity is so intolerant in this sense: if you are not in the religion, you are going to there hell. gandhi is rotting in christian hell as we speak.

Seems like these days we are to worried about being politically correct. I think that we need to be mmore worried about the lost souls that we encounter everyday. If we are so concerned about the feelings we may hurt or the toes we may step on then are we really doing as Christ has commanded us to do? So many have given their lives so that others might be saved - and here we are wanting people to like us. Afraid if they don't.

I would like to know what everyone thinks we have to do to attain salvation with God.

Do followers of Christ really explain themselves to be saved already or in receipt of their heavenly salvation in the present when Christians profess Jesus Christ to be the final judge of all who are saved?
Isn't is a sin of presumption to pronounce ones own final salvation before the final judgement of Christ? I think we should leave Jesus in our salvation equation what say you?

My daughter does! She says, "Mom, you never let ME get away with that!" (Messing up the towels in the linen closet, or jumping in a drawer and rearranging it.)

Or I'll buy them toys and special treats, things I really and truly couldn't afford to do for my kids when they were young.

There is a part in The Odyssey where Penelope laments that she is the person who has suffered the most as a result of Helen's choice and the Trojan War (b/c she lost her husband, has unruly suitors taunting her and Telemachus, etc).

What is the quote specifically and/or in what book can it be found?

Thanks in advance!!

God COULD HAVE designed us with absolute, indisputable, unavoidable knowledge of his existence (don't argue that he already has since no such knowledge exists in my brain). Such knowledge wouldn't force us to love him or worship him and thus we wouldn't be "puppets" or "robots" or "slaves".

And God COULD HAVE decided to give each of us absolutely free will UNTIL we commit sins that may effect the salvation of others. For the "greater good" (i.e. for the sake of benefiting many other souls instead of our singular soul), God could limit our will in such a way that we were incapable (either temporarily or permanently, however God wanted to handle it) of commiting said sins, but otherwise free to be or do whatever else we liked.

I've asked about these two possibilities in other questions & haven't received what I consider satisfactory responses. Please don't explain to me what free will IS. That's not what I want to know. Please actually try to address the scenarios presented.
