Have you ever had an angel experience or know someone that has?

I really believe they are with you and in some case they will be sent to help you through life.

I believe in God and all the amazing things he does.

(this Q inspired by some kid's homework question in another category)

without gravity:
- the universe would not exist and would never have been formed as nothing would come together
- no galaxies, planets, moons, stars...or life
- if gravity were turned off today, all life would cease and the universe would turn into an enourmous debris field as all matter seperated from what it is currently attached to.

Gravity is the all powerful force that brought about life and has the power to end it if it so chooses to call in sick.

I myself am an Atheist. And i believe there is only two types, do u agree and which one are u ?

1. The Atheists that know (believe) there isn't a god so they don't care about nothing and just go around f*cking people's lifes up and f*cking with everyone's emotions because they know (believe) they is no consequenses to be had.

2. The Atheist who knows(believes) there isn't a god, but yet is good to everyone and respects everyone's views, even though they know(believe) there will be no reward(i.e. heaven, or eternal life.)

"Though he was a rebel and an associate of Lucifer in the preexistence, and though he was a liar from the beginning whose name was Perdition, Cain managed to attain the privilege of mortal birth....As a result of his rebellion, Cain was cursed with a dark skin; he became the father of the negroes, and those spirits who are not worthy to receive the priesthood are born through his lineage. He became the first mortal to be cursed as a son of perdition." Mormon Doctrine, page 109.

that the theists might not be right, after all?
I'm not referring to any one religion, necessarily...but, seriously...are you all that positive that there is not, somewhere, a Creator...a Mind, if you will...that does exist, and that is vitally concerned about each of us?

Do you ever wonder if there isn't something you might be missing out on??

Please be polite. There is nothing intelligent about making fun of what you do not understand, or do not share. All you show with condescending attitudes is that sour grapes only produce whine...
As always, bashers and trolls will not be considered for the Best Answer...

a particular person has just come to me with this evidence of dinosaurs in the bible...

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death Psalm 44:19 11:55 AM

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters

The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. 11:55 AM

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, [shall be] grass with reeds and rushes. 11:56 AM

And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.


i intend on posting this in the science section as well...just to get an "educated" opinion...

Christians, lets be honest. The only reason you believe God is lovable is because you believe He is saving you from eternal torment and punishment. This world is filled with an unimaginable amount of pain and the next world will be the same for most as well. Do we deserve this? Should God expect perfection from beings He created deeply flawed? Why should we love God for creating this predicament?

In my opinion, He never forced Himself. He came, He spoke and He allowed people to think by themselves. He still does. It is like He throws the seeds, but it is up to us to water them and make them grow. He allows us to use our free will to make it happen at our own pace, which means if we don't get it straight at the first chance, no problem. We will have many chances to do it... in several existences.

Jesus is the only mediator between God and man. So why not just pray directly to him? Are they placing a mediator between them and Jesus?

"Because it is Biblical to ask the living to pray for you", you may say? Well that does not answer the question. Again: why not just pray directly to Jesus?
Oh, that's okay. Actually, it IS Biblical. And that's what Catholics do when we pray to the saints: We ask THEM to pray for us. And PLEASE do not say they are "dead". Anyone in heaven is ALIVE - more alive than you or I, I might add.

I invite people who REALLY want to get to the bottom of this to read these tracts:

http://www.catholic.com/library/Praying_to_the_Saints.asp
http://www.catholic.com/library/Intercession_of_the_Saints.asp

Does anybody understand what I'm saying? Comments?
God bless everyone. ; )
