Does anyone understand that the 10 commandments, actually 613 Mosaic commanments (LAW) was in the OLD testament, which was another time then now. Does anyone understand that breaking on of these laws = death?

Does anyone understand that the 4 Gospels, mathew, mark luke and John are called "The Gospel of the Kingdom" and this was Before Jesus went to teh Cross, so we were still under law at that time.

Does anyone understand after Jesus rose from the dead, we changed economies from the Old Testament (Law), into the New Testament (Grace)?

Does anyone understand that you can not be under both Law, and Grace? That the Law was designed to point you to Jesus Christ, so you can be saved? That is the whole purpose?

Does anyone understand that we are saved by our faith, which is a gift of God. That God is the Author of faith?

That we can not do works on our own to be saved? That the only reason a "Saved" Christian does works, is because of the Holy Spirit?

The law shows us what we are being saved from. The law is designed to point us to Jesus.

Jesus fullfilled ALL of the law, and by our faith in Him, we also fullfill the law.

When you believe in Jesus, you become "Saved" born again. At that point you are no longer under "Law" under faith. You are regenerated, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.

You follow the Holy Spirit when you are under grace. Would the Holy Spirit lead you to sin? No, that is the flesh that does that. Spirit vs. Flesh. God gives us the power through the Holy Spirit to overcome the Flesh, (desire to sin).

The Holy SPirit would never tell you to look at porno, or kill someone. This is falling away from God, and falling toward the flesh.

However, one you are saved, that is it. It is permanant. Can the Holy Spirit Regenerate you, and make a mistake? no....

This was roughly taken from Doug Stanhope Comedy special, go and discuss!

But this brings an interesting point: The idea of an afterlife and heaven seems awesome, so why stay on earth (alive). Now I don't mean go kill yourself because if you're Catholic you're going to hell. I say take the martyr route or be religously agressive in dangerous ventures in missonary work where there are a lot of incurable diseases!

But seriously I kid, but I like seeing cheery Christians who love the life that their God gave them. I just find it funny at the end of the day they become a fichus...a holy fichus!

Evangelical Protestants often say that the Catholic Church is teaching "lies." What specifically does the Church teach that you believe to be a lie, and what is the biblical evidence that the teaching is false? I invite Catholics to provide counterevidence from the Bible if the Catholic claims are not lies, or from the Catechism if the supposed "lies" are not Catholic ideas.

Seriously. When a species has been isolated for millions of years, like these discoveries, do they still evolve? Or, because of the isolation, they *don't* evolve, because there have been no new stimuli in their environment?

I'm not asking to prove any "religous" point, I seriously want to know. I know that there are lots of people here on R&S that know more about evolution than the folks over in the science section. :o)

I have been married for 2 years and stil do not understand what a husband role is. I hear views from religon and secular people. Sometimes, they combine both views which I believe you cannot do. My wife and I battle about roles and I believe a lot of problems is because she tries to know my role and does not know her own role. I want to know what does a husband do. Also, is being the so call "provider" only based on finance, or is it a cop-out for both man and woman? My wife makes more than me and she throws it in my face by saying things like, "If you want more time with me, you should make it were I don't have to work". She married me knowing she made more money than me. Please explain your answers too.

Do not have the same strict religious beliefs? I ask this because I have this sister who is older who never has really anything kind to say to us in the family. She is only seems to be happy around her strict religious friends. She can be so cold to us and have the harshest remarks made at us. The thing is it is my personality to be friendly to everyone regardless of their beliefs. My sister had tried to get all of us in the family to follow her line of thinking but we all have our own path in life to follow and we will not follow hers just because she wants us too. Since then she has been so mean and cold. Everyone in the family gets along great with one another and we do not judge each other on who we are because this is a free country and we are free to find our own path. My sister has always been kind of cruel but it has gotten worse the more religious she has gotten. Is it a control issue with her? No I am not cruel to her, it is not in my personality to be mean, to shy.

So Im in a dorm for the first time in my life and it seems like everytime that Im changing or something, my roommate stops what she is doing and starts up a conversation or just plain stares at me. It really creeps me out. When she is changing, I will roll over and look at the wall or whatever. Ive had to resort to changing in the bathroom, but its really starting to freak me out. Should I directly confront her about it?

First thing to understand is: Prayer is NOT worship.

One more time: PRAYER.. ..IS.. ..NOT ... WORSHIP

Prayer is a "request". When we pray to those who have gone to heaven ahead of us, we are making a "request" of them. And what is that request? It is that THEY pray for US. Protestants do it all the time, but they limit themselves to making this request only of people still on earth. In this, the protestant view of the Church is very narrow. You see, Romans 8: 38-39 says: "neither death nor life... ...neither the present nor the future.. ..neither height nor depth, nor anything else.. ..will be able to separate us". The Family of God transcends death. We ALL LIVE IN CHRIST.

Hebrews 12: 22-24 says that as we approach God, Jesus and the angels, we also approach "the spirits of righteous men made perfect". In other words, THE SAINTS

all over the world, and meant as a mark of respect to Christ.
Yet it is conspicuously absent from people descending from immigrants from "Northern Europe" I certainly never met one.
Is this an unwritten Taboo on the name, or are there other explanations. Just curious !!.

Religion was designed to keep uneducated wild men inline, controlling society, centralizing power and enforcing its laws as the only laws existed during the twilight of our civilization.

In modern times govern and law enforcement functions of Church are replaced.

Church as organization is rotten inside out, it is the wealthiest landlord in the world but the charity is questionable, and the moral image of the Church cannot inspire our communities nor provide any unbiased services neither. Why exactly do we need Church on the social, community level?

Why expect preferential treatment just because you have a child. It was your choice, not mine...so don't think I owe you something just because you were able to reproduce.
