is it hypocritical to drive a nice car if you claim to be christian? after all, the bible says something about it being harder for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.

are there ANY christians out there who actually follow jesus and lead a life of poverty?

My father recently passed away after a short illness. In lieu of flowers we requested donations be made to a burn unit of a hospital (my father was a retired fire fighter). The contact person I have at the burn unit told me when they receive a donation in memory of my dad, they send out a thank you card and will email me a list of people who made a donation. My question is, do I still send out a thank you card also? Thank you.

Well done to the judge who jailed a serial thief and said '' One day we will wake up to this Namby-Pamby politically correct approach and look at the barmy laws and regulations and I for one would welcome. Since 1949, the Manchester Taxi Drivers took groups of disadvantaged children for a trip to Blackpool. That ended in 2004 when health and safety officers ruled that each child would have to be accompanied by an adult, and each adult would have to be vetted by the police. I was one of those kids and it was a day I used to look forward to every year. The UK is slowly losing its grip with the PC brigade saying we cant do this and cant do that. Let us get on with our lives and stop interfering.

Since when can't a six yr old draw a pretty flower on her stoop in NYC. I grew up in NYC and did it on the regular as a child. Then people complain that children are growing up too fast. What the hell are these people doing?

I'm Brazilian, and I'm always confused by this, because I see most people I know capitalizing words that we don't, in Portuguese.

Thank you for your answers! :)

Have a wonderful day! :)

Surely jealousy is a sin?
"For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." (Exodus 34:14)
And surely child murder is a sin?
"O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." (Psalm 137:8-9)

They say there mixed with other whites. Like some dude said he's mixed with Italian, British and German. AREN'T THEY ALL WHITE?? LOL!!! What is the difference. To me mixed is when you are mixed with people of a different ethnicity, not mixed with people from different countries that happen to be the same race.

Time after time, vicious criminals are paroled only to pick up right where they left off. I can't think of one good reason to preserve the life of a paedophile or a murderer or a rapist or any violent offender for that matter. Why show mercy to those who have no intention of ever showing mercy to others?

One line in the song is, "Everything is Satisfactual."

That's me, and that's the kind of day yesterday was. Bob's home and I got some "best answers" and a violation notice.

All's right with the world. I was told not to explain myself, but I did anyway, and, lo and behold, Isotope was right. Again. Still. As usual.

But who cares? I've got my hubby back, and "It's the truth, it's actual, everything is satisfactual."

JWs ask a question are they the true religion and then get 24 people from their assembly to vote and say they are. then cut the question off before the 3 days are up so that no negative votes can be counted or entered. marks of a cult.
I challenge them to tell me what Revelation 2:8 means and what is Jesus meaning when He refers to Himself as Alpha and Omega, the first and the Last? WAS DEAD AND IS ALIVE> Also Rev 21:6; Rev 22:13,14 and Rev 22:16. I look forward to your twisting and spiritual gymnastics on this one.

Hey,
Is there any one else who feels the same. Christians are so divided about soo many issues. One says this the other says that, the only thing we have in common and that is aggreed apon is that Jesus is the only way to heaven, I am tired of God told this one this and that one that. And I belive that God said this, and others go God said that. If this make sense to anyone let me know. AHHH

Everytime i try i new thing, i end up being depressed.
Latest is was the Urantia Book.
It looked nice at first, but after i found out, that only less than 1% survives eternally (i want it to be 100%), i became so very depressed, because this book seems so convincing.
I'am a very unsuccesful retard, selfish dick, hateful etc. I know i can't change, and thats why i know, that if the Urantia Book is it, then i'm going to die, but i still feel like the book is telling the truth.
I can't even flee from this problem by commiting suicide, so verything is feeling so hopeless!
I don't know what to believe, but i'm very very afraid dying.

Please help!
