Because we have a great past, does that mean we have a we must have an even greater future? If we were under parented or wrongly parented, can we still have faith?

When I look at any object made or created by man I will normally be able to find a brand prescribed to it.
So why not God's creations?

Helping the poor and the needy are suppose to be Christians primary duty . Than why are we doing such a bad job at it.
According to the world wide sensus there are over 2 billion Christians living in the world.

According to the netaid over 1 billion people live below poverty line.
Suppose if 1 christian put aside 1 dollar per day that will be 2 billion per day in excess money to help these people. Than why are we doing such a bad bad job in ERADICATING poverty?

Are we lazy? ignorant? don't care? what are the excuses now?

If this is true, then why do Catholics who teach RCIA feel that this is an event that one should dress up in costume for? I believe the proper teaching would be to explain how the date was changed for All Hallows Eve to this date, because of the original pagan holiday. Is it right to paly into the hands of the satanic witches, etc?

I lost my baby a month ago. I was 21 weeks along and my water broke inexplicably, I was induced labor and she died. I keep thinking I didn't deserve that and now I'm back at work with lots of pressure... and I still feel all right.

Is it? If it is, it would hypocritical of people who are against stereotypes but have this belief. I was reading a question about it and just thought to myself. Is this stereotypical? I'm a guy and i'm a bit more burly than most people around here but I wouldn't usually hit a girl, or a guy. I haven't hit anyone before/yet. If I were to hit anyone. I think it's sort of okay to hit someone who was just as bulky as me or someone who really truly deserves it. Not just because he/she was snotty or annoying. I just think it's wrong to hit a girl or a guy who is sort of thin and I could really hurt bad physically with a punch. If I were to ever do that though. The person would have to truly be evil as in malevolent and would do things intending to harm. What do you think?

material possessions? What does that mean? Whenever you see them they mention it and when they do they downplay whatever new item I buy. For instance if I buy a new car, he says, hows that old junky car of yours?- in front of people too. Why dosent this guy talk to me about other things, why is it always about downplaying my material possessions?

I am a gay guy, but I guess I don't come across that way and girls are constantly staring and flirting with me. Even at my new job over half of the office is women and I was told the other day that a large group of girls were blabbing on about me and how cute I am which makes me feel very uncomfortable... I know this seems like a bizzarre question, but I just turned 30 and it is constantly up in my face all of a sudden. I just don't really think it is an issue being gay and I don't want to talk about being gay or have to explain my relationship. How can I confront this issue easily with girls I meet or feel less intimidated about it at least??? Help? It also makes it worse when people point it out...

Identical twins are formed when a fertilised egg (which supposedly already has a soul) DIVIDES IN TWO, resulting in two eventual babies rather than one! Does each kid only get 1/2 of a soul...?

There are several bands that have their music sold at Christian bookstores and played by Christian radio stations. (Hawk Nelson, Switchfoot to name a few) Their lyrics however make no reference to God or Jesus or anything "Christian." So what makes these bands grouped into Christian music?

My Husband and I are Christians. We both love the Lord.
We have been married for 8 years and we have only been Christians for almost 3 years.
Throught the years my husband has been verbally abusive, he has said that I am stupid and some nasty things.
I have told him several times that everytime he does that I get closer to leaving him.
I have an anxiety disorder and it is under control. My son had surgery yesterday and I have been a bit on edge, so had he.
He came home and started in on me about the house not being clean and stuff. It just ended up in an argument. I also was on his computer (he used to have a porn issue) and I wanted to see if he was up to it again (he has been actung different..I told him that I looked..
Anyway, he started telling me that I am "unstable" "need to take more pills" acting crazy". I told him that I have had it with this abuse and to leave. He won't leave.. said he can't.
I would really like some Christian advice on this.

"Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe," (Heb. 12:28).

Our position with God is so secure in Christ, that it cannot be shaken. Our position was purchased for us by the son of God who died on the cross and shed his blood for us. In Him we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins. Therefore, in gratitude for what we have received in Christ, we are to serve the Lord with reverence and awe.

Our reverence is towards God. Reverence is proper honor, appreciation, and devotion to God. To be in awe means to be reverent, but also speaks of godly fear. Though we are safe in the arms of Christ, we should be awestruck at the majesty and perfection of God's holy character. Remember, God deals with sin appropriately and we receive the benefit of His work in the person of Christ.

Unto whom much is given, much is required. He who has called you is faithful and he will bring you through it!!

If God brings you to it; He will bring you throught it.

Any ideas on the future of religion? Will people eventually realize that religious thought of all kinds inspires horrors like 9/11, the crusades, witch hunts, mutilations, physical, psychological and sexual abuse, jihad, suicide bombings, genocide, discrimination etc. etc. etc... and mankind will reject religion en masse as a relic of the dark ages, or will religious zealots succeed in destroying civilization in a self-fulfilling armageddon prophecy?
