I was taught that a mediator is one that mediates, especially one that reconciles differences between disputants.

Well then what does Jesus mean when He says "There is One God and One Mediator between God and Men, the Man Christ Jesus?

If you currently possess a TV, computer, music stereo, games console or a bunch of them, I ask why? Doesn't Luke 12:33 say you should donate them to charity to the needy?

This isn't an "attack" on everyone here. This is to the likes of Aleey and other bible-quoters who seem happy enough to let the bible do the talking for them yet ironicly enough online with their own computers. If you guys are soooo good at reading the bible and pointing out fickle things like how the bible says homosexuality is wrong, or that you have faith in God, or you interpret the bible as being THE word, then do Luke 12:33. Sell your computers for a start, make an African kid happy.

I await the excuses.

Ok, I scanned through the old testament a few times and didn't like what I read. (It was from a Catholic bible.) But then I talked to people who claimed to be Jewish online and that they said was way different from what I read. So did the Catholic "good news" bible change the testament to match their views? Or did I miss a few passages? If they did change it then where can I find a proper copy of the writtens?

Question two-Whats a kitchen witch and what are some non "witch craft" forms of paganism? I don't not much about paganism but I would like to.

Assuming you would not catch on fire in His presence and God was standing right in front of you, what would you ask Him?
If you don't believe in God, just imagine He does exist and He reveals Himself to you right in front of your eyes like a normal, everyday person.
What questions would you ask Him? What would you say to Him?

On the House floor on Thursday, Mr. Stark attacked Mr. Bush in statements that at some points were more angry than coherent.
“I’m just amazed that the Republicans are worried that we can’t pay for insuring an additional 10 million children,” he said. “They sure don’t care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. Where are you going to get that money? You are going to tell us lies like you’re telling us today? Is that how you’re going to fund the war? You don’t have money to fund the war or children, but you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.”

As non-believers, are their voices less important in reference to where a believer's loyalties lay to their national interest? Is it ok to have a duty to country and not God to you as a Christian citizen?

Often when a question comes up about religion, so many are quick to attack and tell somebody they are going to hell. Even when it has nothing to do with the question, people incorporate it in somehow.

1. Who are we to judge who goes to hell or heaven? I am sorry, but I think only God knows that. Only He knows the depths of a person's heart and the true love they have for Him. Nobody else. So, it would be nice if people stopped telling others...you're going to hell. We may "think" we know, but in reality, we don't. Only God does.

2. It is not a loving way to approach a person, and with that, it is not a Christ like way to approach a person. Comments like that spread hate and create tension amongst people. I am less likely to listen to person's point of views about religion who has already, by their "own power," condemned me to hell, than a person who approaches an issue with love and a Christ-like concern.

Love bears fruit. Creating tension, hate and fear do not.

the faith of this cult who deceptively call themselves JEHOVA's witnesses collapses when you prove that JESUS CHRIST and JEHOVA are one .

john 10:30
"I and the FATHER are one"

and john 1:1

so why on earth do they deny the trinity?

Why when people make jokes about mexican and asians they never band the jokes but when it's about black and white, your jokes get band in 2 minutes. How stupid is that? I think we have some racial stuff going on with the people running the yahoo answers. Because i made a joke about black people and one about white and it got banned. But when i made one with asians and one with mexican, People was posting like crazy and it's still there.

... all others are condemned to go to hell?

(In this view, Jesus didn't heal all the sick who came to him because he had already chosen those who would be healed, and neither will he save everyone because he's already chosen those whom he will save.)

Many evangelicals may think this is odd dogma, but it is the faith espoused by Jean Calvin in the 15th century and is still held by those who adhere strictly to his theology.

They go to great lengths to prove them wrong. When most of what they write sounds childish to me. Why not dwelve deeply into the Catholic Church that has been around since the beginning of Christianity. Or the Babtist hell fire and brimstone teachings that are similar to the fear of the Islamic faith. It centers around the fear of death and eternal damnation. Better die killing someone or you will probably go to hell and suffer. To me those religions sound very scary.
Yet for some reason those don't seem to bother anyone.
But a religion that preaches peace and no war and a paradise earth where people can live without fear scares them to death.
Why is that?
