I want to know what are the basic principls and beliefs (such as holidays, the trinity, etc) of non-denominational churches.

Also which Calender(yearly) do they use and which day of the week is set for worship?

Any insights and links will greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance and God bless

Hi Folks,

Firstly, I am anti-racist, and having lived in quite a few corners of the world, and I am somewhat dismayed at some minority White Brit. attitudes

However it is a concern that I hear of today of the existance of a Black Police Association.

Fair play in the areas of promoting more non-white Officers, and their welfare in doing a diffcult job.

But, and perhaps a significant "but", If there was the formation of a "White Police Association", then we are going down the dodgy road of segregation, which defeats the whole notion of integration and ethnic tolerance amongst us.

More light-heartedly, I recently filled in a trivial form that asked me for origon.
I ticked the "ethnic minority" box, filled it in as being a Geordie, which I am, and it was duly returned telling me to tick the "White Brit" box.

All opinions thankfully received.

Bob

What are they for you? are they delusions, messages from 'god', noise, miscellaneous brain chatter, convenient symbolic language from the subconsciousness...

other than merely 'experiences', what are they as they apply to you personally?

that's why he/she is bringing the "good news" to you, and at the same time condemns you and the others to hell?

isn't that hypocrisy at its best being revealed to your face by these Bible-fundies?

I have not done thorough study by any means and perhaps this is a bit of a stretch. Is it possible that the Muslim faith will usher in the Hidden Imam who will bring forth the antichrist? It all seems to fit; their end times with our end times that is. Their end times states that the Hidden Imam (12th Imam) will usher in "Jesus" who will confront the Jews and the Christians and tell them they were wrong via the sword.

The Christian's antichrist will be ushered in by a false prophet and tell Christians they are wrong and kill them for not conforming by beheading (see rev 20:4) The muslims are currently beheading westerners in their faith.

What are your thoughts on this? Am I crazy? Should I go to sleep? Agree its possible?

I was in the female rest room last night at the Sheraton and someone asked me for my perfume. I politely refused since the perfume I have is a Chanel No 7 and presented to me by a close friend. I used to offer to spray it on or give it to them earlier but last night is the first time I refused.

What would you have done?

It says in Corinthians, that: "unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom?" Not bla bla, adulterers etc...

"...nor greedy persons"

Greedy persons???


I always wince when religionists who live in the so-called developed world (North America for instance) claim that 'greed' will stop *other* people going to 'heaven'.

Do they literally think that 'greed' is having 2 cars, 2 computers, countless upgraded cell phones, electric hair-straighteners, curlers, leaf-blowers, 4-foot wide refrigerators and a tumble drier in each household (in a hot climate also!), oh, with AC running 24/7?

Or do they think that 'greed' is having one bowl of rice more than you normally would, or earning 2 dollars a day instead of 1?

What do you think?

What is a simple solution for double mindedness?

Also, have you any Bible based insights on a carnal indivdual? If so, please feel free to pass along. (i am most curious and interested in this topic since i recently watched it on tv from CrefloDollarMinistries (carnal man stage) and didn't get to watch it all).
Thanks in advance and God bless

The GOD guided us in HOLY QURAN with many repeative messages but why some people don't pry the god and are going to bad way?

for example in west and east contries there are many atheist people that don't pray god .

In west countries people live with pet and animal like dog .
In holy quran we read that the pig and dog is dirty and drinking alcheholic material and adict material is so bad and mixing men and women in beaches and parties without sexual cover .

but why people are going to wrong way?

The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Revelation 20:13

so in a way yes people will go to hell but all will be let out.
but than it says they will be judged to what they have done..does that mean they could go back?

I also have heard that the Old testament hell is different than the New Testament hell?

I want to astral project, I have tried meditation to do it many times, and still have yet to succeed.

Does Anybody know a Link that they may send me which I can perhaps listen to some sort of hemi-sync sound that will induce an out of body experience?

If so, and if you dont wish to let it out to anyone else. Go to my profile and send it to me through a messege. But if there is no problem having the link shown , then feel free to post it in the answers area.

I dont have a job, so I dont have money to buy one of those cd's that is sold on websites.

so if it is Free only.

For reasons that are personal, I REALLY wish to experience astral projection.

Can anyone be of help? can anyone send me a link ?
