what would you say to me to make me change my mind? Can you convince me that this life is worth living? Or you'll just tell me go for it (if you thought of it you're not worth living right)? No nonsense about God...or else :) And have in mind that I'm not a simple person.

I mean simple things like, you look like you've lost some weight or you look like you've put on a few pounds.... or your looking much healthier... etc.


Does the person's size make a difference on when its ok to comment? Like its ok if they are really skinny?

I was at a Pentecostal church tonight and one of the men spoke in tongues while we were praying/singing. No one had any idea what he was saying and there was no one to translate, so I don't understand the point. As far as I understand it, tongues is supposed to be revelation/prophesy from God in a Heavenly language and there is supposed to be an interpreter. So, it seems to me that no interpreter = no tongues, but this man did it nonetheless. It doesn't seem to make sense for God to give revelation if no one knows what is revealed. So what's the point?

Just warning you: all mean, rude, or derogatory answers will get thumbs down.

"The koran states that Jesus was a prophet.
Read the New Testament.
There is no proof in the koran that mohammad was a prophet.
I read the koran with an open mind to discover the truth.
Truth is ,the koran was written by mohamad to gain wealth, women, and political power.
I left islam because i realised it was a false religion ,but now i have been saved by the religion of love and
the love of our lord Jesus Christ.
You too can be saved by accepting the
lord in your heart.
God bless you."

Is there a specific person or entity, or is it "God in everything" type of belief?

Just wondering.

I thought "The Church" is the body of believers, but yet I see the RCC called 'the Church.'

Jesus speaking to a crowd of people along with his disciples:

Mat 16:28 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

Jesus speaking to his disciples just prior to sending them out to preach the good news:

Mat 10:23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Jesus instructing his disciples privately on the Mount of Olives on when the end will come and when he himself will return:

Mat 24:34 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Jesus said he would return to Earth soon and in fact, he stated that it would be within the lifetime of his contemporaries. He promised to return before all the people of his generation had died.

It doesn't really make sense to me.
I doubt lots of people were really "consumed with demons" left and right, like the bible speaks of, having jesus go from person to person releasing these demons.
And on that note, i think it totally undermines the explicit message given in the bible when someone tries to say that, for all we know, these "demons" might have been illness and infirmity and such. If it is the word of god, why does god make it sound unnecessarily mystical, with "demons" meaning something that had nothing to do with actual significant demonic activity?

I want to be baptized soon but I have things to work on..like commenting and getting more service done,etc.
There is a scripture that says anyone who is not born again(meaning baptized) will not enter the Kingdom. Baptism is DEFINATLY one of my goals in the future but...what if Armaggedon comes before I become baptized? Will I be destroyed?
I'm kinda scared about that.
Thank you.

I haven't seen a shadow of any. Now that they are asleep shouldn't we talk nasty to madden them when they arise. After all waking up is the only kind of "rising again" they'll experience.

I bought the recycling bin and the trash can and I am always the one taking out the trash other than my roommates. I had enough so I just grabbed my two bins and put them by my bedside. I thought they got the picture when they started putting trash in a plastic bag. but this was last sunday. The trash is still in the bag and it is mixed with recycles!!! It is still there and overflowing! it's not my trash and I don't understand why they aren't taking it out! are they waiting for me to do it??

they also never clean the shower or sinks. I find phlegm all over because they are smokers. It's disgusting.

I know last year I was having some issues and had a hard time focusing on cleaning things and my old roommates had to nag me.

but this is like worse then ME! I thought I was a slob! I guess I'm not that bad after all.

today I came back to find the window open. It's serious because I knew it was raining this weekend! what if I left my laptop on the desk?


help!

I'm a Catholic Christian but I hate the label of Catholic just like I hate the label of Protestant. I see us all as Christians. Am I on an island by myself or are there any others who feel like I do?

I want to hang a large American flag over my bed. However, I was wondering if, say, a veteran would consider this disrespectful. Is how I hang it relevant?
