Would you like to share one or two?

Here's one I like and is apropos to what I need to practice right about now.

In the Old Testament, Saturday is the 7th day, the day of Sabbath.
Why do Christians mark it as Sunday?
Pagans on this site said it is because Sunday was the Pagan day of rest.
I am an Evangelical Christian.

Please do the exercises in order - don't get ahead, or you will miss it.

Think of a number between 1 and 10. Got it?

Take that number and multiple it by 9: ? x 9= ??

Now take the sum of your answer and add it together:
?? = ? + ?= ? (say the answer to your multiplication problem
was 20, you would take the 2 and add it to the 0 and get 2, or
2 + 0= 2)

Now subtract that answer by 5: ? - 5= ?
Okay, think of the corresponding letter in the alphabet. For
example, if your answer to ? - 5 was 1, the letter would be A;
2 would be B; 3 would be C; 4 would be D; etc
Got it? Okay. Now think of a country that begins with that
letter. Please do not go any further until you have a country.
Okay. Now think of an animal that begins with the last letter
of that country.
Got it. Great! Now think color that begins with the last letter of that country.

Sorry there are no orange kangaroos in Denmark.

According to religion, one may not worship anyone aside "God."

But that implies that GOOD people will be subjected to eternal pain, torture, and punishment, simply because they don't pray to an imaginary man in the sky.

I simply see know reason that any good "god" would do that to his own creations.

I know this point's been made already. Don't bother telling me.

But, I think you all need a reminder.



No "god" would think in such a way, or do such a thing.

Why are Christianity and Judaism patriarchal religions that consider women to be second class citizens? In the OT, women were lucky to be considered third class, while in other cultures of the time they were given equal treatment as that of a man. Even God's chosen one Paul in the NT is well known for being mysogynic and yet he's considered a great teacher and is revered for his "expertise" on marriage which he himself states he would rather chew off his own limbs than to partake in. Doesn't that seem ironic?

im very upset. just had a big fight with the husband. when we met things were fine. until he got "saved".
now things are just getting worse n worse cause i dont believe exactly the same as him.
well the problem right now is with halloween. i see this as a harmless holiday for kids to get free candy. and yes i know the true history of it not the distorted one some religions try to give.
well he forbid me to take the kids out trick or treating saying that they were his kids and that what i was doing meant im going to hell and he wont have his kids follow me there!!
i was livid.
he basically told me i had to believe the same as him or he didnt know what he was gonna do. i told him if he cant respect my beliefs like i respect his that there was only one other option which was to separate. i have respected him. even going to church as a family on sundays with him but i guess this is not appreciated. im very hurt and angry about this. what should i do?

Christianity has become very convenient, convoluted, and marketable. I honestly believe that worshipping God is the most difficult and challenging act humanly possible. I also believe that most people don't have the discipline and self-sacrifice needed to continue in absolute devotiong.

My opinion is that most are either cowards and hide behind the esteem of being an aethist, or are too self-centered and resort to customizing their own religions. On the flip side, is it possible that a "Personal Relationship with Jesus" is another way to customize, and make convenient, the most difficult calling in life: Serving God?

Ok so I've got to get ready for this "rapture" thing.

Should I have a bag packed and kept under the stairs or should I carry it with me just in case?
Do I need to pack toiletries?
Will a tri-band cell-phone work?
What elecrical power adaptors will I need?
I take it that I will need a passport?
Travel sickness pills?
Can you take pets?

Does the US govt have an information pack on it? You can be darn sure that if it was a British invention we would have an information pack (in 5 languages!!!)

If I have covered all the bases for this will I be ready then?

Oh..... and what's the ETA?

Thanks

Has the MOST respect for women? Where you don't have to be ashamed of your gender and have to cover yourself head to toe and be guilty and ashamed because men can't control themselves, even if you didn't want it?

A religion where it teaches equality between two genders, everyone is just as good evil strong and weak as any one else. That has deep respect for women and no tolerance for slavery of women and children, manipulation and controlling and sexual abuse and victim blaming?

It's not Christianity. If it was not very many men of Christianity would victim blame or treat women like slaves and sex objects.
