This coworker and friend I have is an over all great mom,friend wife and coworker! she is very religious(christian) and compassionate, but yesterday she said something that bothered me a lot! we where talking about a gun shot victim! I said that over 140000 ppl in the USA get shot and/or die by guns,and she said that that is nothing but a drop in the bucket , as long as we have and prserve the right to carry guns bcause it is our only defence! now usualy I don't pay attention to this ,but this is a friend I thought I had ,a friend with compassion! I was wrong and it bothers me a great deal!

2 questions!

1) she told me that most ppl in their church carry guns! why are christians soooo afraid that they have to have guns and 14000 ppl are just a drop in the bucket!

2) this bothered me sooo much that I see her and I go the other way! I loved that girl! very good friends before this whole thing! what do I do?

If God isnt imprisioned by humans in some way and as some of you guys say " its us thats in prison "...then WHY THE HECK DOESNT GOD RESCUE US FROM AT LEAST RAPE AND MOLESTATION ? No. the truth is we have handcuffed Him in some way because if he wasnt He would come crashing thru and stop ALL RAPES EVERYWHERE. Not to mention murders, robberies, beatings, etc. It makes Him a heartless monster any other way....and he isnt.

Why do gays have a lisp? Does a lisp cause gayness? Does gayness cause a lisp? I can't find it in the bible.

Don't delete this question. This is relevant to R&S.

I looked in the bible, but I could not find the answer to this question. I know the answer to all of life's questions are in the bible, so I must not have looked hard enough.
I think it might be God punishing the gays for their immorality. They sound like a serpent when they talk, like the snake in the garden of Eden. Maybe that same snake has snuck up on them and manifest itself in the gay person's mouth.

on the 7th day is the sabbath day to keep it holy six days you labour, and do all thy work : but on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work , thou , nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. The last day of the week is not sunday. This is the one most people don keep and dont even see a problem with it. I am not sure why. I have not heard a good answer in all my years of sabbath keeping . I am a christian but keep sabbath because I am told to do so and Jesus never came to change not one word of them. Do people think he came so people would rest on sunday not saturday. I just think that is a little silly. The Lord loves us and knows us and wants us to take care of our lives and insists we rest. He is saying on the 7th day your going to rest. Why do christians have a problem whith this law it is so easy to keep , but the easiest one for the devil to get you to brake,

How can they when the Bible condemns all that is not "normal" or "traditional".
Those of you who say are tolerant and understanding of other lifestyles, what do you say about those who hold up signs in traffic saying
"God Hates Fags"
or tell their children to hold them up. To those that hurt others and go to church the next day not feeling guilt, but a sense of accomplishment.

I see religious groups debating with each other or with atheists everyday here. If you really do see yourself as tolerant and understanding even though your Bible sends so many people to hell, including all those who do not follow your religion, shouldnt there be better ways of teaching it?

I am friends with several people who are either under evacuation, have lost their homes, or are trapped by the fires and are breathing in all of the ash and smoke. I know that others are in the same place. I am praying for relief as are other...but I was hoping that all of you could pray too...

Thank you and God Bless.

Are there other ways to get to heaven, and to have everlasting life with God?

I know faith in Christ, and following Christ's teachings is oneway. Are there other ways?

I have a couple of hard questions about the Christian faith, and I'd like an intellectual answer.

1. How can one say that Christianity is the 'only' true way to salvation?

2. How can a God of love allow good--even great--people to be in Hell? Someone like Ghandi?

Thank you.

When you leave your body you leave it vulnerable to demon molestation, so when you leave your leaving yourself defenseless. Is this true?

Romans 7: I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the saw of sin. Mt. 5:19-20 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 14:15 if you love me keep my commandments .
