Deuteronomy 13

1. If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2. And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3. Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
5. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

In the next 24 hours, show random love to somebody...anybody. Do not seek to give so you can get. Just love on someone. Then lets hear the reports tomorrow.

I keep have dreams that have anti-catholic people in them. One was this campus minister, that hates catholics to the point that catholics are not welcomed to his events, was chasing me in his car because I was too involved with the RCC and he said I was bad for it (in the dream the campus minister pulled up and saved me). Then I had a dream about CJ, yes CJ- he was comming out of a bar and started fighting with me .. then crusader came over and CJ fled.

What the heck is up with my brain?

I am an Indian and believe in Hinduism. I am studying Chrisitianity to expand my theological knowledge. Hindu scriptures drinking is referred to as one of the five heinous crimes, which include murder and adultery. Yet in Hinduism, smoking marijuana is not a sin. Matter of fact, Lord Shiva, used to go to smokes pounds and pounds of marijuana and go to the Himalayas and deeply meditate.

My question is, I heard that drinking Alcohol in any form is a sin. But I see that Jesus had cups of wine in The Last Supper and also turned water into wine. What's up with that?

This is what I'm confused about. People (mainly Christians I suppose), say that if you believe in Jesus Christ then you can be saved and go to heaven.

These are my assumptions:
-A person can renounce their current beliefs at any time, truly believe in Jesus Christ and be saved
-heaven is a good place to be; better then earth really. So all of your life before death is meaningless when you consider heaven. It is just a means to an end.
-After you die, you presumbably have some awareness or capacity for understanding (otherwise why would care about heaven at all if you wouldn't notice one way or the other)

So, if a person can renounce their current beliefs at any time, and if all of a person's conscious life is merely a test (if you will) to get into heaven and a person's consciousness continues after death, couldn't they die and then realize that they were wrong and God did exist and renounce their beliefs then?

I'm catholic and belive in god but don't really belive in jesus was the son of God. I know he was a real peron and a good guy but nothing more then a guy who preaches the word of god. I will always belive in the one and only creator, but since i can remember i always thought Jesus was just a good mortal guy.

My girl friend has been such a good friend to one of my "use-to-be" co-workers(girl, too). Anyway, my girl wants to make a scrapbook for her since the girl left the company I work for. Problem is, the girl who left the company is very busy with her new job and she doesn't really have time to get together right now. So, my girl wants to either send out the scrapbook to her, or ask the girl's room mate to hand it to her. Now, my girl doesn't know the girl's home address, so, if she decides, I need to ask HR for her mailing address. If she decides to ask her room mate to hand it to the girl, problem is, my girl and this girl doesn't get along well, so, not really sure if the scrapbook actually gets to her. What do you think we should do? Is asking HR her mailing address is appropriate or no? Need advise!!!

I just interviewed for a really good job today. I have been out of work for two months and I have been trying to get on with this company for awhile. There is strength in numbers. So can everyone say a little prayer for me? Thanks.

Could it be another white house cover up? What is the purpose of putting the whole world in danger? Is it just an act of God? Ah yes that makes it a religious question so dont start hollering I'm in the wrong section.

What if God didn't exist. Let's just say someone was able to prove God did not exist? what would happen to the world? People? I would ppreciate if answers such as " there is no way to prove....it's faith....etc" were kept out.
