Okay...

Since gays are accepted which is great! I am happy that gays don't go to hell, no one deserves it.

BUT

Why were the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed due to sodomy, and homosexuality, and all the worldly things that happened there. Only one family was removed before the cities were burnt to a crisp! Please explain...

Don't judge me as bashing, I just strictly want to understand, I am studying religion, and want to understand as much as I can.

Faith being belief in the absence of proof and which in anything except religion is considered to be stupid.

Here are a few hints:

My father lived in this cult for 11 years until the age of 19. My parents sent me to a similar cult when I was 13, where I was brainwashed by women and men in long black robes.

The female leaders covered their heads, and the male leaders had young boys dressed in robes who served them in a daily ceremony.

They brainwashed us into believing that we were eating flesh and drinking blood even though we didn't see any blood.

I had to report any personal wrongdoings to a a male in a closed booth in the semi-dark if I wanted to be saved. Every day I had to kneel for hours, and speak in a language I didn't understand.

I was not allowed to leave the enclave. They made me dress like the other females, where we all slept in a large room of about 50.

I lived in the cult for 3 years, it took a year to deprogram me.

There are still many cults like this around the world.

Now do you know what it is?

The Holy Ghost was prophesied by Joel and Isaiah in the Old Test. In the New Test, the Holy Ghost was promised in Acts 2:38, after Jesus died on the cross and after you repented and were baptized. From proof throughout the Bible, the Holy Ghost that is promisd here, is speaking in other tounges. What are your thoughts?

How can god be speaking to so many different priests/imams/shaman/rabbi/.... ?
Are some of them not telling the truth ? Is god not really speaking to them and telling them about reality, heaven and hell !!! What a scary thought !!
Is god not speaking at all to them ?

Or is god a big joker ?

Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.
George Eliot

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.

In jealousy there is more self-love than love.
François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld

It is not love that is blind, but jealousy.
Lawrence Durrell

Indian Chief "Two Eagles" was asked by a white government
official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute
and the calmly replied, "When white man find land, Indians
running it. No taxes, No debt, Plenty buffalo, Plenty beaver,
Clean water, women did all work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."

Then the chief leaned back and smiled. "Only white man dumb enough think he improve system like that."

How do my fellow bible believing friends feel about death and how can I make it easier to accept? I love God, but I also love my life, my children, and family. I think it really sucks that we have to go threw the transformation of death. I wish we could communicate with those who have passed. I know the lord has a plan for our eternal salvation but Im scared to die and see others go. I just wish death was easier for us but even Jesus wept when nazareth died so obviously its hard for any sane God loving person to encounter death. I just need inspiration I guess.

When Jesus was here on earth... if he would have turned out to be gay...

Would God had sent him to hell, if he still performed miracles and did everything else exactly as it is worded??

I have been working as a Sales Assistant for a company for just over 2 years now. I wish to leave as soon as possible, not because I hate the job/people just because I have had a better offer from somewhere else.

I'm sure in my contract it stated a 1 month notice period is required. I usually work Saturdays, tho occasionally have swapped to Sundays.

I wondered if I hand my resignation letter in today, or post it 2moro, basically so the manager will recieve it by the end of the month then can I state my last day as the 30th Nov? Or do I have to work 4 Saturdays and therefore my last day would be the Sat 1st Dec? Does the 1 month mean 30/31 days or 4 working days.
