I was raised a Christian from about 5-6 years of age. I atteneded church and practiced the faith for years. But with the preregrinations of the so called "Christian Right" in the USA in the last few decades I have come to disbelieve all promises of that faith. I am still happy and do not plan to take up a life of so called "sin." The way of life taught by Christ is still good to me but I can not any longer beleive his promises. Can I still be friends with those who still believe?.

Ismael's Mother was an Egyptian I was told or read, so the Egyptians are not nesasarilly the desendants of Ismael.
What great nation? Does this nation have borders or had borders or are they a group of people? Are they his desendants by ideology , religion, choice, or by blood line?
Prove your point by using the Bible if you can.

Is he going to follow christianity and forgive them? If that is the case, would he forgive a born again jew who helped kill him? As long as the guy asks for forgiveness, it's all ok, right?

Evolutionists are so quick to defend their theory as "science" and not a religion or belief. So why are there so many evolution questions in the religion section? Why not post them all in the science section? Just curious. :)

If we were created in His image, then he too must have emotions with Anger being one of them, He did after all flood the world once. So what is to say that God wouldn't shut us out of his Kingdom? If He is the ultmate Father, what is to say he wouldn't turn his back on us if he wasn't happy with us? I honestly think a lot of people are going to be unhappily surprised when they pass away.

No, I'm not saying that I do believe vampies are real, but I would like to know other people's opinions, facts, and a (maybe) true story about vampires or something. For example, if you have seen the movie "Noseferatu", it is said that the person who played the main character, Noseferatu, was a real vampire because the movie would only be shot at night cause if it wasn't shot at night, he wouldn't be able to act (and they really wanted him to act in it), such things as that is what makes me think if vampires are real or not, but either way, I would like to hear your opinions if you believe vampires (in general) are real! Thanx!

I know there exists somewhat conflicting views on salvation. Is it by faith or by works? Lets try to ignore that for a moment. In Ephesians 2:8-9 it says we are saved by faith. Then in James 2:17 we are told faith without works is dead. Many people find these contradictory and I must admit to having thought a lot about this lately. The conclusion I have come to is this. Paul is teaching how one is saved, by faith. James is teaching how one who is saved should act, we should have works. It is faith that saves us and works that show that faith. What say you?

Seems to me that the False Prophets will try to induce fear in their deciples...
Being an Ex Jehovah's Witness, the fear was the Basis of my dependence on the religion..Now as a Christian I worship out of Love.

Seriously, belonging to a cult-like chruch family. Being made to be involved after realizing it's nonsense based on ancient, poorly translated scripts and codes of behavior. Being with ppl who feel if there is no other answer, its has to be "god" they cant concieve of anything else because they know of nothing else.
Any help ppl?
thanks!

Theories or probabilities why do you have such a hard time, as a whole on this site, with people that in effect are doing the same thing. Regardless of their fervent plea of being absolutely right, like many other schools of thought i.e. Newton, why do you feel it necessary to speak down to those that believes in a creator? And here is and idea for you just considers the omnipresent nature of God and Dark energy? You might be able to draw more than a few comparisons if you used an open scientific mind

I've read about him and his activities in the new York Times. I've seen him of tv. Some guy just posted a question asking for jewish views on him - he is an orthodox rabbi - and the jews who responded either really hadn't heard of him (amazing) or pretended not have,and one called the questioner a hater ("Why do you hate us so much?") - just for for asking what jews think of him! Does ANYBODY acknowledge this guy's existence here,or this another no-no topic,ie. embarrassment to jews?
