Especially if they cite that Snopes article?

Please? There haven't been enough questions about monkeys or bananas lately and I've seen Christians asking questions against the Golden Compass at least three times since returning from my lunch break!

The lady I work with is kinda a Halloween freak. She wants me to come as a zombie. Dressing up in costume to come to work is really not my thing! Especially when I work as a partswoman. I sell industrial parts, and feel extremely silly wearing a costume in front of farmers! But, I don't want her to feel out of place. I just need some "understated" costume ideas!

Jesus tells Nicodemus that "no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again". Nicodemus was confused and asked "how can a man be born when he is old? Certainly, he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born". Jesus replied: "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised. You must be born again. The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the spirit."

Nicodemus was still in doubt and Jesus said "No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven - the Son of Man" (some manuscripts say "Man, who is in heaven")

In your honest opinion (joking aside please) I'm curious as to what everyones vision of hell looks like?
What the people look like? The place looks like? What is the vision you have always had of hell as a child up until now?

And why do people nowadays think it is 'okay' and 'natural' to be homosexual or bisexual? How can it be okay if you're a (strong) christian?

I cannot believe this question has been asked so many times--perhaps we should include it in the drinking game?

I was wondering if you could please help me with something. My baby gir has a little bit of a cold now, and she has been really sick in the past with stomach flu, strep, pink eye, and so forth all the things that kids "normally" get. This really bums me out, It is the worst things in the world having my baby sick but on top of that this is a spiritual thing for me as well. When I share my being upset about it with others they make the statements such as "it is normal for children to be sick, it is just part of growing up". I don't accept that, we are children of God and 2x daily I cover my daughter in the blood, I pray over her, pray in the spirit, place a hedge of protection around her, and complete spiritual shield of amour. As A RN I know that people get sick because of living in sin, unconfessed sin, consequesces, just wear and tear on our bodies other times to bring Glory to God. Can you please shed some light or scripture on this for me? thank you so much and God bless you !

Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith . . . not by works.

James 2:14-17 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? . . . Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.

I've noticed a couple of things. Lately there has been no Thanksgiving in the stores. What I mean by that is that it goes form Halloween stright to Christmas. And it seems all Thanksgiving is anymore is us getting together eating food, the men watch the food while the women clean up and then everyone leaves as soon as they can. Now I'm noticing that people aren't even calling Thanksgiving thanksgiving anymore there calling it turkey day. Does this prove my piont taht were a bunch of spoiled brats and aren't thankful for anything? Also do you need to know the orgigin if Thanksgiving to really apreated it. And is this hallady really all about food. Just like Christmas is all about getting presents? Jsut tell me what you think.

I ask this because most of the Christians here talk about their close personal relationship with God, but I want to know if you hear his voice talking to you. I don't mean feelings of joy in your heart, or signs you've interpreted as a reply, but actually prayed and gotten him to talk back to you, and then had a conversation.

Which, by the way, they are.

I just heard of this now. But why wasn't there outrage at CS Lewis for a "stealth campaign"?

I, by the way, have located a portal to Narnia. It's in my clothes dryer -- it's where all the missing socks go. They go to Narnia.

I see a lot of questions dissappear because they violate "Yahoo Community guidelines" and its a little frustrating when you feel like there might be something worth discussing and it gets deleted by people who have nothing better to do than complain about what OTHER PEOPLE are talking about...

So who do you think is responsible for the most perpetuation of intolerence by censoring this site?

People who enjoy relations with their own gender?

People of non-caucasian decent?

People who dislike other people discussing subjects that they have nothing to contribute to?

People who have no life?

People of questionable intellectual capacity who think censorship leads to enlightenment?

for someone who wants us to worship him god sure does like screwing with you if you do. can anyone explain what the big offense was with the whole tower of babel? people were living and working together peacefully, trying to build a tower which would reach heaven, no doubt because they worshipped god and wanted to be closer to him. so what does god do? he separates them, and gives them all different languages so that nobody can understand each other. was there some moral to this story?

I have seen some christians say on here that science backs up the theory of creationism because they say they bing bang couldn't have happen't without a force behind it, They say that god was this force. If nothing can be made from nothing, and nothing can happen on it's own, Who made god and what did they make him out of.

What about all the genuine Christians that live in each community? What about all the charity being given in every immaginable form around the globe every day in the name of Christ?

2007-10-30 06:04:46 · 29 answers · asked by realchurchhistorian 4 in Religion & Spirituality

Many, I think I can safely say most, Christians believe that live begins at conception, there is a soul created at that time.

So, please put the emphasis on HUMAN soul. Jesus was a living person...the Spirit of God dwelled in Him...but was a HUMAN soul created?

Thanks for your polite answers. I do have my own ideas but I like to read what others say.

Small or big deeds? Someone holding a door or picking up litter? Making someone smile? I helped with a river clean-up in the summer, I felt really good afterwards.
