As christians, we are required our best to break any unGodly habits in our lives. What habits have you broken, and how did you overcome them?

This is more of an encouragement question for myself. I really enjoy hearing other christians stories of what God has done in their life.

In His Awesome Grip,
Amber

I am a Tiger Cub Den Leader and when I went for training I remembered the shoulder straps. I thought of having the scouts whose house we are having our den meeting at wear it, but I want to make sure I am not going against the code.

Since everyone always says Christmas is commercial and greedy, what are you planning to do about it to change it for yourself and your familiy? Obviously you can't change it for the world, but what if anything do you plan to do differently to make it less commercial for you?

..die today, where will you be ?

WHAT SAY YOU ALL? - Christian, Do You Know Frightening People with "Hell Fire" and "If you die today .....
..without Jesus, where will you go ? " is not scriptural and never can you find it in the Word of God.

Jesus came to promise us Life and Life more abundantly, Eternal life, immortality and life forevermore. Look through the scriptures, Jesus never says or tell people "if you die - you will go to heaven if you believed" BUT INSTEAD HE SAID, "IF YOU BELIEVES IN ME YOU SHALL NEVER DIE" Jesus came to give us life without dying and it's found all over in His teaching but your religious mind have blinded you to see the Truth.

All men will lives eternally after death is not a question. But where will they spend eternity is! However,Jesus came to tell us that we can be once again be restored to a Life without death, just like Adam before the Fall. Even the Apostle Paul knew that and he wrote, in Roman 8:1-3.Read it for yourselves!
Believers die no more!

did he even bother to question god after god asked him to kill his son isaac? i mean if god came up to any one of you and asked you to prove your love to him by killing one of your children, wouldn't you at least question him by saying something like, "but i thought you said murder was wrong, or thou shalt not kill. why do you want me to kill my children of all people?" or would you willingly attempt to kill your child with the hope that god will save your child just in the nick of time? i can't really say i'd chalk the story of isaac in the category of useful lessons learned in the bible. or perhaps the real lesson is you should always be willing to question god's authority. what do you think?

The uproar that is made when the same attacks that we face every day are used in a satirical way against the opposite side of the coin.

For everyone who answered something about procreation; I think we as a race have advanced to the point where sexual intercourse is not needed for fertilization of an egg so to say that all life would end is just a fallacy you use to cloak the fact that there is no good answer for hatred in any of it's forms.

I have a possible explanation for Tyr's parental inconsistency.

He cant be the son of Both Odin and that one giant (im to lazy to look the name up) Well.... then again Heimdall was the son of 9 women....
Fostering a child was a common practice in northern europe. As such A giant with a human (Aesir) child would be likely to foster it to those who could raise it better after a certain age.

So I have a theory. Tyr was fostered to Odin early. (I say early to perserve Tiwhaz. and to put Tyr where he should be as far as his standing from his Myths.

Thus he retains his status as an Eldar God (Older then Thor and younger then Odin)

A full explanation for his parentage, and from here we can fill in some of the fragments left/ make new ones.
He is severely lacking in Myths for being the God of Justice and the God of warfare. Odin is specificly the God of Battles. Tyr is the God of campaigns and desperate stands. He needs more myths.

Why did God have to make everything that is bad for us so pleasurable? I mean what was the point? to torture people for what reason? Why cant cheesecake. ice cream, booze and sex be great for your health and egg white omelets and lettuce bad for you? What kind of person would do this to people?
I am not religious but I believe in God and I know I should not be questioning him/ her but WTF? It just pisses me off...

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is
the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it.

2 Peter 2:1-2-3 But there were false prophets also
among the people, even as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord( head of false churches) that brought them, and bring upon themsellves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of
whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words
make merchandise of you:

kinda long story ,, i was friends with this guy for about 10 yrs (platonic),,i thought we were very close, he even told me im one of his best friends. i confided in him alot. then all of a sudden i stop hearing from him about 3 yrs ago, he had a girlfriend who was never friendly to me, always mad. All of a sudden he stopped calling me, in Instant messenger he would never say hi for months, if i said hi he would make a wise crack or not reply. Then his friend tells me he got married to that girl. big wedding, invited everyone, he didnt even tell me about it. figured i was written off. Some months later i get bombarded with instant messages from him wanting to hang out, no mention of marriage, he messaged me everyday now. I was wary, after some time i said hows married life? he says "oh u found out", he says hes getting a divorce now and hes glad its over and he;ll explain when he sees me what happened. He asked to see me that night, i said im busy. He said next week? i said maybe

I went to a public school, and as part of the required summer reading before my AP English class, we had to read four books of the Bible

The reasoning behind this was that in the history of English literature, authors most commonly allude to three sources: Greek mythology, Shakespeare, and the Bible. We were required to read the four books and analyze them the same we did the mythological books and Shakespeare plays that we read. It was analyzed and applied as a piece of literature, not a holy book.

Do you think that is okay, since it's done objectively and related to the class? (Just reading a book by a Romantic or Victorian author you see how much these three things are referenced.) Or is it wrong to require the reading of the Bible and no other holy books from other religions because of the religious implications, even if they weren't taught?

The reason they are so mad cause they feel no one loves them. HEY>>>>>>ATHIEST we love you guy's ''man''' we just want you to be there with us on the other side. We know you don't get it the logic project. Just come to church and feel the joy don't feel the hate.

I know it's not cool knowing your gonna die forever but try to prove Gods existance than disprove.

Go ahead and hate us...I understand but i'll still care for all you Atheist cause I know you need a huge hug like my little daughter when she dosen't understand she gets mad and sometimes I just need to love her cause I care for her.


Go ahead and let your anger out.
