Considering, Mormon 1:7 the whole face of the land had become covered by buildings, and the people were as numerous as it were the sand of the sea and Esther 15:2 had been slain two million (Jaredites). Shouldn't there be some concrete evidence?

Was there Islam before Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent as a prophet to mankind?

Brother Selim proposes this question because it is wonder what the following verse refers to: "(Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian, but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists) (Aal `Imran 3: 67)."

The tag line on hundreds of comments I have read either begin with or end with - think for yourself, don't be a mindless follower, or some other similar variation.

However, if you try to disagree with many of these people they will go on a profanity laced tirade at the mere suggestion that you think they could possibly be wrong.

Furthermore they seem to be operating under the false assumption that Christian beliefs are uniform throughout the entire Christian population, rather than wildly diverse and from every concievable political and theological perspective imaginable.

Isn't what they are really saying, "Be a free thinker and agree with me?"

I basically googled 'charismatic church' in my area and this was where we ended up. For those who don't know what that means, it's the name it and claim it, God wants you to be healthy and wealthy 'gospel' which, in reality, is no gospel at all.

What was weird was that their worship seemed, to me, to be so spirit filled, but then when the preaching started, was I in for a shocker.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? What say you about the prosperity 'gospel'?

(My counter argument to them would be: Well, it sure doesn't seem like *Jesus* was wealthy while He was on earth --- and isn't He who we are to imitate?)

Why do people think asians are smart? In school like, last week, in English we were playing a game to study for a cultural terms test that we were gonna take like in a couple of weeks and we were all in groups of 4 so I was like "cool, this could be fun" but I didn't really know all the answers to the questions the teacher was asking the class and then this girl in my group was all like "Aren't you suppose to be smart?" And I was sort of offended by that comment. The test was like weeks away so I didn't spend a whole lot of time studying and looking over the C-Terms. I had other homework to do and work. But seriously kids in my 8th grade think that just because we're asians we're smart. It's so annoying! Americans, Blacks, whoever can totally be smart and get good grades if they study or at least pay attention in class!! I mean I have a 4.0 GPA because I study. Plus they also think that asians are only good in academics but I can totally kick their butts in P.E. and sports!

I'm curious about what and how people are tithing. Do you give 10% (or some other percentage) or do you tend to give whatever's leftover in your wallet?

Philippians 2:12 says: " Work out way your salvation with fear and trembling."

A number of cults cite this verse to support a works-oriented view of salvation. The Jehovah Witnesses conclude from this verse that salvation is not assured for anyone ( Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1977,329 )

The Mormons say pepole must "work out" their salvation by self-effort in order to attain godhood ( McConkie, 1977,329 )

"Mary" is not an acceptable answer for this question, even if you are a Christo-Wiccan or Christo-Pagan or Gnostic. (Sorry, guys, I still love you, though!)

Also, preaching about Jesus or God isn't acceptable.

You swing a rock into the forest and you don't see anything there but it hits a frog which dies from the impact. Bad karma?
I've had several experiences in which guys thought I was "playing" them but it was due to misunderstanding. I have no bad intentions. Bad karma?
