I was all excited to go to confession this afternoon, had done a thorough examination of conscience, spent time thinking about my sins, wrote them down. I started listing them and he asked if I could be more in depth so I did and I told him my boyfriend and I were waiting to have sex until we were married but that we participated in sexual foreplay. He asked if I was going to stop that and I said "probably not" and he goes "then you need to go home". I said "what?" he said "leave. and don't come back unless you're actually sorry." I told him I had more sins to confess and I really needed to confess them and he goes "goodbye". I'm so hurt :( Not sure what God is trying to teach me out of this experience

Here are the verses:

Acts 9:3-6
As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecut me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."

This was of course, the story of Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus. My question is this:

Saul was a well-learned student of Gamaliel......so he was well versed in the books of Moses & the other prophets. Isn't it amazing that Saul cried out the word "Lord" when he was blasted to the ground?

It's almost as if he knew beforehand who it was by calling Him "Lord"

Your thoughts.

Ok so I'm interested in Islam. My boyfriend is Muslim. So since we both agree on things, we decided to stop putting the label of 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend' on one another because it's haraam. But, he wants to introduce me to his parents so they can teach me more about the religion. The thing is, his siblings have brought other friends to the house in the past and told their parents that their friends {who were other girls} were interested in Islam so their parents wouldn't mind them being together, but really they weren't interested in Islam. His siblings basically ruined their parents trust when they found out that their children were only saying that so they could see their girlfriends, and ruined it for me, who is truly interested and want to learn more. I'm guessing his parents don't take me seriously because of the past......what should I do to show them I'm serious?

But they kept the message EXACTLY the same, but wrote it so it would appeal to more people, what would God think about that

Wait! Before you start calling me a racist, I am not a racist. I am engaged to a white man. I’m only using white ppl as the example, because they are already the majority, so we live white culture everyday. I know all about white people, because I’m forced to learn about them. They, on the other hand, *don’t* know much about my culture. Trust me, whenever I go to my fiancée’s parent’s house, I get bombarded with TONS of questions.

This is only a semi-serious question. If someone has a real answer, I would love to hear it also.

Why did humans lose their tails? Do you know how much faster and agile we could be if we still had tails? The fastest and most agile animals use their tails for counter balance, right? Can you imagine watching football with tailed humans?

So what was the advantage of losing the tail?



Yes, I know it is off topic and should go in the biology section...but they are no fun over there...way to serious.

Alot of women are abused because they are mistaken as a "piece of property." Even some churches do not allow women to step foot in their pulpit. Why?

do you believe that Yahweh (GOD) says rules like this
"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property"
its in the The Holy Bible - Exodus 21:20-21 (New International Version)

I'm not Jewish. I was born/raised a christian. However I'm finding myself to see more along the lines of a Messianic Jew (we now celebrate passover etc in my family).. and i know people are referred to as "jews and gentiles".. but what do i say to someone who asks, "what are you?" Can you be a messianic jew without being jewish? I'm a little confused about all of this. The only messianic jews I know, are actually Jewish.

...That idea is not altogether accurate, especially when one reads the first few lines of the Mayflower Compact, which says:
..."In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord, King James, by the Grace of God, of England, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, e&. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia...... "
...Not politically correct I know, but this is history.
...Any thoughts?
