Their outlook toward humanity is extremely negative. They say we are all born innately corrupt and tend toward evil. They say that there is more sin in the world now than ever before. They rejoice in the idea that the whole world will come to and end and cannot wait to bring it about, and seem bent on doing exactly that. Is it any wonder the rest of the world looks on us with fear and loathing considering those very people are running our government?

for instance when mayor ray nagin of new orleans urging residents to rebuild the " chocolate city ", or when judge borns told his friend crackers need to be relocated, these things go unpunished, why? if a white person were to say these things about black people it would be all over the news and his career would be over with in a heartbeat, this is especially true with some black comedians some of their jokes are derogatory against white people but nobody cares unless its a white comedian making derogatory statements against blacks

Statistically, 80% of Americans are christian, yet the national divorce rate is 50%. What does this say about the ever touted "sanctity of marriage" that is so sacred and cherished by the christian community?

I feel as though there is a constant distraction out there, even if you're a non believer, you have to admit, all the distractions we face in society that try to deter us from our own path in life, and make us focus on the distractions. For example, you set out on what you believe is God's plan, and for the non believers, let's say you set out on your own plan on life of some sorts, then things go wrong, you meet the wrong people, get sick, get into a car accident, get sucked into temptations which try to ruin your life and make your path you previously considered next to impossible to complete?

If that's the case, and I myself am a believer even in these modern and quite difficult/godless times, and firmly believe that people without god (the majority) go to and fro, without spiritual guidance or knowledge, so basically its just their own willpower, and if they mow someone down, that is if they're cut-throatish, they dont care. It affects us believers though.

So what do we do?

Emma Gough, 22 and of Jehovah faith died when she refused a blood transfusion. She had JUST given birth to twins and is also survived by her husband.

I just cant understand this. The blood transfusion could of saved her life. This is a life she is now going to miss with her new children and her husband. I know the Jehovahs argument is, well she wouldnt go to heaven if she broke this rule - but isnt it worth the risk? Surely you should live your life first and foremost and whatever happens after happens. There are NO promises to even say that there is heaven/paradise. It can't be proven.

I find one who puts there religion before their Childrens life, their loved ones life and more importantly, their own life - extremely selfish and down right stupid.

Discuss.

Share of what you have learned regarding this matter of your spirit. We know that when we have been saved we were regenerated in our spirit and that this spirit is One with the Lord. We also know that the Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. So in our spirit, there is the Holy Spirit, teaching our spirit, strenghtening our spirit, and as such teaching us how to live FROM our spirit day by day as we open to the Lord.
Please share on this verse and how it relates to you as a believer. Of your oneness with the Lord in spirit.

1 Cor 6:17
' But he who is joined to the Lord is One spirit"
There is a term, Mingled spirit" that a dear brother shared on and i found it very apt to describe the relationship between the Holy Spirit and our spirit. This joining is crucial. Our spirit is one place where the footprints of satan cannot be found. This part of our being as believers is sanctifed unto God for His purpose.

Please share more
in Christ

What was your inspiration(s)?

If so, what do you do?

Examples would be morning prayer, an offering to your deity/deities, meditation, chants, reading the Bible or some other religious text, etc...

I would like to hear from those of all different beliefs. This is your chance to answer a question about your own religious beliefs and practices for someone who is genuinely interested, as opposed to people who ask just so they can mock you or preach.

There are several that I refuse to give up, so they go into storage for a future home library. Most others get passed on and the one I pass it on to is free to give it away as well. If the book is of an educational type, it is generally one I'll keep and mark up to refer to later.

I'm a Christian and am also a recreational pot smoker. I've been told numerous times that marijuana smoking is "sinful". They don't say that to people who drink or smoke cigarettes but I'm supposedly sinful because I smoke pot.

Wheree do they get that from?

I hear some say that Catholics are wrong because of this or that and others say that Mormons are wrong for x, y and z, etc.

So can Christians give me a list, starting with your own flavor of Christianity at the top, and list the others (Baptist, Protestant, Lutheran, Catholic, etc) on down the line in order of "most" correct to "least" correct.

Use whatever criteria you want to order them because I don't know what makes one better than the other.

Thank you.

I was talking to some dudes from work, they offered me a cigarette, and I told them I don't smoke. Then they invited me out for a drink, and I told them I don't drink. Then they said I'm so boring.

I'm boring for not wanting to destroy my brain cells and lung and overall health?

Someone in your life that will point out to you when you've done something wrong and hold you accountable. I don't mean someone who nags at you or puts you down. I mean someone who reminds you that you are responsible for your words and your actions. In addition, you do the same for that person, or another person. This isn't someone you necessarily resent, but you know they are right when they raise an issue with you. In my case, it is hubby, and the accountability goes both ways.

Ok ~ I usually have my permanant Altar in my bedroom.
I shifted it to the lounge because hubby goes to sleep early and i like to do my rituals at night when the kids are in bed. I was missing out on a lot of ritual work because of this. Now something does not seem right~ its hard to explain, like a feeling of not holding the power within my circle or not making a connection? Also my Quarter candles keep going out, yet there is no breeze.
I do have an Altar outside but sometimes its not possible to work there. And i do like to keep a permanant altar set up.
There are no other places in the house i can use.
So the question is do i shift it back to my room? Or Is there another solution?
Any advice apreciated!
Blessed Be!
Ariel
