I personally find it quite tiresome and old when people ask really unintelligent questions in forums or in chat rooms that are solely intended to rile up the Christian community just to say "see, Christians aren't superhuman after all!" Well no crap! We are merely human as well and as such we are not to be expected to have the tolerance and forgiveness as that of our glorious God. Everyone has this stigma of Christians in that we are perfect and have perfect lives. We don't! We have trials and doubts and problems all our own just as the atheist down the street does. We proclaim our Christianity because God says that if we are ashamed of him so shall he be of us. Live and let live.

What is the meaning of everything they do during the baptism. i.e. the two different oils, the three dunkings, they spooning of the bread and wine into the child - etc. I am not Greek speaking, so I don't understand what the priest is talking about when I go to these baptisms. Jacob, can you explain the whole ceremony to me.

In the Old testament, it says that If anyone do homosexualy; than they must be stoned to death. It also said the same thing to disobeyed kids, and your family if they try to get you to believe in false idols. I am no fan of stoning people to death, but why people are not doing it anymore?

Why is it with so many people (Muslims, Jews, Jehova's Witnesess, 7th Day Adventists.....and those of us by personal choice) that don't eat pork, more retaurants don't offer pork substitutes? Why can't I get turkey bacon at a deli or turkey peperoni with delivery?

I was reading the bible when my son came over and spilt his KoolAid on the table. Something told me to look at the puddle. When I did I got chills!!! The spill looked exactly like either a profile of Jesus, or a mirror image of the Caspian Sea.

What do you think God is saying to me?

What if the definition of pretending is to deceive or give a false appearance? What if pretending can fool men, but it cannot fool God? What if it's true that we are known by our fruits? What if Jesus was right in saying that not everyone who calls Him their Lord will enter heaven (Mt. 7:21)? What if Satan wants me to believe I can sin and get away with it? What if God is not only a God of love and forgiveness, but also a God of justice and wrath?
What if it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Heb. 10:31)? What if my love for the things of this world reveals that I do not belong to Christ (1 Jn. 2:15)? What if I really should examine myself to see if I am truly in the faith? What if I have not honestly been broken over my sins against God and completely surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ? What if I have broken God's commandments thousands of times without even caring that it spits in the face of God? What if God holds me accountable for every lie, every lustful thought, and every time I felt hatred toward a person? What if God considers my lust to be adultery and my hatred as murder? What if I'm actually ignoring the God who gives me my every breath? What if I don’t see myself as a despicable, wicked person who deserves nothing but eternity in hell? What if God does not desire for me to go to hell, but He will not force me to stop living my self-centered life (Mark 8:34-38)? What if even though I have been so selfish in my self-centered life, Jesus still desires me as He lovingly took the wrath of God upon Himself on the cross for me? What if this conviction in my heart is begging me to genuinely repent and to surrender my life and desires to Jesus Christ alone?

Jesus is the only reason people can go to heaven. All other religions are about what you can do to earn your way into heaven. Can we really earn our way into heaven?

...my teacher would pass around "sticky hickeys" to his pupils. He dressed up as Mr. Hickey Man, did a stunt by flying on a helicopter, and dropped a dummy that resembled him off the roof.

Everybody laughed...

I wondered what happened to that teacher? Nowadays, students would sue him for being a pedophile.

Nowadays, nobody have no sense of humor. Even Saturday Night live isn't funny anymore. What happened to plain old unharmful fun?

I would really like to devote my life to christianity, but there is only one problem. I strongly believe that everyone has a right to choose their sexuality. I am not homosexual, but I think it is perfectly fine for anyone to be gay. How am I supposed to devote my life to god if I do not believe in certain things that were written in the bible, which was also only written by an author, not the lord. Any suggestions? Thankyou, and god bless.

I am a believer that there are certain truths out there, bottom lines beyond human perspective if you will. I dont claim to know what they are nor that we as a species will ever know it all nere the less, I think they are there.
So, christians taught me that god is perfect. All powerful, all knowing, etc. I was also tught that the bible being the word of god is perfect as well. Man was in essence the pen god used to write the bible. Now a perfect truth would be unchanging as real today as yesterday and tomorrow. If it was found to be untrue in any circumstance would that not negate the entire concept?
So, throughout the bible are things that have basically expired as humanity progressed. Slavery, stoning people, according to my last question being gay and so on and so forth.
So... what is it then I am not understanding?
Sorry kinda thinking out loud but would appreciate any input etc.

in the late 1970's some bible scholars said at a conference they believed the united states would be destroyed so that Isreal would have to turn back to God for protection

in prophesy, you have europe, asia and the middle east. Does anyone else share that view point. I realize this is more in keeping with those of the chilistic beliefs of the jews and not mainstream, but I ask anyway.
