Revelation 14
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

In other words, where, throughout
Protestantism's relatively brief life-span, can we find examples (just one will do) of actually working-functioning in such a way that it brings about doctrinal certitude and unity of doctrine among Christians?

Being forgetful is certainly not a sign of senility.
I have a cell phone full of reminders.
It just seemed like a good question to ask...

You give your gods credit for all the "blessings" in your life, but none of the blame for misfortune and tragedy.

How do you rationalize this way of thinking?

One time I was very ill in bed, couldn't go anywhere and my brother was at home. I asked him to get me some food from the store. He told me: "Get up, you are o.k. you have a car, and money. Do it yourself."

I have helped him any time, by getting his meds for diabetes driving, and picking up his medication and paying it for myself, and then I have to beg him for $$ he owed me.

I was taught to help family, but my brother is he out of the Q when I need help?

Given the circumstance that everyone in america uses the N word so freely, do you think that just cause he is a public figure his show should be taken off. I honestly dont think they should and i honestly dont think the N word should be a bad word either, i know i dont get offended when they call me a Wet Back or Beaner etc. i think ppl need to lighten up and stop crying about stupid stuff like that and worry about real news like my brother at war right now. Tell me what you think.... "Bring Dog Back"

Do you sit there and confess your sins to "get right with God" feeling guilty and "heavy" and shameful like you need to wipe your slate clean before eating the elements?

Or

Do you thank the Lord and celebrate the fact that His shed blood took away ALL your sins and you are now in Him and He is in you?

I used to do the first but now I do the second after a revelation that communion is a celebration of the covenant He made with me! It's supposed to be both a Holy, reverant time but also a joyous time because He loved me so much He died for ME!! And my faith is in His shed blood and broken body not in my confessions. My confessions of sin are the results of what He did for me, not the method of my salvation.
I have found that communion is also a time of connecting to Him in a physical way through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Anyway, what do you think? What's your experience?

I have a sister who will do anything for you even at the last minute whether to a grocery store, pharmacy or take you to emergency and she'll wait there hours on end if necessary. She'll never say a word, just help you out.

Now, I have a brother who would NEVER help you in any way whether it be to do an errand, or even a few bucks. He'll laugh at your face, and then hang up. He's been like this all his life. When he wants something from you, he'll get mad, cuss, and demean you to the end of time.

I Ask why can there be differences in people of the same family? Will these bad deeds or lack of help haunt them someday?

I just realized something. We all have a belief system about God here. May it be that he does or doesn't exist. I also noticed you don't here many fights about how many Gods take care of everything. Kewl. I also notice that a lot of people ask the same thing over and over in different context and they get the same answers in different ways. That is so kewl. IS there anything I missed that you notice about our little Religion and spirituality community that I didn't recognise.

Since they don't believe in a afterlife, wouldn't they just walk the earth as a ghost still thinking they are alive?

My boyfriend and i are trying to not have sex until we are married. We have had sex, but now see things in a different perspective. Any comments on this would be good. Thanks

i was at Christian camp 2 years ago, and we were having a question/answer time and some guy asked if masturbation was a sin. he said he had asked the question before but had never gotten a direct answer. after some of the teens took the mike and put their 2 sense in on the matter, and some of the leaders spoke, the conclusions was this. sex outside of marriage is wrong, and dirty thoughts thinking about sex is also a sin, and when you masturbate, that causes you to think about sex and picture yourself doing it, and therefor masturbation is a sin. while i was at camp, i had never masturbated before, but now, 2 years later, i find it quite pleasurable, but i always feel guilty afterwards because i feel like i'm sinning. can someone help me here (from a Christian stand-point,i know atheists are gonna say nothing is wrong with it,and it's natural,just like they say sex outside of marriage is "natural".and no atheist wise-cracks about brainwashing, etc. your answer will be ignored). thanks.

I am not an atheist.

I am not a pantheist.

I am not a polytheist.

I am polypanatheistic!!!

Lol...

Pantheistic = I beleive "God" is the essence of the universe, what makes up everything.

Atheistic = I don't think it's a god, just a non-sentient force.

Polytheist = I beleive there are eight of these essences, one for each color of the spectrum + black.

What do you say to that?

I'm a triple threat heathen! Lol.

Opinions? Thoughts? Comments?
