They say that the Israelites are 12 tribes descended from the 12 sons of Israel (Jacob). However, would Jacob's daughter Dinah also be considered an Israelite?

I am a Christian and I mean hardcore Christian.

I have so much faith in Jesus that it flows out of my veins.

However, I am not a good person. I sin alot; and I mean alot.

I lie, steal, cheat, and hurt people. I can't stop it eventhough I know it is bad.

Everytime I sin I ask God for forgiveness. I don't just ask for forgiveness just like that; I am sincere about it.

However, I keep on sinning like hell and I enjoy it as hell. When I am done I ask for forgiveness.

I have a brother that despises me of my conduct. He on the other hand is an unbelievablly good person. He is a saint compared to me being a devil.

The twist is he is not a Christian and he even opposes every religion in this world claiming that religion is the cause of so much suffering in the world.

He says Jesus was just a man and he'll never change his mind.

Well, who cares? I am going to heaven and my brother is going to hell, or atleast he won't be in heaven.

This is a real story.

I really want to conceive a child. I hope it is god's will. Can you pray for me to either have a child or be content without one? I need prayer dealing with this issue.

Thanks!

Why can't Christians be as moral and educated as Atheists?

I have been looking at the profiles of some of the "atheists" that seem to answer all of the questions in R&S. They are so determined to challenge we beleivers. My question is why are you so vehement about this topic? Okay, you don't believe. Whatever. But why go out of your way to put down those of us that do? Why be so negative towards we who follow Jesus? Even if you don't believe that Jesus is the son of God, his teachings are beautiful. Why have it your mission to put down a man who says God loves each of us? Do you think perhaps something sinister is feuling you? Why not let each person believe what they want? It isn't hurting anyone. There are the extremists in every case. I understand being put off by those that preach damnation to gays.....but that is definately the minority. Can't we all just get along?

I don't mean sex! I am a 52 year old single female who left a 30 year marriage. I iss having someone to just talk to or sit and watch a movie with. Guys are either looking only for sex (which I am not) or their "soul mate" which I am not either. I just want a guy friend who's not attached to hang around with. Is that asking to much? I have looked inot the gay friend-but they are usually attached and their partner is jealous. Are there older single men out there who would have a platonic relationship with someone? How do you find them?

My friend moved away like 4 months ago, and christmas break is coming up. Her mom is still not financially stable enough to send her back home this soon, so we figured we get her here ourselves. Christmas break is about 1 month away, and airline tickeyts will skyrocket last minute, and we cant afford that. What's the fastest way to raise money? What are your experiences?

We need this asap and if you could give us suggestions that would help soo much

i've been raised as a catholic...but not deeply involved in anything really. just my religious ed program.
so it is almost time for me to "become an adult in the church" aka make my confirmation. it's a big step for a catholic i guess.
but at the same time, i don't know if this is really what i want. since i'm 15 it's not like i've ever had a say in what religion to be. but i've become independent and i'm starting to think about things more.
i do believe in God, but there are christian beliefs that i do not agree with. ex: it's against christian faith to be gay
so i feel like i'm in my own religion! either that or i'm like half catholic half something else...
any suggestions on what to try? or who to talk to? and i will not choose to be an atheist, i need God.
(thanks for actually reading all of that)

In light of these Bible verses found in John 15:1-8 what does this mean when God prunes us? I know for a fruit tree needs to be cut back in order to grow. But how does the pruning of a Christian produce good fruit and what and How does the Lord "prune" us? Thank you for your answers and the Lord bless you:)

My girlfriend often makes rude comments about my family becasue we buy new cars and nice thing all the time because we are finacially secure. She says these things because her family is kinda poor and cant afford the things we buy. I never brag about the new things we get or point them out, but she notices them. I do not think my family should have to change our lifestyle for her. I love to buy cloths even though i am a guy and im not afraid to buy a 40 shirt or a 60 pair of jeans i work for my money and should be able to buy what i want right? i spend plenty on her as well so she shouldnt feel left out at all. Has anyone been through a similar situation, and she also believe that i sould be responsible fro picking her up on dates every time, she lives 16 miles away. but im practical and its stupid for me to make two trips when she can make one, am i right? its not about the money, but its the principle behind it, whats everyones opinion?

Here in Australia there are groups saying that Father Christmas is being offensive by saying "ho ho ho". he should be saying "ha ha ha" instead.
These people who have decided on being politically correct I reckon need to get a life and stop being so bloody "Sensitive"

Since the God states that we are to keep the Sabbath Holy, and that it is to be a day of rest, why, as Christians, do we not obey this command? Why do we attend church and so forth on Sunday, and not Saturday? Why do so few Christians keep Holy the Sabbath?

Elohim is correctly translated as "Strong ones"...what exactly does that mean?

2007-11-11 13:31:02 · 11 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

and to let me know who that person is when I meet him. Is that a sensible prayer that God would answer? If God knows my heart (that I want the two of us to grow closer and be a stronger tool for God together than we are apart.)

Is it possible that He could not want me to ever meet that special someone and follow His plan alone?
