I found that faith in Christ for what he has done on the cross for us is complete for our salvation- forgiveness of our sins, freedom from sin and its power, eternal life in Christ. In fact he said "It is finished" (John 19:30-NKJV)

Please help me, I am confused!
Is it rude to "glance at" or "checking out" or "flirt" with others (waiters, pedestrians, and ads) while you have your date next to you?
And if my date do so, should I take it as "not-intereted-in-you" gesture? or should I ignore it as just as his habit?
Its considered as a rude attitude if it were a straight date, yeah?

I only think it's pretentious when someone is pretending to be different and work hard to achieve some sort of unique style. I think if someone really is indie, they don't even think of themselves in such a category--it's just whatever style they have is theirs and not part of a movement. What do you think?

If you don't believe in God and you are "wrong" then you will go to hell. If you don't believe in God and you are "right" then there is no heaven.

So all the world's different religions placed aside (say there's just one big religion w/ one God)... what is the point of being an atheist? Religiously speaking you can never experience the joys of heaven or vice versa the horrors of hell. And logically speaking you have already eliminated the possiblity of going to heaven.

So why risk going to hell or never going to heaven?

The dress code is business casual. You can wear suits if you would like. During my first week of work, one of my co-workers told me I didn't have to wear pantyhose (I was wearing a skirt and hose). She will wear pant suits, but will wear low-cut shirts under it. Basically, she doesn't dress all that professionally, and some of the other ladies that I work with are kind of laid back on their attire.

So, is it better to dress like your co-workers to fit in the environment? Or, to dress conservatively and follow the saying: Don't dress for the position you have, dress for the position you want?

In the workplace, stereotypes can be formed and work images are formed based on dress and appearance. I just want to give off a professional image. Thoughts on that are also appreciated.

I hear people say that he died because it was impossible for God to forgive sins otherwise but this makes no sense since God forgave King David of adultery and murder. Two sins which had NO ANIMAL SACRIFICE for them. The penalty was death. He also forgave others before Jesus was born.

"A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD..." -- Proverbs 12:2

Yes

Now consider the case of Job. After commissioning Satan to ruin Job financially and to slaughter his shepherds and children to win a petty bet with Satan. God asked Satan: "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause." -- Job 2:3

http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Roman%20Catholicism/pope_burning_in_hell.htm

How sad! How tragic! According to the Bible, Pope John Paul II went straight to burn in hell-fire on April 2nd, 2005. Jesus clearly stated in John 3:3...

"Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

The Pope NEVER spoke of being "born-again." The Pope NEVER made any public profession of faith ALONE in Jesus Christ. On the contrary, Pope John Paul II placed his faith in the traditions and manmade doctrines of the Catholic religion. There is NOTHING in the King James Bible (or the Catholic Bible) about keeping the Seven Sacraments to get to heaven...nothing! There is NOTHING in the Word of God about the Immaculate Conception of Mary. There is NOTHING in the Bible about the Rosary or praying to God through Mary. There is nothing in the Bible about priests being celibate.

I wish it were not so. The fact that the Catholic religion is one of the most popular religions on the earth should be a grave warning sign to us.

The existence or nonexistence of a God still lacks any tangible evidence on either side. Both are as yet, unprovable. Does this make Agnosticism the only logical conclusion. Ignoring the harm (and/or good) that religion may bring about. This is a question solely about a Deity's existence rather than the idea of being areligious.

I am thinking of organizing a book drive at my school to send the books to the poorest of the poor children in Appalachia...I have no idea how i would get the books to the children..any ideas on how i could have the books distributed maybe even to a certain area or community somewhere in Appalachia? I really would like to do this becuase i think it would be a really cool thing to give these kids the opportunity to learn how to read and maybe even write...There are great possibilities that literacy can lead to..Knowing how to read and write has opened many doors for myself and countless others, and it is only right that we share that gift..I may be getting too preachy, but im not trying to. this is actually how i see the situation and how i can better it..so, any ideas?
