This is related to my last question regarding satan's fall from heaven from jealousy, pride, and the like.

This question assumes there is free will in heaven and assumes we, as humans, will still have free will thus be susceptible to temptations.

I really don't. I find it hard to believe that people get what they deserve.

I went to a store today and at the registers there was this guy with really bad OCD. He didn't want to see any pens or rubber bands anywhere... it looked like he was having such a hard time just buying something. His obsessive compulsive disorder was really bad... and he even said that he had OCD. He kept apologizing to the cashier... "I'm sorry, I have OCD. I'm sorry". A lot of people behind him were laughing. I felt so bad.

I don't believe in karma, really. It seems like a naive thing to believe in.

There seems to be only two possibilities: Either he isn't "willing" to end suffering, in which case he is not all-loving and therefore is not God; or, he isn't "able" to end suffering, in which case he is not all-powerful, and therefore is not God.

Why, in fact, is he the "cause" of so much, if not almost all, of the suffering mentioned in the bible? It is especially noteworthy that if one reads the bible as it is printed, without the teachings of the church, it might become apparent that the story (whether truth or fiction) is of a messiah who came to save those who had been taken captive "by" the OT God, "from" the OT God. How ironic that the caucasian community embraced the teachings and "salvation" not meant for them, and were then pulled into the belief in a God who had said he wanted nothing to do with them because they were not "His Chosen Ones".

If you have spent the night at someone's home and you have to leave in the morning, but they have not yet woken up by the time you have to leave, what is the proper etiquette for handling this?

Assume it is someone whom it would be awkward to awaken with a knock on the door. They also knew you had to leave in the morning; you aren't just running out.

Who wants to have questions where you just post what you believe, with scripture or your own thoughts to back it up?

Rules would be:

short posts. Your own thoughts with a FEW relevant verses tha you base your answer on.

No cut and paste and NO LINKS

No comments on each others posts, except maybe to say "COuld you clarify what you meant by..."

No bashing!

We would take time just to ponder what each other has said- without making judgement (at least not posted publicly)

Best answers would be chosen by vote, with the best answer NOT being what you agreed with but for the person who has best shown an attempt at understanding and not bashing in their Yahoo conduct for the week.

I think we need to listen to each other and we need to try and understand where each other is coming from- without rushing in to try and prove who is right and who is wrong. I would enjoy just getting to know how we all think and what is important to each other, and how we form opinions.

Being an Apostolic, we believe (By God's Word) that when one dies, the soul is either with God or hell. What I want to know is, what do you all believe happens when one dies. Thanx

Barely a week goes by without someone from the clergy giving his opinion that the government should do this or that.
The Pope affiliated with the world rulers.

Where in the Bible did Jesus ever give an opinion to Ceasar rulership? Jesus concentrated solely on Godly matters.
Why try and influence a world who's king right now is Satan?
1 John 5:19 and 2 Corinthian 4:4 say that Satan is the ruler at least until God's Day of Judgement.
Satan even offered Jesus the world's kingdoms!

It confuses me that religious leaders are involved with the world that Jesus said be no part of.

I'm a 19 year old university student, and I'm only just beginning to get involved in serious relationships (well, more so ones that put a lot of pressure on you sexually). My question is about sexual boundaries pertaining to Christianity.

I've been talking to my counsellor, and he thought that now that things are getting serious, it might be a good idea to decide how far is appropriate (so that I don't end up doing something impusive with a guy in my room at 2:00 am, while other parts of my body other than my brain are doing the thinking)

I've never had sex before. I was raised to believe that sex comes after marriage. However, there are a wide range of activities that don't constitute as "sex" per se. I just need some help deciding where to draw the line (holding hands, kissing, french kissing, heavy petting, touching, oral etc).

I don't think the bible talks of this explicitly, but I might be wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! =)

Take gay marriage for example, I understand that you find homosexuality abhorrent, but why should your moral views have any bearing on the actions of others?

How would you feel if a large group of Muslims and Jews started to lobby to ban the sale of pork?

What ever happend to the concept of personal liberty?
