In the Bible people believe and then are baptized. Belief always precedes baptism. A baby cannot believe and cannot make a choice about salvation. So what is the point in baptizing a baby?

Has everyone forgot the real meaning of Christmas? Has our society become so obsessed with gifts and Santa Claus that we don't even remember that Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ?

If christians does not confirm to the professed standards of christianity, why do you disassociate them from christianity rather than accpeting the failure of christianity.

Why are Jewish people so fierce about praying in Hebrew? Cant God understand any language? The reason I say this is because my Jewish co-worker told me that for Jewish folks they believe that prayers in english or any other language are invalid and so you wouldnt be communicating with God. What is with that?
For atheists: Yes I know you dont believe in God.

Don't Leave 'Em Hanging

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Ralph out.

When the Head Nurse became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph, the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied "He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

Do any of you have a "different" book of the Bible that contains things that "should" be in the Bible but aren't? For example, my family has the book of Hezekiah, and the 11th Commandment is "Thou shalt not drop spoons in the garbage disposal."

Have fun all! Creativity counts!

You bump into an acquaintance who’s name you’re not entirely sure of. Ask right away? Or do what I do, keep talking to the person hoping you'll eventually remember, then get to a point where it's too late to ask and fear the person?

Well, if you are absolutely sure you are going to marry your bf or gf would it be OK to 'show each other's affection'? Not all hardcore with actual sex, but touching andd groping? Why does God want us to wait till marriage anyway? If you stick with one person your whole life would it be the same? And dedicate your relationship to him. I'm just wondering.

what has happened to the Wednesday prayer meetings? It seems like a lot of churches just have Bible study. Some will take a few requests and one person prays for a minute or two and that's it. This is serious folks. If you are in a church like that, please consider talking to your pastor about it. People used to gather in small groups and pray for 20 minutes or more. How are we going to see revival if Christians won't pray together?
