My guy friend and I are in middle school. We have been friends like a year. He's bisexual, and i'm bisexual. Ever since this school year started I had feelings that I haven't had before. I want to know whether he likes me or not. I want to ask him to be my boyfriend. I wish I can have a relationship like boyfriends.

Matthew 7:21Not everyone saying to me:
"Lord Lord will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, "Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name and expel demons in your name and perform many powerful works in your name. and yet then I will confess to them I never knew you. Get away from me you workers of lawlessness.
So how do you know if God hears your prayers? What makes you one of the people he doesn't hear?
You are praying to know the truth about God but how do you know it isn't satan who answers your prayer?

Let me just mention some of the things that the bible said were true thousands of years ago and that science has just discovered to be true in recent years. These facts were all stated in the bible anywhere's from 2,000-4,000 years ago depending on which book you find it in.

1)The earth floats free in space(Job 26:7)---Job was written 4000 years ago. No one knew this fact 4000 years ago.
2)Creation is made of particle, indiscernible to our eyes(atoms, molecules, electrons,.......)(Hebrews 11:3)--- Not until the 19th century was that known.
3)There are mountains on the bottom of the ocean(Jonah 2:5,6)---This was discovered in the last century.
4)Blood is the source of life and health(Leviticus 17:11,14)---Up until 120 years ago, sick people were "bled" and many died as a result(e.g. George Washington). Today we know that healthy blood is necessary to bring life giving nutrients to every cell in the body. God declared that "the life of the flesh is in the blood" long before science understood it's function.
5)Our bodies are made of the dust of the ground(Genesis 2:7;3:19)----Scientists have discovered that the human body is comprised of 28 trace elements, all of which are found in the earth.
6) The universe had a beginning(Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 1:10-12)---Starting with the studies of Albert Einstein in the early 1900's, science has confirmed the biblical view that the universe had a beginning. When the bible was written most people believed that the universe was eternal. Science has proven them wrong but the bible was correct.
7) The earth is a sphere(Isaiah 40:22)---At the time when many thought the earth was flat, the bible told us that the earth is spherical. Incidently, for those who call christians 'flat earthers', that verse is 2700 years
old.
8)Scripture assumes a revolving spherical earth(Luke 17:34-36)----Jesus said that at his return some would be asleep at night while others would be working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth with day and night occurring simultaneously.
9)Light can be divided(Job 38:24)---Sir Isaac Newton studied light and discovered that white light is made of 7 colors, which can be parted and then recombined. Science confirmed this 400 years ago, The Bible declared this 4000 years ago.
10)The continents were created as one large land mass(Genesis 1:9,10)---Many geologists agree that the earth was originally one super continent.
11)Hydrological cycle described(Job 36:27,28)---About4000 years ago the bible declared that God "draws up drops of water which distills as rain from the mist which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man". The ancients observed mighty rivers flowing into the ocean, but they could not conceive why the sea level never rose.. Though they observed rainfall they had only quaint theories as to it's origin. Meteorologists now understand that the hydrological cycle consists of evaporation, atmospheric transportation,distillation and precipitation.
12)Circumcision on the 8th day is ideal(Genesis 17:12)---Medical science has discovered that the blood clotting chemical Prothrombin peaks in a newborn on the 8th day. This is therefore, the safest day to circumcise a baby. If you do it before that he'll bleed to death. How did Moses know that?
13)The universe is expanding(Job9:8,Isaiah42:5,Je... 51:15,Zechariah12:1 and other verses)---Seventeen times in the Old Testament it says that "God is stretching the heavens". During the 20th century most scientists(including Einstein) believed the universe was static. Others believed it should have collapsed due to gravity. Then in 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble showed distant galaxies were receding from the earth and the further away they were, the faster they were moving. This discovery revolutionized the field of astronomy. Einstein admitted his mistake and today most astronomers agree with what the creator told us thousands of years ago--the universe is expanding.
14)Light travels in a path(Job 38:19)--- Light is said to have a "way"{Hebrew:derek, literally a traveled path or road]. Until the 17th century it was believed that light was transmitted instantaneously. We now know that light is a form of energy that travel at 186,000 miles per second in a straight line. Indeed, there is a way of light.
15)Air has weight(Job 28:25)--- It was once thought that air was weightless. Yet 4000 years ago Job declared that God established "a weight for the wind".
16)Ocean currents anticipated(Psalms 8:8)----About 3000 years ago the bible describles the "paths of the sea". In the 19th century Mathew Maury...the father of oceanography, after reading Psalms chapter 8, researched and discovered ocean currents that follow specific paths through the seas.

Contrary to all the jibberish you hear in todays secular humanist public schools about how we used to believe a lot of myths in the bible and then science came along and proved the bible wrong.....on the contrary, the bible was way ahead of science. Even though the bible is not a scientific book, when it does speak on science it is accurate. To quote Robert Jastrow:
"This is an exceedingly strange development, unexpected by all but the theologians. They have always accepted the word of the Bible: In the beginning God created heaven and earth... [But] for the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; [and] as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

- Robert Jastrow

Often, people say "if you don't believe in god (side note: when they say "god", they generally mean "the Abrahamic, Judeo-Christian, Biblical deity Yahweh") and accept his son as your messiah and personal savior, god will grant to you in the next life what you chose in this life: separation from him".

Really? Even if I absolutely cannot bring myself to believe in something I know to be nonsensical and self-contradictory, hence logically impossible? Even if I'm never able to bring myself to accept faith as a valid epistemological exercise?

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Now listen - I'm not actually worried about going to Hell, so I'd appreciate keeping chatter about "if you're worried about it, you must in some small way believe" to a minimum. I'm asking people who DO believe, and asking within their framework so that we can bypass attempts to prove that this god exists. That takes too much time so I'll grant you this premise for the sake of argument.

Anyway...

I was baptized as a Catholic and as a child I attended mass every once in a while. I when to RE, but stopped after I got my first reconciliation. My mom says that when I was little I was very religious. I would cry to her, "why don't we ever go to church?" and if we passed a religious statue I would want to stop and pray. As I got older church seemed much more boring to me. I didn't feel the spiritual connection. I haven't gone to a Catholic mass in years.

Lately I have been going to my friend's church. It is a very small non-denominational Christian church. There is a lot more energy and they focus a lot on a personal relationship with the Lord. I really like it there, but I'm not quite sure if I want to leave my Catholic faith. What should I do?

Scenario that was given ~~~~~~~
Two men are in a relationship......
One is openly gay and very comfortable with his life. The second thinks he is a woman - he has no desire to have gender changing surgery as he is comfortable with his body.

Is this a homosexual or hetrosexual relationship?

According to the professor it is hetrosexual and thinking otherwise is to fail this part of the course due to the fact the second man believes he is a woman.

Is anyone else confused by this answer?
Some questions I can't get out of my head.....
1) What if he changes his mind and dates women, was he really gay before?
2) What about the other man's feelings as he believes in his life choices?

Opinions please...... this course is driving me nuts.

Its a simple concept .. I do not know of any Anti Baptists, or
even Anti Seventh day ( your own roots I might add ) .. and before you answer "the Devil Made them do it" or my personal favourite "We are persecuted like Jesus" Seriously ask yourself the question.. why is there so many people trying to get you to think differently.. and moreover .. and why do they do nothing to use your own publications to do so .. .. why does your own history cause you fear when someone mentions it

This supernova was seen in 1987. It was 168,000 light tears away. This means it exploded more than 150,000 years before it was created. The distance was determined by measuring the size of several gaseous rings (planetary nebula) that were illuminated by the initial flash.
