Society & Culture - 21 November 2007

This is not to be rude but there are some ladies who have been coming to my house for a few weeks now every couple of days to give me new readings about religious views and although I believe I do not know how to tell them I don't want to join their church and to stop coming by. Please advise :-)

When I was little, I would go to the church with my mom. When I was around 8, I stopped going to the church, and I wouldn't even care about it. I am now 18, and I jave thought about giving up my religion before, because I thought it was stupid. Lately, I've started praying, and believing in it again. Is that weird...?

So Adam and Eve eat fruits from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Is this sinful because God told them not to do it or is it sinful to know good and evil? And for what reason would God forbid them to to eat from such a tree?

What does it mean to "know" good and evil. Why would the knowledge of good and evil be "sinful"?

I know it says that its wrong for a man to lay with a man as one lies woman. However, when two women make out its different right? I like to cuddle with girls and kiss them, but I think male homosexuality is gross like the Bible says. As long as I don't dress like a man I am not sinning right? Serious answers please!!

Genesis 9:22-28 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

Only pray the Lord's prayer, for God already knows what you need. (Matthew 6:7-13)
Pray for whatever you want: "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:14); "If you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name." (John 16:23)
BUT it doesn't matter anyway, because "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) and "We know that God does not listen to sinners." (John 9:31)

Don`t criticize please. I mean hunters as in on the show Supernatural. Not seeking and studying, but actually hunting (AKA slaying) the evil things. PLEASE only answer if you or someone you know is or has been a hunter or if you have some other experience with hunters/slayers of the supernatural.
If you know anything about it, please answer. If anyone can teach me over email, I would really love that. I want to be a hunter but I need to learn more first so that I don`t get myself killed.

Thank you!

Keep in mind, G-d said "anyone who dares change these commandments shall be cut off from me forever"

And Christians followed the Roman church when they "changed the Sabbath" to Sunday.

But here is the question.


Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.


Why is your church doing the worship G-d wants?

Please be Bible specific, and explain why the verses you chose supports your exact style of worship.

IE: not "we are spiritual" and G-d loves us.

A drunken man staggers in to a Catholic church and wanders over to the confessional box. He opens the door, sits down and says nothing. The bewildered priest waits for a few minutes, allowing the drunken man some time to collect his thoughts. Growing impatient, the priest coughs to attract his attention, but still the man says nothing. The priest then knocks on the wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak.

Finally, the drunk replies: "No use knockin' mate, there's no paper in this one either."

when someone with different beliefes (me)is doing their thing and mentions it. some christains just have to pester the and insult them about being wrong.
like take "Jesus M''s answer to my question for an example. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoRpHqyinvD3BuD0S2hO.Wfsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071121182520AAvtsuH
like how many christain protestors to you see outside abortion clinics,gay and pagan.ect. functions? always and how often do you see gays,abortion clinic nurses, and pagans protesting outside of a church on a sunday morning? never! so why do some christians act like they're the the victims when it's sometimes the complete oposite? why can't they respect others beliefes we mostly respect thiers? I have nothing against christains at all my family is christain they're verry good honest ppl and I love them and respect their beliefes even though I don't agree and it's the same with them.

used in an episode...and not bleeped so I assumed they were not that bad (I"m not sure if I got the spelling right).

But what do they mean?

When they used the word "coons", they showed one of the jurors being upset and he was a black man.

The use of those words was to prove a point in court...that words can hurt people and make them do irrational decisions...

My fiance's sister got married a year and a half ago, and, although I gave her lingerie at her bridal shower, my fiance (who was in the wedding) and I never got her a proper wedding gift. We were planning to do it shortly after the wedding, but never did, and it's been hanging over my head for a long time now. I would really like to get her a wedding gift now, but am not sure how to do it without seeming tacky. I am especially worried, now that I am engaged, that she will think I am only giving her a gift in order to get one from her next June.

I know I got myself into a bad situation etiquette-wise, but what is the best thing I can do to get out of it? (I am considering getting an expensive household item -- like a set of good kitchen knives -- to give to her at Christmas and explaining to her then that it is to make up for the wedding gift we didn't buy.)

Billions of them are slaughtered in preparation for this day. We eat them and feel (temporarily) sated. Does anyone not see the irony in this, us giving thanks even as we are taking the lives of helpless creatures and eating dead bodies of birds?
