1) How did you come across your religion?
2) Is God/Jesus the same person?
3) Is there one true church and if so which one is the true one?
4) Do people who kill, rape, or succeed suicide go to hell or heaven?
5) Is there a certain way you have to worship in your religion?
6) How do I find salvation in your religion?
7) Which is the oldest religion Christian or Paganism?
8) Why did God/Jesus let all those hardships effect Job? Would this be called a bet with Satan? Was he trying to prove something to Satan? Explain and please do not quote the Bible I want this to come from what you think and feel.
9) Do you believe that we are in the last day/years of life on Earth?
10) Do you go to church because you want to be closer to God/Jesus, or do you go just because everyone else does and to make your presence known?

I know there's going to be a lot of turmoil caused by this question, but I guess I kind of have to ask it anyway.

In the bible, is there anything that tells Christians not to judge others? Where does it say this (please quote)? Now explain why it is that there is so much judgment toward atheists/pagans, etc. on this website?

Do you feel it is YOUR job and not the job of your God to judge these people?

Also, when you are questioned about what you would do if you were wrong, why is it that most of you answer with a question and not an answer? Do you believe yourselves to be all knowing? Wasn't/Isn't that Jesus' job? Why is it okay not to educate others and yourselves through debate and discussion rather than just ignoring the actual question so you can sound holier than others? How is this creating more followers of Christ? Don't you think it's doing more harm than good to be so closed minded?

I mean no harm, these are just questions I'm curious about.

I think that when the emphsis is mainly on believing on Jesus we can make a dangerous mistake in causing people to not believe Jesus. The law of God, the ten commandments is our mirror that should show us our sins and the Holyspirit convicts us to look to Jesus. It can not save but the need for repentence should be evident when we see a sinless Christ crucified for our sins. So shouldn't they both be preached hand and hand ? Please show me your view and proof texts...here is mine. (1) Isaiah 58:1 (prophetic book : Show my people their sins...) (2)Revelations 2:5 (prophetic book: Remember whence thou art fallen...repent.)(3)Gal.3:24 (The law was our school master... to bring us to christ...Mosiac and royal)(4)Romans 7:7 (Is the law sin? God forbid...Knowledge of what sin is.(5) 1 John 3:4 (Sin is the trangression of the Law...) (6)Hebrews 10:16-23 (God writes his Laws in our hearts...Let us draw near with a true heart....lets us hold fast our professsion..)(7)Hebrews12:2 (Look to Jesus)

Sin is a christian concept, so christians can be sinners because they believe in sin.

Non-Christians that do not believe in sin can not be sinners, because sin has no meaning to them.

To Catholics, Confession is a big deal, but its not a christian ideal, so to them it means nothing. Do christians feel guilty that they dont go to confession? No, because its not within their guidelines of belief. Same with sin. If you dont believe in sin, it means nothing to you.

Another example. Laws differ state to state, they only apply to you if your in a certain state, or reside in a certain state, if your not in that state, those laws mean nothing to you. Laws in NY mean nothing to someone in CA. Same with Sin. Sin is the law within christianity, it only applies within the realm of christianity, if you arent christian, you are exempt.

To sum it up. Drop the fire and brimstone speach, and drop the sinner speach, it doesnt apply.

...there would be no wars? That seems like a pretty ignorant statement. War has always been about power, and greed. If there was no religon, we would just find something else to fight about. Possibly land, minerals, supplies, people, ect.

for the time span of evolution:
consider our sun.
it is shrinking at a steady rate each year, right? using up its fuel.
pick a length of time for evolution to occur... i'm not sure what number is guessed at right now.
now increase the sun's size at the rate it is shrinking for that number of years.
i calculated this out a while back, and anything over a million years is preposterous. the number of millions (i forget how many, but it was what the scientists were guessing at that time) i used put the sun's size way past pluto.

on the other hand, 6,000 years doesn't make much difference.

any explanations for this problem?

thanks

i understand that the rate of shrinkage might have changed a little bit, but still...

The Unity High School in Sudan came to public attention when one of its teachers, Gillian Gibbons was arrested by Sudanese authorities for allegedly insulting Islam by naming a teddy bear, "Muhammad".

Islam traditionally condemns any depictions of Muhammad, who Muslims regard as the last messenger and prophet of God. The teddy bear was named Muhammad by a vote of the class Gibbons was teaching.

The bear was named Muhammad after one of the boys in the class who had that name.

Isnt the reaction just over the top? She could recieve 40 lashes! It is ridiculious!

I've looked at numerous places on the web to try and find other lesbians that are within 20 years of my age - either direction. Amazingly, they're CLUELESS. They all suggest Eureka Springs, AR. That's less than a 45 minute drive from where I live. BUT THERE ISN'T A SINGLE PERSON THERE!!!!! I find only lesbians over 50 who all have kids, husbands, diseases, alcholism, drug abuse, and a trailer trash lifestyle. It would be really nice to find lesbians closer to my age, and possibly to my career and lifestyle. So, where is everyone? Am I the only lesbian under 50? It sure seems like it.

Isn't it possible that God used evolution as his plan to create the earth? Since it's impossible for Evolution to just start itself on it's own, and since I don't think it's realistic that humans just popped outta nowhere.

I Asume that the meaning of the word anglican means "english", if it has another meaning please explain me.

For example I live in Mexico city, and I'm catholic, it would be useless that I convert to anglicanism, because I'm not in England, And by your saying I understand that anglicans are the catholic church in England. If the church is ONE, is St. Thomas More a Saint for the anglican church? for the roman catholic church he's a saint.

Canterbury would be as Rome for the anglicans in America, If catholics in England are anglicans and don't have any thing to do with Rome, catholics in America don't have anything to do with England, so there shouldn't be anglicans outside England, that's only a personal opinion, I don't know if I'm right.

there are things I don't understand, I'm asking with respect.

The new testament is about the resurrection of Jesus.. Half the Christians that answered to my question did not know where to find it. They asked me, a person they consider to be an atheist, to tell them where to read it.
Some of them had very smart Christian mouths. The Christian mouth is the sign of the authenticity of Jesus.

What would you quantify as evidence of a personal Creator (not deistic philosophy)

Would it be, a world without suffering?
Would this creator have to reveal himself to you, on your terms even if he didn't reveal himself to the rest of the world or is personal "revelation" sufficient.? [Revelation meaning that you were divinely shown proof, perhaps a being appeared to you professing God's love as many have claimed]

If you find offense in this question, there was none intended at all, I'm merely interested in hearing diverse responses as to what the "evidence" should/would be.....
