for a group of people who aren't supposed to judge anyone (lest they be judged themselves) why do they always answer tough questions with lots of threats and capital letters?

(ex. you are a SINNER and will burn in HELL for all of ETERNITY for thinking what you think A HEX ON THEE)

For it is prophesied in the scripture that the sun will be hotter than ever before is it not? And if I remember right; the first go around was the the great flood. The second go around will be by fire. And the Bible also refers to a star falling from heaven (Meteor?) and the star's name was wormwood. So as for me, I believe that global warming is absolutely real! I think it is part of the prophesy. What do you think?

i'm doing a hristology project in school and i would like to know, just in general, what it means to "see" jesus as savior/messiah.

i'm not looking for specific quotes from the bible to help explain this; just a brief summary from your point of view.

thank you!

since we are in a serious overpopulation crisis, how can anyone say that being gay is against nature? aside from castration or abstinence or abortion it seems that homosexuals are the only answer to our problem.

gays are a way to naturally balance out this situation. by this very simple understanding it is clear that gay relationships are natural and should be encouraged.

gays are a Godsend and the human race will be dependant on the gay populous to perpetuate our existence.

shouldn't we all be thanking God for gay people since they help relieve our exponential birth rate crisis?

i'm not interested in "god made adam and eve not adam and steve" cult chanting.

i just think that we shouldn't be so ignorant to think that gays aren't natural.

you know what's not natural? walking on water. i guess that makes jesus an abomination, too.

I asked the bishop at my church if she (yes it's a she) could marry my fiance and I and she said I have to take 8 marriage counseling classes and the fee is $500 Is this the going rate? Believers, Is there a certain protocol like I mean If I belong to a Church does my Bishop have to marry me or can I get someone else to? $500 is alot of money considering a wedding is expensive enough. Am I wrong for getting someone else to marry me? I would like answers from people who have facts on this matter not those who will criticize the situation. Your thoughts?

Let's say that there was no heaven or hell...

Would you follow Jesus, if all that meant was to make a better life here on earth? Or did you only choose to follow Christ because he saves you from hell?

first im sorry for my english

i think sex before marriage is a sin back in the olden days they had no protection ,

in this day and age , god will probably say ok as long as we love that person and we respect them , since we have condoms and stuff , he probably doesn't mind

god probably said it, it was a sin back in the olden days because people can get pregnant , since they had no protection

am i wrong on this??????????
whats your thoughts?????/

So, its offensive for a teacher to let her class name a teddy bear after their favourite class mate! Any ideas on possible names she should have allowed? Here are a few to get you started.
1. Camel Breath
2. Goat Botherer
3. Gordon (after General Gordon of Khartoum)
4. Rupert
5. Jesus

I have heard this statement from many Christian brothers & sisters.

"No one goes to the Father except through him, Christ Jesus. Our sins are forgiven and we have the hope of "everlasting life" in accepting Christ Jesus."

Can you tell me what happens to the whole lot of people who existed before Jesus Christ pbh was born, Who don’t have a chance to go to heaven, just because they were born before Jesus Christ pbh. Isn’t God unjust to them? As according to the Christians, Jesus Christ pbh is the only way . The people born before were not given a chance to follow the way.

And also think about the likes of Abraham, Noah, Moses, David, Solomon pbt .... What about their salvation....Is it also through Jesus pbh.

Gospel
Mt 15:29-37

At that time:
Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee,
went up on the mountain, and sat down there.
Great crowds came to him,
having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute,
and many others.
They placed them at his feet, and he cured them.
The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking,
the deformed made whole,
the lame walking,
and the blind able to see,
and they glorified the God of Israel.

Jesus summoned his disciples and said,
“My heart is moved with pity for the crowd,
for they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat.
I do not want to send them away hungry,
for fear they may collapse on the way.”
The disciples said to him,
“Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place
to satisfy such a crowd?”
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
“Seven,” they replied, “and a few fish.”
He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
Then he took the seven loaves and the fish,
gave thanks, broke the loaves,
and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied.
They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full.

O mankind, a similitude is set forth, so listen to it. Surely those on whom you call upon instead of God cannot create even a fly, though they should all combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Weak, indeed, are both the seeker and the sought.

Why did you make me so attractive to women? My life is fraught with all the fatigue and adulation that one mere mortal man can handle! Oh, it is so, so HARD to be handsome! Why have you cursed me? Why? Can I ever find true peace or will I go through life hiding and hiding my attractiveness? Oh, God, why have you done this to me? Can anyone on Religion and Spirituality tell me why I am so cursed? Is there anything I can do to live the normal life of normal men? What can I do?????

I have showed a picture of Jesus to my 3 kids when they were just small babies, and every one of them recognized him. If they were crying, they would calm down right away when looking at him, also they would coo and giggle, and get excited. God says he knew US before. I truly beleive this, BABIES don't lie.
