Ok so given that we are about 2000 years out in the christian faith and given that this religion has evolved considerably over that time, what will it be like in 20,000 years? If, say in 20,000 years, Christ has not returned and there is no rapture - where would that leave christianity?

I ask this question also thinking about the history of human endeavour - during the 2000 years of christianity, only the last 400 or so (since galileo really) has any real alternative* been available. And only in the last 100 years has this alternative been potent. In the last 30 years things have hotted up and now every day, science is forging a brave new world while christianity is still trying to answer the same question it was millenia ago.

Will christianity be able to compete or is it doomed to eventual failure?

See if you can answer this question thinking far into the future - not just here and now.

(Quoting scripture is pointless here - tell me what *you* think, not what the bible says!)

So this guy who claims to be straight has anal sex with other men. He does not wear a condom, becase something about wearing a condom meant that you were planning on it and that would make you gay. Is this true, or how do other gay men feel about it. He dates women, he claims to be straight, he detests gays, but he sleeps around with men (unprotected)

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.


What does it mean?

If such were offered with profits to be donated to a worthy charity, I'd buy it. Even if not.

Heck, I'd volunteer to be the photographer (tee hee). Oh., and uh of course would you do so in the name of God, or would this be a strictly spiritual affair (to keep in step with the topic of R&S, of course)?

Though I am Agnostic, I do think its interesting regarding Mormon doctrine that they don't believe in The Trinity as defined by the Roman Catholic Church and inherited by the Protestant religions.

This passage in The Book of Mormon http://scriptures.lds.org/1_ne/13/28-29#28 goes to what Mormons call "...plain and precious things..." that were removed or changed in the New Testament that The Book of Mormon tries to re-establish.

Its interesting to me that Christians agree that the early Christians (pre 325 AD) did not necessarily believe, nor teach, The Trinity. Is it possible that the RCC didn't get that part right?

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552(?)–1618)


EVEN such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who, in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways, 5
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.

thnks
all my best ibrahim

It seems to me the best conclusion based on the evidence. How many others agree?

I keep hearing real life stories like: 17 yr old whose parents took the day off work to take her to a university open day; 15 yr old not allowed to travel from London to Devon by train to visit relatives in case she gets abducted; 18-yr-old whose daddy sorted out his car insurance as he 'didn't know how to'. For goodness sake. It seems like teens get every damn thing done for them (excuse me for sounding old!). They're so molly-coddled that they don't even have the initiative to get themselves from point A to point B on a train! Someone has to take them. When I was a teenager if I wanted to go somewhere I found out the travel details and went! I'd say to my parents 'I've got a university open day/interview/want to see relatives in Devon or whatever' and they'd say 'that's nice dear, have a lovely time'.
Will today's teenagers be able to cope in the workplace, with the lack of initiative and self-responsibility that's being bred in them?

I've just found out that my boss's youngest son was involved in a horrible car wreck last night, and is now on life support and clinically brain dead. He's in the military and stationed in Alaska, so she has to make the long, agonizing plane trick to grant permission to pull the plug and fly his body back to Atlanta for burial. He's only 21 years old and recently served in the Iraq war.

She's such a wonderful & caring person, and this tragic news is absolutely tearing me apart. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers today.

...that man was unaware of his nakedness before his 'eyes were opened and he was shamed.' Is this evidence that at one time man was unaware of himself, much like the animals, and that realizing his 'self' he changed (OMG- I exist phenomenum)? What did he change into? Is he no longer an animal? Or is he still and animal and just confused, lonely, and scared? Maybe the death God infers in Genesis is self-awareness.

God came into being from zero. Now we also say that god is one? God is also called omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient ~ infinite. Thus in the divine mathematics we have to prove that zero = one= infinity. ---------
Now first we take up: one = infinity. But how can the numerical one be equal to infinity? Are they not on the opposite extreme of the number line? The integers are only notional nodes along the number line, which is otherwise a continuum. There is no such thing as fractions. Each fraction represents a point on the number line that is as legitimate as the nodal points: ½ for instance is as much a point on the number line, as, say, 1 or 7. In other words each fraction is in reality an integer.
To understand this, take a sheet of paper, it is a whole: it is 1. Tear it into two halves. Each half is ½. This is only relative. Otherwise, each half is an independent whole a one. How do you know that your original 1 sheet of paper was not one half of something?
