why do you have so many denominations and not be united like those Jesus- era -church.You may answer me that even though u r divided everything boils down to The Bible.But why?so may divisions including RC(mormons).Haven"y you heard that Mother mary apperared to some children.now according to the Bible a dead person cannot come.o.k.,but she appeared to some children for a longer time.Dont say thats a satan.then how would u know if Jesus appear to you whether its Jesus or Satan acting as Jesus.HOW?Again dont tell me u know it by The Holy spirit.if so,r u taking every decision thru the holy spirit.Couldn"t possibly be!I know that those who say they r true christian and could feel Jesus" presence daily has a mystery over their head about this concept.Am i right?If u a really religious why do u watch those violent showing tv,use that vulgar 666 numbered web,or any other of that sort.Can u Answer me? I KNOW NOBODY can give me a convincing answer.all you can do is scold me thru u r answer.

The Sixth Commandment says: Thou shalt not kill.
And yet there are multiple passages in the Bible which claims to be the teachings of God where the believer is told to go out and KILL people left and right. This includes their parents, brothers, sisters, wives, children and neighbors for various offenses against God. How can He have it both ways? Shall we kill according to His law or not kill according to His commandments? God is supposed to be kind and loving. It sounds like these teachings in the Bible are far from kind and loving, but rather dictatorial and cruel, not to mention violent. What's going on? How do we interpret "Thou shall not kill !" and "Each man strap a sword to his side. Go through the camp, each killing his brother, friend and neighbor." Exodus 32:27-28.

I am NOT a Pagan (I am against witchcraft) so I do NOT celebrate Christmas. It makes me mad that other Christians do and pretend like it has anything to do with our LORD and savior when in reality it was just Christianity adopting to Paganism and this is WRONG. But Christians either pretend like thats not true or they don't care because they are greedy and want gifts. It makes me mad. Does it make you mad too Pagans???

. But did you know, YOU have a choice of whether or not Scholastic is in your school? There are many good Children’s book clubs out there other than Scholastic that they can be replaced with. Groups that offer books that are entertaining, loved by children and at the same time do not advocate such twisted views of parents and God as does the Golden Compass series, better know as “his dark materials” That name in itself should have been a warning sign to those who care for their children. If this is what Scholastic wishes to promote, that’s their choice, but so is who I give my money to, that will say a lot, are they in it for the children or just to make a quick buck. My guess is the latter. It is up to YOU the parent to clean house. Are you going to do your part?

This farmer has 500 hens but no rooster so he goes to his neighbor and asks him if he could buy a rooster for $100.

The neighbor says, "You can have this rooster. His name's Roy. He'll get all your hens pregnant. He's a real stud."

So the farmer takes him home and says, "It's your first day so take it slow, okay?"

The farmer puts Roy in the hen house and then hears all the hens crying and yelling. Roy nailed every one of those hens and then nailed a duck and a goose at a pond.

The next morning the farmer finds Roy lying dead with his legs sticking in the air and buzzards circling overhead.

The farmer says, "Roy, did you have to die?"

Roy says, "Quiet! They're about to land!"

Asking me how God begain is NOT an answer it is obviously dodging the question and I'll assume you don't have an answer for my question if you do that.

As a Christian I believe that God has always been here. Do you believe that there was just a cell always here and one day it started evolving??? Otherwise where did everything come from?

Please I am trying to understand, don't attack me.

I do not believe that a true Christian should celebrate Christmas. It is just a pagan holiday dressed up in sparkles and tinsel to lead God's followers astray. Christians how can you celebrate this witchcraft and pretend it is about the birth of our savior?

I am really pissed at life.

Someone just left me a comment on my UTube profile calling me a "f***ing f*g".

I don't even know where that came from.

This is just one of the MANY things that leave me broken.

Also, road bullies are rampant - I can't stand driving on the road. The office is full of users - the world is even full of haters and inconsiderate people.

Sometimes I wonder how some people could have that tough "shell" around them and not get bothered with these things. Or is it because the more materialistic the world gets, the less compassion is shown?

I just hate this life. The people can make or break my life. Whether they know it or not - it hurts like hell and that makes me not want to go with the world - makes me feel even more of an outsider than I already am.

I am asking if there are online publications or a website for organizations that track or document revivals or major moves of God around the globe.

I hear about the moves of God from others by word of mouth, but I am interested in going to the source of the info.

I am presently a missionary in the Philippines that is working with a nation-wide church planting organization.

I have heard there was a move of God in the south of India, in Nigeria and in Venezuela in the past 10-15 years, but I wanted to get more up to date information.

Why you insist that Jesus alone is God.BUt if we say that all those idols we worship as God u wouldn"t accept it and say they"re all satan behind.But those Bible verses has been written for those days where baal and such idols were worshipped and how can they suit today.Again how can you say that those idols don"t have power.You ask us that whether we have seen our God"s and by all means i ask you,"Have you seen Jesus lately?i guess you dont have an answer to this question.He is not at all doing any miracles.we too have our religious books and it has been said that Our Gods too have perfoemed many miracle sna dthey themselves have declared that they are Gods.Why not there be a lot of Kingdoms of Gods on the heaven including those Aliens kingdoms.Dont you think that the aliens might have acted like a Jesus or Even as our Gods?O.k then,Do you think that all those pators having big ministries are really pure and spend their money only for ministrie"s welfare. .waiting 4 ur reply.
