I heard of a man that was acquainted with a pastor who had been sent to prison for robbing fourteen banks to finance his dalliances with prostitutes! The man was fully convinced the bank-robbing Lothario was a true Christian, was he?

On of my relatives has a pet gecko, and I'm not sure what to get him for Christmas. I have already bought my cats some Christmas stockings, so I don't want the gecko to feel left out.

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection." (Heb 6:1.)

If a man leaves the principles of the doctrine of Christ, how can he be saved in the principles? Isn't this a contradiction? I can't believe that by leaving the doctrine of Christ we can move on to perfection.

Shouldn't it be rendered: "Therefore NOT leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection"?

as a Christian I dont' think God needs a beginning because I believe he has always been here.

Do you believe that about the universe?

My time here has been short lived and fruitful, but the time for me to move on has come. I can no longer stomach the hate I see too often and realistically, I must re-focus my energy on more positive applications.

Those of you I've met and grown to know, and you know who you are, will forever hold a special place in my heart, so spiritually speaking, what is the best way to say goodbye?

Hey I heard that this was a book and the book was written for Atheist children as a bedtime story and that it's about killing God. Is this true? I haven't read the book and thought it looked like a cool move.

Lets hear answers form 'senior citizens' to this one.

2007-12-07 02:54:45 · 25 answers · asked by Anonymous in Senior Citizens

I am aware of biblical verses that support a view that an ensouled human being exists before birth, but not of anything that logically requires that to apply at conception -- a traditional interpretation, that these refer to the fetus after the quickening, seems to be a natural reading of these verses.

But current Christian thinking -- at least for Catholicism and many U.S. Christian churches -- has moved away from that view, and now teaches that human life, with soul, begins at conception.

Is there unambiguous textual support in the Christian bible for this view? NOTE: verses referring to the physical assembly of the body do not count, as the distinction I am interested in is precisely between the doctrines (1) that God created the body from conception, and ensouled it at some later point, and (2) that God created a fully ensouled body at conception.

Again, I am specifically asking about the *soul at conception* part of the doctrine, not the *during pregnancy* part.

I am spiritual and not Religious.
My Mother is Muslim
My Father is Christian

The other day I attended a mosque for first time, out of curiosity.
And I struck up a conversation with a nice lady and thought I will sit with her.
I ask when does prayer start and she Replied that it already had.
I was like I can not hear any thing So i left the tiny room with a rickety door and walked past all males and Quietly sat in the front row.(it had the most available space)
And after 1min all was silent and a weirdo looking male spoke to me in I think was Arabic.He wouldn't shut up and stop his chanting at me.and I just smiled and hoped that the creepy man would just shut up and resume praying.They(the males) seemed easily distressed by my presence.(Weak)

Has this ever happened to you or seen this happen to someone?WHAT GIVES

I know what I am getting everyone for Christmas, but my fiance wants me to give him a list of things that I want... and I cant think of things, maybe you can help me.
Preferably for under $75.

My family and I have been attending our church for about 5 years and we all feel very blessed and fortunate to be involved in a church that is SO filled with love and acceptance. I feel comfortable there and truly at home. My pastor has asked me on a couple different occasions to give my testimony, because he believes that my testimony is one worth hearing and could help a lot of people come to Christ. My problem is this...I am absolutely terrified to stand in front of our congregation and give my testimony. What makes my testimony so extraordinary is the many things I have overcome in my life. These things are things that I have always kept very private, sharing most of them with only 2 people in my life. My pastor and my husband. Digging up old feelings, trials and pain would be extremely hard for me and I don't know if I could get through it without completely breaking down. Anyone who knows me would be shocked to hear my story. I don't know if I want to open myself up in that way.

Where did that first piece of matter come from, if not God? Where did the energy come from that caused the bang? Where did the space come from that the bang expanded into?

I say it's a load of Big Bunk!
