I've been a Christian all my life, spent almost every Sunday at church and currently have been going to church for the last 2 years every Friday and Sunday. Lately I've been questioning God although I know I shouldn't. It's just I've been told that I'm to take the bible literally. There's so many unanswered questions that I have been asking but my teachers either give complicated answers or avoid the question in general. If we deserve hell in the first place than why do people in third world countries and millions of people around the world never have a chance to know Jesus Christ, they all go to hell, eternal suffering it makes no sense I would think they would rather not be created in the first place than suffer in hell eternally. Also cavemen and primitive people have been proven to be in existence yet Adam and Eve were supposedly the first to be created. What about dinosaurs, and Noah's Ark? Are we suppose to believe that all the animals in the world were put on a ship and saved?

Does it divide into two souls?
Does that mean that the souls are also identical, not unique?

Or does a second soul get implanted?
If so, how does God determine which twin gets the original soul?

I just saw a question where a guy asked for prayer, and a bunch of atheists wrote stuff like "No" and "God isn't real". I think there should be a section for spirituality and a section for religious debate, so that all the people on both sides who just want to see who is smarter/prove they are right/stroke their pride can have a place to do it away from people who are asking for Christian life advice and prayer. What do you think?

was it because they wanted to explain the science going on around them, or because they wanted to know and tell others what the purpose of life is?

Religions are based on mythology anyway. Spiritual people are usually just superstitious. So the new category could be named Mythology, Superstition, and Folklore.

This seems to be the general idea I see being posted. Does it seem like a great divine plan when over 50% of the people on the chance have no chance to enter heaven? Billions of people throughout history have no knowledge of Christianity.

And through this, 100% of Muslims are hell-bound, (which is like 1.5 billion and not including throughout history), because they are aware of him but do not accept him as the Savior?

That seems....illogical

How about the remainder? People who are aware of him, but part of another religion (that isn't Islam). Why should the Christian God punish them for a cultural value that is instilled in them. Can you really expect a person to just know their religion, which has been around their culture for centuries is wrong, while yours is right?

My girlfriend is in school, she's studying music and needs a pair of decent studio monitors. Would that be a good gift? Or should I go the more traditional route with something that would be less utilitarian?

Two contradicting theories exist to explain the origins of conjoined twins. The older and most generally accepted theory is fission, in which the fertilized egg splits partially. The second theory is fusion, in which a fertilized egg completely separates, but stem cells (which search for similar cells) find like-stem cells on the other twin and fuse the twins together. (from wikipedia on "conjoined twins")

Please explain your answer.

"Marry ONLY in the lord"
1 Cor. 7:39

why do some people follow principles such as the abstinence of blood and idolatry, but yet ignore this principle that is a lot easier to follow

Remember:
"The person faithful in what is least is faithful also in much, and the person unrighteous in what is least is unrighteous also in much" - Luke 16:10

NOTE: I don't claim myself as faithful

This is not criticism of any sort; this is not a claim of atheism being right and niether is is the ranting of a Quran/Bible/Torah thumper but an impartial observation.
I have been a user of Yahoo Answers for some time now and I have noticed an interesting trend. In any religious question, the answers with a cynical/atheist tinge tend to receive the highest "net" thumbs up. The hardcore religious answers tend to get trampled where the thumbs up/down are concerned.
Must be a jagged pill for some folks to swallow but it's true.
What do you think?

I heard on the news this morning that over 200 women have been murdered in Bagdad for not wearing full Islamic dress.

They are apparently abducted off the streets, "horribly" murdered and their bodies dumped in garbage piles.

Isnt it time that we heard some loud Muslim voices condemning this barbarism ?

Are you ashamed of these events?

If so are you able to critisise or is this not allowed?
