Society & Culture - 10 December 2007

We have Harry Potter and The Golden Compass topping the Christian Community's fiction hit list. Why is that? How do religious folks have a problem separating fiction from faith (even if some would say that faith is fiction, but that's a different question for a different topic)? Is it a control issue (thought control, belief control, "don't think outside the Christian box control)? I'm very interested on hearing thoughs from all angles. If I offended you, then my work is done. At least you're thinking about it. :)

through people, through your own understanding, or through the understanding of others.

Satan can quote scriptures, right? it's in the bible, you can't deny it.

Bold outward sin is everywhere but the sin that is in church leadership is smooth. This could be anyone who thinks without the living word of GOD. Often we make rules twist the word to fit our evil schemes for greed. Branch Davidian sect near Waco, Texas, a cult that twisted the true God to fit their needs. What about the ones that are so close to the truth man you can't tell the difference but GOD knows.

by an ex-gf. We share children and have been good friends for 15 years. My inclination is to keep that side of things out of it and to write it as if I'd just been friends with her for 15 years. What do you guys think. Should I mention the relationship or not?

Galahad encounters many tests to illustrate his purity. These include the pulling of the sword from the stone, the gaining of his shield, and the entering of the ship. What Christian symbolism is involved in these tests or encounters, and for what purpose and by whom was the ship made?

God=7154=26=8=h
Most High=131519208978=54=9=i
God Most High=h+i=8+9=17=8=h
Jehovah=1058152218=33=6
so
GOD=GOD MOST HIGH=h
GOD JEHOVAH=...=e

so Jehovah is not the Most High.
and
God Jehovah is not GOD Most High!

no matter what
Jehovah's Witnesses say of do. Unless of course they intend to utterly destroy the english language.
as a side note:

God Most High=God Named within WAR=H

whats the witnesses response to that?

Well, if zombies existed, would they be able to sneeze?
And if your wondering, what type of zombie?( some movies or books tell about a dead body being posessed by a soul and coming alive turning it into a zombie, but im talking about humans that were infected with a virus and slowly became zombies like resident evil or 28 days later ) The type of zombie that was infected by virus, and spreads the virus through biting.

For the benefit of Christians who are afraid of non believers would you give your views on natural law and ethics.

A lot of people, at some point in their life experience some kind of supernatural encounter. Tell you stories if you have, or tell me why you don't believe in ghosts.

Referring to witchcraft and Pagan related magic.

Do any modern day religions believe in magic?

And if they do, what does it usually involve? Is it like potions and spells and such or something different?

What is "magick" and how is it different?

well people at my church have asked me to present a science experiment thingy and correlate it somehow to the bible

for example, a couple of years ago some other guy at church did this thing where he had 3 eggs and 3 cups. He put a different substance in each cup which made each egg float differently. One egg was on the bottom, middle, and top.

As for the bible part, he explained that God wants us to be either warm or cold but not lukewarm.

and ive been thinking about this foreverrrrr and have come up with absolutely nothing )=

sooo it would be pretty awesome if one of yall could help me think of something

thanks again=)

I really hate this...I am constantly stuck in religious thoughts...whenever I have a few minutes to myself when I'm not working, being with my family, etc., my thoughts always go back to religion. It seems I have been obsessed with religion ever since I was about 21...I'm 29 now...I go through constant phases of being a devout Christian and then go through believing in forms of Paganism as well as switching to Agnosticism and even Atheism at times and then reverting back to Christianity...This is just driving me crazy! It's just a never-ending cycle and I don't know what to do anymore. It just feels like I'm trapped and there is no escape. This is the truth that has set me free??? I don't think so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
