How do Christians know how to behave?
What about other people like the Pope and M.L. King?

If your parents discipline you as a Child do they do it out of Hate or Love? If we are a just nation if someone steals from another, harms them kills them do we punish them? YES..

If God did not punish sinners why woould they of ever tried to change thier eveil ways?

How can you know/ how to learn and be good if you are not punished?

Jesus paid the ultimate punishment for mankind so we did not have to die in vain isn't that the most loving thing GOD has done? I think so...

Job Interview
While being interviewed for a job, the personnel manager said to the Maguire brothers:

'We're going to give you a written examination. Ten questions. Whoever gets most right we'll hire.'

Papers were produced and the boys set to work answering the general knowledge questions. When the time was up the personnel manager collected and marked the papers.

'Well,' said he, 'you've both got nine out often, but I'm giving Mick the job.'

'Why's that?' asked Pat.

'Well,' said the manager, 'you both got the same question wrong but he had

'I don't know this' and you had 'Neither do I!'.

Jesus Christ is to known to Jews, Christians and Muslims as a Man who came to earth to save humanity even though many Jews thisnk Jesus was a Decent Jewish Man, Muslims think he was one of GOD's prophets and Christians believe he is the only Son of the one true Living GOD the Saviour of Mankind.

However many Indian Cultures and ancient people that had pagan rituals of worship speak of a bearded man a GOD Man

My question is do you think many people could be worshipping Jesus Christ in Pagan Cultures, even though they don't understand the Jesus that came through the Jews and is in the Holy Scriptures?

I normally sent all my friends gift cards or cash 20-25 USD and a card Is this wrong? I have friends all around the worlds so with converstion its sometimes more sometimes less but it pretty much speand the same. I'm very busy with my job and dont aways have time to shop. plus shippisg very expensive when you send to as many people as i do, plus the friends outside the states are even more expensive to ship packages. so should i just sent a card or keep sending cash and a card?

Anybody else recognize the inherent problem here? THAT is not a god of goodness or benevolence. It is a god of revenge.
And does anything else other than something of pure goodness and benevolence warrant worship?

I resently lost a noticeable amount of weight. Every time I attend a family gathering my reletives say out loud where everyone can hear, "You look great you've gotten skinny!" or something like that. I think it is rude because I don't like to talk about my weight in public. I don't want the focus to be on how much I weigh or what I look like in a dress. I don't like to have everyone looking at me! What should I do? Do you agree that it is rude? The worst part is they use the excuse that they are giving me compliments! I don't care if it's compliments I think it is a personal issue!

In order to be fluent in another language, do you have to know every single word of that language? To me that doesn't seem reasonable because there are some english words that I don't even know. How many words should one know of a foreign language to be consided fluent? If you can carry on a conversation with a local, does that mean you are fluent?

Ok, I know that churches don't have to pay things like property taxes on their land. I'm not sure what the laws are on other places of worship of differing religions but.... going on the assumption that places of worship can render their lands property tax free, If I were to turn part of my house into a place of Pagan worship, could I in fact take that area out of my property tax legally? Anyone know?

exactly what does that make everyone else? I mean wiccan kids can't wear thier pents to school, gays can't marry, several on these boards think atheist shouldn't be allowed to have a winter holiday and atheist aren't allowed to hold office in several states. Christians are 80% of the population. So if THEY are persecuted....what does that make the people the Christians are persecuting?

"...A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet," (Joseph Smith, HC, vol. 6:408-409).
