isn't beleiving in god, the holy spirt and his son (jesus) the fudamentals for Christianity? the trinity?
If Jesus is god's son, why do say they Jesus is the human form of god? And god is god, so how can he have a family? A son? a Mother? The purpose of family in the life is support. God having family, wouldn't that be association with god? Isn't god above everything else? How does the immaculate conception of Mary lead to Jesus being called his son? And why is the holy spirit seperate to that of God? How can it exist alongside God? God is God. I mean so what's with the holy spirit?

What do you mean by the words 'soul-searching' and how do you do it properly? What are you searching for?
This question has nothing to do with whether or not 'soul' is a reality, (although I suspect many of your answers will provide evidence of its existence), and everything to do with the process, meaning, and value of it for you. I've noticed that many of your answers are actually confessions in the truest form of the word. (you know who you are)
Is soul-searching a time of reckoning? Is soul-searching like 'balancing the books' at the end of the month to see if you're in the red or the black? Or is it literally trying to find your own soul?

i don't think i've read one response here from someone who says they have studied evolution and they still deny it, that doesn't go something like, "i've studied evolution and i think it's crap." that's all i read though. no explanations why. just simply that they think it's crap. so, to those who have studied evolution and still think it's "crap", care to elaborate why you think so?

If it is drummed into them as a child and they are living in a closed, narrow minded community, it must take strength and intelligence to question things if you're bombarded with it constantly.

My husband and I both just lost our jobs due to the business closing down with no warning. We have 2 boys ages 10 and 9 and a 7 y/o girl. We have a very high heating bill so all of the money we get has to go to pay on that. We live in Wayne County Illinois and if anyone would like to help us with Christmas presents or knows of a place that might help please email me @ mommyredneckgirl@yahoo.com
I hate doing this but this is not a good year. Thank you. Merry Christmas everyone. God Bless.

Do you tell your children Santa is real?
That He won't bring presents if they are naughty?
That you have to leave Him milk and cookies?
Or is everyone I see doing this a Pagan???

I've actually heard this time before but I know for some it could mean retarded or disabled in some other way but what does it mean to you?

On second thought I also hate the word, "slow" because it's a broad, derogatory term that could mean anyone of various abilities or disabilities.

I recently asked a question about prayer, and several people who answered signed off with "descriptive word, like *patient* prayer warrior". What does that mean? Are they all part of some kind of prayer group? Is that a known expression? I'm a Christian, but I've never heard of it before. Thank you for answering!

Or do they marvel at the miracles of god when the bus does not crash through the ice and the children are saved, are unharmed and go home to thankful parents?

What constitutes a miracle? Are there good, and bad, miracles? If so, is that a contradiction in terms?

I'm of the Christian faith, I feel I believe in a GOD, "Higher Power" but why then I ask, are there so, so many different religions, and with so many, how could one ever really tell, which one is on the right track to ensure your going to go to heaven when you die...? Religions like Catholic, Baptist, Johova Vitness, Jewish, Roman's, Prodistant, (sorry about the spelling's), and so many others to choose from?

...and that it would take "time" to be accepted. Well, this isn't a chat room, and i am NOT doing anything wrong by posting questions. My question for this oh-so sensative group is, was that person accurate? Is this a group setting? Will I or any younger person get reported if we post a question that is against your delicate sensibilities (or you simply don't agree with it!)?

I usually wear a t-shirt and panties. I like going to bed wearing nothing but not this time of year. :)

Where did 'God' come from? Did he just poof! Appear? What?

I have my opinion. I just want to know what your back up statement for that is.

We have about 18 more days in 2007. Was this a rough year for you or a peaceful one? That is, in regard to finances, kids, possessions, health, deaths, etc.

How do you feel about being held accountable for the people you've pulled away from God and that their blood will be on your hands?

IT sounds like Too shay, but how do you really spell it and what does it mean?

You can hear this in Stardust when Christian defeats his friend (I cant remember his friends name) in the witches house?

What would you be asking Santa for Christmas?

Think back on all the great things you've gotten, what would you ask for now, given all the neat stuff that is available that wasn't when some people were little.

Me, I'd want a truck load of Barbie's, the first one that was made. Today, she's worth a small fortune. I'd also like a snowboard (can't do that now, I'd break something important).

something your mom or dad kept or used that was only theirs. My Dad had one chair at the kitchen table and if he walked in you got up he never said anything but we always moved. Or my mom always had so many plants in the house dad used to say if she brought one more in he was divorcing her.
