I have been coming here for almost a year and the nicest thing someone called me was the "Socrates of R&S" (I have to admit that I blushed a bit) and the worst thing I have been called was an "Idiot." I hope the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

How about you?

for hours? I wanted to know what people think about Astrology and Christianity. Are they compatible belief systems? I ask five people, and get five different answers.

This isn't meant to be sarcastic. It's just something that I was curious about and I don't know if it's been asked before.

I know that some of you are familiar with the bible. If you noticed things taking place that rang true of scriptural prophesies of the last days, would it make you rethink your beliefs?

Christmas, Hannukah, Ramadan, Atheistmas or Agnostica? Or something else?

i know this is a really dumb question, but i always think about it. why can't everyone just be healthy and die from old age. why are there these horrible things that people have to suffer through and be miserable. i would love to hear any opinions on this, thanks

there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. 21I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.

I am picking the Eskimo - (Inuit) people

No war in centruries

Haven't changes their lifestyle in 1000's of yrs

No jails no courts no politicans no lawyers no police etc

Follow the Polar Bear fish and build an igloo - worship the Northern lights and go to bed -

That is who I would pick if I were god and wanted a people to be representive of how I wanted people to live

And you ?

The Virgin’s Child

Trembling on the edge of a miracle
The whole world holds its breath
For a virgin holds within her
womb
Our deliverance from death

In a tiny town called Bethlehem
There walks an anxious man
He leads a tiny donkey
On it's back is God's Wondrous
Plan

He trudges through the crowded
streets
Looking weary and forlorn
Till he finds a humble stable
Where the virgin's Child is born

Behold, the sky is filled with
angels
Men's hearts quiver at the sight
Now hear the glorious
proclamation
You shepherds who watch in the
night

"Fear not, oh simple shepherds
For the virgin has given birth
We bring you tidings of great joy
And peace to men on earth"

The Magi come to worship Him
Heaven's King, foretold
To honor Him with gifts of myrrh
And frankincense, and gold

Following a star bright as
morning
To the feet of the virgin's Son
They come from the mystic Orient
To worship the Promised One

He was born amongst the animals
Like the sacrifice He was to be
Though the world could barely
make Him room
He came to change our destiny

To a world that hardly seemed to
care
God's Greatest Gift was given
His Word was fulfilled, His
Promise kept
He sent us the Treasure of Heaven

He is standing and knocking at the
door
Oh, don't leave Him outside
Make room in your heart for the
virgin's Child
On this joyous Christmastide

I am paraphrasing, since I can't remember the entire quote: "Christianity seems like a bunch of well meaning rules that don't really work in real life."

Do you think that is true? If you had an experience with this, how did you overcome feeling this way?

Why are atheism, agnosticism, and the various pagan religions growing at such an astounding rate? People are leaving the major religions in droves. Have these people realized something important about spirituality?

I have never had a Christmas tree before. My parents were JW's so I didn't have one when I was a kid. I have seen them in stores, but I never put one together before. What in the heck are they supposed to look like? I don't have all the packages under there like at the department store. I don't have all those round shiny things either. I just have a tree and some lights. Now what? I put some candy canes on there, but it looks kind of like, I don't know, it just well, it's white for one thing, and all the lights are blue. Okay? I confess, I don't know how to do something. How do I make this look good? Also, believe it or not, my very Catholic wife put out a nativity scene with the figures that are about five inches tall right next to my Hot Wheels. Dangit, you don't think the baby Jesus will go for a spin in my 1970 green and white Plymouth Roadrunner, do you? I don't get this Christmas display stuff. Explain it to me. Please?

Before the year 1054AD there was only one church, which was referred to as the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church consisting of the 5 patriarchs (Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria). The Great Schism happened between the West (Church of Rome) and the East (Churches of the East) in the year 1054. The main reason for this schism was a dispute with the filoque doctrine (the Holy Ghost proceding from the Father and the Son), which the churches of the east refuted and the Papal Supremacy doctrine (the Patriarch of Rome having full and supreme jurisdiction over the Church of Rome and the Churches of the East). The Church of Rome considers the churches of the east(Orthodox Church) to be schismatics. The Orthodox Church considers the Church of Rome to be schismatic. I'm trying to search for the truth. Both sides trace their lineage of bishops directly to the Twelve Apostles, then to Jesus Christ, the founder, the one true God made man.

wat is up with that??

and how come im learning so much in school about white people and chinese people and maybe even native people but you never hear anything about kingdoms in africa outside of egypt and kush? did black people not have kingdoms? it seems like evry other group or race has a kingdom or a legacy to live up to but i never hear nothing about black african kingdoms. i asked my teacher about it and he just said their was nothing in africa at the time. like it was just a bunch of people chasing eachother around with sticks and not contributing to history in any way. how come i gotta take a special class just to find out about what happened south of the sahara but any regular class will tell me all about ancient china and mid-evil times? i know slavery erased most of our history but can i at least have a clue??? some of us still care you know!!!

Christians - Do you hate your family and your life?

Bible (King James Version)

Let me quote Luke 14: 26-[If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.]

Let’s state a ground rule here that “hate” does not mean “less love”.

So, do you Christians hate your life and your families? It seems that if you want to follow Christ you have to hate your families and your life. It says it plain as day!

I know that these problems were not discussed in Sunday school.

So, I know it will take awhile to come-up with the “answers”. Consult your clergy if you like. I await your answers.
