Seriously, just to ruffle feathers? or somewhere deep inside do you doubt you own non-belief.

Do you pay someone or do you shovel yourself?

If I quote this:

"If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell." Matthew 5:30

And everyone says that shouldn't be taken literally, and it's just a metaphor - how do they know that it was intended to be a metaphor?

If we can pick and chose which parts are metaphorical, can't everyone just interpret it how they want?

Can't Jesus, the son of God - just mean Jesus, the nice person?

And can't genesis just be a metaphor for evolution?

Where does the interpretation stop?

If that wanted you to take some parts metaphorically, don't you think they would tell you instead of just stating it literally?

The Bible is far from poetry.

i was a practicing Endowed Elder in the LDS church for almost 20 years. i faithful to the core. i was sleep deprived continuously for 13 years, in and out of the church. The worst poison i ever had to breath was in the baptist church. but the lds church was just as bad. When Bro G judged me to not be a Mormon, i wouldve emailed him right away. i admit that his words hurt me to the wounding of my testimony. i guess he never read any parts of my questions and understood my testimony. So can anyone else who is a mormon hurt me to the wounding of my sould any more than he has?

She is dating a guy, so it needs to be a gift that doesn't reveal how much I like her...

A lot of people say that some of God's laws are outdated for today.... but its God's law? How can the word of God be outdated? He knew what would be comming when He made the law.

If that is true, how come more people do not have their hands chopped off for doing wrong, or their tongues chopped off for speaking against the Bible?

Won't you go to hell if you don't?

When you read The Bible...

1. How do you picture Jesus' personality?

2. How do you picture his voice? Is it calm? Passionate?

3. What is the expression on his face? Is it intense? Peaceful? Is he smiling, or is he serious?

4. In short, who is the Jesus that presents himself to you most of the time? Judge? Friend? Father? Teacher?

Peace be with you.

I want to travel abroad and gain cultural knowledge from other countries, but the peace corps has almost a 2 year commitment to join, I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that will allow me to travel abroad.

PS: I would like the program to have something to do with helping people in other countries, because that's what inspired me to want to join the peace corps..

Many people say Catholics have a different Bible to Christians.

Can you please tell what that Bible is, I thought there was only one Bible, The Holy Bible, so which one do we have?
