The thing is I'm thinking about become agnostic because I feel completly drained out. But before I officially 'change my status' I'd like to get answers to some questions that nobody has ever quite been able to give me a decent answer for, not tricked questions like 'scientists say blabla' it's more about my personal life.
I talked about it with 2 pastors, but they both almost ignored me telling me that I just have to pray more or not to worry everything was going to be fine (not true).
I'm in a foreign country right now and I don't speak the local language well enough to ask local pastors. I know this sounds wierd but is there a chat room somewhere? or even a pastor on Y!A? or just somebody who knows a lot about God and the Bible on Y!A?
Please do not refer me to ultra-conservative christians because it'll just make me even more pissed off than I am right now.

I want to say:
At Christmas, my family and me enjoy ourselves.

Would I say 'En Navidad, mi familia y mí nos gazamos.'
Or is there another way that sounds better?

Thanks!

What jesus an Avatar (Hindu Deity)

Now need to read below what im about to post im just spreading my faith.

(Paragraph 1) Eli intelligently designed us all. God is a cosmic energy field in space some billions of light years away. This cosmic energy field has no beginning nor will it have an ending. This energy field is made up of different types and forms of energy. The energy field is all knowing and for some aspects of its energy is in everything.

(Paragraph 2)Have you heard of the big bang theory? According to the big bang the universe was created between ten billion and 20 billion years ago. This cosmic energy field to whom all praise is due to caused and gave the energy for the big bang. In fact there is evidence of Eli for energy can never be created nor can it be destroyed. Well, this supreme cosmic energy field is God and God is this cosmic energy field in space.

Jesus spoke to his disciples about speaking to the people in parables but Jesus taught his disciples the secrets of heaven, so does this mean there is a hidden meaning to the Bible or was this hidden knowledge kept from the people?

Matthew 13:10-18 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? (11) He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (12) For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. (13) Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. (14) And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: (15) For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. (16) But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. (17) For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. (18) Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

To be a homosexual or to hate homosexuals?

If not, ought there be? The mind of a child is a commodity that will be shaped either by responsible people who give him/her the tools to live well in a civil society-

-or else is the perfect place to infect with toxic doctrine that serves the selfish interests of any destructive individual OR group....

i hear many muslims say that, the person crucified on cross was not real jesus, infact he was a cheat & criminal ( who acted like jesus). Jesus didn't die at all.

Thank God we have been told to follow Christ—not to go ahead of Him. Even in darkness the path is sure. —Mother Teresa

John the Baptist had quite a task. He had to precede Jesus; all we have to do is follow. As Christmas draws near, consider how closely you have been following Jesus. If Christ is the center of your life and the basis of every choice, you’ll find yourself agonizing less and rejoicing that the way has been paved before us.
Stay the path.

Peace Be With You,
Debra
