why , when a Christian tells someone what God has told them out of His word , they act as if the person said it of him self, ?
why dont you grab and torture the mail man or ups man, when he delivers you the mail, and its bad news or hard to face news?

that just makes the bible more and more true, people always hate the messenger , God called me to preach His word, thats my job, either receive it or dont. but i will not be accountable to any of you, please listen ,to Gods word, open your heart and receive the truth, God said faith cometh by hearing, so listen.
will you atleast consider to think about God and ponder and search for yourself if Gods word could be true?

Hello all!

I'm a college student and I will be leading a group of fellow college students on a group abroad next January (2009) to complete two weeks of volunteer work. We haven't chosen the country we will be going to yet, but that is of little matter.

What we really need is some ideas to raise money as a group! We estimate with the airfair most volunteer programs that we've looked at abroad will cost $2,000 or less per a person. Any ideas you could give for raising money would be great! If you've fundraised before, especially at the college level, I'd love to hear from you! If you could provide any weblinks to sites with good ideas, that would be great too.

More information: Our group is comprised of college students at a state university. We are a non religious group (we are part of a service organization).

Thanks!

Alright all you christians out there. I've found a paradox in you beliefs. Here it is:

Jesus was born, preached a way of life, was crucified and rose again. In doing this he absolved all his believers of their sins. Ok, thats a nice story, BUT... Who killed Jesus? Lets say for a moment that it was the Pharisees and the Romans who were responsible. That would mean that none of this was in "gods" plan and that would also mean that it would be impossible for his blood to cleans anybody of their sins. However If GOD was responsible for the death of his own son, outright causing the circumstances of his death. Then the "dying for our sins" part might make a little more sense.

So christians which was it?

God is a loving being?
Or Jesus died for your sins?

Both cannot be true.

People will still ask stupid questions like so what kind of Chinese are you? Japanese? Korean? or Chinese?

Why is America so clueless about East Asians. Do they hate them or what? They love the girls, but seem to love to bash the guys.

As an avowed atheist, I find this guy to be a complete idiot. If you're an atheist, would be offended if some one said merry xmas to you? or any other holiday? I would simply say "happy (insert holiday here)" with a smile. We need more love on this earth not more hate!

Hi there. My son's father (deceased so I cannot ask him!) was not a Jehovah but his family is. My son goes to preschool at a church where they put on a Christmas show. I have NO idea if it is ok to send this video to his Jehovah family or not. The idea is to watch my son, not to offend them. Is it ok to show them the vid? I never know what i can and cannot talk about!

What is life? What is the purpose of human life? Were we really made to live for few years and then die? Was earth, and life on earth, created simply to prove who goes to heaven?

Firstly I am not religious, I am intrigued any question about
religion gets a barrage of abuse. While I appreciate there are parts of religions people would disagree with. As I understand it suicide bombers etc not condoned in islam also regarding stoning are the family of victim allowed to ask for lesser punishment. Regarding Christianity what is wrong with "honour your mother and father" Love your neighbour" etc. Ref Creation vs Evolution. Does it really matter whatever happened its in the past should we not live for now and the future

Christians....I know I'm setting the stage for non-believers and/or racist to get in a jab here but it's worth it just to here the feed back of different Christians.

So heres the question(s)....
Do you believe in generational curses in todays world?
What if Christians marry-both have curses running through family line-how do you deal with that?

Do you suspect that you are dealing with any?
