I would. I watch Flip This House on T.V all the time. I think it would be fun and a great creative outlet and hopefully a money maker. Sometimes they have and update on a ''flip'' and we see that the flippers have not made as much money as they thought they would. Still I would like to do it.

is an atheist[or anything really] and has been for a long time, but they find they want to convert to Christianity, but they are too afraid of what people think?? This would be awesome if you could tell me a book like this!! I have a friend that's an atheist and he told me that he actually wanted to believe in Christianity, but he feels like he's been too deep into atheism to get himself out.

THANK YOU!!!

Hey, not trying to start a huge argument or bashing session here, though I think it will happen anyway. I'm just posting to get your thoughts on the way Christians are looked upon today. As it is the Christmas season I have been hearing loads of stuff on the news about people wanting to stop schools from mentioning God or having anything to do with Jesus in their decorations and songs. As well as for workers to keep any religious decorations off their desks (One man had to remove his Bible from his drawer) I also rarely ever get wished a Merry Christmas anymore (since its politically incorrect) and am watching nativity scence's be vandalized (baby Jesus being replaced with a pigs head) Its funny to me since I'm only 20 to see how much things have changed from when I was a child. Its become so wrong to have anything to do with Christ since it seems to be disrespecting so many people. It really bothers me to see that everyone else has the right to do away with religious (Christian) theme

I've often gotten the comment we're sexist, being a feminist myself, this is a hard topic for me to deal with due to the fact you have to dig deeper than the surface to understand how we are not sexist, which takes too long to explain to someone who does not understand, and even the simple logic behind it often alludes a lot of people. Waht do you say when you get this comment? or do you say anythign?

Heaven is allot easier to understand. Life is a test and those that past the test are rewarded with eternal happiness in heaven. Its easy to understand because God is supposedly loving and merciful. But why hell? You dont do what I say you`re gonna burn? Seems like God is petty. Does he send people to hell to show how macho he is. The more appropiate punishment would be for people to cease to exist.

Respondents were also asked to rate reasons for giving aid, as well as forms of aid, on a zero-to-ten scale, with zero being completely negative, 10 being completely positive, and 5 being neutral. The most popular reason for giving aid was to "alleviate hunger", which received a mean score of 7.71, with 77 percent giving a response of 6 or higher.

I am curious as to what Christians believe is the reason, that God has 'done' all of this?
What is His purpose in 'creating a universe, and planets?
What is His purpose for 'creating ' Earth?
And finally, what is His purpose for 'creating' us?
At best we are rebellious, and don't listen to Him, so what does He get out of all of this?
AND why did he 'do all of this,' and then leave us on our own, to guess, and to try to figure things out for ourselves ,and end up asking questions like this one?
I don't believe he just got the urge to ''have a family'', so,please. help me understand, Why he did '' DO all this''??
Thank You.

The Bible tells us clearly that only sinless and righteous people will go to Heaven. No sinner will ever be alowed there!

Why was Jesus who was sinless had to be babtised by John the Babtist, and who was John the Babtist and how did he fit into Gods plan of our redemtion from the sins of the world?

Jesus taught his 12 disciples that, if they forgave sins, then the sins would be forgiven, but that if they did not forgive sins, then the sins would not be forgiven.

Jesus also taught that, if we forgive sins committed against us, then our Father in heaven will forgive us our sins.

Why then do some still teach that only God can forgive sins?

I did go to college and have a BA. I have several friends who have Master's in one area or the other and because of this they put on airs. Like when you are in conversation with them they try to make people feel less worthy because they have a Master's. And will say well I have a Master's in whatever so of course I know what I am talking about. I always come back with yea but why you were in school I was getting a Master's in life and living. I am sometimes embrassed by the things they say in public because they are not being nice and are putting people down. What should I say to them to stop this?

How is it that one denomination can quote bible verses to fit its view of things, and another denomination can quote other bible verses to disprove the first group and enforce its own view?

Yet both groups will insist that the bible contains no contradictions. What's up with that?

Ok, so I am a nonbeliever. But, since Christians seem to care so much about people's sexuality, I would like you to take a look at this very recent post and please answer him if you can find it in your heart to say something nice and not be condeming.....
This concerns a boy who has learned he is gay and because his mother and his church are so against homosexuality, he has decided to end his life instead. While many of these type posts are merely seeking attention, he does not appear to have that mindset. His previous questions have mentioned his homosexuality and how much he feels like God hates him.
This is why I am so against Christians preaching on this subject.....but as for now, I would simply ask that you leave good, loving messages to him. Thanks in advance!!

Note : The 1st pope is Peter and down the line to the current pope, each pope can be traced and accounted for.

Without God's power, it wouldn't be able to sustain this long, let alone to remain in unity. Today u can attend any mass, in any part of the world, the missal readings and worship are the same.

On the contrary, the protestant churches disagree among themselves, divide and there is simply no unity among themselves. All vie for glory of God as true gospel carriers.

In the bible its important to note, false preacher come and lead their followers to doom.

If God is Just and a God of Love, would he torture us for eternity?

2007-12-21 16:51:23 · 34 answers · asked by Believer In God 3 in Religion & Spirituality

I see a lot of questions that amount to "why can't we all just respect each other's beliefs", i.e., not question them and pretend they are reasonable even when we don't think they are.

If we all actually did take such an approach, there would be no exchange of ideas. We would all just be eternally stuck wherever we started.

I don't see why that is considered by some to be a good idea.
