Society & Culture - 22 December 2007

Those who have never heard the gospel will be given justice. People don't go to hell primarily "because they don't believe in Jesus" but rather because they have sinned against God. If they have lied, stolen, murdered, committed adultery, etc., God will punish them -- not because of their ignorance, but because they have sinned despite the light God gave them via their conscience. If you really care about those who haven’t heard about Jesus, take the Gospel to them and tell them how they may be forgiven and be saved from Hell.

What's wrong with saying Merry Christmas? why is it so wrong to say it when we can say Happy Valentines, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah etc. Whatever happend to freedom of speech? or freedom of expression? Christans can't express their freedom of speech where they work, but yet witchs can?
I thought racisim was bad. Well banning people to say Merry Christmas and taking prayer and God out of schools is just as bad, and I believe it's an act of racism.

I don't mean to step on anyones feet. it's just please someone tell me how this is fair to Christians?

Everyone plz give me your own definition of "haram"...thanks

I define "haram" like this...
Haram is something that...
1.makes you forget about Allah,
2.takes you away from his path,
3.makes you forget about the real life(hereafter)
4.makes you feel that this worldly life is so beautiful

Allah said in The Quran " i only created Jinn and man to worship me"
so, i believe things like " love"(attraction to the opposite gender) is haram too(including loving your own wife/husband).Because it wil never benifit me in the hereafter,since its not a form of worship.And it makes you forget about Allah and hereafter.Noone is worthy of getting more attention then Allah!

(non-muslims, plz dont answer this question, thanks)

Instead of using this space to exchange ideas, many attack irrationally. Do they do this in their daily conversations in person, or do they reserve it for the Internet?
Does this reflect the state of society, in general?

It seems that "christian" is the religion, so why are there so many...protestant, adventist, lutheran, presbyterian, catholic, roman catholic...?

Thought I would ask this as my day (well the last 28 hours or so) has been extremely enlightening and have had many things confirmed so I'm feeling a great deal happier especially now destiny and karma are going hand in hand :)

My Kitchen window above the sink is directly in line with theirs only 8 feet away.
They perform EVERY imaginable act in front of the window at all hours, day and night.
They must know we can see them, and they don't seem to care.My other neighbors make excuses to come over to see if any "action" is going on.
What would you do, if anything?

Why did you help the zionist brits to free it from the turkish masters? Now how can you claim ownership on these lands? Turks controlled these lands before us and they don't want the lands back, so who are you to protect the rights of palestinians?

Are there any items that you use when giving a reiki treatment, such as music, candles, etc.? My sister is working towards becoming a reiki master, and for Christmas I wanted to get her some things to help when she does her sessions. Any suggestions would be great!

I know it says in the Bible in she is raped in the country it isn't her fault! Just because more people live in the city nowadays, I think it is unfair to always blame the woman too. In the rural areas there isn't always enough men around to hear her if she cries for help. I don't like it when women are always blamed. Sorry for venting but it makes me frustrated.

Looking for something for the relatives to read when they come over for Christmas. My GF is a neat freak and I don't want to ask everybody to take off their shoes.

there are too many for me to count. My grandmother on my dad's side is unique (for lack of a better word). A few years ago she bought me her favorite wrapping paper so I could wrap her gift (the one I was supposed to get her).
The same year she boosted a "breast augmentation" pamphlet and dvd from a plastic surgeon's office and gave it to my sister. Then she gave my brother an "United States Navy" enlistment information.

I wish I could make this stuff up...

For example: "Sly Fox" -I think from Brazil - just commented "someone just thumbed me down"

My question: What are some such expressions that you have noticed and liked?

idk why but i like the gothic ways. i always have since i was like 5 but my parents think everything is demonic and it drives me crazy cuz im a christian, not into anything satanic and i know christians can be gothic but they think christians must be that perfect, normallly subtle dressed people or else preps. i hate it and its not like i want to dress slutty or immodest or anything, just dark. i also love God alot and think that he looks on the inside instead of our appearance. HELP!!

This is a serious question. How would you 'define' God? I know what/who God is, that isn't what I am looking for...I guess I am looking to know what is God to you? Please try NOT to bash guys. I appreciate all serious answers.

- Why did God agree?
- And people in other lands never heard of Christ at that time.
- It is a gruesome story. It brings to mind human sacrifice to pacify gods, practiced earlier societies.The Incas sacrificed their children, and so did Abraham, nearly.

Not everyone's life is crap by any means, but why in general is life such a drab place where things are so harsh and cynical and not at all like you see in what the movies, music, etc want you to see? Is this some sort of a hell-satanic controlled realm or something? I mean all the believers aside, we have absolutely 0 proof that a higher power exists here, none whatsoever, we also have MANY physical limitations and diseases that could develop. We have BILLIONS of other people to put up with, a life full of sham/hardships/keeping up with the joneses, which the marketing/media industries are trying to get through our heads, and work work work,everything being about money, planning for retirement etc.

Life is a whole PLAN, only so you get old and die anyways.

If you're beautiful you MAY get lucky and get a great boyfriend/girlfriend and have a better sex life, otherwise you have sex with prostitutes and porn.

Why must life be so.....I don't even have the word. Disappointing?
