I am dating a Christian man who has been separated from his wife for 10 years. His wife lives in Europe, and he hasn't seen her for years. After we started dating, he made the decision to finally get a divorce. They were married for only 5 years and have no kids together.
I am a Christian, and my parents are very religious. My dad told me that I am an adulteress because I am dating a married man. It doesn't matter to him that my boyfriend is almost divorced to a woman who lives in a foreign country and he hasn't seen in almost a decade. I'm not even having sex with him because I won't do that until I am married.
Is my dad over reacting or is he right? Am I really committing adultery?

If I told you that approximately 2000 years ago, people were raised from the dead, you would probably say it was true.
If I told you sometime in the future people would be raised from the dead, you would most likely say it was true.
So why if I told you that I saw people raised from the dead last night the first thing you would ask would probably be the name of the mental hospital I escaped from?

"Father, how am I going to tell my husband that I am still a virgin?"

"My child, you have been a married woman for many years. You have had three husbands! Surely that cannot be."

"Well, father, my first husband was a psychologist, and all he wanted to do was talk, and the next one was in construction and he always said he'd get to it tomorrow. The last one was a gynecologist and all he did was look. But this time, father, I'm marrying a lawyer and I'm sure I'm going to get sc***ed."

Christians quote this verse and say that the only way to salvation is Jesus. The verse - John 14:6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"

Then what about the people that were born and died before Jesus's time, do they never get a chance for
salvation ?

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
-Mark 16:16-18.

...i wonder if there is any written facts or writings about how the apostles died and why is it not written or included in any of the teaching or writings of their own, i mean one of the postle or the last apostle standing on that time before he died might have written how his fellow apostle suffered or persecuted or died.

How about instead of worshiping cars, money, things, houses, stuff, and god, we worship each other ??

God is pictured in most religions as a wise all knowing, benevolent, loving, humble, deity, BUT he wants us to bow at his feet ? and grovel before him?

I do not think so

Worship each other

The world needs The Church of Each Other above all else.

Atheist and Agnostics will also please reply only if you will specifically and directly address the actual question asked.

In other words, this question is already conditionally predicated on the Existence of the One True God of Heaven -- and that Jesus Christ was the Son of God before His Incarnation, that He laid down His Divine Power (but not His Divine Authority) to become a Man, and that He took up His Divine Power again when He Ascended to Heaven 40 days after His Crucifixion and Resurrection.

Thus, when everyone considers their answers, please keep in mind these verses of Scripture -- and keep in mind that I'd like to hear answers in your own words, rather than more Scripture (unless I've missed a very telling one):

Deuteronomy 18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

I know plenty of people that put up the tree, buy gifts, decorate the house, and everything else without ever thinking about christianity or why they're celebrating Christmas. People, whether religious or not, celebrate Christmas anyway. I know a lot of atheists and agnostics that celebrate Christmas. Can Christmas be considered more of a cultural holiday than religious one in America?

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York a week before Christmas and says, "I hate to ruin your holiday season, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son asks.

We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing." and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay" he says, "they're coming for Christmas and paying their own way."

"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"

My pastor says "Whatever we cherish that tends to lessen our love for God or to interfere with service to due Him, of that do we make a god." Doe Jesus count?
