So what about Mormons?

They pray to God in the Name of Jesus... They quote John 3:16 all the time and believe it.

What about Jehovah's Witnesses?
They also do the same.... They interpret the Bible differently though with different ideas about the Trinity, etc.

What about some Baptists who interpret scriptures to mean that a man must be physicaly baptised in order to be saved.

And some Pentecostals who insist that one must be filled with the Holy Spirit with evidence and when one is baptised, if one does not verbalize the name of Jesus, the salvation doesn't take.

And the Chrisian Universalists, who have a more metaphorical interpretation of the very same scriptures and don't believe in a literal Hell?

If salvation is so fundamental, why all these discrepancies? They all claim to be Christians, they all use the same book and they are all sincere.

They all claim to know Jesus and that He speaks to their heart and confirms the "right" interpretation via the Holy Spirit.

Than you were when you were 30?

Some of the answers to my previous question caused me to wonder whether it's only me.

When I'm among people watching them interact I see the games they're playing with one another they don't even recognize. I see and know their lies, the emptiness of their values, often the heartaches they're setting themselves up for, even though they're strangers at the next table or talking to one another in a grocery line.

When I was 40 I easily saw how stupid I'd been at 30 and 20. At 20 I could look back and recognize my self-deception when I thought I was smart at 15.

It's easy to understand how any 30 year old thinks anyone younger, or older is mentally challenged.

But am I the only one who expects the older me one day to be the best qualified to judge my failings, rather than someone who is 30 today?

Basically i ordered off a website on Friday 21st, a next day first class delivery. Thing is, i made the mistake of ordering it after 4pm, which is when they close. It obviously didn't come on Saturday or today because it's Sunday and it must be pretty busy so it's doubtful it will come tomorrow, Christmas eve. I suppose i won't be able to receive it on Christmas Day or Boxing Day because the post office/post men will not be active? I am really hoping it comes tomorrow, because i bought my Dad's last minute Christmas present off the net (stupidly) because i couldn't find anything in town and i'm going away skiing early morning on Thursday and i want him to get it on time before i leave.

What is the point? If you really dont believe, why bother waisting your time on here, If it is to try make us see the way you believe, that isnt going to happen, our faith is strong, so why not do something else or ask questions in a different catorgory................. Just wondering........... please try not to be tooooo sarcastic................... Merry Christmas.....

Its not in all situations. At school (i'm a senior) I'm fine, i enjoy making new friends and meeting new people.

outside of school is different though...

maybe its just because my family is here?

were having X-mas dinner early today, and there are a lot of ppl in the house i dont know. like i'm not sure how we even know them.

I jsut feel lik when i walk to the living room, thir all judging me or something.

I get nervous, and feel like some kinda loser.

I dont know why either.

some are adults theres a couple of teens and some kids.

I just feel so awkward in there.

man.


why Can't i handle this? But I can at school.

I just don't get it.

I feel so infrier. and I have no reason to.

Most of the adults are fat or weird looking, I admit theres a hot-*** girl my age, but Its no reason for me to feel this way.

not at my own house.

Do I have self esteem problems?

Cause I can be the ALPHA Guy, at other places.

is it cause my parents are here?

What is the catholic, christian, wiccan, buddhism, and the other religion's views of a demon? (How do they percieve the demon)

Where did it originated? Who created them? Or did they just become demons?

** ** **
Let me share some of my views of a demon, I believe that it is a fallen angel that waged war against God just like Lucifer did.
They never walked upon this earth, they were never human, they've never lived in this earth, BUT THEY ARE IN this earth.

When Lucifer and his angels waged war against God, God overthrown them to earth, I believe they were judged by God, and so Hell was created for them.

I also believe that because of their sins and hatred against God, they had these physical deformities in them. In my reason of view, that is why the real appearances of demons are never beautiful.

In Genesis 3:14, This also happened when adam and eve ate the fruit, and that God cursed the serpent. Serpents these days travel by their belly

It does not appear from the map that the faiths chosen are based on examination of the alternatives, otherwise why would the different faiths be grouped together so much?

Big band sounds and country music went through constant evolution during the 30s and 40s, along with the fads of jazz, boogie-woogie, etc, then faded.

The just-pre-rock'n-roll bop sound only lasted 6-7 years with old Hank Williams- Hank Snow - Hank Thompson style country music.

Then Rock and Roll [original] came and faded with the English group. Continued the evolve, fade, evolve, fade cycle alongside various other music genre.

But Rap has remained essentially unchanged since it began in the 1980s. Kids are listening to the same music genre their parents listened to when they were the same age, and liking it as though it was something they invented.

Seems to me that says something meaningful about something, but I haven't a clue what it might be.

Any ideas?
