In the Bible we are told several times that we are granted spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit. One of these gifts could be considered prophecy. However, Hebrews says that God talks to us through His Son. So, how do you believe God talks to us? Do you think that God gives certain people the gift of prophecy, or does He communicate with us through His Son and the Holy Spirt? Or maybe even a combination of both?

Just wondering about your personal opinion here.

In Heaven/The Other Side, do you think all of us who were good, nice people in this life get to be really hot/beautiful on the Other Side/Heaven? You know how looks isn't always what its about here in this life, but do the good looks come On The Other Side as a bonus reward of being good?

For instance, someone who is unattractive or maybe even disfigured in this life but led a decent, honest, moral life, but his or her spirit and visage on The Other Side/Heaven is really beautiful and brilliant?

Likewise someone who may be striking/attractive in this life but has a really bad attitude and treats people he or she deems "lesser" than him/her like dirt becomes either feeble and unattractive on The Other Side or reincarnates until he or she learns to accept and be kind to others.

What's your take (for those who believe in an afterlife)?

I had a dream about a demon( that I say I have, I am demon possesed if you would like to know) and it brought up lots of thought unto God with questions. But I will search here and read with my heart. It showed this demon that I had, and how it has conqured everyone it has been with, but with me it could not conqure me. When it left me it found another host and gave great strength and the person loved it as he tried to kill people. But the demon possesed man could not kill me he tried but ran away afraid. It showed him jumping from one person to another all falling to him, one with desires that are not his and others I can not remember. At the end it showed me weak and tired when the demon left me. In a way this battle will take all your energy.

things about dreams they are scrambled.....


now happens to the evil spirits when they leave a person, can someone show me bible evidence of this? and is there anyway to stop the demon from being lose?

Thank you.

'Central to his myth is his relationship with Patroclus, characterized in different sources as either deep friendship or passionate love.'

And Patroclus is a guy...sooo..

or is it still considered religious to this day?

I'm talking about December 31st and January 1st, by the way.

I'm sure that at SOME POINT it had to've been religious, people have been celebrating it since 2000BC.

Isn't responding to my intense love for Him? I feel that He has abandoned me. I can't even enjoy my favorite activities, the time I spend with family and friends, and my breakfast, lunch, and dinner, without thinking about Him. My love for God is consuming me. I think about Him 24/7. I want to have an intimate relationship with Him like Jesus did. I want to live life in the spirit like Jesus did. But with all of this false teaching and the focus on wealth doctrine, I can't seem to get answers from the church. Instead this "prosperity doctrine" seems to be creating a system in the church that is similar to the system of the world..and that is the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. I want the basics of how to be like Jesus. I don't care about money or wealth. To me a life without a deep relationship with God like Jesus had, makes life useless. Is there anyone out there that can help me get to the same place spirituality where Jesus, Smith Wigglesworth were?

Do they still believe the earth is the center of the universe? Is their belief still the dogma of hiding your head in the sand? How much PROOF do you need to over come your beliefs?

Do people all over the USA not care what is happening to WE THE PEOPLE as it pertains to our rights. Take your eyes of the television once in a while and read what is happening...We still have access to libraries. The internet...If you don't pay attention to what is going on I fear there will be no more WE THE PEOPLE no matter what party you belong to. Speak up do WE THE PEOPLE care anymore?.....I DO...

it was Christ who did it and not the cross. Why do so many where a cross around your neck? If someone killed your son or daughter, would you wear a symbol of the gun around your neck to remind you of them?

I am 23 years old and have really no interest in church or organized religion. I am not religious at all and just believe in living a peaceful and pleasant life. I do believe in a god, but one that accepts people for who they are and is very loving
and forgiving.

People have told me I am going through a phase and it will change, do you agree with that?

This is a totally hypothetical, theoretical question. Feel free to answer it from a secular point of view, since I know one answer could simply be that God would not allow a Pope to do these things so it just wouldn't happen.

What if a few years from now a Pope was elected and he changed his mind on a bunch of issues, became more liberal, or claimed to have divine revelations.

And suppose this new Pope suddenly said that women should be ordained, amd priests could marry, among other changes that once seemed unthinkable.

What would happen?

Would it be within the Pope's authority to make these changes?

i was looking through old questions and it freaked me out that i found someone else ith the same experience...i used to be anorexic. for around 2 years my weight was my main concern...calories,excersize,even when my family had started to notice...yea i was getting BAD. But anyways, i JUST found soome else on Y!A who had the same thing! they used to be anorexic and after becoming wiccan they stopped! ( i just thought it was amazing) THE QUESTION: did wicca effect you in any big way like this? something i've realized is most wiccans are extremely fun and lively people, they arn't as unhappy (NOT because of magick like silver ravenwolf would have you believe)but because they have found a religion with loving deities and no fear tactics...also they live life to the fullest and when you do that self-denial like anorexia seems horrible!!!!

blessed be!
