(Matthew 12:31-32) “On this account I say to YOU, Every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. 32 For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come.

When people of a similar ethnic background, nationality, or religion as yours will make an off color comment about another, hoping or assuming that you will side with them.

Have you ever caught yourself being drawn into their drama?

Surely there must be a battle between good and evil going on around us?

A girl at my daughter's school gave my daughter two raps. The first was a guy repeating "Get out my way b+" over and over. I don't think there were any other words. The other rap was some guy squealing "Quit calling me b+" over and over.

I don't see that either of these raps required much intelligence to produce. They seem to be outright uncivilized to me. How much brain do you need to lack to find this entertaining?

Why is it that people make jokes about current issues such as wars, death. Even huge tragedies like the tsunami and 9-11, yet people will condemn you to hell for a religious joke or even the fact that you don't believe. Why is it such a sensitive subject, and has been built up to something its not and in the end its only a belief yet we are meant to respect it and dare not speak badly of it for religion is Holy because someone said so more man 2000 years ago. I mean honestly I'm a football fan and I believe the next rugby world cup australia will win but I am not going curse people for saying I'm wrong because in the end I easily could be no matter how much faith I have in the Wallabies

I grew up a Baptist. The main teachings that I remember from those days were "once saved always saved" and "no dancing" . Are those beliefs still basic for you all?

Like any other religious texts, I study Islamic texts too. In deeper analysis of the time when it took shape, I do not find fault with it. But unjustifiably Islam is at the receiving end of all abuses particularly on violence and terrorism. Let us leave Islam to its own ways, but book the terrorists and bring them before justice. I am a Christian liberal in thoughts.

We don't need to accomodate all religions. We can let them be practiced, but we don't have to take prayer and the Ten Commandments out of schools.

Christians,

If gluttony is a sin, why feast on Christmas?

If sloth is a sin, why be lazy on Sunday?

If wrath is a sin, why talk of smiting people?

If lust is a sin, why have sex at all (sex requires lust; it does not require love)?

If greed is a sin, why keep your money?

If pride is a sin, how do you have any self-confidence (after all, you need to take pride in your accomplishments and not get too down about your failures to have self-confidence)?

If envy is a sin, how do you strive to follow in the footsteps of your role model?

Thank you in advance for clarifying this. :)

How do you respond to friends or family members who criticize, misjudge or misunderstand your chosen spiritual path?

I'm only 26, and I get called sir virtually everywhere I go. Mall stores, restaurants, out and about. And just not too long ago, well seveal years ago but still, I graduated college and never got called that, I used to get carded.

Does this mean that I look old, or what not. Many people my age, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, even guys, don't seem like "sir" or "maams" or moms or dads yet, so if you get called that, is it just a suggestion of politness, courtesy, or even store/restaurant policy, or, is your time up and it's time to head for the plastic surgeon's office? lol

I'm just not ready to be "old" yet. I feel like in your 20s you should still be hip and fun.

Asthon Kutcher is my age perhaps a bit older, and I doubt it's appropriate to call HIM sir, unless of course he really looks rich and done up and handsome/formal.

Maybe it's just a respect thing?

I don't know, but I'm uncomfortable with it.

I guess if you want to hold political office all you have to do is quote the bible and you'll get money for your campaign along with voters.

…and that story of your god making Adam from dirt cannot possibly be true? And the Noah’s ark story was never meant to be taken literally? In fact, just about everything written in your bible that previous generations of Christians did assume was true, you guys know better now, don’t you?
