Society & Culture - 31 December 2007

if life is like hell, and you cant bear it, most of the solution for this would be suicide, a permanent solution to a temporary problem. But what if the problem is permanent? ie cancer patient waiting to die without hope of recovering. And decides to commit suicide, would he go to hell? where exactly does bible mention that?

what about a teenager who seem to be so stressed, and hurt (his problems maybe not be permanent but seems as if it is) decides to commit suicide, would that be the same case?

life maybe like a torcher to some, when they cannot find god nor hope, maybe god made some of us to sacrifce ourselves for the beneficial to society, ie this boy was bullied and commited suicide leaving all the other boys who bullied him feel guilty and swear never to do that again.

make sense? i think suicide is up to us, god made us, yet, wouldnt he want us not to suffer in life?

any thoughts will be appreciated

Since they believe in the trinity....
Which one in the trinity do you guys pray too? The Father, Son, or holy spirit?

The bible says to pray to Father God, do you? Or do you pray to Jesus?

We are all capable of this if we become conscious of it. If you learn to interpret the colors, you can tell what people are thinking and feeling.

Then why don't they ask "If pigs descended from fish, why are there still fish?"?

I've never heard them ask that, and so I can only infer they have not heard of evolution in the paleozoic era.

(Of course we descended from fish too, but that's not the issue.)

Question: Does anybody know what church folks know or think about science?

I believe in Ijtihad which means to read the quran and hadith and come up with my own interpretation of them without the help of scholars.
and others prefer Taqlid which is said to me to be blind faith in the scholars of Islam without asking questions

which one are you?

To My Dearest Wife,

During the past year, I have attempted to make love to you 365 times. I have succeeded 36 times, which is an average of only once every 10 days. The following is a list of why I didn't succeed more often:

We will wake the kids - 54 times

It's too late - 15 times

I'm too tired - 42 times

It's too early - 12 times

It's too hot - 18 times

Pretending to be asleep - 31 times

The neighbors will hear - 9 times

Headache or backache - 26 times

Sunburn - 10 times

Your mother will hear us - 9 times

Not in the mood - 21 times

Watching the late show - 17 times

Too sore - 26 times

New hairdo - 6 times

Wrong time of the month - 14 times

You had to go to the bathroom - 19 times

Of the 36 times that I DID succeed, the result was not always satisfying because 6 times you just laid there, 8 times you reminded me that there was a crack in the ceiling, 4 times you told me to hurry up and get it over with, 7 times I had to wake you up to tell you I was finished, and once I was afraid that I had hurt you because you started thrashing around and breathing heavy. Let's try to improve this, shall we??

Love, Your Hubby

**********************

To My Dearest Husband,

I think things are a little confused. Here are the REAL reasons you didn't get more than you did this past year:

Came home drunk and tried to screw the cat - 23 times

Did not come home at all - 36 times

Did not come - 21 times

Came too soon - 38 times

Went soft before you got it in - 19 times

Cramps in your leg - 16 times

Working too late - 33 times

You had a rash, probably from a toilet seat - 29 times

Caught yourself in your zipper - 15 times

You had a cold and your nose kept running - 21 times

You had burned your tongue on hot coffee - 9 times

You had a splinter in your finger - 11 times

You lost the notion after thinking about it - 42 times

Came in your pajamas after reading a dirty book - 16 times

The reason I laid still was because you had missed me and were screwing the sheet. You seemed to be having a good time and I didn't want to move and spoil it for you. I wasn't talking about the crack in the ceiling.

What I said was, "Would you like me on my back or kneeling?" The time I was thrashing around and gasping was when you farted and I was fighting for air. Maybe you can work on your "shortcomings?"

Love, Your Wife

Could witnessing be an invasion of privacy?
Wouldn't it be better to witness to others only if they ask why you have this hope in you?
Should we allow others pressure us into witnessing if we feel that we are not ready for that?
Isn't it best to just learn to grow in the Lord and allow Him to do everything?
I never ask anyone to my church unless it is one of my kids teen ager friends, only with my kids permission of course.
Am I right, what do you think?

If Christ was crucified for claiming to have the authority to forgive sins, which is considered Blasphemy, then how was it established that mortal Catholic Priests have the authority to do so?

Thanks my Catholic friends, I am not a "hater" just looking for clarification on these issues.

If Jesus was appointed/chosen as Savior since the beginning and before the world began, why does Isaiah 43:11 say "I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior"?

John 1:1-2 in your NWT says "1 In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. 2 This one was in [the] beginning with God."

If Jesus was the Word, and he was WITH god IN THE BEGINNING and he was "a god", then why does Deuteronomy 32:39 say "SEE now that I—I am he
And there are no gods together with me"?

For decades, a fossil skull discovered in Piltdown, England, was hailed as the missing link between apes and humans. Entire careers were built on its authenticity. Then in 1953, the awful truth came out: "Piltdown Man" was a fake! But who done it? In "The Boldest Hoax," NOVA gets to the bottom of the greatest scientific hoodwinking of all time.

It all started in the early 1900s, when a laborer digging near the village of Piltdown in southern England reportedly found a strange piece of skull that he passed on to Charles Dawson, a local amateur archeologist. Dawson obtained more fossils from the site and, believing they were the remains of a very ancient human, approached Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, Keeper of Geology at the Natural History Museum. In December 1912, the two jointly presented the reconstructed skull to the public as humankind's earliest ancestor.

Forty years later, new scientific tests showed that Piltdown Man was a forgery...

Or claimed to be God's will.

And God's help called upon to carry them out, with everlasting Heaven as the reward.

Do you get hate mail from other Christians?


Just curious.

Father K once wrote that the only hate mail he gets is from Christians.

Atheists complain about religious people being intolerant and closed minded. That they (religious) don't accept nor respect others' beliefs and ideas. That they (religious) try to convince atheists that they are wrong and that they have to find God.
But I've found that many atheists do exactly the same: they try to attack other people because their beliefs and they reject any type of approach. Where is the balance? Where is the open mindness and the freedom we adhere to?

how many christians here believe the rapture will occur in their lifetime? how old are you? the second question is not a maturity test, but more of a curiosity to figure how much longer it will be for those who believe.
