what im wondering is that if she had no understanding that what she was doing was wrong then why was she and the rest of us punished for an act that she didn't understand was wrong, and why didn't god protect the tree of the knowledge of good and evil like he did the tree of life only after they had eaten the apple? sounds like a setup to me. also, if things weren't exactly the way god wanted them then would they be this way?, since he is the creator of all things including good, evil and the devil and knows the end from the beginning?

Are you enjoying this month's articles on Elders and what does that mean to you?
(If you are here to be mean and nasty then go somewhere else because I am not interested and I don't care if you don't like the magazine I only want to know interested people)

when i fall in love, no matter how hard i try, in the end i really can't prevent myself from wanting to kiss the person that i fell in love with. i'm just a normal guy, and it's kinda in my nature, sorry.

and well (blush) then i kiss her. i admitt it, i kiss her!
(and other thingy's, but hey, there are also kids on this website)
but.no matter how hard i would try to stop myself...my lips move towards her lips..and well...yes...(blush)..then i kiss her..

NOW, ehm..the last hour i've seen about a 1000 christian reactions on a lot of questions, saying "if homosexuality would not be a choice, it at least is a choice if they act on it..and they can also choose NOT to act on their feelings"

QUESTION: How on earth can two people who are in love NOT act on those feelings? have christians never heard of Romance?

me and a friend are what we call open-minded skeptics. Sure, supernatural things may happen, but can I see it? We mess around with the friggin Ouija boards every once in a while. we have stories, but we didn't think they were true because we don't believe the company were with. Maybe six months or less ago we finally got something when it was just the two of us in a room in a actually creepy house. Before this, we never got it to work, at least believably when it was just us too. but than we spoke with someone who was supposedly talking to us one of the first times we did it. we just didn't believe that first time. this wasn't our minds though, because we usually keep our fingures 3 inches from the plachette. in other words, we both saw it move by itself. since than we haven't been able to get it to work. because of our skeptic nature, we usually do it that way, but i was told you need your hands on it too work, that one time, we definetly didn't. were we doing it right?

If I'm not making sense then look at these quotes, they should help.

Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.--Leonardo da Vinci

Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born - the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of other people's experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for data, his words for actual things.--Leonard Huxley

i'm a caregiver at a retirement center. i work the am shift which means i help dress some of them. there are some that are mormon (its in the biosketch and my boss told me) and they request that they have some sort of undergarment under their clothes. i was curious as to why, but couldn't get an answer from my boss ... and i was a bit nervous about asking some of the residents about it. plus, they have dementia, although i'm sure something as deep as faith would remain in thier heads...
so.. this question is for you if you can answer it. why the undergarments? is there any biblical support for it? (i have found none yet)...
no, i'm not trying to be mean here, i sincerely want to know.

I, his holiness Pat Robertson, was chatting with God tomorrow morning, and he told me that we should replace the gay lawyer on Will and Grace with a better lawyer, who is less sinful, like me. Would me a straigh lawyer fill with the hateful wrath of God not be better than Will Screwman?

Because Noah was chosen to build the ark, and have his family on it (because they were the only righteous people on Earth at the time), shouldn't all of their decendents have been monotheists as well? Where did all of the polytheistic pagan religions (those which the Jews were forbidden to assimilate with) come from?

As a straight person, could you just decide to become attracted to, fall in love with, or have relations with a member of the same sex?

Also, humans and animal species alike experience homosexuality...did animals choose to be gay as well???

"Do those who are disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not have faith?" ([Qur'an 21:30]:

This one verse clearly presents two scientific facts about Big bang and every living thing is made from water. Now we come to know that human and plant cell is made up of more than 70 % water.

NOTE : The quran was revealed 1400 years ago and its the same , not changed a bit.

now. arent you amazed? if not how come?

quran .(45:2) The revelation of the Book is from God the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.

If you do Not, please explain after reading this why you don't get it?

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are ONE

1 John 5:8
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in ONE.

1 John 5:20 ( note all will not get this understanding)
And we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in the Son of Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life..

This might be a silly question but I've always wondered why its a sin. Isn't like having sexual cravings and finding people attractive a natural normal thing?

I don't believe in being with someone just for sex or anything. I think being with someone is about having connection, friendship, enjoying each other company, things in common, personality, love, respect caring for that person etc as well.
