1 Corithians 1:17-
Paul declares that Christ did not send him to baptise...and Jesus commisioned His disciples to make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit ( Matt 28:19.) Does Paul contradict Christ?

curious....

By 'sincere', I mean 'curious about the answer and wanting to learn' as opposed to 'launching into a tirade'. Can anyone find a single question posted here about evolution by somebody who actually wanted to learn about evolution?

And how many people will answer me by telling me that evolution is wrong or right (I didn't ask that)? How many people will give me lengthy cut-and-paste quotes?

always saying we dont do nothing but preach the word of god from door to door we i say if you preach the jesus of the nwt bible your a blasphemer preaching about a little god contradicting the all other bibles kjv,nkjv,niv,esv,nasb there is only one true god
there cant be 2 true gods or that would make jesus a false god because anyother god beside
jahovah is a false god. jesus and the father are one jesus is god who became flesh, the bible teaches that there is one true god father,son,holyspirit they are the one true god
all 3 are 1 god by nature and 3 in persons
thats why in the greek the name elohim is plural
and the word [one] is use as a compound unit
likelike when the man and the women became [one] compound unit. so if you teach a diffrent jesus you are not honoring the father to honor the father you must honor the the son.they wanted to kill jesus because he claim to be god
he said b4 abraham was i am, not i was.

1 Peter 4:6
Peter says that "the Gospel was preached also to those who are dead." This appear to claim that people have a change to be saved after they die.
And Hebrews..9:27 insists that it is appointed for men to die once , but after this is the judgement

i was riding with my father in his car, and we seen this guy in a wheelchair by a bus stop and i started thinking maybe i should help him, so by the time i made the decision i was already home, so i walked back to the bus stop and seen him stuck on some rocks and i helped him out and asked him if i could help him and i pushed him about 2 miles on his way home it was by mine also and he said that he could do it the rest of the way, so i let him go and i headed home, i didnt want my mom to worry it was about 11 40 at night and i assumed he had done it before, considering hes been in there all his life as he said, i wonder what god thinks about these acts that we do??. i didnt just do it for god, i felt like i had to do it, and i wouldnt even be able to sleep if i didnt at least try and do something. What does this mean. maybe it doesnt mean anything. i just want to get some opions by some christians that have maybe done the same thing. This isnt the only good thing ive ever done either.

I have asked on numerous occasions for the Pro-life movement to give me one exact quote from the Bible that says that abortion is a sin. I guess the pro life movement is a brain dead movement. Not one person has given me a quote from the Bible that says that Abortion is a sin. And guess what---- I knew they couldn't because Christ himself uses abortion. God is not going to call something a sin if he does it himself. And God never says that Abortion Stops a Beating Heart, because it doesn't. God stops all hearts that need to be stopped. Abortion is simply the tool God uses to stop hearts. And God makes it clear that we are to use abortion to make the world a better place. God loves children and wants them to be loved, fed, given health care, and raised in a good family. If these things aren't there, God can simply transfer the soul of the Child to another fetus. Its really that simple. So the pro-life anti Christ movement needs to stop calling names and causing sin.

ive been told that if you are saved that you will go to heaven. I have also heard that if you are saved but you commit suicide that you will still go to heaven. Others say that it is not true that you will go to hell. So which one is it?

Or are you making yourself available for serving at the church?
Baby sitting during service? Greeting at the entrance of the church?
Visiting old and sick? Helping feed the homeless? Delivering meals for the old? Helping cleaning church after the service?

If you are not, what is you view for what I just said?

My church encourages us to worship one hour a week, service one hour a week and study Scripture one hour a week.

I’m a Christian and I understand the words Jesus and Paul stated about submitting to authorities and how the testmony as believers is important, but what about something that surpasses all of that? What about mercy, forgiveness, opportunity to live a better life? From my understanding this country was rooted on Biblical principles. Did Jesus not work on Sabbath against the law at the time and question the lawmakers? Did Jesus not cross the borders in the case of the oppressed Samaritan at the well? I sit and wonder what would Jesus do in this case. Would he have received the people or sent them back home when all they wanted to do is work for a better life for their children. I recall a passage where Jesus said to the people of the law to throw the first stone at the prostitute if they found themselves blameless, so in terms of this case doesn’t everyone break the law not just “illegal” immigrants?

My church is interested in attracting more younger families. Our worship service is very traditional and only has very traditional organ and choir music. So, I am particularly interested in what Christians younger than age 40 prefer. Do you like traditional music? Do you like more contemporary music? A combination of both? Let me know what type you prefer and what age category you are in. (Example: 20's, 30's, etc.)

BTW, I my screen name is the mascot of Wake Forest University where I attend divinity school. If I went to Duke University Divinity, my screen name could be Blue Devil.

If God has low self esteem does that make him an atheist?

II have seen a lot of hateful comments on both sides. Don't you guys know every fool has a story to tell? In other words, other than hate, there are elements to each others world views that may indeed be true. For example maybe there is a higher power but it is not necessarily how some fundamentalists envision it. Learn to see some nuance. And also what is wrong focusing on the good passages? Love thy enemy. Judge not lest ye be judged. Mercy triumphs over judgment. No one should be able to say boo about this. & Christians even if you recognize an atheist why not recognized that the mind cannot proof the existence of God? This is not a bad thing. Faith is what you go by so please do not attack them indicating that some day the cosmic boogie man is going to get them. In short be kind to each other. No good is going to come out of attacking each other. At best you will get a sick joy, and at worse you will just feel sick. Personally I'm sick of it all so kiss & make up.

Can't they renew their life without leaving their religion?
Or do you see those people in Born Again denominations to be oppurtunistic of the situation?

And should not freedom of worship and right to beleive the way one chooses be of paramount importance rather than the concept of organized religion since some in the world feel it is a violation of human rights?

For those of you who are not Christians, what would you need to see in Christians to know that having a relationship with Jesus and having him as your Lord and Savior, would make a difference. We all know that no religion has perfect followers and yes there are a lot of hypocrites, but no matter how much we try, we cannot get everyone to exemplify Christ every day.

So, if you could only meet one Christian, what would you need to see or hear from that person to convince you that Jesus is real and that following Christ will be the best decision you could make?

Preachers kids, missionary kids, and deacons kids can especially understand my question. If you did not grow up gowing to church at least 3 times per week then you are probably not qualified to answer this question. A hatred towards the church is not the point. Especially by those who have never really been inside the church. I am looking for those who grew up in loving families but who have a hard time reconciling the zealous life inside the church with a life a peace.

I have not seen one question asking why someone is an atheist.
I think that they must actually believe but they have tricked themselves into thinking they are better off not answering to someone higher up.
I may be wrong but as long as I have faith in my God, I have something to live for.

I am not a preacher but I just wondered why so many questioning faith?
