What reason would He have for hiding his self from us? This would make worshipping a lot easier, if we knew what we were worshipping was real.

CHINA (China Aid Association)
May 27th and 28th, 2006, 30 house-church leaders from Langzhong City, Sichuan Province were arrested and forced to pay fines. Eyewitnesses and family members of the victims reported that the arrests happened from 11 a.m. on May 27th until 9 a.m. on the 28th during a fellowship meeting. Fifteen members of the Public Security Bureau in six police vehicles raided the meeting. Eyewitnesses say that during the arrests and interrogations, Christians were abused inhumanely by constant heavy beatings.
ERITREA (VOM Canada)
In the early morning of May 16th, 15 Christians escaped from a military training camp in Asabe, Eritrea and attempted to escape across the desert into neighboring Djibouti. According to a June 23rd report from Open Doors U.K., the men had been detained in metal shipping containers for the past two years because of their faith in Christ.

Because I can't talk to my own pastor just because he refuses to help damaged women(even on biblical topics) I'm really stuck and confused on this subject Blashemy of the Holy Spirit and scared to death because I'm not sure if I commited the unforgivable sin or not!! So if you're a pastor a Christian not a mormon or Roman Catholic could you contact me? Because I'm really confused.

This is an example of a white Texan Priest that spent his half life preaching for Christianity now he became Muslim. I don’t think because he is crazy. There must be a reason. He changed his entire life . His story is in this web :
http://www.islamtomorrow.com/yusuf/priests_n_preachers.htm
Muslim followers increasing day after day and Islam has the highest number of followers. There must be a reason don’t you think?

About five minutes ago, I took my three dogs outside. I opened the door, and there was a white plastic bag on the outside of my door on the handle. Inside was a single stem of yellow irises (Don't they grow only in summer?).

I opened the bag and there was a bag of Andes mint chocolates, wrapped in a few layers of decorated cellophane.

Attached to the bag was a beautiful card. I opened it, and in handwriting I don't recongnize (It's the handwriting of someone elderly. It's very shakey, but not childlike). The note said, "I hope you had a beautiful fourth of july, and I hope all is well.
~ Secret Sister"

What's odd is, I have a bull mastive/great dane mix on a tether outside. He views the only enterance to the driveway, and he ALWAYS announces when someone enters and leaves. On foot, in vehicle, or otherwise.

Claude was completely silent. My cockatiels are noisy when someone enters the property, and they were silent.

My three dogs inside were absolutely quiet.

(Will add details)

My Bahai friend told me that Bahaulla performed miralces, but that were 'discouraged' from using these events to 'prove' that Bahaulla was the Cause of God.

I've always seen the Bahai's interpret just about every miracle in a metaphysical sense, rather than a physical one.

Do any Bahai's know of any miracles that Bahaulla performed? For academic reasons if you prefer?

Suppose you were going to get baptised; what in your opinion is a fair price for the minister to charge. I really need help with this one. I need to make sure business doesnt slow down!

I never have understood why people get offended. We are commanded to be ready to give an answer. All answers come from questions.

1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Why do many "Christians" take offense to questions?

I can tell you, I don't. Thank-you for your input.

Now, I may as well state to begin with - I'm an atheist. I do not believe in the bible or any other holy scripture, nor in any such being like that. But I have a question for those who do believe the word of God and The Bible.

Have you ever considered that Jesus Christ may have actually been just a prophet who claimed to be the Son Of God and you're just being taken for a ride? Is he being made out to be the Son Of God by the people who wrote The Bible because they believed him?

Please dont just answer with something that damns me to hell for not believing, or telling me to read my bible because a) i dont have one, and b) i'm actually looking for intelligent answers to this question.

Evolution, it seems is on the right path at least. The evidence points that way. Creation advocates have yet to show me any tangible evidence to the contrary. So, anyone care to show me?

I am the president of a baptist womens group and we will be having a "lavender" tea that will be held in a nice outdoors area. The problem is that we dont know what to put on the program. does anyone have any ideas about anything from highlights in the program such as skits, presentations, games or food for that afternoon?
Also we would like to raise some money for our group.
We want this event to be not only fun but spiritually uplifting. Thank you for your help.

In this case, polytheistic usually, but not necessarily, refers to following a particular pantheon of gods; at the least, it refers to the belief in many "supernatural" beings.

Duotheism, I think is fairly recent, and it refers to the belief in a single God and a single Goddess, meaning that the forces of the universe are separated into male and female aspects.

Monotheistic would be defined as the idea that "all gods are but facets of the same diamond." Similar to this is the idea that there is a universal life energy that all beings tap into. Perhaps, this would be more accurately defined as animism, or animatism, so please feel free to use different words, if it is more appropriate for you.

Don't worry about agreeing with me, because I have an appreciation for all of them. Polytheism takes into account the multiplicity of the universe, duotheism takes into account the idea that life is created by two beings instead of one, and animism is more all-encompassing.
