Maybe, just maybe the Encyclical written in 1968; Humane Vitae got it right when it said:

the man, growing used to the employment of anti-conceptive practices, may finally lose respect for the woman and, no longer caring for her physical and psychological equilibrium, may come to the point of considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and no longer as his respected and beloved companion.

could it be that artifical birth control has aided in the demise of our culture?

My uncle is gay and I'm all right with that, it's his choice. But I always hear people say how wrong it is for people of the same sex to love each other. There are also those who say they're sinning, because God strictly said it was wrong. I believe God would have grown as we his people have grown to look at different things a certain way. Is that the right thing to believe in?

If Christians believe the New Testament over rules the Old Testament, for example it’s OK to eat pork, then why do they want the 10 Commandments in every courthouse? If they are part of the Old Testament do they still count?

If the Old Testament is no longer valid, why to they continue to quote Leviticus to beat up gays, but then they eat Pork BBQ and work on the Sabbath? (Working on the Sabath is a death penalty offence in Leviticus; I wonder what that means for NASCAR and the NFL? Aren’t they working?

I mean, is the christian religion so messed up that you can't get two people to agree on anything?

Sounds like when it comes to scripture, it's a field-day.

I would like the religious people here to read this news story. There are so many like it that you cand find everyday. At one time religious people was burning poeple at the stake because they did not believe in god or stoneing them to death. Rapping little boys and thinking that god is comming in a space ship following a comit. There are so many wrong things that has been done in the name of religon that churchs are very scary to most people. Why say you was drunk and did it and did not know what you was doing. When you can just say it is gods will.

So check out this link and my above statment and tell me why you think that this god thing that you believe in will be here in 100 years. I feel it will be found out to be a scam for power and money and will one day be ban every where. Creapy people if you ask me. .Never know what country they will try to attack next and kill everyone because someone don't believe the same way.

You guys and gals scare the hell out of me.

I have various friends who have approached me repeatedly about becoming "saved" over the years. Notwithstanding the fact that I spin them in a loop with the Bible every time they toss it at me, they keep coming back. In the end, if I prove their concepts, testimonies, and witnesses flawed by the words of the prophets and apostles, they invariably become indignant, as if I had offended God himself. Mind you, I believe in God. I simply don't believe in ..... well ..... their concept or understanding of God. If I'm ever to be saved, I'll leave it to God to make that determination. Am I wrong? Do they have a monopoly I don't know about?

me and my fiance have been together for over 2 years and have a beautiful baby boy. We both believe in God, and would like to go back to church so that our son can come to believe in God also. Would the church communtiy look at our relationship as a sin because we have a son outside of marriage? I wouldn't want to go to church and be critisized for our decisions.

If there was a big bang, and the big crunch, and then again a big bang, etc..., do we also restart our lives just the same and I mean identical? Do we always do the same mistakes, choices, decisions?
Is that why we feel De ja vue?

i know the preacher's a good man and i believe he's saved. but he was preaching about how the saved is mixing with the unsaved and becoming worldly just like them. he said when he was young the whites couldn't stand it that the blacks were allowed to start going in the same places as them. then he said, but it happened, now they got mixed marriages. then he said, now i'm not here to throw stones at it.
do you see it as him comparing mixed marriages to saved people mixing with the unsaved. do you think he's saying mixed marriages is wrong? because God has no respect of people, and if mixed marriages was so wrong, then why did God strike Moses' sister miriam with leporsy for making fun of Moses' mixed marriage (King James Version Bible The Book Of Numbers 12:1-16)
i just wonder if i took him wrong. thanx best answer will be chosen.

For example, I'm a Christian, but if I wasn't a Christian, I would be a humanist.

What about you?

Muslims believe that Judaism came first and people corrupted it so there was Christianity and it was corrupted and so there was Islam. Did you notice how similar the words in the Bible (revelation) and the Qur'an are? The Nag Hammadi library also largely coincides with the Qur'an.

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither *male nor female*: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

BUT

1Corinthians 14:34/35
34"Let your women keep quiet in the churches: for it is NOT permitted unto them to speak; but they are COMMANDED to be under obedience, as also saith the law"
35." And if they will learn ANY THING, let them ask their Husbands at home: for it is a SHAME for women to speak in the church!"

BUT

Psalms 68
11The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host: 12 Kings of armies flee, they flee, and she who remains at home will divide the spoil!"

AND

Joel 2:28-29

It will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy,

So if a women is good enough to spread his word why is she not good enough to share it as the leader of the church.... I just don't get it.....
