The Apostles Creed,
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,Creator of Heaven and Earth and in Jesus Christ His only son, our Savior who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirity, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, died and was burried. He descended into hell and on the third day arose again in fufillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen
{Now other than the belief in the Catholic Church how does this make Catholics not Christians? This is basically all of our beliefs. It is our Apostles Creed.}

My parents don't belive in dating becasue of I Corinthians 7:27-"Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife." Tjhey feel that you should wait for God to send someone and then you both feel that you should marry. I sorta belive this too. What do you think?

If I am to be punished for all eternity because I am a sinner, and according to most religions I AM a sinner, then I have to begin to try and understand what eternal punishment would be before I can consider that something to be scared of.

So, I am sent to hell and there is the usual fire, brimstone and demons torturing you for all eternity... This wouldn't bother me in the slightest, as I'm dead... Pain is an indication of injury, and as injury means nothing to me then pain itself means nothing to me, so pain can't be used as part of my punishment...

Showing me something which I usually could not stand, such as my loved ones being tortued, would also be equally as ineffective as I know that my loved ones would not be tortured purely to inflict torture on me and if they were being tortured they would be in the same situation as me so I could do nothing about it.

I can't think of anything I would consider punishment..!

Can you help me out and think of a punishment for me..?

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." if not how about this one "Nothing is worth more than this day."

Now if you believe in evil so why not God?::
Explain me few things in atheism and i'll get that you are following the right thing mybe in scientific terms....ie
What is love? Why does a man feel lonely? why do we need friends? what is jealousy? what is hate? How do we think? what happens after death? Or why do we die? what is anger,lust and how does it come to our mind?Why do we crave for more and more things? Why human wants are unlimited? ....I have a answer to that and been thought why does this happen ...give me an explanation in your terms so maybe i wont beleive in God too.

My wife and I are very happily married. Both of us have been married twice before, both times for the wrong reasons. My wife and I both believe that God brought us together and are living our lives to the best of our ablility in God's image. Here is our delima; . My wife has 3 children from previous marriages and I have 2 children from my last marriage. There are several legal issues involving us being married on "paper". My wife has suggested that we get a divorce on paper so that we can resolve some of our legal issues. I agree that this is probably the best route. My question is this: In the Bible God tells us that we are to follow his laws and the laws of the land. The law of the land says that to be considered "married" you have to have a piece of paper. I think that if two people love each other and have made a public pledge before God and family to be husband and wife then you are married in God's eyes. I am wondering if by getting a legal divorce we are going against God

Here it is sunny after having rained every day for the last week.

Yesterday we defeated our enemies on the rugby field.

We have pleased the gods.

I mean if woman were forever to be doomed with this, then wouldn't doing something to get rid of that pain be a sin?

Now please don't cop out with the old "anything good is of God" bit. Especialy if you want to be considered for best answer. I want YOUR actual opinon and feelings on this!

As I turned on the radio this morning I heard a guy saying, "We are all sinners and we will all be punished! God will punish each and every one of us!"
If people truly believe this, why do they try to do good and go to church? I believe the divine resides within us and it's up to us to let it shine, not to always feel threatened by an abstract future punishment. What do you think?

Who Can Tell Me?
"Who can tell me where I came from?"
The little boy would ask.
His question was a good one
Yet he faced a trying task.

Each man had different answers
As he was soon to learn.
This brought him great confusion
And it caused a deep concern.

He first went to his schoolmates
And they spoke with one another.
Then the smartest little toddler said,
"You came from your mother."

Now this had satisfied him,
Yet only for a time.
For as he grew in years of age
His thoughts began to climb.

He then looked all around him
At all that he could see.
And his mind began to wonder
How it all had come to be.

He thought about the cosmos,
The infinititude of space;
And every star and planet
That exists in every place.

He thought about the rounded earth,
Spinning in rotation.
And all four seasons that occur
In yearly circulation.

He thought about the darkness
And he thought about the light.
He thought about the sun and moon
That help the day and night.

He thought of all the creatures
Of the land and sea and skies.
He thought about the sun and moon
That help the day and night.

He thought of all the creatures
Of the land and sea and skies
Of all the different species
And their variance in size.

He thought of all the plants and trees
And all that each provides,
Each growing from a tiny seed
With roots the soil hides.

He then looked at humanity
With all the different faces.
Different tongues and characters
And all the different races.

He thought of mortal bodies
With features so profound;
All the senses: taste, and touch,
And smell, and sight, and sound.

He thought of reproduction
And the miracle of birth.
He thought of human life itself
And all that it is worth.

He then considered human will:
Weak and also strong.
He thought about the conscience
That discerns that right from wrong.

He thought about emotions
And feelings that arise.
He thought about the love and hate
And tears that flow from eyes.

He thought about the anger
And the joy that does abound.
He thought about the happiness
And sadness that is found.

And filled with curiousity,
This boy would daily strive.
In hopeful expectation
That his answer would arrive.

He spoke with scientific men
Who claimed his question solved.
They told him of a real big bang
And that all things evolved.

He then spoke with philosophers
And many did insist,
That there is no reality
And nothing does exist.

He spoke with many people
From various groups and sects.
And heard the vast opinions
Of various intellects.

Now baffled by confusion,
A very troubled youth;
Unable to discern
What is error, what is truth.

He almost gave up looking,
But he took a second look.
And very unexpectedly,
He found a special Book.

As he opened up the first page,
The mystery came undone.
His questions all were answered
In Genesis, chapter one.

With a nod of understanding,
He smiled, so elated.
For now he surely knew--
"In the Beginning, God created..."

--Pastor Emeal Zwayne
