HOW ON EARTH IS THIS POSSIBLE? I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE CREATED BY THE SAME GOD.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT GOD IS A DIFFERENT MENTAL PICTURE OR CONSTRUCTION?

I am very curious and kind of scared about recent religious, almost paranormal events happening to me. How could I contact a priest anonymously for free just to tell my story and ask some questions? This is kind of dealing with a demonic or angelic presence (I am not sure if it is good or bad), so what religion of priest would you reccommend i speak with? I know I sound crazy, but answers would be highly appreciated. I am not usually a religious person, please help. Maybe there is a way to speak to one online?

There has been so many scientific discoveries that debunks certain aspects of religion. Will there be a day when we can finally shut up religious people?

Not just in our solar system obviously, but throughout the entire universe. you have to admit, it would be pretty ignorant to assume we are the only life in this vast universe. So, let's imagine there is other life out there with intelligence similar to or greater than ours. Do you think our god created them as well? Do you think they would have the same religious beliefs? Would they all go to hell if they had different beliefs?

When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do, however, need some advice regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

And if that's so, then isn't "God" just a way of keeping yourself from thinking hard about an answer?

My 87 year old aunt is visiting with me. My Mom, her sister, is dead. My aunt has been like a Mom since I was 14; and through her, I was able to attend college.She has always encouraged me.While I was brushing my teeth today I heard her open the front door.Nobody was outside; and she seemed surprised as she had heard a knock.. Of course older people may imagine things but when my parents were alive, they scolded me once for knocking on the door and disappearing.Why they were certain it was me remains a mystery.I was sleeping at the time of the incident. I have heard knocks and thought it was my brother.Sometimes he would appear moments later and deny having knocked on the door previously.I suspect spiritual implications because my aunt was adamant about moving to another bedroom.I have decided to listen,My parents used to do things at times that seemed odd to explain at the time too. Any comments and advice would be appreciated.

I was singing in my youth ministry today, everyone had just come back from camp, and everyone was really enflamed for Jesus, you know, and we started singing and everyone gathered around the stage, clapping, jumping, hands raised, eyes closed, praising. This has got to be the best feeling in the world. Thank you Lord. So my question is have you ever felt something like that,Please share. God Bless.

What if God is only going to send those people to heaven that have the courage not to believe in him? What if everyone else is going to hell? I think this demonstrates the ridiculousness of Pascal's wager. It's a terrible argument and I don't understand why people keep using it to try and persuade atheists.

144,000 Jews will be going to heaven; everyone else is going to hell. Rev 7:4

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
