Or would he have told me to help them (with my possessions in hand) out to their car? When would Christ have said it is O.K. to kill someone?

How can this verse be used to help people who are overcome by sin?

St. Mark 8:34-38

"Whosoever will come after me , let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it ; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

For those who do not like Christians. Did you have a bad experience with on?. If so who? When? Do you have family members who call themselves christians who yet are very harsh and unloving?
As for me it was my parents. It was all my childhood. It was stolen from me because me parents were so busy in church we had no time to be kids. And the people in the church were mean, judgemental, and scorned those who didnt look like, have the same tastes, and didnt go to church 3 times a week. They would treat my parents like bad parrents if we made mistakes, like laugh in church or something. In put alot of pressure on us and my parents.
My parents latter balanced out and apoligized for putting us through all that. I latter came to the faith because I saw God was good inspite of many of his people being ignorant. Please share your experience.

If Satan wants your damned soul to be put in his hell house and tortured, would he be carrying out Jesus/God's punishment? Is Satan working for God? Is Lucifer God's prison ward or something? Or is Satan equally as powerful as God , having his own spiritual realm in Hell, just like God has heaven? Do Satan and God duke it out a lot in the spirit world? If they have these realms, Heaven and Hell, where are they? are they close to each other, is one up and one down like depicted in the Middle Ages? Are they both outside the universe? Hot fire is in the middle of the earth, is the middle of the earth Hell? is Satan underground in the core of the earth?

If not often then why not? The Bible says you should.

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear." -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21

"The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it." -- Proverbs 30:17

"And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." -- Leviticus 26:16; Leviticus 26:29

I have never been a hardcore believer in past lives, I have always been very skeptical, until I start having memories of other times. For about a couple years now, I have had sporadic remembrances of me living a time around the 1920's/1930's, there are just so many images, names, emotions that come up that I can't explain, they are not from movies, and not from early childhood. Thse memories just seem to pop up from time to time, mostly while I am doing something very mundane, like walking up a flight up stairs or eating breakfast. At this time, I can remember two names from this life, where I lived, pieces about my childhood, the house I lived in, and other very mudane memories. My problem is now that there are just some memories that seem to be blocked, and they seem to be memories of bad things. How do unlock these memories, and how to I remember more myself? Also, is it common to remember all of this?

I was thinking of getting a list of people with various views and pairing them up to debate various issues (Is there a God, Is the Book of Mormon Historical, Was Jesus Crucified, Should Homosexual Marriage be Legal, those sorts of things) via email discussions.

People could then read the transcripts of a debate if they'd like and maybe they could vote on a winner which could translate into some sort of point system.

Do you think it would work? God any advice?

If you'd like to join up you can email me at brodie_geers@yahoo.com with a brief description of your beliefs and what you'd like to debate about and I'll try to set it up.

Ever see that movie with Kevin Kline, where the whole school ends up standing up. The main charachter's Dad stood up he said he was gay, that was wilfred brimley. The mom stood up. Pretty much the whole room stood up. One guy stood up said he was gay but that he still liked chicks.

Not sure if anyone will see the point to this question, that I am not gay, but that if I was, why would God stop loving me.

If we are being "misguided" wouldn't you want to bring us into the light? Why would you keep your mouth shut while we live a "lie"?

So many people are being told to believe in one and only one thing. Are we free to believe in what we want or we must believe in what has been told to us?
Should we be afraid if we think with our own minds?

My exhusband is getting married in the catholic church and has requested me help in getting the church to recognize our divorce so that they can annull (sp) it themselves before they will marry him to his fiance. I haven't talked to him in 5 years and am a christian, but don't believe in the catholic religion of men running the church instead of Christ running the church. Can someone tell me why the church needs to annull our divorce and what it entails. I don't want to deny my ex husband his happiness, but since I don't condone the Catholic religion, I am hesitant to help....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if "man shall not lie with another man" doesn't reference homosexuality, then what does it mean? Please enlighten this Christian woman.

Leviticus 11:9-12 says eating shrimp is abomination. Some Christians are saying its ok to eat shrimp because back then it was bad for them to eat because they might have got sick.

In 2006 we know how to cook shrimp and not get sick, so that is why the arguement is made by some Christians that Leviticus 11:9-12 doesn't apply.

Leviticus 18:22 says homosexual sex is abomination. Some Chrsitians state if there wasn't homosexual relations there wouldn't be spread of disease.

Its 2006. We know about diseases and about safe sex. We know about condoms. Just like we know how to properly cook shrimp.

Isn't it time to stop quoteing Leviticus 18:22 as a reason to hate gay people

People never believe me when I say I might choose to be Wiccan a little later in my life. Even here people are asking me if I want to worship the devil. Wicca is not about worshiping the devil. That's just lies! Wicca is the opisite. It's about worshiping Nature, The God, The Goddess and learning that your holy Mother and Father are always with you. I do not want to do this because I want to be goth or different as some of my friends think. I simply like the Wiccan religion. My mother is budist and my father is a mix of many religions, there's nothing wrong with that. Why is it that people think that I just want to be Wiccan for the fun and games? Does anyone know how I can convince my friends I'm serious? I tried telling them this but they didn't listen.
