Someone posted earlier that a person having tattoo's cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Now, I've heard that permanatley modifying the body is a sin, but will it not let someone into heaven? B/c I've seen ministers and such with tattoo's, and they say nothing about it. What do you think?

Should I confront a non believing co-worker about their swearing? Would this be appropriate? I have shared my views with her on pretty much everthing, but when it comes to her filthy language I just roll my eyes and keep quiet. There is already a lot of tension between us and I don't want it to escalate. What do you think Jesus would have me do?

In my view sience (evolution and all...) simply reenforces the wonderous complexity of creation and strengthens my faith rather than threatening it.

Why do some fundamentalists equate acceptance of verifiable observations about the way our universe works with a rejection of thier religious beliefs?

Dinosaurs aren't around anymore because they weren't on the Ark that Noah built? I was going through the questions I answered a month ago and saw someone who thought that...made me laugh.

Now let me correct him.

Leviticus 18:22 states: "Thou shall not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination."

Leviticus 20:13 states: "If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they should surely be put to death....".

This goes for lesbians and gays. Anyone beg to differ?

As I know that I exist, I also know that my place in the world is small. I am a being conflicted internally and must struggle to do, and not to say, for in doing I can teach others, and by remaining humble, my acts will live forever.
What do you think?

Are they always looking at other people as if they were Satan's little helpers?
Is the religion their way of feeling superior in society?

interesting what we think and talk about most? what r u into-what is Jesus or else the god/idol more important than Jesus in your life?
Jewish people and muslims need to see the truth-its the Messiah first or they will never know the whole truth-Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life no one cometh to the father, except by me."
hell is real-Daniel the prophet said its -"aborance forever" Jesus said its gnashing teeth and torment forever -for rejecting His words (John 12 vs 48 and Revelation 19-22nd chapters -about the joy of heaven too!
i tried it all worshiped money lust, even religion that says you can earn your salvation=good works-no blood atonement and grace -undeserved favor-or even a good relationship and put it ahead of Jesus-so i would do wrong to keep it or 'make it better'
then i realized it dont work-God is a Jealous God he doesnt want us to have any god before him. pray let Jesus into your heart to forgive sins and be your friend-what do u have to lose

Mine did, and do. God is all loving, correct. If he loves all his children, why throw then in a fire pit for all time to be tortured? Would a few years, or a spanking be good enough? My parents love me, and the worst I got from defying them was put in my room for a few hours after being slapped.

In the Bible it speaks of False prophets to came after Jesus. Does it however make mention anywhere of True Prophets to come?
If the Desciples of Jesus were given the Keys to the Kingdom would they not they pass them on? They were given that authority to do so...
My main question is still,"Does the Bible make mention of True Prophets to come?"

How? It wouldn't be a special right for gays to be able to marry someone of the same sex. Heterosexuals could do it, too.

Nothing special there.

Now, explain how I'm wrong.

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Apparently homosexual behavior occurs natually within the animals species. If this is true, does this means it's a natual thing for humans as well and perhaps not neccesairly a choice? How does this fit in with God's will?

between jewish christians or the orthodox christians?

if they both believe in jesus, why must there be a difference?

and if both the protestants' and catholics' teachings are from the same root, why are there variations in the current teachings?

Does prayer usually work for you? Of course I mean the times you ask for things as opposed to praise God and thank him.

Christians think gays should not be aloud to marry because the bible says it is wrong. The bible also say not to judge. So why not let gays marry and if god has a problem with it let him sort it out in the end? If he desides it is wrong god can make the judgement and send them to hell. Is it really any of your business? If you think it is gross or don't like it, SO WHAT? I don't like my fat old neighbor wearing mini skirts, that doesn't mean I can make it illegal.

From a dear theist friend. Opinions?
"We make His essence dependent on the primitive and cruel writings and traditions of bygone priest-classes with their own agenda. We besmirch His name by insulting the intellectual pursuit of truth in science if it contradicts already contradictory references. When science comes up with a solution that undoes scriptural interpretation, we have to invent yet another metaphor to cover our absurd meanderings, e..g., the days of Genesis, the solar system, etc. In this the doubters are correct, we have reduced Him to be “God of the Gaps.” And each gap that science closes demonstrates our folly.

We are disrespectful of His great gift of discernment, on which our free will depends.

I suggest that God is not defined by our ignorance. He fits gloriously within any future achievement of science – whether in physics or evolutionary science.

To conceive of a discovery that would diminish God, is to have already diminished Him."

I remember him telling us to forgive it, but not to hate it. Am I wrong here?
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen
