As a Catholic I firmly believe in it and think it's the best proof that Christianity is really unique, What do you think?

I'm so tired of the dating scene. I'm starting to feel really down about the whole thing and I just feel like telling everyone who's supposedly interested in me to get lost.
Everytime I decide to give a guy a chance I end up getting hurt. I'm so fed up with guys who only think about sex. Even though I make it a point to tell guys that I'm conservative and that it won't happen..they don't seem to listen. They'll treat me like a princess for months if they have to, just to see if they can get me to give it up. When they see they're really not getting anywhere, they leave. I've had guys who wanted to marry me but they weren't right for me. I've been meeting all these jerks now and I'm scared of giving anyone a chance. I feel like the same thing will happen. There is this guy I like now but I'm afraid of giving him a chance and him leading me on like the others. Why does this keep happening when I clearly tell the guy that It's not happening? And no,I'm definetly not sending mixed signals

Islam is a religion of peace. You have to understand that the verses in the Quran took place 1400 years back and of course, Muslims won't use these on fellow Jews and Christians. Political Bigots use Islam as some kind of weapon and verses in the Quran. The reference of using action against the enemy or what the west likes calling "the infidel" were used only at that time.The Quran is a book for eternity for the Muslims and their Ummah (Community). Qur'anic verses in support of fighting, were for a special historical situation concerning the beginning of Islam. They argue that since prophet Muhammad, was persecuted in Mecca for the first thirteen years of his ministry, he was justified in his military actions in the last ten years of his life in Medina and for the support of the budding Islamic movement. These use of actions were just like the divine commands found in the book of Joshua in the OT, that were specific to a time, place and people group. I respect all religions and faith.

I lift up my eyes unto the hills; from whence shall come my help. My help is from the Lord God, maker of heaven and earth. He will not give to the moving of your foot, nor shall slumber he who keeps thee. Behold He will not slumber or sleep. He will keep Israel.

"A real pietist, like a true lover, cannot explain what force or what reason brings him into the fellowship of God. Love knows no reasons and when it reasons it is no longer true love. Both religion and love belong to the realm of mystery. Neither can be fully explained. Both are inward feelings which defy reason and explanation."

[Samuel Umen]

When I was a teen and 4 of us spent the night together we girls played with a Ouija board. We did not believe in it and truly thought we were moving it. We were all young Christians. As soon as we finished and turned off the lights we ALL saw a black hooded figure with no face standing over us and were paralyzed with fear. We could sense evil and even smell a rotten meat smell. We started praying and after a while it left and we could smell Roses. We immediately got up and destroyed the board and none of us have ever touched one again. Your thoughts please?

If you must repent to receive god's forgiveness, what happens if you die before you get to repent? Are some people just out of luck; as if to say, you play, you pay? If all people are sinners, is it the luck of the draw whether or not you get to repent before you die? What if you took the lord's name in vain when you stepped off the curb in to a puddle? You were a truly good person, but you were on your way to a job interview, so you said something that you normally would have regretted. Then, while distracted with your wet shoe, you got hit by a car before you got a chance to think, "I really shouldn't have said that." Do you just always have to start the process of repenting immediately? Seems like it would definitely keep one on their "moral toes"!

People, I understand that you do not want to believe in Jesus and God and Christianity, but why do you have to sit there and say things like God isn't real, or I'm God, or things like that? Most Christians don't say things when you talk about your religion! I am honestly getting tired of seeing people making fun of what I believe in! If you don't like what we are saying, then get off that question! Why do you sit there and make rude comments, when all you have to do is DON'T READ THE QUESTION!!!! If your so against it, then why do you bother clicking on the question in the first place? If your honestly telling me that you are that attention craved, that it makes you feel important to criticize our religion...then you need help!

We use so very many clumsy words; the noise of what we often say is not worth being heard. When the Father's wisdom wanted to communicate His love, he spoke it in one final perfect word. He spoke the incarnation and so was born the Son. His final word was Jesus; He needed no other one. For flesh and blood he completed to make a way for life. And so was born the baby who would die to make Him mine. The Father's fondest thought took on flesh and bone. He spoke the final word. Jesus. He needed no other to make the light become man. He stepped into time so we could understand. Jesus died for you. Would you walk away from the cross that was made from the sins of the world?

Seriously, regardless of your faith or beliefs, have you ever been in any situations where you truly could feel actual evil? And if you did did that not solidify the fact that Pure Good must exist also? I have felt this evil before and perhaps that is part of why I have no doubt about God. Your polite answers are welcome and all rude ones will be politely ignored.
Peace Be With Youl,

we use various everyday objects: computers, cell phones, TVs, radioes, cars, etc. someone--or something such as a robot--made that everyday object at one time or another. well, my common sense tells me that that cell phone didn't just appear out of thin air. that car didn't suddenly appear. neither did that TV or radio. everything came from somewhere (except God, He has no origin--that would imply something higher in power than God). so nonbelievers in Christ, why do you insist on proving God doesn't exist. you exist, don't you? i exist, don't i? we all have an origin. we didn't just pop out of nowhere. God spoke us into existence, then we popped out of nothing. you cannot argue with this so don't even try.

let's say you made something. if that object was not inanimate (able to talk and live), would you like it if that object rejected you? would you like to be betrayed by your own creation? God set down His life for you, and yet you still deny Him. thats screwed up

My friend told me that if you were to get hypnotized (to quit smoking, for example,) that you would be going against God. Is this true?

OK, the first part of the question is a little obvious. However, I would honestly like to hear from some folks that do, because I am intrigued as to how one that believes a set of commandments that include "Thou Shalt Not Kill" can reconcile this with, say, the Civil War, or any other war for that matter.

This is an honest question. I ask it because it seems that there is a split between:

Christians who believe that only Christians go to heaven, and there is a subset of this group who make it a point to constantly point out that non-believers will go to hell (and some even answer questions that have nothing to do with this just so that they can express this view)

and

Christians who believe that non-Christians will be judged by God based on the lives that they have lived and that God will unltimately determine whether or not to allow that soul into heaven (a view that is refuted by the previous group of Christians based on the claim that everyone is a sinner, that good works do not count, and that only accepting Jesus as your Savior will wash away the sin.)

I am just curious to know what allows for such a difference of views.

And please, if you are part of the first group - you needn't tell me for the umpteenth time that only Christians go to Heaven.
