Jehovah Witnesses Changed Jesus to Jehovah. which is not even the Name of God, it is what the Hebrew tribes started calling God ,because he told them he was Self Existant.. they did not know his name Jesus told them in his "Lords Prayer What is Fathers Name was, and still some do not know him . My Question,
Is this not sad 2000+ years after Jesus sacrifice.?

My friend's backyard was haunted by an occultish presence. In his backyard, his two roommates felt spiders crawling on them and pins and needles. In the hedge they found the three above items. There was also a mysterious man in a black suit who walked past my friend up his driveway and then disappeared.

Look at all the hateful responses to my questions. They call me a racist. They call me a bastard. They use vulgar and obscene language. Islam is not a race! I've had alot of very civil responses to my questions from level headed Muslims, and I've picked Muslims answers as BEST ANSWER. Why is it OK for them to refute and debunk other religions, but when we question their religion (or challenge them about certain part of it), they curse us and insult us and report us as abuse? It sure seems like a double standard to me. Why why why?

Biblical Verse: 1 Peter 5:14 - "Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen."

Why are people so hesitant to kiss each other in a friendly way, expecially the guys? The bible makes it pretty clear that this is the right thing to do. Also Jesus kissed his disciples all the time. Why don't/shouldn't we kiss all our friends like it says to do in the Bible?

I was just wondering what kind of life would a person lead if they had nothing to look forward to. How do you live from day to day believing that this is all you have?

I'm Seventh-day Adventist myself, but sometimes I find it hard trying to tell others about our faith. I enjoy being an SDA member and telling people about us but sometimes they try to tell me they know more about what we believe when they haven't taken the time to get to know us.

Today during my meditation and prayers I felt this overwhelming sense of Gods presence and peace. For those of you who believe in a Creator I am wishing you this feeling also. For those who do not believe I am wishing you peace, joy, and happiness.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Is this a sign of the great falling away in the last days as predicted in the bible?

Why are so dumb and illogical to realize the truth of Jesus our Lord
and Christianity. Why they don't read the Bible. Don't they understand that Christinity is the only Truth and Jesus--the only path?
Why?
Because The Bible says so.

open letter from the International Campaign in Defence of Women’s Rights in Iran

No to Sexual Apartheid in Iran!

Shari’a law has ruined the lives of women in Iran. You might ask how?

• Do you know in Iran women are stoned to death for having sexual relations outside marriage?
• Do you know women do not have the right to choose their clothes? It is common knowledge that in Iran, the veil is compulsory and women who defy it are severely punished, arrested or flogged in public?
• Do you know that women and men are forced to be segregated in public?
• Do you know that many jobs are closed to women because of their gender?
• Do you know that women have to get written permission from their husbands or male guardians in order to get a job, study or travel?
• Do you know that women do not have the right to divorce and in the event of divorce they do not have the right of custody of their children?

The list is endless. In one word, sexual apartheid rules in Iran under Islamic Shari’a law.
You might find these facts hard to believe. It is unfortunately the bitter truth for millions of women in Iran. Parallel to this devastating situation, there is a strong movement for a better humane life in Iran. Women in Iran have managed to force their way into all aspects of the society including education. There is a strong movement against the veil and all anti women laws. The struggle against sexual apartheid is visible as a strong and radical movement in Iran.

Why do people still believe in god?

2006-08-08 12:08:49 · 31 answers · asked by Penguin King 2

I think that everyone and everything is essentially made of the same thing. Possibly when we die some part of this thing lives on. I believe in time this thing will be described by science. No god, no Jesus, no judgement. This is something I've thought about for a long long time. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Real answers please!!

My auntie is very ill and has been for a long time. Now she is thinking (quite strongly) of going to see him. She goes to church every day and her faith is very important to her. She is a Roman Catholic.

Now she has an hip replacement operation coming up she is cripled with Arthritis, Somebody who has been to see this John of God has told her not to have it but to go and visit this healer.

Now, i'm a bit of a skeptic, and fairly enough i believe concerned. Although if he can do her some good then im all for that too.

I would like people to answer who have had personal experiance of this John of God, so that i can make an informed dession about weather i should support her and go with her or if i should actively discorage her.

I would like her to have her operation, to releif the pain, and then go and see him. idealy. At least at the worst she has had a trip to brazil, although it maybe be costly and painful to travel.

Hey Atheists and Muslims--are you sure that you are saved if you die today? No you are not--because Atheists believe in Anti-Christ
--they are not sure of Salvation. Muslims are not assured salvation--
they think their good work and prayer MIGHT get them to heaven.
Only heaven is assured for a martyr.
BUT YOU ARE NOT SURE. That proofes you are wrong.
Only our faith in Lord Jesus' sacrifice paid for our sin. Yes,
only Christians(Methodists) are assured of ETERNAL SALVATION.
why you don't understand that? Don't you read the Bible?

what do you think of this.How does it make you feel.(i feel like doctor phil hahah!)
chained down by reality cut open by stress
So down to earth her wrist has a gashing crevis
So scared sad and confused a mess
She feels like everyone could care less
Black mascara and eyeliner running down her pale pink cheeks
Along with the tears of misery puring down like a stream
Red lipstick smeared across her thick lips
The same color as the blood running down her wrists
lieing on the cold linoleum floor
her dark hair across her face she has been here before
Her brown eyes filled with a pained __expression so far from dry
she knows she has to leave here this is her last cry
cracks open a bottle of toxic stuff poors it down her throat
falls down to the floor as her favorite band pumping through the speakers plays the last note
closes her eyes her brain turns off
her boyfriend comes home and he wants to scoff
Why because she looked so elegant in that black dress
with her pretty little face and dark makeup her black hair a mess
he holds her as tears fall from his face
One last time he kisses her ruby lips and can taste her beauty and grace!

Or, put another way, what do you most admire about your chosen church, synagogue, temple, Islamic center, etc? I've left this deliberately vague so it can mean the building itself, the people, their practices, or whatever aspect impresses you most or gives you the most pleasure.

If yes, please provide scripture that makes a DIRECT reference to this PARTICULAR situation.

If no, please explain why religious guys are so hesitant to express their love for each other like Jesus wanted. What is so terrible about two guy friends kissing or showing affection in other friendly ways?

What is the farthest you would go (what actions would you take) in expressing your love for your best friend of the same sex if you knew they would like it?

my Godmother went to see a play at the church. it was getting late so she decided to leave and go to work. on her way out she heard an angelic voice say, "Don't leave, your gonna get a rose." she listened to the voice and stayed there. then the priest started blessing several families for various reasons. then the priest went up to my Godmother and asked if her name was Maria. She said yes and then he gave her a rose. WOW!!! oh yeah...he son passed away about a year ago. my dad would play golf with his dad. they played more and even better after his passing. then there was this hole-in-one contest. the boy's dad was up to golf. right before he swung, a HUGE beautiful butterfly landed on his shoulder and wouldn't leave. he swung and made the hole-in-one. then the butterfly left. please tell me what you think of my two stories. i have more but ill tell you later.
