i was really sleepy and just prayed as a habit. then i had this nightmare; where i found a ghost... ( she looked like the ghost in the ring or the grudge) hanging at someone. then she ran to me. but at the end of the dream, i found she changed to a nice pretty girl. i think i've ever seen the part when i found her hanging at someone's shoulders. and the 2nd dream, i was sleeping with my mom and someone that i don't know. out there, outside my room, there was a ghost who looked like a human, ready to kill everyone who found her. i a bit forget, but i think i was holding a light in the bedroom. i don't know why.in the dream, i saw her and i held her hand...,, but she looked okay, except her ghost face. then i was confused between ran to the room or just kept silence and read to be killed.
then.... my alarm rang and i woke up. but i didn't feel scared like if i had nightmares...
do you know what does it mean??
btw, my shoulders are hurt.... (remember, the hanging ghost)

that mankind shouldn't exist>? humanity is ruining the earth, and sooner or later, they'll break the barrier between the worlds and start atacking my people! humans think they do good thing, and some of them do, really, and i thank them for doing greater good, but others, and that includes most world leaders are just plain destructive, earth is not a playground which you can destroy and create, sure ya can destroy it, but what would that leave you? i'm asking all those that read this, be kind to what you have, and treasure it the most, try not to use more than is strictly necessary, unite and work togather! Light Love and Peace!

We have two ultimate choices, no? We either value life with a hopeful attitude or despise life with a miserable attitude, no? So God knows if we would prefer eternal life or to cease to exist, right? Knowing what we want and the end we get it. Perhaps God wants us to realize what we really want first, no? My belief is that God in some form does control our life, yet miracuously we'll always get what we'd prefer, depending on our attitude towards life. I believe it's our attitude that God doesn't have control over unless you let him. Sure he knew what your attitude would be, but why not simply enjoy yourself? Does a monkey complain that he is a monkey and has to do what his insticts tell it to do or else it'll die? Come to think of it, I wonder if God's existance even makes any difference with such tehology. That's why i'm agnostic yet i'm thinking of being an atheist, what do you think?

In our Judeo-Christian society, the documents collectively known as the Bible serve as the primary guide on most issues. It is interesting that many Christians take literally the references to homosexual acts, while interpreting other text with great flexibility. One person reported listening to a nationally-known woman speak in her campaign against homosexuality. She spent quite a bit of time quoting impressively from Leviticus. The listener accepted much of what the speaker said until he realized that, by Levitical standards, the crusader herself had broken many biblical laws – she spoke in church (1 Corinthians 14:34), she taught men (1 Timothy 2:12), she was wearing a dress made of cotton and polyester (Deuteronomy 22:11), and others of which he was probably unaware.

What does the Bible really say about homosexuality? Actually, very little. Most significantly, Jesus said nothing at all. Considering the relatively small amount of attention the Bible pays to the subject, we must ask ourselves why this is such a volatile issue. Other subjects about which the scriptures say a great deal (e.g. judgment, pride, hypocrisy) receive much less passionate attention. Before looking at specific passages, it is important to note that everyone understands the scriptures based on, and through, the light of what they have been taught. The Bible was not written in a cultural void, and many of its instructions and laws are simply classified as less relevant today (e.g. prohibition against eating pork).

Nowhere does the Bible actually address the idea of persons being lesbian or gay. The statements are, without exception, directed to certain homosexual acts. Early writers had no understanding of homosexuality as a psychosexual orientation. That truth is a relatively recent discovery. The biblical authors were referring to homosexual acts performed by persons they assumed were heterosexuals.

why is the quran filled with stories plagarised from religions such as hindu, judaism, zorastrianism, and paganism? now dont tell me that those other religions copied from quran because bible, gita, and avisan vendidad was written long before the advent of islam.
if islam is a pure faith why does it contain so much copied stuff from other religious books? dont muslims realize that authentic means original ideas and not copied from other books?

I have so many questions that i'm pondering about. After reading them, you can give me your advice.

Are are we physical beings called souls (human souls are of flesh and bone as Jesus had even after resurrection)? Doesn't Jesus want to give us eternal life because he loves us and we lost it through Adam? We have not Eternal Life of our own, but from God, No? Isn't what's most important to God that you have an attitude of value towards an eternal life of peace? If you believe in the resurrection, why would you assume death has had victory? In order for death to have victory, don't we have to lack value of life and God won't force us to live again? God will erase from existance those who didn't want to live because they had no faith that their attitude could be changed? Why is it that when someone get's hurt that they join forces with evil and go down to ther other person's level? Why let evil people cause us to change attitude?

The KJB, I heard, is the closest thing to the greek transcripts so why did they change up so much in the NIV and the other new versions. It's easy to read but they took out and added some stuff.

Take John 3:16(yes the most popular verse)

KJB: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

NIV: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Notice how the NIV version says that Jesus was God's only version but the KJB version says otherwise. Aren't we all of God's sons and daughters? Wasn't Adam also God's son?

Never be afraid to defend our faith, the atheist (organized type) will do their best to lie and call the bible a lie, they do their best to give the impression God doesn't exist (even when they have no evidence) they distort the bible, God's word ...but do as Paul said...be ready to give an answer. Remember they have nothing but lie's and distortion. They are doing nothing but giving comfort to themselves as a child sucks it's thumb...hopeing there is no God, they don't have the facts to support their twisted ideas..just lies!

Have a Great Day...and God Bless You?

i was baptised as a Christian but i never felt the need to pray although i've been through rough periods in my life.as a child when we learned of the christian ideology i always had questions which nobody could answer.i respect religion,but i don't believe in my religion.i think christians are shallow and they consider themselves superior to other religions by saying that christianity is the true religion.if i change my religion does that mean that i'm a bad person or that i hurt my family?what should i do?when we celebrate Easter or Christmas i don't feel anything special.i want to know what you think.Is there anyone who feels the same?Have you ever had doubts concerning your faith?

Let me explain,to be able to produce large amounts of food from a small amount ,to be able to control the bodys functions with thought and sustain the body.Even to heal the body through thoughts.

The buddha boy of nepal is able to control his sweat and not eat for months or in some cases years ,keeping the body alive through an inner process and or a spiritual source.

I'm talking about people that over eat, and have an addiction to food, are obese, but follow a christian lifestyle. Aren't they killing themselves slowly? Isn't it also a sin to slowly commit suicide?Most of them don't even consider themselves gluttons, so they don't even consider repenting their sins to god. Why would those people zoom up to heaven faster than other people that are condemned to be sinners by the church? I'm not meaning any disrespect, I'm just curious.
