i follow the teachings of christ and use the 10 comandments as a moral guide. but i do not believe most of the old and most of the new testaments are the word of god.
in the letters writen to the churches of god i see it as one man scolding them for not believing as he does.

Give me reasons that Christianity is a death cult. That is a cult that is based on death/destruction.

Sometimes, I feel I can't do ANYTHING right... I am lucky if my husband talks to me 20 min a day...with him being home from work... When we do communicate, he is walking around, doing things, typing at the computer etc.etc.etc... When I bring it up, he says " i did ask u how your day was." " but that wasn't good enough for you". I have brought up divorce something in which I really don't want, but he has even said more times then once that I am lucky that it says "divorce is sin", in the bible because he would have divorced me a long time ago... *( our 5 yr anniversery is coming up)*...How can someone TRUELY love you, if they says words like that? Why do men have to be so insensitive? Why did God create men with cold hearts? If we ever decided to divorce would we really go to hell? It says to love as christ loved the church... If there are any married men out there... who have GOOD marriages.. can you tell me what exactly that kind of love is?
p.s. we did marriage counseling.

I enjoy demonology and the study of religions in general.

Can anyone recommend a site and/or book that deals with demonology?

If nature is so complex it had to be designed by a god... then isn't god so complex it had to be designed by another god?
If we except that god simply has always simply existed... then maybe nature & the universe (in some form) has always just simply existed too, without the help of a god.

my question is non muslims know very little about islam. even the biography of prophet MOHAMMED is not read by non muslims. the basic tenets of christianity are known to even non christians also and several non christians also know the biography of JESUS as the christian missionaries through charity trusts, schools, hospitals, propagated it. if islamic scholors also propagate their religion by using all modern tools of communication, the biased opinion of non muslims would be vanished. i feel lack of authentic knowledge of islam and due to western media propaganda and the terrorists is causing damage to islam. my appeal to all islamic scholors to make known to the non muslims the basic tenets of islam.

Who thought it up ?
How do they really know it's # 4 ?
Why are Christians looking into the Spirit World when they are not to consort with Spirits ?
and, Do you think they should get the Bible Correct before moving on to any NEW Dimensions? Perhaps work on just being human instead of concerning themselves with these other things.

Lets help these Christian Brothers and Sisters and bring them back to reality.

Does anyone really know what a christian is. I want to know what people's view of what one is, or does without any criticism since everyone is supposed to be respectful ( or subject to report as abuse). People claim to be christians but it's not enough to just say you're a christian you have to actually grow in christ and do stuff. people who say "yeah i'm a christian, but i'm not one of those christians" are obviously not christians. And can the people who claim to have read the bible "seven times" tell me what they learned? What they really learned such as: what angels, animals, people are made of/ have. What happened in the earth that then was? What will happen in the future and eternity, bible doctrine on sin, reality of spiritual warfare, how to get rid of sin, moral law and moral government, scriptual proof of divine healing, benefits of the holy spirit, how jesus came to take the place of man to have us all redeemed if we choose him as savior.

It is not like the church hired me! I certainly don't get a paycheck! I know the verse in the Bible that talks about how men of God should have godly families, but godly does not mean perfect. Nor does it mean that a minister's wife should sing in the choir, teach a Sunday school class, bring the best dish to potluck, etc. I feel so plastic every Sunday, painting on my smile and pretending to be someone I'm not. I have tried to be myself, but all that got me was completely isolated, brought up before personnel committee meetings, my husband's job threatened, and some very rude comments. It is easier to just paint a smile on my face and pretend.

I can't make friends because they assume I am a stereotype, or I can't stand them because they are even worse at painting on their plastic smiles and pretending they are perfect. I am stuck in the middle. I think I am going to minister's wives hell, lol.

I feel isolated, and depressed. Do other minister's wives feel this way? Help?!

Dear Christian brothers,

i have been hearing that there are several Christian sects all over the world. Like Protestant, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran , Evangelical, etc.

What are the basic differences between them? Who are called the Orthodox? Are Mormons a different sect?

I ask this because I was invited to attend a service and a bible study at the place of meeting by a church worker. As we talked I discovered that some of their concepts are quite different from mine. I do see myself as a son of God having accepted Jesus as my savior just as the man said he did. Is it proper for me as a son of God to go to God"s house and then tell them there that they are not acting proper in My fathers house? The visitor said I could only go if I will accept their taught concepts and doctrines.

What do you think about this declared position of this church worker? Did he not say the truth when he said the place of worship is the house of God? His statement to me told me that their place ofworship and study was truly a house of man and not a house of God.

Can somebody please explain this religion. Do they believe in Jesus? Do they read a traditional bible. Why no holidays? I really am curious, so if I could get at least a few serious answers that would be great...

If any thing there has to be an absolute truth, and everyone is not right. If it's someone's way of life, they could be wrong. Like how mayans sacrificed and killed hundreds of people to make the sun come up - they're wrong, or if someone worshipped an oak tree. If I stood on a bench and said i was standing on a "pile of feathers" then everyone here would say that i'm right ( as an example). Everyone can't be right at the same time. Is there not a line of "respect" for one another's religion?

Hitler who by the way was not German, but Austrian, killed about 6 million Jews, Germans were not responsible. The question is in regard to wether it was a punishment as was the case for the Jewish people when the Egyptians enslaved them.
