I have always wondered about why do Christians think that Jesus had to die to "enable" God to forgive their sins. Now I read this Bible verse about this issue:

"In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22)

In contrast the Quran says: "Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good;- And those who, having done something to be ashamed of, or wronged their own souls, earnestly bring Allah to mind, and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah.- and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done. For such the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath,- an eternal dwelling: How excellent a recompense for those who work (and strive)!"(3:134-136)

Which of the concepts is better?

A few hours ago I filled up my car at $2.07 a gallon. I thanked God profusely. When I bought my first car, in 1972, I could fill it up for $3.00. Those were the days.

Shouldn't they raise the money before building. Isn't it God's will to be debt free. If so why are Churches so hypocritical when it comes to money. In my opinion the church has become so materialistic just like the American culture

Ned Flanders: Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins the movie by telling you how it ends. Well, I say there are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Matthew 19:19 "....Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

Exodus 20:17
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

Now, the way I love myself is, of course I am sure the way most everyone else loves themself when they get aroused and in the mood. And the bible clearly tells me to do this to my neighbor as Matthew says. Therefore, should I go next door and love my fine female neighbor and love her as myself?

like AFFLICTED=16612932054=39 =12=3=C
so
COUSIN translates to AFFLICTEDOUSIN where O=head.
so for all time COUSIN was a name not allright with EX.22.22
So bear your shame.

The reason I ask is that I have seen resposes such as this from mostly Christians on this site: "Why are you here? If you don't believe in God (or Jesus) then get off the R&S board".

Last I checked, "religion" meant a belief system. There are 1000's of belief systems in the world (if not more). Even ATHEISM is a belief system whereas there is a belief that there is no creator deity or higher power.

Furthermore, "spirituality" is:

1. the quality or fact of being spiritual.
2. incorporeal or immaterial nature.
3. predominantly spiritual character as shown in thought, life, etc.; spiritual tendency or tone.

Spirituality, as well as religion, is not limited to only one particular belief system (i.e. Christianity).

I see alot of activity on this forum from what appears to be US citizens (therefore they are working during the daytime like me). If you are an employee drawing an hourly wage you have given your word to your employer that you will work 8 hours for 8 hours pay in return.

If the employee spends 30 minutes or so a day on Yahoo answers forum while on the clock is this not embezzlement. This is no different than doctoring the pay clock to show that you were working at a time when you were not.

Oh, yeah lest you say I'm a pot calling the kettle black, I own my business and am the employer.

Just something I think should be considered. It is my responsibility to live up to my word to compensate my employees as I have promised and likewise it is my employees responsibility to live up to their word to provide work for that compensation.

I know many will rationalize what they do, but if you don't feel your boss is fair then you need to get another job.

I've heard of having an accountability partner, in which you fellowship with someone (a really close friend in Christ) and talk about all your problems and troubles.

I don't have an accountability partner; is it necessary that I have one?
