Or, do you just mourn the ones you read about in the newspaper or see on tv?

For those who mourn for total strangers, doesn't mourning get a little pointless, tiresome & unproductive after awhile?

The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.
Those who know Your name trust in You,
for You, O Lord, have never abandoned anyone who searches for You.

You are both grounded until you can stop bickering and baiting each other like children.
At least children arent born judgemental, it takes fundie idiots to indoctrinate them like that!
Ever stop to think;"maybe we are both wrong"?
There are other people on this planet too, you know.
People who just want to get on with life without you lot blowing everything up.
People who have better things to do than argue about who "god" likes more.
Grow up!

Well, It Seems To Me That God Got Surprised Seeing Man's Heart Becoming That Naughty. It's like While Creating, He(God) Didn't Know That Man's Nature Would Turn Out To Be Really Bad. Please Tell Me Why He(God) Got So Concerned About Man, And Why, Rather Than Destroying Man Alone(Guilty), He Also Wanted To Destroy The Animals(Innocent). I Can't Understand That!

Prophesies of the Old Testament say that the father of Jesus must be the descendant of King David. Matthew and Luke both spend some time tracing the ancestry of Joseph to King David both are completely different but that’s just another contradiction and another question. But if the mistranslation Virgin Mary (actually Young Mary, easy mistake) is as true as Christians would have us belive then it means he has no connection with King David and so doesn’t satisfy the Old Prophesies. Please men of the cloth (not women as the bible considers you second class citizens) solve this for me.

Mothers love for their children is as close to Godly Love perhaps?What about Fatherly Love? Is there a gender related difference in the way love is expressed? Whaddya think?

John 15
The Vine and the Branches
1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17This is my command: Love each other.

It is my understanding that you think Jesus(God) is here on earth already is this correct? If so what is he doing? Why doesnt he make himself known to the general populace? And how can he stand to live amongst such violence,hatred,selfrightousness and blood shed and not take a more affirmative action? I dont mean to offend but in the old days he walked about preaching the word not just hanging out in complete silence.

My Grandmother passed about 6 months ago she was VERY old and so she passed away from natural causes... She was the only Christian in my family, and when i was little i would sleep over her house and go to church with her on Sundays, I dont know why, because it was always real boring for me, but i know God makes no mistakes i know i would go because he was preparing me for my future ( bringing my mother sister and stepdad) closer to God.
Recently I started having dreams with her. when i first dreamt with her i was spooked me because i was aware that she was dead and when i touched her she cold as if she was still dead but she was talking to me alive! last night i dreamt of her again, this time it was her in the image of how she was when i would sleep over (standing tall,beautiful,strong) again i was aware in my dream that she had passed away, but she was alive and extremely well, she only spoke to me though...

first the Adam & Eve thing went wrong.
then the whole Noah's Ark flooding era to wipe out the bad ones.
and then Jesus dying for our sins thing.
and today, the world is still in a mess.
God's track record is not looking too good based on these findings, don't you think?

More specifically what does it mean to you to take up your cross? What is your cross? Is it related to the scripture that says unless a seed fall to the ground and die it will bear no fruit?

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

That seems strange that God is telling us NOT to love. What is meant by this?
