We all know by now that some radical homosexuals have attempted to take over the Catholic Church in North America.

Word is that some monastaries have become homosexual enclaves and in some churches radical homosexuals have taken the pulpit to change Christianity to accept homosexuality, and even marry two men or two women.

So the question is what are immoral lesbians and heterosexuals doing to divide the family, and prey on children ? If anything ?

Is it now part of the gay agenda to teach children to accept homosexuality, contrary to their religion?

Is this allowed by religious orders to dictate morality to their followers ?

Should any sin be allowed in a religion ? Is this not dicrimination ?

well just be honest -no name calling and stuff ok-thanks

"For by grace (undeserved favor) are you saved through faith(trust-"Faith commeth by hearing and hearing by the word of God-Romans 11:17)
"And that not of yourself, its the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8&9

get this you cant be too bad to get saved-and if you think your good enough to earn heaven-you will be in hell gnashin teeth forever (Revelation 19-22)

alot of religious self righteous people-who keep the law but break one point-are lawbreakers/sinners Jesus earned heaven-he has a ticket for you-but you can try it your way-maybe you think he lied-even about the bile "Heaven and earth shall pass away but not one of my words shall ever pass away."
-Revelation 22nd chapter - a curse it says to any one who would try and add to the bible-book of mormon/koran/Jewish talmid--Jesus ended it "Even so I will return"

I have read books that talk about reicarnation , it is a fascinating idea, some state that the reicarnation is actually mentioned in the bible several times. ( I know that majority of christians are going to go crazy hearing this ), for those that have studied reincarnation theories and diffrent religions can you educate me and show me the verses in the bible that talk about it?
thank you

"Obey the commands of your parents and God meticulously. Cultivate good behaviour. Then, everything will turn out to be good for you. Nothing will deter you. No difficulty will ever bother you.


It is only to enable you to put such good thoughts into practice that goddesses Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati are worshipped during these Dasara celebrations. Durga is not to be understood as a ferocious goddess. She is the goddess supreme who protects you.

Lakshmi is the embodiment of all wealth. Saraswati is the goddess of speech. Good thoughts, good words, and good actions (behaviour) represent the tattwa (nature) of these three goddesses. He who teaches good things to you is verily the embodiment of goddess Saraswati. He who teaches evil is verily a demon. Goddess Durga destroys only such demons. Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati are, in fact, not different from you. They are very much installed in your own heart. "

...It seems the only thing he fears in the bible. I guess it's not so easy just to smite one of those or send one to hell...ideas aren't too scared of lakes of fire, now are they? Hmmm..what if you got an idea about the existance of god. Almost makes you want to look up at the sky and say 'Owned'...I would do it now, but it just doesn't seem worth it when no one is up there to hear me. :(

I admire the amount of faith a lot of folks have on this forum. What gives you that faith...in your own words (not scripture)?

Thanks!

I asked a question if non-believers had rejected the Holy spirit and I am so amazed at the responses...from that question, I got accused of being arrogant, stupid, a druggie, etc..

Jesus said when He died He would not leave us comfortless. He sent His Holy Spirit to comfort us, convict us, encourage us.

When Jesus is knocking on your door He is sending His Holy Spirit
to save you and become His. How can I explain this experience?

he knocked on my door at age 29 (I am now 32)....I felt Him tugging on my heart...I felt wretched for the way I had been living...I knew I needed a Saviour. I asked Him to come in and he did. He forgave me of my sins and accepted me as His child.
What is arrogant or confusing about that?
I am so saddened by the naiveness of everyone.

I want to go to a church to meet some hot christian girl. I havent been to a church since I can remember and have no idea what happens inside. When you first show up are you supposed to do anything, sign in, or tell someone you there? ** Would it look weird if a guy went in there by himself. (honestly would it look weird) How much are you supposed to put in the bowl that is passed around? When inside, when is the best time to talk to people. How are you supposed to dress?

Do sperm cells have souls? How about convicted criminals? Coma patients? Murder is murder? Not a religious issue?
My religious and spiritual beliefs say that the soul doesn't enter the body until the moment of birth. And in the case of miscarriage or abortion, that same soul will return for the next child you bare. My son proved this to me! Now, how can you say it isn't a religious issue?
The body is simply a house for the soul.

Of course here I am speaking to real Pagans/Wiccans not the ones who come to play dress up or the ones who are still going to their Christian churches. I would love to live the perfect Wiccan life but have yet to find any coven/group/organization that actually practices this. Anyone else find it? What do you think?

YYou do realize that fetuses at the abortion stage have the consciousness of a lizard, they don't yearn for a future life, and if the could vocalize anything it would be I want food, re-connect me to the placenta. I can understand the cherishing of life, but if you cherish life so much, then you should never kill a living being, don't even take anti-biotics because that bacteria has a consciousness and potential, right?

I'm talking about religious zealots who think they have THE answer to existence. They know the ulitimate unknown. They know who created us and what happens in the afterlife. And if you're a religous zealot and your answe is "faith", explain faith to me. Where does this faith come from? When did you first find this faith? And why your religion over the countless others that have come before? The ones we can trace your's back to? Why does your book prove to you what happens to us when we die? Why do you believe a story told to you by your parents, that was told to them by their parents, and their parents? A story thousands and thousands of years old? A story that simple research will show beyond a shadow of a doubt has evolved since the dawn of mankind? I know what it's like to believe in something. I believe we are a part of something greater. But I don't claim to know it all like many of you do. I don't claim to have all the answers like some of you. What makes you feel you know it all
