I don't get it. Shouldn't God provide everything the church needs and thus money should be a non-issue. And if you subscribe to the notion that members should pay the 10% of their income is this revenue or net-income after taxes and expenses?

And if you lose money or are in debt, shouldn't they owe you money?

I know someone who was financially strapped, yet they kept paying the church when they didn't have any money and were on the verge of bankruptcy. They're out of the whole now, but things are still tight.

If they had held onto their money they would be much better off financially.

God made the rule of duplication, everything will reproduce their own kind, we cannot cross one animal with a different kind and get something new. This is the guarantee you have when two people reproduce, the result won't be a 9Lb bass. So what are your thoughts on God's guarantee for reproducing the animals, plants, etc.?

I love Jesus, He is my Savior.

He is the reason I am drug free.

He is the reason have all A's and B's.

He is the reason I am willing to give effort.

He is the reason I am still breathing.

Will someone please give me some encouraging stories, maybe a prayer so that some of my friends can see the light?

Maybe even an "I love Jesus as well"

Maybe Nietzsche had something with his views about the "slave moralities" of religion. All religions slow down human progress, maybe Christianty and Judaism a little less, but neverthless they still do as well.

Why do the meek get to inherit the earth? Seriously, it sounds like God is some jealous beatnick in the corner of the classroom daydreaming about the "jocks getting there due".

Proverbs 14
12 There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.

I think we will have bodies, so we will be able to eat, as Christ did after the resurrection. But I think we will not have to eat. The resurrection body will live off the soul and the soul off God. As we are now, our bodies are dependent on what is less than they are, subsidies from nature; and our souls are dependent on what is less than they are, our bodies (if our brains are damaged, we cannot think well). This situation of being hostage to our inferiors must be reversed. Perhaps the matter of which the resurrection body will be composed will not have separate atoms and molecules (and so will be indestructible). Perhaps our bodies will not have separate organs and systems, but the body as a whole, or the whole soul in the whole body, will perform all of its operations. But of course this is pure speculation.

I think so. Powers that are now largely denied us, for our own safety, will be restored to us when we have learned to use them well. When our souls follow the will of God like orchestra players follow the baton of their conductor, then we will play in harmony. But just imagine what havoc God would allow if he gave us preternatural powers over nature in our fallen condition!

It is not a fire pit.
Some of the objects in the pit are bones, and cloth, a candle stub, and a half empty bottle of rum.

Ok 2 commandments confuse me 1. You shall have no gods before me. 2.You shall not make yourself into a god. Isnt it the same because worshiping yourself and others worshiping you would disobey both. so are those commandments the same making it 9 commandments or am i completely wrong and they have nothing to do with each other?

Secularists like to argue that America from its founding era was never a "Christian nation"...

But if Christian influence on abortion, marriage, prayer in schools, religious expression by government officials in public office, religious symbols in public buildings, tax-supported religiously-based public efforts, etc. is all it takes for secularists to declare the US is becoming a "theocracy"---

WHY then, do these same secularists not admit that America from its very beginning was ALSO a "theocracy" -- when abortion and gay "marriage" would have been unthinkable -- when prayer in schools was more than just a reality, when overt and unabashed religious expression by government officials in public office took place, when religious symbols in public buildings was commonplace, and where state-level governments even used tax dollars to purchase bibles for students?

Can anyone explain the apparent duplicity in that?

If he knows everything that has, is, and will happen, then he would've known that Adam and Eve were going to eat the fruit of knowledge. This also symbolizes a question of all time: if god knows everything that will happen, and everything that will happen to you, how much free will do we really have, if something out there knows everything we will do?

Scripture tells us there will be "a new heaven [that is, sky] and a new earth" (Rev. 21:1). If we have a new body, we need a new Earth: bodies are not for drifting in empty space. And if a world, why a dead world, like the moon, rather than a world brimming with life, like this Earth? I think we will have a much more intimate relationship with nature than we do now, not less. I think the images of the nature mystics and pantheist poets are almost right, but as prophecy: In the heavenly future we will get inside the secret of life that we now stare at as outsiders.
C. S. Lewis suggests, in his great sermon "The Weight of Glory," that the reason we have peopled the Earth with gods and goddesses is so that these projections of ours can do what we long to do but cannot do, or at least cannot do yet: touch the inner secret of the beauty we see in nature. "But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumor that it will not always be so. Some day, God willing,we will get in"

Why didn't Jesus write His own Gospel of what He actually said?

It is said that all the writings in the New Testament were inspired by the holy spirit, to explain all the writings as truth and so that people would believe them!!

The exact words of Jesus are believable, but do we have them today? Jesus did not write his own gospel?

Everything in the scriptures is taken in blind faith and blind obediance.

I respect and accept those that choose to believe the scriptures, but they do not have all they're information straight from the source!!

I think not. Christ still had his wounds. But they were badges of glory, not suffering and sadness. I think everything—in the body, in the soul, and in the person's world—that was offered to God and taken up into the eternal kingdom will be preserved and transformed and glorified in Heaven: but everything that was not—everything that was not the work of God or of the sanctified soul but was of the world, the flesh, or the devil—will be left outside Heaven's gate. The martyrs' wounds will glow like gold, but the amputee's limb will be restored, and so will the brain-damaged person's intelligence. God's justice and mercy are perfect, and so is his style.
