before you answer.. when i say missions i mean spreading the light of Gods word to the lost both here in the states and over seas.

think about this verse: "if you love your family mre than me you are not worthy of me"

are we christians willing to make family sacrifice to following Gods callign? or do we just leave it up to the single people to become involved in missions.?

i ask this because... i have been a missionary for two years now and i have been to numerous countries... i do see some families from the us that moved overseas because they felt God calling them there.. tyhen i met others who live in another country while their wife, kids,etc. are back in the states.

they got into missions because God called them ...

in away christians are called to be missionaries(not thw world view of missionaries) but the biblical view.. it is all described in the Great commission. where christians are supposee to go into all the world and preach the Gosple.

Is it okay for me to teach my younger cousin magick?

Nothing big! Just simple charms and candle magick. She's 10 years old and has been asking me to teach her for some time now. I have already told her about not using it for harm if I do teach her. I have even stressed keeping it a secret from her friends. I have also taught her TONS of things about dragons. But I have never taught her magick because I don't know if I should. She has never told any of the things I taught her to others, not even her parents.

What do you think? Should I teach her? Should I make her swear an oath of secrecy? Have I already told her too much? Is she too young?

I would appreciate it if people wouldn't use any rude remarks when answering my questions.

Thanks!

I found it annoying why the Seventh Day have grudges over Catholic only? Why not other religions like: Baptist, Mornons, Jehovah's and others?

Dear Christian friends, if Satan held the keys to Heaven and the price of loving God was eternal damnation who would you love and serve?

How is it not shallow and petty to choose to believe what you do not believe out of fear of hell and lust for heaven?

thay cannot forgive or reconcile with their parents?

at d old students re-union i was surprised at the number of women who had a grudge against their mothers and the number who men who blamed their parents for their misery.

there was a woman who felt that her parents had squashed all her dreams when they paid for her brother's medical education. they had no money left for her, so she had to work for a living just after high school. the brother has moved on and now she has to look after her parents single handedly. she is glad she has them, but always wishes that they had paid for her education. as as kid she always wanted to give them a big house and happiness.

then there were people whose parents had seperated when they were small. they never had a parent, and have not been able to forgive the parent that brought them up for creating the vaccum in their lives.

the question is: with so much bitterness against their parents, will they ever be able to make it to heaven??

Are people afraid that if humans can do all the things God can do less people will believe in him
shouldnt we push forward and see what we humans are capable of.

That is basically what the Bible says is going to happen to all of the imperfect "so-called" children of God? Who wrote this book and set of rules anyway? It says so in the Bible, right? Personally, I will not follow a silly book designed to keep pillagers off villagers. I believe in God, but not the silly, unthinkable crap in the Bible. Anyone else agree? And can you holier than though bible thumpers tell me why you disagree in a nice, polite way? Using your own brain and not quoting all these paragraphs with numbers? LOL!

All religions believe they have the absolute truth. How do you
know when you have it? If God wants us to serve Him, why doesn't he manifest which religion has the absolute truth? Since He has not done that, is it logical to conclude that no one has the "truth"? I thought He is not a God of confusion.

Dear Concerned Student:

I am not allowed in schools.

Sincerely,

God

------------------------------

How did this get started?...

-----------------
Let's see,
I think it started when Madelie Murray O'hare
complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools.

And we said, OK.

------------------

Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school,
the Bible that says "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbors as yourself,"

And we said, OK...

-----------------

Dr. Benjamin Spock said
we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehaved because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.

And we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we won't spank them anymore..

------------------

Then someone said
teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave.
And the school administrators said no faculty member in this school
better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity,
and we surely don't want to be sued.

And we accepted their reasoning...

------------------

Then someone said,
let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won't even have to tell their parents.

And we said, that's a grand idea...

------------------

Then some wise school board member said,
since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want,
so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.

And we said, that's another great idea...

------------------

Then some of our top elected officials said
it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.

And we said,
it doesn't matter what anybody, including the President, does in private as long as we have jobs
and the economy is good....

------------------

And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children
and then stepped further still by making them available on the Internet.

And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech....

------------------

And the entertainment industry said,
let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence and illicit sex...
And let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...

And we said,
it's just entertainment and it has no adverse effect and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.

------------------

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.

------------------

Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, we could figure it out. I'm sure it has a great deal to do with...

"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,"

I keep hearing people say I'm a christian, but they don't go to church or anything. Other people say they're catholic or whatever, but they stop short of saying they're christian.

Can someone be catholic, methodist, etc and not be a christian?

Everyone is an INDIVIDUAL. There are good christians and bad christians. There are ALSO good atheists and bad atheists. Why are atheists so judgemental and view christians collectively as ONE WHOLE GROUP? A "group" is made up of "members" ~ and members are INDIVIDUALS....
