God bringing you into existence or God sending His only son from heaven to give all humanity the possibility of eternal salvation.

Please include in your answer your reasoning for it.

I'm asking this because I haven't been able to answer this question for myself.

Thanks in advance.

i know god loves me but some times i question whether he created us all. Those guilty of any sin must be judged by a righteous judge that don't let the guilty go free like a corrupt judge might. ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. You can't save yourself. You can't undo your past sin. Your efforts to be a good person are as filthy rags to God. ALL have fallen short.

You remember Mr. Edwards don't you?
Author of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"

--Their foot shall slide in due time.--
Deuteronomy 32:35

He'd have my vote.

I think most Christians will agree that we go through phases. Depending on our schema at the time different verses tend to captivate us. My personal favorite right now is Jeremiah 29:13 because it reminds me of what i'm trying to work towards. Earlier in my life when I was having trouble with doubts my favorite was Isaiah 30:21 (for obvious reasons). So depending on circumstances, everyone's is different..........what's yours?

Okay so it's Friday and I thought I'd steer clear of my other questions genre (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjPI1Zd8gRRKD_Yrkd5BZGfsy6IX?qid=20061110095919AAlF9pO
and ask this:

What is the one thing that you do/have done that is super embarrassing? Something maybe loser-ish or something that you want to share?

I am a huge sap and have cried over movies (NOTEBOOK) books, songs. But I think the worst that my friends laugh at me about is that I actually have cried over a Pampers Commercial. I know I know, but it was all these baby animals sticking close to their moms and "Forever Young" song playing. That made me cry! Even CIBC (bank) commercial has made me cry!

So was your loser / embarrassing moment?

Good weekend to all!

The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?

2. Where did matter come from?

3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?

4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?

5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?

6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?

7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?

8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?

9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)

10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)

11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?

12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?

13. When, where, why, and how did: a) Single-celled plants become multicelled? (Where are the two- and threecelled intermediates?) b) Single-celled animals evolve? c) Fish change to amphibians? d) Amphibians change to reptiles? e) Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?

14. When, where, why, how, and from what did: a) Whales evolve? b) Sea horses evolve? c) Bats evolve? d) Eyes evolve? e) Ears evolve? f) Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?

15. Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)? a) The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)? b) The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce? c) The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs? d) DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts? e) The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose? f) The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants? g) The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones? h) The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system? i) The immune system or the need for it?

I am 32. I have been to church all my life but my family did it out of more how it looked to the community. I have lost a lot since becoming an adult. I was married when i was 18, but that ended in divorce due to severe verbal and physical abuse. I left after 9 years of it. I took with me my beautiful daughter. I am remarried now to a wonderful man. He said that he was a devout Christian when we first met. He has not been to church or opened a bible in the 3 years we have been together. I am so wanting God in my life but have no way to get to a church. I was told that i did not have to go to church to have God in my life. My husband says that i am way beyond help of God. I have 3 tattoos, am a recovering alcoholic. I so want to study the word of God and have him in my life. Is there anyone out there that can help put me on the right path?

Hey, I'm going to belgium next week and someone that, admittedly I don't completely trust, has told me that there is a religious symbols ban in in Belgium, which means that you can't wear a hijab or burka, or jilbab, or whatever you know it by. I was wondering if this is true? She said that if you wear a burka there, then you could get arrested, which sounds a bit extreme to me... I thought it was just in schools you couldn't have religious symbols.

I still believe in God but I can see now that the bible is just a bunch of stories and misunderstandings.

There are many things in the bible which I believe may have seen as Godly events and happenings but which in todays world can easily be explained and understood.

If tomorow it started to rain for 40 days and 40 nights and a large area of land happened to flood would you balme it on god getting revenge on the people of earth or would you look on the weather and see that the current conditions in the atmosphere were causing the rain to fall?

If a woman said she was pregnant but never had sex would you think she was having the son of god or do you think she had been sleeping with someone else behind her husbands back?

Jeremiah 4:16. The Prophet Jeremiah referred to the spirit world as A FAR COUNTRY.
WE have always been among you. To see and hear with our own EYES and EARS, how your words and behaviour affect those around you.
Did you help, or corrupt those around you? So WE may be a TRUE Testimony unto
you on the Day of Judgement.
Your world is about to go through a major physical/spiritual upheaval. It is not yet the
time of Judgement. Many will receive a great reward, for helping others to face this
bravely. And many will fall into miserable states of spiritual unawareness.
"Those who lead into captivity, will go into captivity!"
Now is not the time to be PLAYING around!

about religion? If you don't want to hear about religion, don't go to the religion and spirituality section, just stick to the cooking and gardening section.

I couldn't sleep last night, and early in the mornings...around 3 a.m. or so, is when most of the Evangelists come on t.v. I was flipping through the channels, and looked at about three or four different shows, and noticed things that just didn't seem right. Two of the Evangelists wanted people to call in and buy their books on how to be successful and receive wealth and prosperity "through God." Others wanted people to call in, and purchase their DVD's, tapes, etc. But, what REALLY got me was one Evangelist, who actually wanted people to place orders, and pay money to buy towels, or scarves (can't remember what), that had been dipped in "holy water." Why on earth do they want people to pay for a towel dipped in holy water? I know that they might need money to keep their show on the air, or something of that nature, but that seemed a bit ridiculous. Have any of you seen this? I am not trying to judge, but are many of these people fakes???

I looking for a meaningful scene that relates to Christan Scriptures. For example, in the Matrix Revolution when Neo died he was positioned like if he was crucified. He gave his life to save the life of others.

Thist statement was made by another Y!A user. If this were the truth, why did God make a varying sets of rules for different religions? And each one states his is the true one. Is there some miscommunication going on or what?

to be just a matter of time? Overcome your karmic fate by many life times and Jesus saves you from undergoing the same torture because your will is align to his. What he had done you have done. Is this not the real meaning of Jesus saves? But you have to carry your own cross(karma) first?

We have came across in Christianity saying that idol worshipers go to hell and such.
Non Christians will go to hell and etc...

I came across in a rescent time by one preecher from Scotland asking me whether i would wanna convert, after awhile i chased him away.
Why are such people making a fool of themselve, what rights have they got to fabricate things like Bhuddist,Taoist and Hindus will go to hell and etc...
In the very first place they can"t even seem to have a clear idea on the marital status of Jesus, secondly one whom claimed to be a prostitute is now known to be a wife of his,
whats happening?
all this while were all the so call teachings frauds and fabrication , they can"t even give an absolute answers for this,
why still go around preeching ?
is it for the 10% donation for life $$$
or is their motive on a selfish means to have more manpower in their faith,
Why Hypnotise one ?
Jesus might be a nice person, but their present followers arnt ,coz they are selfish
