What does it mean when your heart and soul rejoice and you feel like you radiate after taking Holy Communion devoutly, and prayerfully?

I feel sorry for the people who have this. Many don't go out in public and others commit suicide because of this condition(fish odor syndrome) .

She had a large inflamation in her intestines and it would have cost a lot of money to even find out what was really wrong with her. So the humane thing to do was to put her to sleep.

I'm soo confused about this. I know the Bible says that women cannot lead. And, being a women, I'm willing to follow that command, but i don't understand how people justify ordaining women as pastors. Believe me, I go to an Assemblies of God church, which also allows women pastors, so I'm not accusing.

Could you please tell me your views, along with your DENOMINATION?

If people were perfect, they wouldn't go to church. Why do people go to hospitals? Because they're sick. Same thing with church. At least my church...

Why do Catholics not follow after Peter's teachings if he indeed was their first Pope? Or is it just a matter of...that being history and time has passed and things have changed and you don't have to follow his teachings anymore?

Peter said everyone needs to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Not all catholics have the Holy Ghost, because tongues is given as proof to that and they don't speak in tongues.
Also, from what I know they don't baptize in Jesus name...but Peter said to baptize that way.

Not only that, but again...from what I've heard, Catholics pray to Mary and...other various dead people. Why? "Have no other God's before me" and other scriptures say that same thing, yet Catholics PRAY to dead people!
I know any catholic I've talked to in person cannot describe why they "believe" the way they believe, but they cannot be the first church as they say cuz they don't follow the ways of the first church in the bible.

God has offered christianity a plan of redemption and it works excellently and logically. What has the muslims on their side in the matter of the process of ensuring their certainity to the kind of salvation their "God" has for them? To them, its just total surrender. I can do that but if I have offended and sin against God, who is holy, can I come to him and ask Him to pardon my sin verbally and He in return say, you have done other good deeds and, thus, "I pardon you". That simple? Is that the character of God? Is sin not obnoxious? We can't tell God we're sorry today and sin against Him tomorrow and He continues to pardon us. The Koran is ignorant of the nature of sins and the consequences; it offers, instead, an easy route to salvation through good works. The God we know is not dependent upon one's good work but upon the acceptance of Jesus Christ by hearing(His teachings) believing Him, repenting of one's sins, confess that He is the Son of the Living God(His Diety) and bebaptize.

Im wondering why so many are so ignorant and believe the media and its mass demonization of the Islamic fath! its just more cause for violence! AHHHH.....

Why do you not attack Islamic posters with the same vigor as you attack Christians? We do not hang homos in the village square, or atheists or anyone else we disagree with. The threat Islam poses to your beliefs and safety is far worse than "evangelicals" ringing your doorbell or challenging the legitimacy of your sciences.

Anyone for a real discussion?

Hell and the suffering that is described in hell, as portrayed in Dhante Aligheni's "Inferno", Milton's "Paradise Lost", as described by St. Augustus, and as described in Revelations written by John Of Aquas, are all man made interpretations of what is to be experienced in hell. The Christian church thrived during the middle ages on "hellfire and brimstone" preachers who used the written descriptions to scare people into obeying there mandates.
For someone of the Christian faith to brow beat another participant with the "if you don't except Jesus you will burn in hell" rhetoric is not only childish, I find it severly pedantic. If one does not believe that God would send his children to hell, then this threat has absolutely zero overall effect to the person at whom you are hurling hell.
My conjecture is this, without hell, and the threat of hell, would Christianity have survived as a religion? Why do people have to be threatened with punishment just to be kind to their fellow man?

I think it would pop up again in a short period of time for two reasons.

1) People are instinctually fearful. The greatest fear is death, and there will always be someone who will try to prey on that fear, exploit it, and make a profit off of it - ergo religions.

2) Humans are obsessively curious, creative, and EGOTISTICAL. If we can't figure out the real reason why something is, we will happily invent one, if for no other reason than to say, "it's because of this." Few people can live with the concept of, "I just don't know."

What do you think?

Here I am To Worship


Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Open my eyes let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with you

Here I am to Worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that your my God
Your altogether Lovely
altogether worthy
altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exualted
glorius in heaven above
humbly you came to the
earth you created
all for love sake became poor

I'll never know
how much it cost
to see my sin upon that cross


Song number 2

Give Us Clean Hands

we bow our hearts
we bend our knees
oh spirt come make us humble
we turn our eyes
from evil things
oh lord we cast down our idols

Give us clean hands
give us pure hearts
let us not lift our souls to another
oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
that seeks your face
oh God of Jacob.

I'm just curious.
I've read a lot on Yahoo Answers - of people losing loved ones, and seeking any way to get them back - including love spells and the like.
Generally the only responses posted come from people saying "why would you want someone to come back to you if they'd been forced into it" etc etc - and much ruder answers about people's heartbreak also.
You never hear the other side of the story - if there is one?
I would just like to hear from some 'pro-love spell' types (ie. witches I guess) to hear how they justify this side of things.

If you think we are terrorist because our militant bombard everywhere, how could you explain Israel act on Palestine? Or Americans on Afghan? Is it just the "Under Law Terrorism" or "Legalized Terrorism"?
