God wants a family, and he created you to be a part of it.
The entire Bible is the story of God building a family who will love him, honor him, and reign with him forever.
It says,
"His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure" (Ephesians 1:5)

It's an appiontment, it pleasing to God, So perhaps I'll see you in Church as part of God's family?

I think death would be a unique experience, knowing that I'm not actually going to die, I think I just might. What about you?

Hunting is killing for fun, like a hobby, so why do churches give hunters special weeknight services during hunting season? They're killing for pleasure!

Is the world imperfect.
There is a direct relation, a fatal and mathematical one, between the work and the artificier. As you know a tree by it's fruit, you will know a craftsman by his works.

The world is a beautiful place. I'm the first to admit that. However, NO one would ever say that the world is a perfect place.
If I were to read a book filled with spelling errors, grammatical mistakes, sentences that are poor and the style neglected, where the ideas are common and quotes incorrect, I would certainly not attribute that ugly work to a master of literature now would I?

The same goes for the universe. It is an imperfect place, and it always has been.
Perfection can never determine imperfection. Period.

The world is imperfect because it is a natural thing, free of any supernatural influence. Which is good since the supernatural only exists in the imagination of those too stupid to understand reality.

For as long as Christmas has been celebrated in December by Roman Catholics, along with those who follow their beliefs, Greek, Russian, and other Eastern Orthodox churches hold it in January. This is what caused the split in the church. Could they have been right and the rest of Christendom should have followed their example rather than Rome? Are they harming their children by not following the lead of the Roman Catholic Church, like all other religions, in giving gifts in December?

Recently its been in the news about a christian who went to iraq and was captured by terrorists. They killed the others he was with but he was rescued. Now they have arrested the terrorists but the christan man refuses to stand against them in court because he says he 'forgives them'. What you do you think about this?

I personally respect his right to his beliefs but by allowing these men to go free they could kill others, also its not his place to forgive what they did to other people.

Any thoughts?

I know that not all the people around the world believe in God but doesn't that phrase seem too selfish?

Anyone else drinking religeous-related drinks?

1 John 5:7--"For there are three that testify." A few very late manuscripts add in heaven—the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one."
Bible manuscripts that were written prior to the Eleventh Century C.E (A.D.) read quite differently. So, it appears as though this verse was changed about 1,000 years after John penned it by someone who wanted to provide scriptural backing to the Trinity doctrine.
When reading John the Fifth Chapter, the three witness-bearers are the water (baptism), the Breath (Gr. pneuma – the Breath of God), and the (shed) blood (of Jesus). Changing the water, the Breath, and the blood to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost would make the rest of what John wrote illogical; so that rendering is totaly false.

ok ok this is a serious question so please respect it, no matter what you believe(it doesn't really apply to this question). don't you think we should be spending our time trying to make this life better, instead of fighting, because in the end this may be the only one? to me it makes it seem like this life is more special and we are more beautiful..*if* it's the only one. call it whatever you will, but i don't think we're doing a good job with our responsibilities.

I was just at the grocery store and saw the little screen they have which has a news ticker running and I thought I saw where the Dutch government wants to outlaw the wearing of Birkas in public.
Why in the world would they want to do that? Did I really see that?

Like calling it 'Winterval' in case it insults other religions or not having 'Happy Christmas' written in the card but like, 'happy holidays' or 'seasons greetings' instead.
It annoys me, I can't see how it'll insult other religions but I can see how it insults Christians.

Anybody who is a Christian or otherwise, take note of the attitudes of all represented in the Religion and Spirituality questions. Who is showing hatred, intolerance, disrepect, bitterness, sarcasm, a cynical attitude and using fowl language? Who are the ones with a cheerful, loving, forgiving, confident, and peace-loving attitude in general? Some may fit in-between (make up your mind, don't cuss and call yourselves Christians!) but as a rule or a majority, what have we witnessed going on here? A real attitude to learn or be a reasonable ambassador for the God (or demons) we serve or just foolishness to debate for debate's sake and to be "right". Consider who each represents, God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost or other gods including themselves which is idolatry/witchcraft/stubborness/satanic servanthood while considering the most important questions in life. Looks obvious to me!
