originals (they are lost to time), and over 150 people have had a hand in in creating the present day bible (some of them not very nice people), how close to the original writtings do you think it might be?

Does Israel own Jerusalem?
How about Palestine?
What about the Christians?

So many wars are fought over this chunk of land, who should own it? Should anyone?

I have free will to hire someone. "IF" I hire her, where does god fit in? What if she prayed for the job? She got the job because of "MY" free will. So, God works for me, right?

Don't forget all that compassion you religious folks talk about when you answer this question....and don't forget God loves me just as much as he loves you, probably more!!! (See you all in heaven and we can ask the big guy together)

Everyone has faith, whether you believe in God created the world or science did. You have faith. Faith in the scientists because you respect them highly you believe they are right. The big bang theory is what ur faith is. If you believe God created us for a purpose that's also faith. It just depends on who u have faith in. This is why we can't convert eachother we aren't even on the same frequency. SHALOM!

Think about it. Mary was the mother of Jesus and Jesus was considered the "Lamb of God". Is this childhood song a secret way for christians to teach children about Christ?

We have a Jehovah's witness child in our elementary school class. He does not celebrate any holidays. The problem lies during special times such as music, art and library when the teachers are doing holiday based lessons. It seems so unfair to this kindergarten child to be pulled from these activities or to the other children if we eliminate them. Could anyone shed some light on what others have done in this situation. It is so frustrating for all.

I feel that children should not be separated by their parents' religious belief at that age, and it will be very divisive for a pluralistic society.

What is wrong with people? These are easily-researchable facts. This is the same response I would get when I asked my very religious parents about anything related to religion when I was growing up -- always a rigid, dogmatic lack of consideration of any data. What makes people so rigid and unwilling to reconsider ANYTHING?

Is it allowed or not? Last time I heard, it wasn't, but I'm not completely sure. There's this quote in the Bible that says that if someone slaps your cheek, you should offer them your other cheek, or something like that. Personally, I think that this isn't very practical...

I am in the understanding that to be dead in the bible can mean two things. Physically dead or spiritually dead. When someone is spiritually dead (but not physically) they still have their five senses, but that is all they use to see, hear, understand, ect. I am looking for some evidence in the Bible that is very clear that the person going to hell is physically dead, not just spiritually. And just because it is talking about a pit, doesn't mean it is somewhere else then earth, this place can be a pit. And its reference to being down somewhere can mean earth too. Jesus came down from heaven. Please try to stay away from proving one has to die physically inorder to go down unless it makes sense of course.

I used to work for a minister& was fired.We had an Unemployment hearing today& she boldly lied in court.I mean,I'm really flabbergasted.I expected her husband to lie,but not her.I'm so taken aback that I feel I must repent for her flock as she is a minister leading a group of saints.I feel so terribly.It makes me not want to go to church.I know all ministers aren't like that,but I'm really disturbed.My spirit is so hurt b/c before she fired me she told me that it wasn't her fault that the Lord chooses to bless her more than he blesses me,that the Lord gave her a Mercedes & me a mini-van,& He gave her,her own company & I don't have mine.But honestly, none of that is really important to me,I'm thankful for what I have &I know my heart is pure,Please I ask that you pray for me that I won't allow this to affect my views of all ministers.I know the judge saw thru her lies in my coworkers case b/c he didn't need my testimony,do you think he saw thru her in my case?We were fired @ same time

I am ready to open my cemetary I have created....it will only be for cremated remains and headstones or markers is a free for all...no restrictions...bikers can have their tank....sportman their favorite team helmet...ect.
This is non denomination resting place....it'll be on a monthly basis so those that cannot afford traditional burials can afford and those that want to scatter the ashes but not right away and not want a container in the house can remove them when they are ready.. no hassles.
But I'm bad with naming stuff...so help me.
I know people will be dying to get in.
The parcel can hold 450 graves.
Also if anyone is interested just E-mail me with questions and more details.

Why most christianity don't questions them self about Christmas? and why is Dec 25? In the bible never said that Jesus born in Dec 25 which is on winter. The shepherd saw the start when they were shepherding the sheep so there is no way on the winter. And also the bible said to remember the death of Chirst, not to remember when
He is born. I do some reserach. Christmas is actually a pagan holiday.

why a lot of christians still follow the tradition that invented by human instead of follow the Word of God which is bible?
