Even some christians have a tendency to go to psychic when they're serving a God that have answers for all of their questions? Some think, it's okay. I'm here to tell you to stop if u're one of them coz it's ABOMINATION.

James 4:11 says "Brothers do not slander one another," and James 4:12 continues: "But you - who are you to judge your neighbor?"

Reminds me of how the Christians out there who dare to judge the rest of us obviously don't know their own gospel very well. How can you judge others when your scripture so clearly states that you should not? What is your justification?

When I was a child I was loving kind gentle and trusted everyone I was also treated mean by the kids at school and teased and taunted and verbally abused. I would get yelled out to stick up for myself but the times I tried to I was pushed and threatned.

By the time I was 16 I was in a mental hospital and even though my family said it was not my fault I feel responsbile. Maybe if I pulled some of the peoples hair or punched people or fought back I would maybe have never had a nervous breakdown in the first place. One of the few highlights of my youth was that I accepted Jesus in my heart but there were still many battles that God help me fight before I got to a good place.

How can I fully let go of what I am feeling and go forward in my walk? How can I use the situaion to minister and bless others.

Thank you in advance for your answers and God bless you.

I'm not basing my evidence just on this video. It's a topic that has been researched and studied for over 5 decades.

Do you truly believe Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, and Chris Reeve went to hell because they were atheists?

I am of the 144,000 that will be let into heaven. However, if I don't lose weight I will take up two seats and keep someone else from going to heaven. I don't want to condemn someone to hell ...Should I start dieting?

That they have the answer to everything? Why do they think that "Jesus" will answer every prayer and do whatever they ask of him. Why are Christains so judgemental when the bible says "Thou Shall Not Judge"? Why do they think I'm wrong if I have different beliefs? Why do you have to be right and why do you rely on a book that's thousands of years old and has been changed by the church in order so it will serve the churches' every whim?

I believe in a higher being. I'm questioning my belief in Jesus, and in the Bible. Nowadays, I don't know what to believe in. I just love everyone, and seek compassion and justice!

i asked this question. i stated my question quite clear i think

i did not say i made a whole new book. btw the bible is a bunch of books compiled. by book i mean "chapter" Genesis is a book of the bible. i know youve heard that term

my question is WHY if i make a new BOOK to add to the bible. why if i say it was inspired by god, and does not contradict anything in the bible, you will throw out as false? is it because i am not a pope? or you think that someone with such "authority" should chose whether it is inspired by god or not? why do you believe someone who makes the same claims, only because its written 2000 yrs ago? would you believe him if you were born in his generation ? or would u likewise throw it out as proposterous as your doing to me?
Plz read the question, lack of answering is aggrevating

John 1:1--"In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 20:28--"Thomas said to him 'My Lord and my God!'"
Hebrews 1:8--"About the Son he says 'Your throne , O God, will last forever and ever.'" This Heb. vs. sounds like God is calling Jesus God. I looked up the Greek word for God, and it was the same word for all 3 verses. The definition is "deity, supreme divinity, God."
The Old Test. seems to be plain only one true God exists. Isaiah 44;6, 45:5, 46:9 say that there is one God, there is no other.
Also, Genesis 1 says God created everything, yet John 1:3 says everything was created by Jesus, that is if Jesus is the Word, which the rest of John seems to make it plain that he is the Word. Colossians !:15-17 verify he is the creator. Phil. 2:5-11 seems to say he released some of his divine attributes in order to become human - example: an omnipresent God couldn't exist in a finite human body. Also it would kill us to see God in his full glory. ??

How can you convince me of anything when you say freewill does not exist and that people are products of their environment? You think people would be happier without religion, but what about Russia? Atheism is empty, nihilistic. If religion is a delusion, which it's not, it is a delusion with a future. If you deny people a way of mass communion and bonding, society will fall apart.

The bible summises that the only thing God wants us to do is keep his ways. Do what Jesus did when he was here. Keep his traditions and not the ones that man has made for us. So what will you say when He ask you, have you kept my laws. Did you observe the sabbath day? Did you keep my Holy days and my feast? Did you keep my dietary law?

Most peopl think these things do not matter. But the bible says that they do from Genesis to revalitons?

Exd 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Psa 105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
Eze 44:24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; [and] they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
Hbr 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

need I say more.

Romans 12:15 sayd to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.

There are times I find it hard to rejoice for others when they received things that they have wanted and I have not been given that oppurtunity to.

When God closed the door for my husband and I to have children all of a sudden everyone was getting pregant around me and getting swarmed with attention. This was not easy for me as I was told that if I followed God I would be blessed.

We are living with family until we moved and everyone of my friends and family have a nice home and I have found it hard to rejoice for them at times.

What are godly ways have you been able to rejoice with others even though they have gotten everything they wanted and you didn't?

Thank you in advnace for your answers and God bless you.

I'm not ready to have kids any time soon or anything, but I was thinking about this after I read an email my friend sent me.

I really like the name Chiara and plan to name my first daughter that. But all the other names I like and plan to name my kids are Biblical names such as Joshua and Gabriel for boys and Bethany and Jordan for girls.

Do you think it'd be weird one daughter not to have a Biblical name when all her siblings do? I just had it on my mind and was wondering what other people thought. I still have a long time to go...

Just no stupid answers please....

JN 16:33 Jesus says: "In me you have peace."

MT 11:25, MK 4:11-12 Jesus thanks God for hiding some things from the wise while revealing them to "babes." He says that he uses parables so that the meaning of some of his teachings will remain hidden to at least some persons, and specifically so that they will not turn and be forgiven.
MK 4:22 Jesus says that all things should be made known.

MT 11:29 Jesus says that he is gentle (meek) and humble (lowly).
JN 2:15 Jesus makes a whip of cords, drives the money changers from the Temple, overturns their tables, and pours out their coins.

I have noticed over the years as I grow closer to Jesus there is ALWAYS someone who has something negative to say about me and there have been people in my own family in past that have treated me like dirt. It is accepted if you want to be negative like certain people are in the world, it is accepted if you are cynical and sarcastic. People who get picked on and abused and presecuted dont neccesarily warrant it or ask for it. At my last job
I was treated very poorly and if I wanted to I could have had a law suit against certain people for the awful slander they said about me on purpose.

My question how do you handle the persecution either in the circumstances you go through and through people?

I know the Bible says great is your reward when you have been persecuted but I think that pertains to heaven, and I respect that but I need to know how to deal with this at the present time I am in.

It seems everytime I post that I am trained in hoodoo (which isn't even a religion by the way - voodoo is), I get a thumbs down. Before you pass judgement, isn't it smart to do some research on what you don't know or understand before deciding what you think? Are we as a society so closed minded and/or lazy to educate ourselves about other cultures? Even if later we chose that they don't agree with our own beliefs? What happened to tolerance?

"The God Makers" is written by an ex-Mormon (Ed Decker) and is very revealing of the TRUE beliefs of this cult. We all need to know more about this cult.

ok i asked this earlier and my question was never even answered. no one explained why.

what my question is, if i or someone else were to write a book now, and claimed that what they wrote was directly inspired by god, would you believe then? why or why not?

how would this be different then beleiving in a book written more then 2000 years ago by people who only made the exact same claim. that god inspired them. what would be the difference?

I have studied them all, and Most of them worship the same God. They just have a different opinion on the 'facts.' If you think that your belief is the only right one, how humble are you being? Would God appreciate that? To think that one religion is absolute truth, without error is pretty arrogant. Men err, not on purpose, they are human.

In Genesis 1, humans are created after the other animals; in

Genesis 2, Adam is created before them.

In Genesis, God creates light on the first day, but doesn't make the sun until the fourth day.

Plants are created on the third day, before there is any sun for photosynthesis.

Birds are created before reptiles and insects (their food), and flowering plants before any other animals (needed to pollinate them).

If god knows everything then he already knows who is going to hell. So why doesnt he just remove their free will and force them to worship him? Wouldnt that be better than burning in hell for all eternity?

There is one thing Hitler did not finish ........to eliminate the Jews from the face of this earth.

The holocaust did happen but the atrocities that the Jews tell you about are all conspiracy. It is all made up to make us the world feel sorry for them. However, he did murder the Jews, for this I have to thank him in his grave.

Thank you for the oportunity to exercise my freedom of expression and speech.
