Of course I am only speaking this way because I dont think sin is a matter of punishment that we receive from god, but more so the sin of ourselves, and the punishment upon our being. God has already made his choice. Now we have to decide if there is a god or not speaking to us in our little corners of timeout. If indeed there is a god it would seem we are already enduring our punishment by being here, and not there. So what purpose would god have to conflict more punishment upon us. Unless sin is just the punishment of ourselves. Then the rest is meaningless. Anyways like all good parents know every child is angry by what they dont know, so anger leads to reason, not more punishment.
what are your thoughts? Just wondering

Are you on Satans hit list?

If not, what the heck are you doing? If your life is easy, and Satan is not bothering you I can asure you that you are luke warm at best. When a person is a CHRISTIAN Satan hates your guts, and will do anything I repeat ANYTHING he has to to get you away from God.
The reason Satan does not bother non-Christians is he aleady has them in his grasp. If you are not his he lothes the very ground you walk on, and will do anything to get you in his grasp.

So lets get up out of our comfort zones and reach people with the Gospel. Time is far to short for us to continue to be pew warmers. If all you want is for you to make Heaven, I pitty you, and that is not what we are here for. We are COMANDED by Christ to "go into all the world, and make desciples".

P.S. Before you call me self righteous, I will tell you that I am speaking to myself here too. This is truly what God has been talking to a lot of Pastors about lately.

Y.I.C.

My biggest fear ever is losing my freedom and control over myself. However, I know that as a Christian I am supposed to surrender my entire life and self to God. How can I overcome my fear and surrender? I mean I am really scared to hand over the reigns, even if it is to a very loving God.

To stone people for their sinful ways? So who's goin' to throw the first stone at who?

Here's some of them:
----------------------------

Good evening gentlemen... and get out, ladies.

On my flight to New York there must have been an Israeli in the bathroom the entire time. There was a sign on the door that said "Occupied."

How many Palestinians does it take to change a light bulb? None!
They sit in the dark forever and blame the Jews for it!

What do you call a first-time offender in Saudi Arabia?
Lefty!

Did you hear about the Muslim strip club?
It features full facial nudity!

Why do Palestenians find it convenient to live on the West Bank?
Because it's just a stone's throw away from Israel...

...And finally:

Heard from a Palestenian girl who says to her mommy:
"After Abdul blows himself up, can I have his room?"

------------------------------

Haha.

It's all in jest, Omar, so... Okay, your turn.

Peace be with you!

I have a lot of questions about becoming a nun.
1. Do other denominations have nuns, or just Roman Catholics?
2. How does one become a nun? Do you have to go to the equivalent of seminary?
3. Can lesbians become nuns, or is it just priests and higher that have to be straight?
4. With whom might I talk in real life about becoming a nun?
5. Would it be helpful for a nun to have gone to college, or would she be better off doing something else?
6. Do any nuns still live in convents?

Thanks for answering, and God bless.

And why is being a homosexual more of a sin than claiming to know the mind of God?

There are Christian drug addicts, Christian alcoholics, Christian sex addicts, you name it! So how is it that Christians can claim to know what will happen to a homosexual? Do they really know a person's heart better than their God?

just curious

2006-11-29 16:01:55 · 12 answers · asked by Andres 6

If you do a little research, it's evident that it is not Jesus' birthday. In Bethlehem, winters are very cold and it speaks of the shepherds being in the fields, tending to the flocks at night. In winter, the flocks would be put out of the cold. There are many other references too that point to Christmas as being of pagan origin. So, why do so many people hold it as something Holy?
