I've been having dreams and geting "spectral" signs lately. They all ha ve something to do with a 17 or 18 year old boy named Grey (I don't know if that's his first or last name). He has black hair and gray eyes. He comes and touches me in my sleep then I wake up and see him. Is this real? What does it mean? What's going on and how do I deal with it?

I have many questions that are hard for me to figure out.
If God knows what you are going to do.. then does he know if we are going to heaven or hell before we are born?
How is Jesus so forgiving in the NT but in the OT God's wrath is pretty evident?
Why haven't there been as much miracles or prophets as in the old times?
Why does Catholocism have so much more rules than other religions?
Why do some people get to witness God's miracles when others dont?(i know the passage that says holy is the one that hasnt seen miracles but has faith)

please help me out!
thanks

PS: no athiest answers..

I personally believe it supports the existence of God. Afterall a worls created by God would have laws governing it otherwise it would be in chaos, however it appears to be designed.

Sir Fred Hoyle and Michael Jay Gould, have said "The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein."

In my opinion, discovering a scientific law is like finding a manual to how your mobile phone works, what say you?

I know they believe that only 144,000 people from Earth are getting into Heaven.

Is it predetermined who is going?
If it is, how does God choose?
If not, why would you get people to convert, thereby ruining your chances to get in?

One of my biggest problems with christianity ( I was raised catholic) is the lack of physicial evidence, and the fact your expected to have blind faith in a book which was written by word of mouth. This is one of the reasons I was drawn to Buddhism, however I also do not believe in rebirth. So my question is, is it required to believe in rebirth to be a buddhist? I understand that individuals say you see your past lives when your enlightened.. but this would require me to put faith in someone else's views/opinions.

a Christian can still be gay/bi and still accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. how can you say that if a persons gay, even if he worships the Trinity, he's ******? how can you say that they can't go to heaven if they're gay? God is love! Jesus died on the cross so man no more may die! being strait is a sin too!!!

My co-worker and were arguing about this over lunch.

Acknowledging that one could consider themseleves moral without believing in God, is there any point?

If I don't believe in God do I have certain morals in order to stay within the norms of society. I feel like I couldn't care less what society thinks (yes, I notice the glaring contradiction as I am posing a question to society). If there was no God, I would feel justified in doing what I wanted to, when I wanted to. Especially if there was a disagreement in morals by different societies.

So, are there morals without God? Does it matter what I do outside of the way society treats me for it?

PS - conscience is not the correct answer, one's guilt is subjective.

I'm wondering, I have a lot of friends who are, and for all I know is that they can't celebrate traditions like Birthdays or Religious holidays. I'm very clue less because I am Agnostic. (Don't go to church, don't have a religion)

I would like to know about if they have any rules about Dating, things that offend them, and basically any info you can share! Thanks!

I respect other religions and don't tend to judge for what others believe, but I am really curious on some of this Jehova stuff..thought someone could answer some questions for me.

Why is it that if they don't celebrate Christmas, they are readily there to take the Christmas Bonus from their employer?

My mother works with one and she won't sign birthday cards, etc, but now she is being a part of the Christmas party and even wears Santa pins. WHY?

Why is it that they have to knock at my door EVERY YEAR just before Christmas? You don't see them in July...only in the cold of winter before Christmas?

I know the background for a lot of their beliefs (Christ apparently wasn't born in December.....and some other rituals other religions have they think/believe they've come from pagonistic (spelling?) things from back when....and that is fine. That is what they believe...but I am wondering why some of this seems very hypocritical to me... & WHY AT CHRISTMAS?

Just trying to understand!
