Everytine I go to the store lately the total comes up 666. It happened at walmart a few weeks ago, my total was $66.66. It happened at the bank. I happened today when I went to safeway, The clerk told me we had the same last name and that I saved a total of $6.66 today for using my club card. Then he said he didn't know if thats a good thing right before the holidays. I know the numbers are supposively "the mark of the beast". But it's really startng to freak me out! I see it everywhere lately. Does it really have any meaning?

“Mention has been made of some new astrologer, who wanted to prove that the Earth moves and goes around, and not the firmament or heavens, the Sun and the Moon… . This Fool wants to turn the entire art of astronomy upside down! But as the Holy Scriptures show, Joshua ordered the Sun, and not the Earth, to halt!” Martin Luther talking about Nicolaus Copernicus (who used science to prove his observations) I remind you that after Luther a whole new brand of Christianity was started. Is this what religion has to offer when it comes to science?

Well, I'm thinking,
they say that these kings were clairvoyant/psychic and also that they might of had Jesus' own sacred blood flowing through their veins (not to offend any religous views, just going by my own info and thoughts), if that were the case is it in any possible sense that
psychic's today could possibly be descendants of the Merovingians even if it is a very vague relation?

You say you don't believe in Christ Jesus and His precious Word. Ok, that is your right and free will. But what will go through your head if you find out all you did NOT believe in, turned out to be true?

Thankyou

Okay, before I say anything i ask that you please be as honest as you have to be, just not rude. I was raised a Christian. When I was in high school I lost my faith and announced myself as agnostic. I studied many religions, and throughout my stidying I realized how much i HATE religion. My family eventually became agnostic as well and I felt understood. But sometimes I look around me and see the complexity of the world and feel an overwhelming sense of purpose and I think, there has to be something else out there. I know there really doesnt. So occasionally I'll feel like I'm having religous experiences and fall into the belief in christianity (I think because its the religion I am most familiar with and understand)These periods only last as long as two weeks. And then I actually read the bible and become disgusted in its degration towards women, promotion of slavery, rascism, murder, and hate. So what are these religous experiences Im feeling? I feel lost. Its all or nothing with me

So when Judas knew that he had done the wrong thing by betraying Jesus, did he ask God to forgive his sins before he hung himself? Or did he just hang himself, because he thought God could never forgive him? What if he did repent? Or did he just go to hell for what he did to Jesus?

Why do you need PUBLIC OWNED property to put up your stupid nativitey scenes? Is there a shortage or Church property or something? I don't want to see it and I, as a tax payer, certainly don't want to pay for it.

If some one has a gun to your head and tells you to kill another person. Is morally right according to the catholic church for you to kill that person to save your own life. If any one can tell me where I can find information one this topic it would be a great help,
According to the catechism of the catholic church when your own life is in jeopardy you will not be held responcable for all of your actions.
This is for a Morality Class Essay and is not an opiniated essay. all information must be factual and backed up with sources in the essay. any help with this would be great! Thanks!

ps. I am looking for more factual answers rather than opinions.

I'm trying this one more time

Do you know what an atheist really stands for?

“Your petitioners are Atheists and they define their beliefs as follows. An Atheist loves his fellow man instead of god. An Atheist believes that heaven is something for which we should work now – here on earth for all men together to enjoy.

An Atheist believes that he can get no help through prayer but that he must find in himself the inner conviction, and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it and enjoy it.

An Atheist believes that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment.

He seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to know a god. An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered

So does anyone know why Christians today decorate trees at Christmas time? Yes I know it is originally a pagan thing, but what reason do modern day Christians have for it?

I am struggling with several issues that stem directly from Vatican II and it's documents.

I had finished reading the Council of Florence as well Council of Trent, et al. before I tackled Vatican II, thinking it better to go in chronological order.

I have found myself at a major quandry. Frankly some of the documents in VII are...suspect. There is alot of ambiguity within said text. Then upon looking at the condition of the Church since the implementation of Vatican II--simply deplorable and if I look back at Florence, Trent, Nicene it seems that Vatican II 'chucked' many of the sacred traditions. The history since VII has bore no possible GOOD fruit from what I see. Could someone assist me and show me what good has come from Vatican II?

Secondly, do I have to follow the Vatican II documents? Reason I ask; is that there is no doctrinal declaration; though there is a pastoral declaration. Help, please!

I asked 2 questions recently. They both have to do with the Biblical God. One dealt with unforgivable sin and the other dealt with abandonment. Each answer chosen reflected the majority view among all respondents. I'd like to know... is one or the other correct, or can they both be correct?

•Question 1: Christians: What, according to the Bible, is the one sin that can never be forgiven?
•Answer: It is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Or in other words rejecting God. It is the holy Spirit who convicts us of sin. If we continue to ignore the conviction-that is rejection. God will leave us alone to do as we will. At this point he has rejected us.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
•Question 2: Christians: Is there anything you could do that would cause God to abandon you?
•Answer: No. He has promised to never leave or forsake me.
