It says that 'even knowledge will fall away' or something like that. I am a fairly new christian, there are some things I still don't get.

Isn't there something about not judging in the bible? I could have sworn it was there.

The people of the ancient middle east had a very dark skin, so doesn't that mean that Jesus would have dark skin himself?

The lights of Hanukkah are shining.
Their glow will brighten up the sky.
Let these lights of love,
Tell the story of,
A miracle of days gone by.

The people had a little oil.
Enough to last for just one night.
But with God's great ways,
It lasted eight long days,
And that's a miracle of light (or it might be life)...

We learned this in 5th grade music class (I won't tell you how many years ago), and I can't remember the rest...nor can I find it anywhere on the internet.

Thanks!

Just wondering. I think the Star of David would make for a supreme shuriken.

Quote via Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich:

"But there [have] been numerous unfortunate cases of fratricide, and the parents have basically said, 'OK, it was an unfortunate accident.' And they let it go. So this is — I don't know, these people have a hard time letting it go. It may be because of their religious beliefs."

Kauzlarich, now a battalion commanding officer at Fort Riley in Kansas, further suggested the Tillman family's unhappiness with the findings of past investigations might be because of the absence of a Christian faith in their lives."

Apparently the Tillmans are not religious and this man thinks that is the reason for their dissatisfaction over the handling of their son's death. I thougt it was b/c the military lied and then attempted to cover it up, but I am a dirty, rotten atheist. Your view?

According to the Bible:

"... the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant."

And don't say God would never ask you to do it, because the Bible justifies it.

I'd like to understand some people's jokes and I'm not familiar with American customs.

Someone claimed that jesus gave the law to Moses. The law states over and over again how it is eternal for all generation. It also says that G-d has put two paths before us life (following the law) and death (not following it). G-d then went on to judge the Jewish people for over 1300 years punishing them severely when they strayed from the law.

Now we are to believe that the law means nothing all the matters is belief. Sounds like a liar to me.

Recent decisions in California Courts have ruled in favor of abuse survivors in that state. The Legal Department lawyers of Jehovah’s Witnesses have fought with filing after filing trying to claim “clergy penitent privilege” with information that would lead to the possible conviction or implication of further crimes against children by Jehovah’s Witness child molesters. The secondary issue regards civil damages brought upon victims due to negligence of church officials in not reporting allegations of child abuse putting additional children in danger.

This ruling from the court states simply that the church cannot use “clergy penitent privilege” as a way to protect pedophiles from law enforcement

If u say Jesus is the son of God..i dont think its possible for God to torture his "so called" son..some may say that its because when Jesus got tortured he lifted all the sins off Christians..if God wanted Christians to go to Heaven from the first place..Idont think he needed a Human that happened to be Christ to do it for him!!

I'm sorry, but I can't abide by this "man is the head of the household" BS the Christians seem to think is the only way to live. I was always taught that a husband and a wife were partners, equal in power in the household. I couldn't live with being subservant to my man. Do you know what would happen if I let my boyfriend make all the decisions around the house? We'd have six PS2s but no food. We'd be hungry, cold, and probably on fire.

I love my boyfriend, and I respect him, but I will never be subservent to him, and he would never expect me to be. We make all decisions together and face all problems side by side. Why do Christians think this is wrong?

I love the Lord and I am not always the greatest most compassionate christian and I will be the first to admit this.
There have been things in my life that have made me bitter,
not being able to have my own children, the financial battles my husband and I went through in 2003 to name a few. Although I am coming to terms with these things and becoming more accepting of the things I cannot change, there are still some scars and at times remants remains of the hurt that happend. Have you ever been bitter about what has happened to you? How did you overcome the bitterness?

I mean things like Jesus spontaneously healing people, the world flooding and getting two of each animal on a single ship, the seas parting because a guy puts a stick in it, a bush burning but not getting damaged, etc. All these amazing things only happened so long ago in times when science hardly featured and people were gullible.

Why don't these miracle-type events happen today but happened like every 5 mintues way back in the day?

Why do they believe this when the ORIGINAL bible is gone and no one ever really know what the original bible really says? Muslims for instance have only ONE book and it says the same everywhere, always. The "christians'" bible has so many parts, ..Y'kno'..........Like it's been tampered with..............Y'kno' what I mean??..eeeeekkkkkk
