evidence is not just something you believe in or you "feel with all your heart". christianity itself states faith in lord jesus christ with your heart, not with your mind. right off the bat its saying that you need to believe without any evidence. and for those people that say belief in something is evidence i feel sorry that half of your brain is missing. id like to hear some actual arguments instead of the "your going to hell" comment cause i think that just proves me right

Adults in the OT that converted professed faith in God, repented, and were circumcised. Same concept across the board today.

Babies were also circumcised as being God's "property". Did that just go away entirely?

A friend of mine moved to a small town where the church is "the" only social/community meeting place. When he moved up there originally, the neighbors put pressure on him and his family to join the local church. They just assumed he would join.

So not wanting to be outsiders in a small town, he played along. Proclaiming himself an atheist would have meant him and his family being ostracized. Pretty rough in a small town.

Funny thing is that, now that he's a member, he's found out that half the congregation are atheists like him and are also just members because of the pressure to conform and socialize.

Anybody else have a similar experience?

most of Christianity's exposure is from Westboro, pedophiles, protesters, "God Warriers" (whatever that is), and intollerance.

How does God call you to spread the Good News?

Surah 2, Verse 62:
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

So does that mean that in accordance with the Quran, you believe that Christians andd Jews are going to Heaven?

All of us have faults and shortcomings and christians are no exception. I curse and have a foul mouth and I can get very testy angry and mean to God with the things I say. I get very frustarted and I sound off with bad words. I have tried everything prayer, swear jars, fasting when needed and I cannot seem to kick this nasty skanky habit of cursing. God has been good to me and yes I know I am human and have faults but I know blessings and cursings cannot come from the same tongue what is your advice because I am a deacons wife and I need to be an example and would not want to bring anyone down. I have been struggling with this awful sin for many many years. I have gotten a tiny bit better but still have aways to go. I also want to stop cursing because it offrends and hurts my husband and I want to be a godly wife not a foul mouthed wife. Thank you and God bless you.

Has anyone read the satanic bible by Anton Lavey? I heard that he was a very brilliant man and I wanted to hear reviews from people who have read it, and their opinions on his work.

The manger is a feeding trough for animals. The name of Bethleham means "house of bread". Jesus in chapter 6 of John calls himself the "bread of life".

The Wedding Feast at Cana: changed substance
The Feeding of the Multitude: multiplied food
The Teaching on the Bread of Life: John 6:55
The Passover of our Lord
The Road to Emmaus: Luke 22:14-20

The whole Bible conveys salvation through eating the sacrificial lamb to reflect the ultimate and eternal sacrifice of Jesus Christ:
Abel offered a lamb to God and later John the Baptist said, “This is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world.”
Abraham was going to faithfully offer his only son when an angel of God stopped him, he sacrificed a sheep God provided.
At Passover Moses had lambs sacrificed that had to be eaten with unleavened bread.
Then the Israelites ate Manna in the desert that they did not recognize and Moses told them “This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.”

...he ALLOWS a 6 year old girl to be kidnapped, repeatedly raped and then murdered, then dumped into a roadside ditch...is this not absolute proof that god CANNOT be all of the above? Is this not ABSOLUTE proof that god cannot be a god? (This is a true story, by the way. Not only did he rape her vaginally, but also anally. They never caught the guy.) Do you think that little girl had a few prayers of her own while she was being raped? Why didn't god answer her? Why didn't he stop the man? He stopped all sorts of bad guys in the bible, why not now?

And please, anyone who says "The Lord works in mysterious ways" or "We cannot know the mind of god" will get you reported.

All i can say is that I'm glad I don't believe in all that religious mumbo-jumbo. It sure keeps my head clear and keeps me off constant defense.

I mean u talk bad about women in Islam and the way they are treated .knowing that u got it all wrong, cause im Muslim girl and never been happier with my life…and yeah….i wear hijab and don’t wear "fake hair" like many stupid people said….i actually have the nicest hair thank you
Anyway….did u forget while talking about women in Islam that the U.S has the higher numbers of :
Crimes, especially pregnant women from a street sex
In rape
In abusing people "sex abuse"
In DEVORCE
In hitting women….i mean lots of American men I saw on TV are in jail for killing their women or hitting them
Has the higher number in prostitutes asking for money ……
And ya not to forget mentioning the single mothers who were left alone after knowing from the fathers that "she is pregnant"
And also higher orphans and street kids

So do you think u r fair?or let me be fair…and say that u may not really know the truth. I mean the media in U.S is like lying to a kid…maybe you are shown the wrong side of everything…is that the reason…if not then what's this big reason?

Do most Xians accept evolution as true? Before anyone says that evolution isn't proven, there have been many experiments and a lot of research which indicates that it does. For example Darwin found an island that contained both long necked and short necked turtles. The short necked ones died as a result of not being able to reach berrys as well as the others and died out, so therefore the long necked ones have adapted to their environment. That is only a very basic example but do most Xians accept evolution, and if not even accept it as a possibility?

This question was posted in Family and friendship category but I realised I wanted to ask the question in a spiritual environment. Thanks
...............................................................................................

How do we define friendship? How do we aim to prevent our selves from being disappointed or getting hurt especially if you keep getting it wrong?

A spiritualist/meditator answered this question by saying that when you meet someone that has potential of being a friend, then you ask yourself these questions:

Can this person be a friend;
An acquaintance;
A contact;
Someone you say hello and good bye to;
or someone you walk past if you see them again?

Your instinct should be able to tell which category the potential friend fits into. What you do you think? How do you decide?
