i used to date his daughters dorm roomate a couple years back and saw him on tv this morning. she told me that he has the ability to heal people honestly. I said ok all BS aside. have you seen him heal anyone. She said yes. So back to the question at hand. Do you think those people are paid? or does he really have the ability to transfer energy to knock someone over without touch?

This is a nice Christian response to my last question.

"Shame on you, you prick !!!"
Jesus favors no sin, as for he is meant for the salvation for all the sinners on Earth. So, as of now, you will plead for an apology, as obliged.

As for pleading for an apology, **** you you asshole!

And for the record Gladitorial Games took place anywhere the Empire was. The Legions loved it!

For the unrighteous can't die for anyones sins, but the righteous can atone for the unrighteous?

It is written that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

There were spotless lamb sacrifices. Also first fruit sacifices that was to be the best of fruits or firstling of the animals.

Around 2000 yrs ago, Jesus is the Lamb of God, forever a High Priest for us since He shed His Own blood to atone for our sins.

Why is it devout Christians and Muslims if you cirticise their religion.....warn you you will go to hell!

Hell was just made up by religions to control the populace and increase the authority of the churches.

Not in a "second coming" sense, but as a way to experiment with how he would be treated and such.

Maybe I'm wrong with the next assumption, but I was wondering this.

Many times I have read about the term "moderate Muslim" on this forum. I've always found this a very insulting choice of words. It assumes that the average Muslim is not moderate, that the average Muslim is the "extremist Muslim".

In every group there are a few nutcases who give the group a bad name, but I never hear there are 'moderate atheists', or 'moderate Christians'. Which means the person that uses words like 'moderate Muslim' is assuming that a normal Muslim is not a moderate one.

Am I being too political correct here, or do you also take offense in this choice of words?

If god truly revealed himself then nobody would burn in Hell? Think about this before you start spitting out bible verses.

I don't believe in hell, but many people have told me this is where I will end up. Do you take joy in the thought that the "wicked" will be sent to hell, at least according to your religion? Just curious.

I asked a question about what are the views of the church on Christians who fornicate and christians who are homosexuals? Which one is bigger? I got lots of replies, one girl replied a sin is a sin. There is no big or small. if a little kid steals a cookie at the age of 2 he is still punished the same way as someone like hitlar who killed thousands mabye millions...we are all born with sin..we need Jesus blood to cover our sin so that we arn't seperated from God. Do you really believe that? A child is innocent. You cant punish him like Hitler. Thats wrong on so many levels.

I was a Christian for many years. I always had problems with the idea that non-believers would go to you-know-where and with the trinity. I had problems with the treatment of women. According to Paul, we are to obey our husbands, accept that we are weaker, that men are at our head, and that we have no authority to teach men. I felt that women are to sit quietly and to serve men while being pretty little objects for them to love.

I've always felt more Jewish. I believe and will always believe in one God. I treasure the stories of the OT.

However, I'm against an official conversion. If I believe in the faith, why can't I just be Jewish? What makes me less Jewish than the guy with the Jewish mother who doesn't believe? Can't I observe the faith without an official conversion process? Would I ever be welcome in a reform temple if I don't convert? Why do we see Jewish as something a person is instead of something they believe?

Fellow Christians, we all know people who have asked Christ into their heart, but yet continue to sin. For that reason, take a look at Ephesians 5:5-6 and answer this question. The verse says that a person has no inheritance with Christ and God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

So, how can a "saved" person who falls into that sin still go to heaven?

5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a] 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

so many people have been preaching on the TV that a wife is the property of her husband. how many of you sisters believe it is true or a fabrication? Should these preachers carry on preaching into deluding people that this is Islam, when it is clearly not Islam?

Faith, according to Hebrews 11:1, is "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." "Faith," according to Harris, "is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse--constraints like reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor" (65). Religion "preaches the truth of propositions for which it has no evidence," and, in fact, "the truth of propositions for which no evidence is even conceivable".

- Sam Harris, 'The End of Faith'

ok, I am REALLY ignorant about other religions, but, do catholics belive God is a body-less mass, or that he looks like man. What do you believe God looks like, or do you think he has no shape. Please excuse my ignorance about other religions, hey, I am trying to understand, right?

In the study of religion among primal peoples you find that many believed in "magic". Magic is defined as the belief that supernatural forces can be controlled, influenced and manipulated by executing a ritualistic formula, either physical or verbal. We still, today, in a more fashionable way, utilize superstition, prayer wheels, magic, sacrifices and elaborate doxologies to induce God to favor our requests, grant our wishes and perform miracles upon demand.

Minister, Rabbi and priest are expected to offer prayers on behalf of the desires of their congregation. Does this not make God a divine magician? And does this not make the minister or priest a magician's apprentice?
