Christians believe that we inherited a sinful nature through our first parents Adam and Eve because they ate the forbiden fruit.

Now beforing answering my question, define the word JUSTICE and then tell me if it applies to the gods (Elohim, the Hebrew word in Genesis) or God if you want.

Question: Is there a logic that justifies God being "JUST" as it so puts it in the bible when a child is punished for his father or mother mistake? I mean, even human laws are more just than that, who is that judge that will punish the son of a criminal just for the single fact that he is the criminal's son? Isn't that what the bible wants us to believe? Wouldn't it be possible that if it was someone else instead of Adam that was told not to eat obey this commandment? so why punish everyone for someone else's fault?

Had some personalities that were Christain and other personalities that were non-believing, would the whole person still go to heaven, or go to hell? Or would each of the the personalities be judged seperately?

It's just as possible as God existing, in my opinion.

I want to become a better, more active Catholic. I currently go to church once or twice a month, if that. I know the easy answer, "Go to church more" but what I want to know is, are there any alternative ways to get confirmed that does not include going before the congregation for consecutive sundays and being led out of mass before the eucharistic ceremonies? I want to become confirmed, badly. I just have a deathly fear of people, it's a panic disorder with claustro/agorphobia. I hate being in crowds, which is why, although I am 26 years old, I still only go to church when I am with my family, and can sit in between them. I need to get confirmed, I have been baptized, and went through first communion ceremonies as a child. However; when confirmation classes were going on our sophomore year, I was involved in sports and it led me away from the church. I can't complain, because I ended up with a scholarship to play baseball. Short question, I want to know how to get confirmed.

alot of people are confused about the trinity belief. if you believe in the trinity then you believe in the father, the son, the holy ghost and that all 3 are seperate but make up the godhead. alot of people say they believe the trinity and believe Jesus is God. i am one who believes Jesus is God. and that he was manifested in flesh. however this is not the trinity this is oneness. or monotheism. go to merriam websters dictionary and look up defenition of monotheism and trinity. as far as Bible talks about there is no mention of trinity. there is however Jesus saying i and my father are one. old test. says there is one God and there is none other and there will be no other. and it says God became flesh. john 1:1-14. short it says the word is God and the word became flesh and dwelt among us. deu 6:4 hear or israel the Lord our God is one Lord. so if you believe that Jesus is God then you do not believe in the trinity but in the oneness or monotheism.

If Jesus said, give unto Ceasar what is Ceasars and unto God what is God, was he not saying that we ought not give our souls,mind, hearts, worship, devotion, bodies to serve Ceasar but to God?
Please think carefully before assuming that if face with threat we must fight or die, because what is better, to die fighting killing others, joining their evil, or to die as a sacrifice to God in obedience non resisitng for the good? Because if you go and fight there is a good possibility you will die, so that, to avoid dying cannot be your motivation for fighting anymore.
Don't we totally overcome evil by not being overcome by it, no matter what. If we die we have not lost, but won. If we fight we have lost and it proves we love this life and have no real faith in eternal one?
All these are questions. I lean towards this ideal non resistance but I have doubts at times.
But it seems to me to be an issue of how simply and seriously do we take Jesus' teaching and example.

I have had a few random people come up to me and tell me this.
While it is very sweet,it sounds more like..."every single night at eight p.m.,I crawl into my bed and I think about yoouuuuuu" some times....
What do you think when people inform you that they are "praying" for you?

After the death of Khadija (his first wife), prophet Muhammed married an old woman (Sawda) to take care of his children. However, after he married Aisha (the 9-year old bride) he was going to divorce Sawda. The reason? because she got old!

Sawda asked prophet Muhammed to keep her as a wife and he would not be obliged to spend any time with her. He was so kind that he kept her but he did not spend any time with her. This means he spent double the time with Aisha (her day + Sawda's day).

(1) Is it fair to divorce your wife just because she became old?

(2) Even if she asks you not to have sex with her, should not you spend more time with her to comfort her and look after her health? I thought this would be better than spending double the time with the other child wife (especially for a prophet).

We have come to this place in our love
Where faith must be stronger than fear
For if true love is our destination
Thru every storm it must always be clear
The surest way to get there from here

CHORUS
Is to walk on faith
Trust in love
Just keep on putting one foot down
In front the other
When the valley so wide
We stumble in stride
And everything inside wants to give up
Walk on faith trust in love

Farther on beyond the shadows of our doubts
We will live where true love never dies
Though the road we must travel is uncertain
There is a truth in our hearts that never lies
It is by such grace we are bound to arrive

(chorus)

Come on walk on faith when the valley is wide
And everthing inside is telling you to give up

I am not very religious, although i do love studying other relgions. My boyfriend is Muslim. But he is as muslim as I am catholic. We are talking about getting married, and his family asked me if I would convert. I'm not really sure about it myself. I really like the Islamic religion, but actually saying that I am muslim, i dont think i could do that. Especially to my family. They would think i was being brain washed or something. Anyhow... i just wanna know if you would convert. From Christianity to Muslim, Jewish to Christian, Pagan to Christian, Budhist to Muslim, whatever the conversion is, would you do it for someone who absolutly loved you and you loved them back. If they didnt care, but their family cared.

It sound more like the behaviour of a military commander. Only Moses could meet him and his face was burned by looking at him directly. His personality and the orders he gave to Moses have similarities to Osama Bin Ladin as he orders the the destruction of 1,000,000s people for not following his religion. Any Explanation?
