A spirit that cries for patience, compassion and understanding would be a good spirit. A spirit that suffers in pride, doubt and quilt would be bad. So, is the good spirit holy and the bad spirit evil?

then why are condoms permitted still.if using a condom is forbidden then how do couples use birth control.people who arent using them for wrong reasons like husband and wife.if no other thing than bodies are permitted then that means condoms,toys are forbidden.but how do couples delay births when islam and many religons say have a child after 2 yrs now how do people not have a child for 2 yrs when it says husband and wife not having sex is bad then how do they wait 2 yrs without going against God.now either wer wrong and other things are permitted or God is wrong.if condoms arent permitted but ppl say ther ok to use then does it mean toys and masturbation are ok too.i dont get this straighten things out can you and tell me where im wrong

Ok we need to seriously stop sterotyping people here. Not all Christians down athiest and pagans. A true Christian does not look at the misfortune of others or mock anyone. A true Christian loves all people and while we may pray that you come to know God and follow in Jesus we do not say horrible things about others as it is against our morals and is written in the bible. We true Christians are good people and I for one can not stand the things said about Christianity. The truth be told I do not go against anyone's beliefs and respect everyone for what they believe as long as they do not attack what we believe. I gurantee I will get some stupid and sensless answers to this but those of you who do not judge others will understand.

I've always heard PPL SAY SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN 12-21-2012. then yesterday i was watching History channel and found out the mayans predicted that. They also predicted the future in chunks of times, called Catans. We r supposed to be in Catan 4 and at the end, 12/21/2012, when the sun WILL be in the middle of milky way (it actually will) dooms day will arrive. Their calenders go on after Dooms Day, and i want to know when their calenders stop.
Could 12/21/12 be Judgement Day? I doubt it, God (Ennam Engel) wouldn't let anyone predict it.Plus all of their predictions have become right so far. The mayans predict we r entering a new age, and we r, r'nt we? If u think about it...



So, my questions are:
1.Do you believe something bad'll happen 12/21/12?

2. If so, what? Do u think Judgement Day?

3. When did the Mayan's calendars end? and

4. Do u believe in God (Ennam Engel)?

I responded to a question about church in the parenting section last night. The question was about whether or not you went to church. I responded that I didn't because I'm Wiccan, and there's not that many Wiccan churches. But I also said that I'm hoping I can join a Wiccan church here soon when I move. The question only asked what church you go to. No where did they say it had to be a Christian church.

I recieved two thumbs down for this answer. What I don't understand is why. Just because I admitted to being Wiccan?

Why are Christians allowed to flaunt their religion and beliefs but Wiccans are suppose to hide their beliefs? Why is it such an issue? Paganism has been around for much longer than Christianity. So, why do Christians always talk down to us?

Although i am like most and love christmas, i just wanted to kinow - did the calendar we use today (jan, feb,mar etc) exist 2000 years ago at the time of Jesus. My research says it didnt. Now how do we know that Jesus was born on the 25th December - cos it doesnt say anywhere in the bible. And if it didnt, how was it converted to the 25th December. Was it purely a pagan date?

ABC News movie reviewer Joel Siegel picked Borat as one of the top 10 films of '06. He says it deserves an Oscar.

Is he a shill or just mental? Didn't the bible warn us about false prophets?

I am losing my faith & need to be reassured that human beings are not the worst species on the planet. Thinking back on the story of Sodom and Gommorah, I wonder if I would be able to find 10 truly good people in today's day and time.

Comparing...

John 1:33, "And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water, He said to me, He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and abiding upon Him, this is He who baptizes in the Holy Spirit."

with Matthew 3:11, 13-14, 16, "He who comes after me...will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire. Then Jesus came...to John to be baptized by him. But John tried to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need of being baptized by You, and You come to me? And having been baptized...He saw the Spirit of God descending...upon Him."

why are some people saying that if you are saved then you can't be possesed
when it is a well known fact that the majority of possesion cases are with those of the Christian faith ?
personally i have never heard of anyone outside Christianity being possesed
whether i believe in these possesions or not is a different matter
please tell me of anyone you believed to have been possesed ... where they Christian , not Christian ... what was happening to them etc

My pet died about 5 years ago and I miss him dearly. How could I communicate with him? How do I know if he's around? Do animals reincarnate? Do they know that their owner loves them? Do they visit? How much do they know on the other side?

My bf once got up on the bed and stood there with his arms spread open and started talking in another strange language. Possibly Latin. He then started swallowing the rosary around his neck. My mom had to spray holy water on him and exorcise whatever it was out of him. Another few times he would grunt like an animal behind me as we layed in bed. I would call out his name and he would say that wasn't him. He once grabbed a knife and was walking towards me like he was in a trance. He woke up out of it just in time thank God. He said to me that the Devil wanted him to kill me. I noticed that right before that happened the lights in the house all burnt out. Could it be because his ex-girl did voodoo on him like she claims or because he had used the oija board and evil spirits stayed with him? What were those spirits and what did they want? How much power do they have anyway?
