I once attended a non-denominational church and they referred to seventh day adventist as a 'cult'. Is that true and why is that? I know a lot of wonderful people who are SDA and I was shocked to hear that. Please only believers answer - thanks.

I am a teacher, and I was discussing with my students that we entered a new year, 2007. So, I said "Happy New Year" and we talked about resolutions to do better with the new start. I requested that my students write down their promises to themselves for the new year, and I had a couple Witnesses who informed me that they could not do the assignment because they are not allowed to talk about the new year.

Were they just trying to get out of the work, or is it really a doctrine that does not allow them to mention the New Year and discuss resolutions to better themselves?

We all know about Jesus, so if I want to be a Jesus freak, I'll do it on my own. So leave me alone, I can think for myself. I don't preach my beliefs to you, so I would appreciate it if you would not preach to me. Thank you and goodnight.

I am not convinced that the intelligent design hypothesis qualifies as legitimate science. Neither are these 38 Nobel Laureates: http://media.ljworld.com/pdf/2005/09/15/nobel_letter.pdf In light of this, I hope there are some intelligent design advocates out there that can make a convincing case. Please, without relying on religious rhetoric, answer these questions:

1. What, specifically, do intelligent design advocates hypothesize? On what observation is this hypothesis based?

2. What data has been collected to support the hypothesis?

3. How is the hypothesis falsifiable?

4. How would you respond to the criticism that intelligent design appears to be a theory drawn up to support an ideology, rather than to explain observable phenomena?

5. An important characteristic of a scientific theory is that it cannot be proven correct. Instead, it is meant to function as a logical, predictive model. Why do so many intelligent design advocates, then, present their theory as "fact?"

Mat 5:44 - But I tell you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who revile you, and persecute you.

What if you respond in less than loving ways toward someone on Yahoo! Answers? Is Jesus saying doing so is a sin? What should you do to restore wholeness?

Does the following verses effect how you respond?

Matt. 5:23-24 - So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

What, then, is the proper way for Christians who lack charity to reconcile themselves to their fellow Y!A user and to their God?

I say it takes ultimate bravery to risk not receiving a reward like immortality with a deity.

Can theists ever appreciate this level of courage?

I do believe animals have a soul, so that's not my question.... my question is this; If you believe that animals have a soul for instance cats, do you believe they can choose to come back to their owners again in human form... such as a child?

but alas, where in the bible are the laws of thermodynamics written? is it yet another example of something men came up with that is not included in the supposed bood of everything by god? surely if thermodynamics were the best way to prove god he would have written them down somewhere. instead we get a flat earth [1], rain and hail kept in storehouses in the sky [2] and animals that give birth to spotted and striped offspring due to rods in front of which they had sex. [3] that is practically the opposite of a well thought out thermodynamics argument. just like man created the age of accountability, the age of consent in marriage, most of our ethics, we also created the idea of thermodynamics.

1. http://geocities.com/paulntobin/astronomy.html
2. Job 38:22
Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail?
3. Genesis 30:37-39
it's a miracle.

There are really only three approaches you can take to the Bible - you can take it completely literally, you can decide some of it is metaphorical, or you can decide it is completely metaphorical.

It is logically impossible to believe in every word of the Bible literally, as it is written. It contains far too many contradictions.

Yet, if you wish to believe that portions are metaphorical, how do you decide which are and which are not? It is argument over the "interpretation" of various parts of the Bible that has split Christianity into so many denominations. I do not wish to take part in a faith that requires human beings to have to "interpret" and ancient book. I would rather get my knowledge of spirituality from the scientific, physical world, which is not metaphorical.

I can't accept the premise that the WHOLE Bible is one big collection of metaphors, because there's too many real facts in it.
