...an if He *does* exist, why do you use His name in vain?
...especially when He has asked you not to?

I have a wonderful pastor and I enjoy my church and his sermons very much. About 2 years ago I invited a friend of mine to a service to my church. After the service she said that she would never return back to my church again because during service my pastor started speaking in tongues. I read in 1 Corthians 14 where Paul speaks of speaking in tonuges and having an interperprter there explain what is being said, which is not done at my church. Is my pastor in error when he speaks in tongues during service or is he just filled with the spirt and unable to control what is being said. I'm seeking real advice on this question please.

as far as i can tell all he ever did was rebel against a dictater who wanted all of his subjects to worship him unelected. on the other hand God has killed loads of people he even sent plagues to terroize the Egyptians for not worshipping him. would you call George Washington evil cause his actions are equal to Lucifers if you think about it. if i have missed out something the devils done let me know i genuinely want to know

people are people and even religion can promote such things too look at all the serial killers that where christian or look at the muslim school bombing in russia they are pretty voilent and perhaps have never even seen a voilent movie or even listened to voilent music or even played a voilent video game but yet people assume that these things cause people to act the way they do sorry but i dont agree with that at all. i have watched horror films and have never harmed a single human being after watching it. i never once harmed anyone due to any of these things either they are just entertainment nothing else

That's like a person facing another person and taunting him. He doesn't know that the person he's taunting sees a huge lion behind him ready to attack and devour him.

It's also like a person on the titanic as it's sinking, but the slant isn't noticable because the boat is so big and when someone tells him he's on a sinking ship, he laughs and keeps on celebrating.

I'm sure I'll get the usual insults for this but that is what you are like to us. If you would only see that God is real and just think for one second that we are not stupid. Many Christians are Doctors, lawyers and other intelligent professionals. We only want to save you from death.

" For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. " Acts:3:22

If the above quote is not prophesying the coming of Jesus then it may be referring to Prophet Muhammad.

Jesus himself unequivocally said he was a prophet. are those teaching the Word of God anti- Christ or they are just changing the words to mislead the ignorant and keep them under their control?.
6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him......Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Mark 6:1-4

I see people in every question in this section gleefully telling the questioner that they are "going to hell", often with nice little details added about what's going to happen to them when they get there.

So the next time one of you Christians wants to whine and belly-ache about "Why do people hate Christians when we're so NICE?!?" I'd like to save you the 5 points of asking and tell you that it's because we're tired of being threatened constantly.

If I wanted some Jan Brady wannabe in my face screaming about how she's gonna laugh her butt off when Jesus comes back and throws me in the lake of fiery torment and all my skin peels off, well, I'd ask for that, okay? Otherwise, back the frig off.

I generally am not too big on reporting, but I'm making a New Years Resolution to report anyone I threatens a poster with hell. Who's with me?

Rap music:
-degrades the english language
-promotes tagging and vandalism
-degrades women
-implies postivity to primitive force (look at any metal cd, and youll see an imaginative cover with interesting artwork, look at a hip hop cd, and youll see a pissed off nigra wanting to fight)
-shifts values to "bling" and expensive shoes which leads to theft
-sounds like crap

well lets see, animals have fur to keep them warm or cool. Birds and ducks have feathers to protect them from the snow and rain. fish have scales to and gills to adapt in the water.
What do we have? My daughter asked why are we the only species that need to tear up the earth to meet our needs? We are not adaptable to the elements as are all other species. Why?

I've heard people quote Revelation 22:18 (...If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book) saying that means the Bible is closed.

I don't know if they realize that chronologically, John wrote Revelation before the gospels of Matthew and John and various epistles attributed to Paul. Should all these books be discarded? Not to mention the same 'don't add, don't take away' scripture is found in the Old Testament (Deut 4:2). Wouldn't that mean that everything after Deuteronomy is false?

So I'm curious, where does the belief come from that scripture cannon is closed?

Obviously Jesus did many things that we don't currently have recorded in the 66 books known as the bible (John 21:25). If new records were discovered, would they be rejected?

American Fred Phelps and his Church regularly protest holding up signs like "Thank God for 9/11" and "God hates fags"... I personally think it is disgusting..OK, so Fred is entitled to free speech but if he was in the UK he could be stopped under a law that bans "inciting hatred"... why has the US not got a similar law?. Just read about him on a petition website http://glad.to/stopthehate so sign up to stop him and pass the address on to all your friends... I cant believe he can get away with protesting at dead soldiers funerals and asking to build a statue of a murdered gay teen with a message saying he is "in hell"... how must the families feel about this?
