Religion & Spirituality - 11 January 2007

One of my girl friends says that all men masturbate, but I can't imagine my sweet, conservative boyfriend doing stuff like that! He struggled with porn years ago and forced himself to quit, and that's all I know about it. We're both Christians and saving sex for marriage, and I'm just a little bit disturbed that he might masturbate? What on earth would he masturbate over? Please serious answers only. Thanks! (We're 19 and just modest, not some 12 year olds, by the way). I'm sorry if I seem judgmental or close-minded, but more than any of that right now I'm just confused.

Even if there is a god, don't you think he's moved on by now?

Can it be said, that any one really knows the meaning of the word day, Man's day or God's day. Adam died in the day he sinned at age 930, over 5000 years ago?

Gen.1:26; 5:3,5 Adam.

John 19:38-42 Jesus was placed in a sepulchre.
John 3:13-17; Acts 2:27-31; 1:9-11; Jesus ascended back to God.

If we are still in day seven as the bible suggest and it is going to be 7000 years to end SAVED, are all days 7000 years?
What would a specialist in this field say?
Could he say the earth was a certain age before plant life, animal life and life of man?

5 religious ones, 1 on relationships, 1 on hair styles, 1 against racism, oh and one coming in as I write-violation notice, violation notice, like these are old questions and answers that no one is going to read. I've just dropped back down to level one, effectively sensoring my voice, limiting me to 5 question instead of 10. Like if some doesn't like it that a like pigtails as a hair style or that I don't like racism, or I did see logic in the bible. Do they, just because they are from some kind of religious organisation have the right to bombard me with violation notices and threats to burn in hell. Why do so many people who call themselve Christians support this kind of censorship and abuse. I have been trying to understand religion but really it just seems that its all some kind of excuse to cut peoples tongues out or if you can't take a Knife to their tongue cut off their ability to communicate with other humans.
Why do religious people hate other people so much that stalk them?

I see homophobia based on the Bible, I see people advising Christians not to marry their non-religious loved one, because it would be 'unevenly yoked', I see hatred, etc, etc.

I'm not saying it's only Christians that are bad, every group has bad apples. But this is the group that keeps on telling me that "I need Jesus in my heart to be able to feel true love".

Is it weird that more and more I get the feeling there is a group of Christians that could better use a little more Jesus in their brain, instead of their so called hearts?

why did moses need to go to the mountian to recieve the 10 comandments . why didnt god just give them to him in frount of evry one ..... it seems in most religions there is someone god talks to in secret they never seem to have any witnesses that god really did talk to them .... that seems to cause doubt ...the secretcy ... it says god is no respector of persons....so why dont god just tell us what he wants us to know or at least tell the chosen ones while we r with them so we can witness it is true and not have to guess or wonder about their motives the bible says for us not to put our faith in man

If the Old Testament is fulfilled in Christ, then why are so many Christians claiming that you have to observe the Old Law?

If the bible and religious teachings tell us we can talk or pray to god anytime we want why do we need a priest in confession to be there listening to us spill our guts on what we did wrong . If that is the case he should not be there and neither should we ,we should just tell god ourselves and ask for forgiveness Does anyone agree?

I hate the concept of God and I want to be active about it, 'He' is destroying society and has been for centuries.
The world would be a better place if people didn't believe in 'Him'.

I think these are my top 3 types of questions:

1. Ark/Flood Questions
2. Questons that nobody could possibly know the answer to (i.e. 'How will I recognize my dog in heaven?')
3. The daily "Who else is going to Heaven?' question.

How is he making this world better?

He pretty much stays out of everything and lets us go on with our lives, so what is he actually doing for anyone?

you needed a heart transplant or you would die, but your pregnant.The dr's will not give you a transplant unless you are no longer pregnant.In
order to save your life would it be wrong to terminate the pregnancy?
I personally feel its still a sin. But didn't God give the Dr's the wisdom to know what to do? I am really confused on this. Please help!

I'm confused.....after my last posting, many of the christians told me these verses can't be taken litterally.

Either these verses work or they don't....which is it?

Also, when you say these can't be taken litterally....what are you basing that claim on?

Please provide me the verses that give you permission to not take these litterally.

Matthew 17:20:
"For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."

Mark 11:24:
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

James 5:15:
"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well;"
________________________________________________

If you do take these verses litterally....then PLEASE....go back and answer my last posting here:
