Since Jesus doesn't make mistakes, who were these baskets for? one for each of the disciples? one for each of the days of the week? what is the meaning here?

For me, that is the best analogy I can come up with. I find the answers it offers are too simplistic and generally unsatisfying.

When do you feel the door to the "Age of Grace" will close?

Do you believe it is in our life time? If so, give your reasoning please.

Thank you!

They are then trampled on by the Egyptians and Assyrians and Babylonians and Romans and Christians and Nazis and Arabs. They become the most persecuted people in the entire history of the human race, with endless heartrending stories of exile and suffering and torture and homelessness and slaughter and terrorism and paranoia. Belief in a god in itself is one thing, but if you have an ounce of objectivity and more than three brain cells, can you believe that god ever cared about these people or ever told them the truth? Does this even get off the intellectual launching pad?

Please! JESUS CHRIST! Take all of these Christians away already. I'm begging you. Get them outta here. Take them someplace where they can cry amongst themselves.

I'm not asking the question of whether a catholic is a christian. I think that anyone with a sound knowledge of history/religion up to the eighth grade level can answer that, catholicism is a sub-sect of christianity. If you would like to argue I rather that you actually research the roots of christianity first, and perchance note that Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox are the 3 main sub-sects of the christianity-- meaning most acclaimed christians fall under one of the three categories.



What I am asking is this:
Why is there so much ignorance about whether a catholic is a christian or not? and why do claimingly 'well-educated' people try to scientifically argue that a catholic is not a christian? i'm wondering whether this is solely ignorance or are we actually experiencing some form of discrimination/prejudice within the same sect of religion?

Theists regularly assert that without God, there is no free will. How do they reconcile that assertion with "everything" being part of "God's plan"?

Everytime I find one it is negative which causes inner turmoil which leads to more negatives, etc..
I want to believe there is good in them, how do I find something positive, because I cant find positive things and no positive history for sure, cuz I know them to be the mussulmans in our history as a child that our forefathers had many problems with..........HELP ME FIND SOMETHING GOOD.
I did find this site to prove God answers my prayers, but, I want to find something good that is not necessarily biblical, or religious about them.

My theory is that we are all RIGHT on the topic of what happens when you die. Atheists, christians, muslims, etc. are destined to become exactly what they have come to believe. It all makes perfect sense. We are all so busy arguing our case when I happen to believe the truth lies with each of us on an individual level. Does anyone else feel this could be a reasonable thought?

Come on Christians, be honest.

Admit you see all of us atheist and non-believers in Jesus/bible as messengers from the Devil, coming to attempt to confuse your mind and bring you away from your God?

I am trying to figure if it would be morally right for me to pursue my friend whom I believe to be bisexual. (?)

He considers himself to be Christian, though I think alternate sexualities are not Christian-like. But on the other hand, is it alright to reconcile that if he's dating me then his bi-sexualityshouldn't matter because he'd be in a monogamous relationship with me?

Please NO SLURS about homo/bi-sexuals.

It's as if all LDS people are for is a punching bag. Who else is sick of not being listened to by people who don't understand what they are talking about? I'm not meaning people who really want to know, just those who think they are smart, but haven't researched anything about our religion but anti-mormon literature or doctrine. Why can't people just ask someone in the church for answers, instead of asking people who aren't of the faith?

Lastnight I had a dream that I was standing in a field with my mother.. when all of a sudden a big blast went up into the air and came crashing back down to earth. A big explosion went off. A shockwave (which I could see) was sent thumping through my body. I knew at that moment I had died and suddenly woke up from my dream gasping for air. Im hoping someone might be able to tell me what this means.. if anything at all. Thanks :)

...as Muslims do, Christians rarely pray at all.

Don't give me no jive, now. Christians only pray when they are in trouble or need something. That's real love people...

Two Mormons from Yahoo! Q/A have asked me to post questions here about Mormonism. This is the first one. If I get a decent answer, I'll move on to the next one, which is more difficult.

This is I Neph 4:9 from the Book of Mormon:

"And I beheld his sword, and I drew it forth from the sheath thereof; and the hilt thereof was of pure gold, and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine, and I saw that the blade thereof was of the most precious steel."

(This verse comes from a story that took place around 600 BC in Judea.)

My questions are these:

Why would a sword have a pure gold hilt? Gold is a lot heavier than other metals and very soft, in fact useless for a sword except for ceremonial purposes.

Why would a sword in 600 BC be made of steel, if steel wasn't invented until 2000 years later?

How do you guide your life by a religion that is founded upon the integrity of books that make errors like this?

(This is a question of morality and common sense.)
