A) Your parents
B) God
C) Both A and B
D) Other (If you choose this one, please explain what "Other" is.)

AND...
If you can only choose between A and B, which of those two would be your preference to say.

This is a two-part question.
Consider it a kind of a poll.

I always watch Joel Osteen and I think he's a great and motivational speaker. He is the kind of guy we need- always reminds us we have a sense of purpose and potential even when we are discouraged and it has worked for me- I have managed to shrug off disappointments just by listening to him and learned to cope with disappointing people and situations.

then why are so many Christians behind bars right now?

Think about the number of people in the US. Now consider how many of them are Christians. Then look at how many people are currently incarcerated as well as the statistics based on the religious beliefs of inmates.

The numbers don't add up....

Where's the Bible and it's moralities? How effective is it really?

Has everyone realized the age group of all these bashers that live on here? All are 15-24, that alone speaks volume of why they are here and do what they do. For anyone older than that age, clearly recalls that age and how confusing it was during that age.

Glad you are here atheists, proves that Jesus is working on you. Keep up asking the questions, it just makes God that much stronger whether you believe it or not. For every time you read his name, you say it in your head, he hears it and works on you.

Keep up the faith, for sooner or later you will see the truth. Once again, glad you are here with the power of the Lord. And realize all that hate you feel inside, and I know you hate for I use to walk in your shoes, is nothing more than Lucifer.

( I tracked this info for wks, looked into 360 pages, etc, so don't tell me you lied on profile, homework already done ahead of time)

about six weeks ago I have gotten really close with god. Now every time I pray or just think about him I get chills all over my body. Is that the holy spirit?

2007-03-04 15:50:28 · 25 answers · asked by amber r 1

I was raised in a different religion and I personally know people who were molested, the church knew about it, covered it up within the organisation and interfered with police investigation for the cases that were eventually reported. They also told the children who came forward that since the person who molested them repented, they needed to forgive them for it or God would be angry at them. In one case the molester was a family member and they left the child living with him. There were also other children in the household and it was never investigated whether the other children were being abused.
But this wasn't all over the news. The only cases that have been are the Catholic ones. People sound so shocked and disgusted by what's gone wrong in the Catholic church but they don't realise that this happens in every religion.

They accept Jesus as their Christ so we all know the booty-shakers are "going" to heaven. Not to mention the gangsters and movie stars...

Do you have to be socially pressured into believing it before you can reject it? Let's say you live on an island where no one is Christian. In the library you find the Bible in the fiction department and you read front to back and regard all of it as good fiction. Is that rejecting the Bible? Would the "Holy Spirit" be able to reach you in that scenario?

Ok, I know it looks like I just answered my own question. But....

According to the bible and other things I have read. " The daughter of Pharaoh named him Mosheh" MOSES.

Also according to the bible. Moses' mother Jochebed, hide him for three months and when she could no longer hide him, she put him where he could be found by Pharaoh's daughter Thermuthis.

The bible goes on the say about Moses mother taken care of him after Thermuthis found him to nurse him and he was then raised by Thermuthis.

But it never says what Moses' mother, Jochebed, named him all those three months that she and she alone had him.. I know she would have named him something.

The only thing I can find online are where is name comes from. The meaning of it. But with all that it still have the daughter naming him.

Not what his real mother would have named him.

Can I only have adult answers please.!!

I have never heard this in my life that people think that holy spirit is a human being, where do you pull this from? Please don't say the trinity, Because the trinity is no where found in the bible, it came out of a mans mouth, and millions jumped on the bandwagon and followed that lie. Jesus says that the father is greater than I. Give all praise to Jehovah. And he does the work of his father.
So how do you come to this conclusion of a trinity
