Do you think "turn your other cheek" mentality makes sense? Of course we should be forgiving but don't you think that there can be some kind of punishment for such big sins? Why there is no capital punishment in the Bible?

What do you think about the "God Men" program that Brad Stine and other Christian men have started? It's purpose to draw the "warrior" out in Christian men and to make Jesus into a more strong, masculine, and tough figure.
(There is an NBC news video on the Yahoo home page if you want a link to know more about the program).

I'm not talking about legalities - remember Jesus was crucified for his stance against the system.

The technology revolution is upon us and it is quickly changing the context of our lives. New and fiercely intense debates have emerged from both Religious and Political constituents in an effort to determine technology´s place and ethical use. These embryos have the right to have life ?

My experience perspectives are as long as God -Jesus is in your heart, and you feel a connection type relationship that's all you need.
Go to any Church you feel like, God is in them all, and Jesus is the true Church.
I see so many Religions claiming that they are the true religion, church.
Truly God works in most all of them, but God don't care about what religion your in, just whats in your heart.
Some perhaps would hate me for saying what I feel is the truth.

What is your perspective on the war like issue??

Why are humans smarter than the other animals? why do we build large buildings and beautiful artwork? Why do we write poetry and books? How are we able to invent great things like airplanes and bridges, and temples? If we are just animals trying to pass genes and eat and survive, What stops us from just killing off our dads and just procreating with mom? Why do we bury are dead and celebrate their life with alcohol and parties? Is not life more special than you are giving credit?

Is there such a thing? I've always been told that there isn't because the beliefs conflict with each other.

I think that India should officially become a Hindu state for the following reasons:

1)
There are two hundred states in the world. From these 200 states dozens are Christian states and dozens are Muslim states. ALL the states that have majority Muslim populations in them are all officially Muslim states. ALL the states that have majority Christians in them are all Christian states. India is the ONLY state in the whole world that has a majority Hindu population and yet it is a crime if a Hindu demands India be categorised as a Hindu state. Hinduism isn't like Islam or Christianity which claim 75% of the world. India is the only Hindu state in the world. 1 country from a total of 200. What would be so wrong if the only one country that has a majority Hindu population categorises itself as a Hindu state? Please tell me. By India categorising itself as a Hindu state, it doesn't imply that all minority rights would disappear.

Do you know when does he died? if yes is easy to know his birthday.

And by the way i am not Jewish believe or not I am from Dominican Republic, but i like to read the bible and related things.

is very simple Jesus died in the passover (Luke 22:1-14) that date is in the bible in Exodus 12:1-5 said the day 14, and the month in chapter 13:1-5 (Abib) later that name was changed to Nisan (Esther 3:7) So his date of death is Nisan14 (this year April 2) easy he baptized whe he was 30 and he preach 3 and half years that date is in Daniel 9:24-27 (In the last of the 70 weeks at the half of that week of 7 years 7/2=3.5 years go read it) if you add 6 moth to the first month you will be in the seventh month Tisri and the day will be 15 because the 14 finish the semester so the next one will begin 15. and that is 5 days after Yom kippur that date is in (Leviticus 23:34-36).
Beatiful isn´t it?

Why is it they support using the Bible to support gov't action against gay marriage, the right to die, freedom of choice, and porn (and in the past women's rights and abolition of slavery), but won't use it to fight poverty or promote peace?

Jesus was always telling people to help the poor and even said it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to go to heaven. He also said to love your enemies, turn the other cheek, and fight evil with good. Instead I see christian conservatives in the media support torture and pre-emptive wars.

I dont kno which religion to believe, if its ok to not believe in ONE but hav a faith in a supreme power, i dont kno what is ok and what is not and its driving me crazy. im confused, i read stuff that say give me the impression that christianity and that stuff(like Jesus)is evil and christianity says everything else is. i am very confused and dont know what to believe.

if you are just going to come and preach what has been taught to you and NOT from you own personal experience then please do not answer, or at least do so without trying to FORCE YOUR OPINION down my throat.

How can you believe? Really there is no proof of anything. Listening to older religions there were once Gods among us, but Christianity wants us to worship an ever-present yet never present God. How can anyone brought up in today’s society believe in such nonsense? Woman from rib? Damnation from temptations what if Adam could confess his sins? Would he be OK? Why was he not given the chance? If God is real, and so help me I want Him to be so so bad, what is he so absent in our lives? Or anyone’s lives? With 9/11 it seems other religions Gods are more "rooting for them" than the Christian God is. How can you condemn "suicide" by taking out as many innocents as possible? If there is a Jesus, a Christian God, or hey any Any God, where are you? And how can anyone (please understand I want so much to understand) love and worship this God?

It make me sad that something i know with all my heart that i know is true people wont even try to understand! they simply believe it is evil or bad or many things like that because they dont know or can not comprehend! I am mormon and many people think it is bad or the teachings are evil or by what they here in rumors which most are false! when if they really looked in to it it is basiced on god and christ and is full of love and othering things in the bible! other religions will call it a cult and everything when they simply do not know and aren't they taught to not judge??? but i wish people would have a open heart !
