As far as I know, one of the basic facts in all religions is God does not want man to kill man. Why then does man think God wants us to fight in His name? Isn't this hypicritical?

If infant baptism was so wrong why did the early christians practice it as shown in the writings of the apostolic fathers, especially Polycarp (a disciple of the apostle/prybester John) and Irenaeus a disciple of Polycarp...

"Polycarp declared, 'Eighty and six years have I served Him, and He never did me injury: how then can I blaspheme my King and Saviour?" Polycarp, Martyrdom of Polycarp, 9 (A.D. 156). ( He started serving the Lord at his baptism, polycarp at this age was 86 years of age)

He [Jesus] came to save all through himself; all, I say, who through him are reborn in God: infants, and children, and youths, and old men. Therefore he passed through every age, becoming an infant for infants, sanctifying infants; a child for children, sanctifying those who are of that age . . . [so that] he might be the perfect teacher in all things, perfect not only in respect to the setting forth of truth, perfect also in respect to relative age" (Against Heresies 2:22:4 [A.D. 189]).

In Genesis 2:27 it says

So God created human beings, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female,

Reading this verse, doesnt this mean that God is humanly if he made us to be like him?
What do you think?

Considering rock to be rather vulgar (in a good way) and tasteless(in a good way) as well as a champion of the less lovable more chaotic half of humanity, is Christian Rock an oxymoron?

I'd say no.

For instance, in keeping with the admonition of the apostle Paul, if you thik something is fine and yet it disturbs others, you should keep it private between you and God, not being offensive to the conscientious worship of others. I think of the image issue. I as a Christin find this very disturbing and offensive, yet there are many things in orthodox practice that I like. I think if the orthodox church is serious about uniting-- not dividing or asserting offensive rules or seeking to override the Christian freedom of others, they should make it an order -to keep dubitable practices private to one's own home and not brought into the public worship where many of differing opinions come together. This would perhaps help to bring unity a bond of peace and love, waiting for our day before God our judge to see if what we thought and did in private and public, our services or abstinence from certain services will be condemned or commended. What do you think?

Not to be insulting, but seriously. I previously asked if anyone would believe in God (or even thought one exists at all) if their parents hadn't spoon fed them religion from day one, and the answers I got were generally, "Oh yessuh, yessuh I shure wouldz because I have witneszed a mirakul from God himself!" and so I guess what I'm asking here is for specific examples. I have just got to know, what specifically happened to make you throw away your sense of self worth and say there is something out there greater than man?

We will judge angels (I Cor 6:3), We will reign with Christ on earth and in the heavenlies (2 Tim 2:12), We will be witnesses at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15), We will judge the world (1 Cor 6:2), and attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19:7)

If God revealed to us the glories that await us, it would blow our minds (2 Cor 12:4)----Repent, its not too late!!!!

I'm asking purely out of curiosity; I really don't see anything in the Mormon belief system that could earn such a negative name as "cult." All the ones I'm associated are wonderful people, and I want to know why some hate them because of their religion--why some would not vote for Mitt Romney just because he's a Mormon.

I want to know because if we are suppose to get this done as babies then why didn't Jesus get baptized until he was like around 33 yrs old. Why didn't he get baptized when he was a baby? And it never says anything about babies getting babtized in the bible. In the bible is talks about teaching them then Baptizing them.

According to Jewish law people are either born Jew or they convert to Judaism. So if Jews still feel chosen why are they not as adamant about converting the world to Judaism like Christians and Muslims are to Christianity and Islam? If the purpose of being chosen means to guide the world(to show them light) then why do I feel that Jews want to be disassociated with society but also recognized as elite because they were chosen to give the message(even though this gift was revoked by Christ)? This question is not meant to badger jews.
