I already have one but it's like reading Shakespeare. Can someone recomend one that's easier to read and understand? I didn't go to sunday school growing up and I work all weekend so it's hard to go to church.

I am speaking on things that have an impact but want to give a broad scope then narrow it down...who/what has an impact on us and how we can impact others and our world. This talk will be geared to a judeo-christian belief for teenagers. Though all veiws are welcome and appreciated. thanks !

If you cannot see Him and if He always existed and if He is all powerful, does this mean that He is the Universe(Space) itself?

So, does this also mean that there is some anti-matter (Space) on earth so thus this means God is everywhere and knows what everyone is doing and that is why this explains that He knows what you are thinking because there exist, something much much smaller than an atom or electron or a proton or neutron and that is, space (God).

Think people should not do it? So then try to change your heterosexuality, and then we talk.

I think all you who go and tell homosexuals not to be homosexual anymore, mind your own business.

Since this one has been beaten the hell out of, why don't we see if anyone can actually come up with an original Mormon/Moron joke?

I'm not Mormon and don't care to be, but lack of originality is something that pains my backside more than Greg Luganis.

Unlike race, gender, sexual orientation or age, people have some ability to control which ideologies they will align themselves with (although the childhood brainwashing can make that extremely difficult, particularly if your country and family are monolithic.) I find it ethical to be prejudiced against those who believe a woman should be "kept in her place" by hitting her, and I find it ethical to be prejudiced against those who believe in a vicious god or gods.
Before you clap your hands over my discrimination against various Muslim denominations, be aware that I think Southern Baptists, Pentacostols and Southern Methodists are just as bad and deserve to be scorned.
If any Western religion is more decent than the others, it is obviously Judaism. They have traditionally been the victims of the other two. And Buddhism is the most decent of all.

I know Jesus became the final sacrice. do you

Isaiah 52

He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions
13Behold, my servant shall act wisely;
he shall be high and lifted up,
and shall be exalted.
14As many were astonished at you--
his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance,
and his form beyond that of the children of mankind--
15so shall he sprinkle many nations;
kings shall shut their mouths because of him;
for that which has not been told them they see,
and that which they have not heard they understand.

Isaiah 53

1Who has believed what they heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3He was despised and rejected by men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not

getting so out of place. I liked to come to this site to ask sincere questions to get insight. Or answer questions that others are looking for insight.

Please, does anyone respect that Jesus died for us and wants us to give testimonies or encourage one another.

There are other sites for most of these questions. Why does anyone choose to come to this site and reject what this sit is for?

If you're mormon, going to BYU, and don't drink, would you be embarrassed that all your boxes for moving were from the liquor store?

Jesus said: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven..."

If you have shared your faith in Jesus with gentleness and respect, like we are instructed in 1. Peter 3:15, and you still get insulted, how do you react? Rejoice that you made an impact or bite back? Honest answers please!

I thought there were a few references in the Bible and Torah about the evils of 'usury'. Whether this is interest or excessive interest I don't know. But then again what is excessive interest. Are credit cards charges usurious?

I know that Muslims will say that those who do terrible things and claim they are doing it for Allah, are not true Muslims for whatever reason they find in the Koran -

But the fact remains, the Muslim terrorists ARE Muslims and they do use the Koran to justify and even demand their actions! Any BOOK that has enough leeway to justify murder or evil, at all - especially if the book claims to be a mandate from GOD, is an evil book.

The Holy Bible. Is it possible that the Bible can be used in the same way? If a man reads the Bible and uses it's contents to convince others that it is right to defend the religion of Christianity, even unto death and murder, is he not, at least in part, justified?

Sure, you can claim that these people are misguided and not TRUE Christians, and you can dam-sure quote a string of scriptures (which some of you inevitably will) that show how this fella is not a TRUE Christian,

But he can find an equal # of scriptures to fully support his views!

What's up

I tried to explain few people there's a demon in me. Occassionally the demon will take over me and control everything I do. I can't resist it, it feel like as if I'm a puppet. When demon is in the charge, I can see, hear, smell, and feel everything he did. When I try to talk, only the demon can hear it but not anyone else.

No one is taking this seriously, it's driving me crazy. I don't like it when demon have control over me. I don't enjoy going out and sleep with people of demon's taste, they're creepy! They all have tattoos, funny hair styles, bunche of piercing. I'm sick of having all of those scratches and bites wound from the girls. My parents is getting suspicous.

I don't enjoy going around put sugar in car gas tank, sprinkle salt on lawn, trepassing abandoned places, slip a hose in someone house and turn water on, and other things. The demon even tried to get me stop going to church and it upset me.

I'm trying to seek help for this, how do I approach to people about this?

This is a sincere question. Suppose a friend, loved one or close acquaintance became despondent and wanted to commit suicide because they believed they should go to hell. At what point would you stop treating this as a problem of faith and start thinking of it as a mental health problem? How would you decide?
